Overview
The Dairy is a gorgeous boutique style holiday cottage on the isle of Anglesey, providing unique accommodation in which to relax and unwind. As the name suggests, The Dairy was previously a working dairy, which has been beautifully renovated to combine traditional character and charm with carefully selected contemporary furnishings. Set in its own grounds on the outskirts of the quiet yet accessible village of Llandegfan between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris, the detached cottage is a stunning place from which to enjoy a holiday.
The Dairy is arranged on a single level so suitable for those with limited mobility, but with two steps down from the dining area into the lounge and the second bedroom. The flooring is attractive stone throughout. The large open-plan living/dining room is beautifully presented and enjoys high cathedral style ceilings. There are two generous sofas, a flatscreen TV/ DVD/CD player and WiFi and a good selection of books and magazines. There is a wooden table with seating for six. The simple Shaker style kitchen has a Belfast sink, wooden surfaces and includes a dishwasher and washer/dryer. It is styled with reminders of the cottages' heritage as a dairy such as slate window sills, a milk churn and butter paddles. There are two bedrooms, the spacious main bedroom is a beautiful room with a high ceiling and super king size bed and the second, although compact in layout, is a pretty twin bedroom which can be arranged as a double if preferred, although access to the bed is restricted to the one side in this particular configuration. The modern shower room boasts a large walk-in shower with a separate WC and basin opposite.
The Dairy is located in an enclosed spacious and private courtyard surrounded by traditional stone walls. There is garden seating for four within the courtyard along with a barbecue and ample off-road parking for cars/boat. Guests are warmly invited to explore the wonderful gardens of the neighbouring Farmhouse - a formal terrace with pond and raised planters plus a traditional walled garden - both featured in The Telegraph - also an orchard, swing and seating positioned to admire the views. Nearby Beaumaris has a historic castle and gaol and is in a lovely position on the Menai straits. Walks can be taken along the coast to the spectacular Penmon Point with its ancient priory, dove cote and lighthouse. Boat trips can be taken to explore Puffin Island and its wildlife, or rib rides for the more adventurous. The small town of Menai Bridge (along with Beaumaris) has many lovely independent shops and a good selection of quality cafes and restaurants. The National Trust's Plas Newydd with its spectacular house and gardens is a short drive away whilst just across the Menai Straits is the city of Bangor and the Snowdonia National Park.
Dogs are made to feel very welcome at The Dairy; the courtyard is safe and enclosed and there is an outside tap and hose for cleaning muddy paws. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome.

BEACHES AND COAST
The Isle of Anglesey has a wide selection of beautiful beaches many with Blue Flag, Green Flag or Seaside Awards. The nearest, Beaumaris, is family friendly with good shops, cafes and nice sand, the castle is worth exploring. Crab fishing is good fun off the pier and bait is available at the ice-cream kiosk.
Further afield try beaches at Llanddona, Benllech and Moelfre. Or at the top of the island Church Bay, a steep path down and a restaurant famous for lobster.
DAYS OUT
For little ones try the Anglesey Sea Zoo and the Butterfly Farm are perfect.
South Stack Lighthouse and the nearby RSPB Tower are amazing. There is a charge to get into the lighthouse and it has many steps. Take the coast road around Trearddur Bay, a lovely drive and sandy coves to stop and enjoy an ice cream.
GARDENS
Plas Cadnant gardens near Menai are beautiful. Also Plas Newydd - the gardens are lovely and the cafe is listed as in the top 100 in England and Wales.
PLANE SPOTTING
Take a trip to RAF Valley to see the fighters that train at the base. Google 'RAF Valley-watching Us' for more information on what you can expect to see and when/where to go.
A good place to see the aircraft take off & land is Rhosneigr Beach - walk along this lovely beach (very popular in any season with wind surfers) over the dunes and you get a good view of the airstrip. On a busy day at the base you may well see RAF fighters (Tornadoes, Hawk, Typhoon) come and go almost one after the other.
FOOD AND DRINK
Waitrose in Menai is a must.
For restaurants and cafes near the cottage try Dylan's which has a fabulous reputation and the Pier House Bistro in Beaumaris.
Beaumaris boasts a number of fine eateries. Ye Olde Bulls Head has two restaurants, 'Loft' and 'Brasserie'. The Loft must be booked in advance whilst the Brasserie does not take bookings. The White Lion Restaurant serves locally caught seafood and traditional British fare. The Gazelle is literally on the sea shore below the cottage - a great walk down.
Slightly further afield, the award winning Ship Inn is set in the stunning location right on the shore of Red Wharf Bay near Benllech on the South East coast and serves local food which is recommended by the Michelin 'Eating out in Pubs' Guide.
The White Eagle in Rhoscolyn, said to be a 'royal' favourite, is a very nice pub with great views and just a short walk to the local beach. Booking is recommended in high season.
