Property information
A serene location, Old Barns holiday cottage is ideal for wildlife enthusiasts as it backs on to a vast area of RSPB land. You are in a perfect position to explore all that the island has to offer. If you can bring yourself to leave the peaceful surroundings of the Old Barns, you will find Newborough Beach, arguably the most picturesque location in all of North Wales, just a few minutes away.
The house is based around a gravel courtyard, and its large windows gaze out over the fine Anglesey countryside. The house is so well suited for large groups and families with a number of places to relax whether it be in front of a roaring fire, basking in sunshine or escaping in the gallery. The kitchen is superb and has so much space that you will be able to cook a feast and still have room to sit around and chat.
The sitting room is a really spacious area. One end has a seating area housing bookshelves and a flatscreen TV, and the other has a carpeted seating area surrounding a large open fireplace. French windows lead out to a decked area and lawned gardens.
There is a gallery bedroom/sitting area overlooking the main sitting room which has twin beds.
The large farmhouse kitchen with a large dining table in the centre. Well equipped with both an Aga and an electric cooker and microwave as well as a large American fridge/freezer, and the most important thing when you are on holiday - a dishwasher!
On the ground floor, located at opposite ends of the house, are two bedrooms comprising a master bedroom with en suite and another double bedroom. There are two shower rooms downstairs with shower, loo and wash basin. There is a further twin bedroom and a cloakroom upstairs.
The garden is fantastic! Open the doors of the sitting room and you can walk out onto the decking where you will find garden furniture. Sit here and enjoy the peace and quiet of your surroundings with a cuppa, or a nice glass of wine. The lawned area is great if you have children that want to let...
