Guest Book Comments
We enjoyed Sandy's Bar, Y Merlin pub which are both dog friendly. Food in Sandy's Bar is excellent.
Thank you for a very good week's stay.
The house has almost everything one needs for a beach holiday. The village meets basic needs (we recommend Oyster Catcher and Mojo's for meals - and Sea Shanty Cafe in Trearddur.
We filled the week and enjoyed every minute. Lovely to be able to bring our puppy along to discover the beach too! Thank you for making your beach hut available - we hope we will be back!
We went up the Rhyddu path up Snowdon would highly recommend this. We did it with a 5 year old!
Mojo's crepes were delicious and highly recommended. Hope to return to Rhosneigr one day in the future.
Whilst we cannot guarantee availability for these dates, you may enquire below and we'll be in touch with the owner.
