About this property

The Gatehouse apartment - Penysarn

The Gatehouse is a ground floor apartment adjoining the main property 'Castle House' in the Village of Penysarn. The property has a large 250 ft garden which is currently a work in Progress as we only moved here ourselves a few months ago. The apartment has two bedrooms - a double and twin with a kitchen and brand new modern bathroom. It is dog friendly for up to 2 medium sized dogs. A charge of £10 per dog per stay is charged on arrival.
The tranquil beach of Llaneilian is only a mile and a half away down a country lane and makes for a beautiful walk. This then takes you to the stunning coastal path of Anglesey if you so wish.
Penysarn also nestles in the shadow of the Parys Mountain which was once the home of the largest copper mine in the world and is now a Heritage Centre.
We have a regular bus service which stops around the corner from the property every half hour and will take you everywhere on the Island or even North Wales if you so wish.
The nearest Town is Amlwch, about 3 minutes drive away, which used to be a thriving fishing and merchant Port. Fishing trips can be arranged if required.

Nice apartment and very friendly hosts

We had a great stay and fell in love with Anglesey. The apartment was clean and spacious and it will be even nicer once the garden is finished. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

Thank you for your comments Kristina. We can keep you updated of the garden's progress if you like. The Turf has taken exceptionally well and a wild meadow has now been added including a bug hotel and two safety tunnels for hedgehogs.

Ideal location

Perfect place for everything we needed. 7 minutes door to door from Bully Bay golf club, private parking & plenty of space for 2/3 people. Gwenda was incredibly helpful, welcoming & attentive from the moment we got there & we enjoyed the welcome basket! Thank you 🙏

Not impressed.

Oh the power of advertising! This property was advertised as being for adults only, with a large garden for the use of visitors/dogs. However, on arrival there was a family with 3 young boys in the flat above. The sound insulation between the two was negligible, so all we heard were thumps, bumps and loud conversation until 11.30pm. The 'garden' was accessed via the car park/building site, by squeezing between two vehicles, and was barely big enough for a medium sized dog to canter around! I presume by 'large garden' the car park was included? One also had to have said dog on a lead for safety to get to it as the property is also adjacent to the main road through the village. This renders the twin bedroom to the front noisy, and one is unable to open the windows as they are directly on to the pavement outside, so noise/security is an issue. Heating was at the behest of the hosts, albeit the woodburner was an option if you wanted to buy fuel. The single beds were of the smaller variety with only single duvets which slipped off on a regular basis, so sleeping comfortably was not possible. The 'homemade' Marmade marmalade, bara brith and pint of milk was a kind gesture, but did not make up for the dodgy TV (the signal was blamed but I believe the other flats did not have the same problem) and lack of radio. Signage to the beach was negligible so take your map/sat nav!!! Overall, an interesting stay but not one to be repeated. Buyer beware!

Perfect getaway

I had a very warm welcome for both me and my dog. If was made sure I understood how all the appliances worked and knew were to find everything. The apartment was comfortable and cosy and well equipped with everything I needed including a small stool in the kitchen which was a godsend as I'm rather short to reach cupboards. The homemade bara brith and marmalade was a lovely touch and much appreciated. Great location for exploring the island. It was just a pity there is no pub in the village as would have been nice to have got out in the evening with the dog for dinner and a drink but being on my own and having no one to share a drive with meant not really being able to get out but that is the only thing I would change and def not a negative reflection on the accommodation just worth being aware of.

Thank you for your kind words. We try very hard to please our guests and help them to have a memorable holiday. I agree, it’s such a shame about the pub. The community camaradre and social hub was lost when the pub closed down.

Lovely accommodation and grounds.

Very good accommodation and ideal base for discovering Anglesey. Moelfre is well worth a visit with beautiful clear water in the bay and the Kinmel public house for food was very good also. Doggie friendly too

Lovely property, quiet location

The hosts Gwenda and Dick were lovely and advised if we needed anything just to ask. The apartment had great amenities even including to my happy surprise a dishwasher. The double bed was very comfortable and the shower has plenty of heat and power. Very well located for anywhere on Anglesey.
