Pen Parc

Pen Parc is a ground-floor bungalow in Brynteg, on the north coast of Anglesey. Everything is on one level: four bedrooms (a king, a double, and two singles), a bathroom with walk-in shower, plus a living room with woodburner and 50-inch TV, separate dining room, and a kitchen equipped for proper cooking. One dog stays free. A large enclosed garden wraps around the property, with parking for five cars on site.

The essentials are covered—heating, electricity, linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included. The kitchen has a dishwasher and washer-dryer, so you can manage a week without much forward planning. A travel cot and highchair are available if needed. There's a beach 3½ miles away; a shop is 10 yards from the door. The entire north coast is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the 125-mile coastal path runs around the island. Holyhead port is nearby for ferries to Ireland, while Snowdonia National Park lies a short drive inland. This suits families or groups wanting a comfortable, unstuffy base for exploring both coast and mountains without fussing over stairs.
