Gwyllt Cottages

A Barn-Conversion Cottage with Snowdonia Views at Llangaffo

Gwyllt is a beautifully converted barn cottage at Llangaffo, near Dwyran in the south of Anglesey, with breathtaking views across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Snowdonia. Part of a small, exceptionally well-rated group of holiday cottages on a peaceful rural site, it sleeps six and welcomes dogs — a lovely, relaxing base for exploring the south of the island, its forests, beaches and the magical Llanddwyn Island.

The cottage

This three-bedroom cottage sleeps up to six and is one of a handful of characterful conversions of former agricultural buildings on the site. Inside you will find a private, well-equipped kitchen with a fridge, microwave, kettle and dining table, a comfortable living space warmed by a log-burning stove, and a genuine sense of peace and quiet. Outside there is a garden with those wonderful mountain views, a sun terrace and outdoor seating, plus free private parking. Shared extras on site include barbecue facilities, a picnic area and even bike hire, and free Wi-Fi runs throughout (and is rated highly by guests). Well-behaved dogs are welcome on request for a small nightly charge, so the whole family can come along.

Llangaffo and south Anglesey

Llangaffo sits in the quiet south of Anglesey near Newborough, looking across the Menai Strait to the peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia). It is a wonderful corner of the island: nearby Newborough boasts a vast forest and one of Wales’s most beautiful beaches, leading to the magical tidal island of Llanddwyn with its lighthouse and the legend of Saint Dwynwen. The Anglesey Sea Zoo, the National Trust’s grand Plas Newydd house and gardens on the strait, and the bridge town of Menai Bridge are all close by, while Beaumaris and the rest of the island are within easy reach.
