A stay at one of the many fine Anglesey cottages on this beautiful North Wales island offers the visitor a perfect base from which to explore many natural attractions.
Situated in the path of the Gulf Stream the island offers a pleasant, mild climate known for its sunshine and so an Anglesey cottage self-catering holiday is the ideal accompaniment to these natural advantages.
Whether you are a very active person looking for water sports adventure, cycling or walking or just want a restful break with friends or family, the island has a broad range of cottages which suite most tastes.
The owners of these Anglesey cottages have in many cases sensitively renovated the properties, old farm buildings and stables, so that they achieve an authentic charm which is in keeping with local tradition and natural surroundings.
Among the features of these properties will be a stone fireplace in the dining room and the lounge an sometimes a wood burning stove in the kitchen which will invariably have a tiled floor.
Expect to enjoy the benefits of double glazing in your Anglesey cottage along with the advantages of a central heating system.
You will find some properties have ground and first floor bedrooms, and based on the number of people it sleeps, a cottage may have both twin and single rooms and with en-suite facility.
Visitors can expect their cottage in Anglesey to provide the linen and duvets required as well as a TV facility and a room for washing clothes. A full kitchenware range is also included.
If you are a pet lover, you may not need to leave them with friends or in kennel or cattery because some island cottages allow pets so long as they are behaved.
Staying in a self-catering Anglesey cottage means you will have many choices of where exactly you want to get much needed peace and quiet from your busy schedule, it could be on the coast or maybe a more central island district.
What a tonic it would be to get out of bed, wander across to the garden patio as the morning sun is rising, stretching your arms out, taking in the fresh sea air, seeing the Snowdonia range in the east, and tasting the sharp freshly made black coffee.
Perhaps if you like getting up early you could wake up to the natural alarm clock of the dawn chorus in the hedges next to your cottage, slip to the kitchen, make a quick brew and step outside and enjoy the steady sunrise over Snowdonia.
Another advantage of your self-catering Anglesey cottage holiday is being able to take exercise before breakfast by cycling along one of the quiet country lanes, taking in the many colourful flowers, trees and bucolic charm of your surroundings.
A number of island cottages are clustered around the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), a designated zone which runs along most of the Anglesey coast.
Its great to combine sea and mountain views with walking the coast and adventurous sports such as surfing. There are great 18 hole golf courses near many island cottages.
For those of you who love the outdoors and walking specifically, remember to bring your boost as there is a recently opened 125-mile coastal path with breathtaking sea views.
On summer evenings as the sun sets in the west it is often possible to see the Wicklow mountains silhouetted against the light purple sky, and just imagine being able to appreciate this view from your cottage garden.
Bring your day of activity on the island to a close by relaxing in your garden with a glass of wine and see the sun sink below the horizon.
The road network is generally of a very high standard with a major dual carriageway (A55) across the island from the Britannia Bridge. There is an one hour air link to Cardiff from Anglesey Airport at RAF Valley and a fast car ferry to Dublin from Holyhead.
So whether it is for an Anglesey holiday winter break when you can walk across quiet coastal paths and long sandy beaches or to enjoy the summer sunshine, choosing one of the quality Anglesey cottages is a great way to experience this pleasant, green island.
