Hen Dy is a perfect holiday destination - situated between the beaches of Anglesey and Snowdon. The house is set in an idyllic garden on a sheep farm.

The children loved all the activities in the area and also, feeding the lambs on the farm. There are plenty of really fabulous walks if you have a dog with you.
