On beautiful Anglesey, close to sandy beaches and medieval castles, a cluster of carefully restored farm buildings. These traditional stone and slate houses have been transformed into comfortable, stylish self-catering properties. From home-baked cake on arrival to complimentary logs supplied for wood-burners, you’re well looked after. ‘Owl Barn’ and ‘The Farmhouse’ are neighbours in an old house built in 1870 and can be rented separately or together. Both are light and spacious, with plump sofas to sink into, smart bathrooms and beds topped with colourful Welsh blankets. An interconnecting door can link the two properties and Owl Barn has a big kitchen overlooking the pretty gardens, for group feasts. Little ‘Woodpecker Cottage’ is a snug bolthole for two with a magical walled garden where you can breakfast al fresco; it has a kitchenette for simple cooking, too. Outside, stone paths lead through lovely, lawned gardens shaded by mature trees: guests are welcome to wander. Beyond your peaceful rural retreat, there are miles of scenic coastal paths and cycle trails to explore.
We had a lovely week staying at The House in the Yard and were delighted with our accommodation. We could hear sheep and cows when we woke up in the morning and nothing else and the beds were so comfortable. The boot room was so handy and our dog loved the grounds. Our children enjoyed the tree house, table tennis and a rope swing. We will definitely recommend you to friends.
