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.

About the host
Hosted by Gwenda
We have many years experiences of looking after guests through B & B and self catering. Dic and I have 6 children and all have now left the nest (woohoo)! the bonus of this is that we now have 14 grandchildren.
We bought Castle House as we had originally thought to downsize but when you see the size of the property, you'll see that we got that wrong ! We used to own the local Village and shop which also had a Post Office. After 8 years of work beginning at 6.00 a.m and ending at 8.00 p.m. we decided that we wanted a 'life'. We also had a small cafe so we have many years of face to face contact with people.
My background is in theatre and television and I am a very outgoing person who enjoys the company of others very much. I get a lot of pleasure from entertaining and looking after other people which makes it ideal to be a holiday host.
My hobby is baking and cooking and I have an honesty cart outside the house and it has jams, chutneys and cakes on a daily basis which is another form of looking after people.

Why they chose this property
The property is quite simple but we have a very high standard of cleanliness and as we live on the site, we are available should any problems arise. This is the ideal location for a quiet holiday. There is a very large garden that we only discovered some time after moving in. It is still very much a work in progress project but we hope to have it looking the way we want it by next season. We see quite a bit o f wild life wandering around the garden and if you're lucky, you may even see our little squirrel The property is centrally located in the small Village of Penysarn and just around the corner is the Village shop and Post Office and opposite the property is the local craft shop which sells local ales and gins.
As you need a car to get anywhere on the Island, we are ideally positioned for you to get to wherever you want.
There are many different types of beaches not too far away, so if you're looking for a family sandy beach or a quiet little rocky cove, it's all here for you.
