The Dairy was previously a working dairy, which has been beautifully renovated to combine traditional character and charm with carefully selected contemporary furnishings. Set in its own grounds on the outskirts of the quiet yet accessible village of Llandegfan between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris on Anglesey, this detached cottage is a stunning place from which to enjoy a holiday.
'for relaxed dining in a vibrant atmosphere try Dylans in Menai Bridge, or for a truly unique experience go to Sospan and the Old Butchers (book well in advance!)' from Jacky, our local property manager
The Cottage: The Dairy is arranged on a single level so suitable for those with limited mobility, but with one step up to the master bedroom and two steps down from the dining area into the lounge and the second bedroom. The flooring is attractive stone throughout.
Living Room: this large open-plan living dining room is beautifully presented and enjoys high cathedral style ceilings. There are two generous sofas, a flatscreen Smart TV with Netflix/ DVD/CD player, WiFi and a good selection of books and magazines. The dining area has a wooden table with seating for six.
Kitchen: the simple Shaker style kitchen has a Belfast sink, wooden surfaces and includes a dishwasher and washer/dryer. It is styled with reminders of the cottages' heritage as a dairy such as slate window sills, a milk churn and butter paddles.
There are two tasteful bedrooms
Bedroom 1: the spacious main bedroom is a beautiful room with a high ceiling and super king size bed and plenty of storage
Bedroom 2: is a beamed twin bedroom, which can be arranged as a double if preferred, although access to the bed is restricted to the one side in this configuration.
Shower room: boasts a large walk-in tiled shower with a separate WC and basin opposite.
Outside: The Dairy is located in an enclosed spacious and private courtyard surrounded by traditional stone walls. There is garden seating for four within the courtyard along with a barbecue, fire pit and ample off-road parking for cars/boat. Secure bike storage available.
Guests are warmly invited to explore the wonderful gardens of the neighbouring Farmhouse - a formal terrace with pond and raised planters plus a traditional walled garden - both featured in The Telegraph - also an orchard, swing and seating positioned to admire the views. Nearby Beaumaris has a historic castle and gaol and is in a lovely position on the Menai straits. Walks can be taken along the coast to the spectacular Penmon Point with its ancient priory, dove cote and lighthouse. Boat trips can be taken to explore Puffin Island and its wildlife, or rib rides for the more adventurous. The small town of Menai Bridge (along with Beaumaris) has many lovely independent shops and a good selection of quality cafes and restaurants. The National Trust's Plas Newydd with its spectacular house and gardens is a short drive away whilst just across the Menai Straits is the city of Bangor and the Snowdonia National Park.
Dogs are made to feel very welcome at The Dairy; the courtyard is safe and enclosed and there is an outside tap and hose for cleaning muddy paws. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome.
