The Bothy

Holiday Home Description

For those who are interested in Welsh history and tales of rivalry and swashbuckling pirates Lleiniog has it all. Not to mention a reputation for having a variety of ghosts in the main house. Those fascinated by nature will love the property as it is home to bats, hares, barn owls and even slow worms and the odd adder basking in the sun. The part of the Menai Straits infront of the house is a triple SSI area and has the remains of a stone pier which can be seen at low tide. Dublin is also only a 90 minute sea crossing away so you can easily take a day trip to Ireland.

The Bothy is a semi detached converted cattle shed with the original pine beams exposed in the ceiling.

It has its own little garden in front of it that is ideal to sit out and enjoy the views and weather in.

It has two bedrooms, one double and the second, which is small, has a triple bunk (a double bed at the bottom and a single above).

The living area is open plan with a wood burning stove and a galley kitchen. The kitchen has a washing machine, a fridge with a freezer section, oven, microwave, kettle and toaster.

There is a Digital Television complete with DVD player. There is also a radio.

The bathroom has an overhead shower over the bath.

Notes on accommodation

We provide all the linen and towels, dishcloths and tea towels. We also can provide a high chair and a cot at extra cost. All the cottages are Grade II listed and each has its own very individual personality.

Accessibility

The only cottage that would be suitable for someone with mobility problems would be Lleiniog Cottage as one can sleep on the ground floor in the sofa bed in the sitting room and use the ground floor bathroom. However, the doorways are not wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair unfortunately. We cannot change this as the property is Grade II listed.

Outside

All the cottages are accessed by the second drive entrance. There is plenty of parking for the cars. The Bothy has its own little front garden and Lleiniog Cottage has seating outside the cottage. The Granary has no immediate garden area but as we are in the country there are plenty of places to go and sit and enjoy the scenery. We encourage people to recycle as much as they can but we also find that our bins and specialist recycling boxes keep being 'removed'. There is a recycling centre in the first car park on the left as you approach Beaumaris from Lleiniog.

Anglesey Area Information

Coast/Beach

We are just across the road from Lleiniog Beach so walking it takes no more than one minute. There is a wonderful sandy beach at Llandonna some 5 miles away on the other side of the peninsula which would take some 10 minutes by car.

Golf

There are two golf courses in Beaumaris 2 miles away. Llangefni has a municipal golf course by the Oriel Ynys Mon and there are clubs in Rhosniegr and Holyhead.

Skiing

There is a dry ski slope in Llandudno on the Great Orme which is only three quarters of an hour away.

Special interest holidays

The official name of the main house is Castell Lleiniog indicating that there was probably a castle on the site prior to the present day building which in itself dates from the 1600s . Today it is family owned and the renovated farm cottages and outbuildings are rented out as unique holiday homes.

We intend to hold courses at Lleiniog on Bats, Sculpting and painting as well as weekends with a well know singer/comedy group informing people about local history in the next year, so please let me know if you are interested and we can try to plan around your interests.

Travel

Liverpool and Manchester airports are the nearest commercial airports to us some 65 miles away. On the Island we have RAF Valley airport which runs a service to Cardiff and back daily and is subsidized by the Welsh Assembly Government about 20 miles away. As we are very rural the use of car is preferable but we do have a regular bus service that runs past Lleiniog or to the end of the road a 5 minutes walk which takes you to Bangor with connections to all parts of Anglesey and North/Mid Wales.

Distances

Llangoed is our local village and walking distance from us along the river Lleiniog (15 munutes max). There we have an excellent PO selling everything you need including the best bacon and local eggs, bread and honey. Beaumaris is two and half miles away with its castle and Gaol and has masses of good eating places as well as interesting and individual shops catering for all needs. Penmon Point with its lighthouse and famous Dove cote is 2 miles away. Llandudno is only 30 miles away.

Further details

Dublin is an easy day trip from Anglesey and makes an exciting day out for a change. We recommend the Bull in Beaumaris, Harry's bar at Henllys Hall, the Ship at Red Wharf Bay and the Straits in Menai Bridge for really good but pricier food. The Straits offer a special price if you eat before 7.15 pm. Cheaper but very good meals can be had at the Pier, Moo Baa's, The Pizza House and the Sailors Return in Beaumaris. We are lucky to have an excellent butcher in Moo Baas who sells his own Black Welsh Beef and his lambs. Gareth at the local Llangoed PO has local vegetables, honey, bacon and eggs. Well work a visit. We now have Waitrose in Menai bridge where Princess Kate can be seen shopping on occassions. In Bangor there is Morrisons, Tescos, Aldi & Lidl.

There is a farmers market in Menai Bridge once a month and in Llangefni a market twice a week. Also in Llangefni there is an Asda, Iceland and Home Bargains, plus an Aldi and a Lidl.

There a number of car boots sales on the Island the biggest being at Mona.

Excellent windsurfing, sailing and water sports can be had at Rhosneigr. There is a lot of fishing and sailing available in Beaumaris. There is even a dry ski slope in Llandudno as well as a ten pin bowling alley.

North Wales has Castles everywhere from Plas Newydd on Anglesey to Caernavon Castle, Pnerhyn Castle at Bangor, Harlech, Rhuddlan, Denbigh, Dolwyddedan, and Fflint Castles.

The Snowdonia National Park is renowned for its beauty as well as its fantastic climbs and walks.
