Pen Lon (The Gingerbread House) is situated in a quiet country lane signposted 'Rhoscefnhir' overlooking fields.
It takes about 10 minutes drive to reach the cottage once you cross either of the bridges
The village of Pentreath, just a couple of miles away is where you can buy virtually anything you will need for your stay.
There are pubs and shops in the village.
We very much welcome your pets (2 are included in the cost). They are reasonably safe as the garden can be secured, but of course we can never guarantee this (Benson our Basset likes to climb over the fence)! but the lane is quiet and we can soon get him back. However you must be responsible for your pet.
There are often sheep in the field over the road but it does have high hedges so I think its safe from would be 'sheep dogs'
Once the gates are shut, the garden is enclosed to keep smaller children safe.
Not far from the cottage, little further along the main road is the sign for Red Wharf Bay - our favourite pub 'The Ship'. is here, with lots of outdoor tables - take your dogs, and sit in the sun. Food is great, enormous fresh fish and chips!
There is also a lovely restaurant 'The Old Boathouse' in the bay. But like most places on the Island, you will need to book early to eat there.
Down the same country lane on your left, is the 'St David's Bay' Holiday Park with the highly acclaimed restaurant 'The Tavern' with spectacular views and really good food. A must to visit, but BOOK early if you want to eat there.
There's also a children play area on this site which you can enjoy.
We are not too far from the main town of Beaumaris with its many chic shops and restaurants. and there is the Castle to explore. or 'crabbing' from the pier with the children, my grandchildren love to catch the crabs.
If you enjoy a long country walk then the cottage is the perfect base for this.
I personally prefer to just sit in the sunshine with a coffee, or in one of the many little tea shops on the island. Then in the evenings find a spot with a lovely view of the sea and just chill out with a Chardonnay!
