We have just stayed at Gwendon for the week. The house is beautiful! It was very relaxing, and there was everything you needed for a real home from home environment. The garden is wonderful and spacious - especially for our 3 dogs. Ged & Neil are really the perfect hosts. They are friendly and approachable at all times. They went to great lengths, prior to our stay, to ensure we had all the information we needed through their digital guide app, which was great! Ged also phoned prior to our stay to talk us through anything that we needed to know, which was reassuring and encouraging. Gwendon is a great place to stay - only 15 mins away from Lligwy Beach. Ideal for our furry companions. All in all, I couldn't recommend this property highly enough and we will certainly be back for another visit!

Absolutely stunning bungalow in a lovely place. Ged and Neil have thought of everything, it truly is home from home. They knew we were celebrating my mums 60th and they bought her flowers and a balloon. Can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely fantastic stay at Gwendon. From the intitial booking right through to departure Ged kept in contact to ensure our stay was to our expectations and it certainly was. Beautiful home and decor, great nights sleep in very comfortable beds. Super kitchen with everything you need and more. Quiet location with friendly neighbours and the garden is doggy heaven. A lovely holiday only downside is we didn’t want to leave and could easily have stayed another week! Thanks to Ged & Neil for our fabulous holiday, enjoyed by all.

If you are looking to stay on Anglesey with your pet(s) then look no further, Gwendon in Amlwch is absolutely fantastic. Congratulations to Ged and Neil in setting a very high bar for other holiday rentals. The decor was of the highest quality and very tastefully done and matched the photos when booking which isn't always the case. The kitchen was extremely well kitted out and the spice rack and excellent knives were very well appreciated. Outside the garden was a lovely large space which is very well maintained and 100% secure which Charlie our Cockapoo loved exploring. Location wise Gwendon is perfect with the coastal path minutes away and other landmarks on the island within a 30 minute drive away. Ged and Neil are perfect hosts and kept in regular contact during our stay which showed their commitment to ensuring we had the best time possible. Congratulations on an exceptional home and thanks for allowing us to share it. We hope to see you again soon.

We've just arrived back home in Bolton after an amazing week at Gwendon, and our dog Ella is sulking. She misses the sights and smells in the large rear garden, she misses chatting to the neighbours through the fence, she misses cooling down on the large comfy sofa, and most of all she misses stepping outside and exploring the beautiful north Anglesey coast. Ella isn't the only one having to adjust to 'normal' life again, me and Sharon also had the most amazing time and was a much needed break from work and the usual daily routine. It's hard to think of a better place to relax and simply enjoy the house and surrounding area. This was our first holiday in 4 years, and the first time taking Ella away since we adopted her a year ago, and we're all relieved that the location, accommodation and weather made the trip one to remember! Thanks Ged and Neil for the lovely house and facilities, we hope to be visiting again in the future. Tony, Shaz & Ella

We had a wonderful week staying at Gwendon, it's a beautiful home, well equipped with a lovely view of the sea. We'd never visited Anglesey before so the guide book was exceptionally helpful. We were blessed with wall-to-wall sunshine during our stay so saw the Island at it's absolute best. After every trip out, we were so pleased to be able to return to Gwendon, a true home from home in our case. Many thanks Ged and Neil.

What a beautiful bungalow. Furnished and decorated to a fantastic standard. It has everything you need for the perfect holiday. The sea view and gardens are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble for Ged and Neil. Definitely the personal touch that makes the holiday experience extra special. Keep up the good work guys ❤️

We loved our stay at Gwendon, it’s a beautifully styled holiday home that suited our mixed aged group perfectly. Our toddler and two Manchester Terriers adored the big safe fully fenced garden, and I‘m sure anyone with small children or pets would be similarly impressed. The house is quietly located and superbly equipped with thoughtful touches including family games, a kitchen full of good quality equipment, human and canine first aid kits and throws, bowls and useful ‘Visiting Pet Tags’ for the doggos. It was a perfect base to explore the island or just spend a lazy day relaxing. Gwendon is walking distance from pubs and shops, a children’s play area and the coastal path. The owners Ged and Neil were attentive, professional and available, providing personal contact numbers and discreetly touching base during our stay to ensure things were to our satisfaction. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Gwendon. We will definitely rebook.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gwendon. The bungalow is well equipped, light and modern. The beds are very comfortable and it is so quiet at night. The garden spacious and secure for our dogs who loved the freedom. The lighting in the garden is very pretty. The variety of birds a joy to watch and listen to whilst relaxing on the patio with a drink. Beaches I would recommend are Newborough beach & forest, Trearddur, Rhosneigr, Lligwy, Benllech . We visited Pentraeth forest for a change and although mostly forest tracks it was a lovely 10k linear walk to the beach. We ate at The Oyster Catcher at Rhosneigr, the food was excellent, good atmosphere and staff very friendly. The Boathouse at Red Wharf Bay was busy – good food and service. The Tavern on the Bay was fabulous for views and a drink. The Adelphie Vaults in Almwch was very friendly, great beer and warm welcome, can highly recommend the pie and mash. Cefni Reservoir was a good 7k walk and a visit to Nant Llefrith Dairy at Caemes to choose your own milk shake is great fun. We shall be returning soon! Lee, Juanita and Bella & Beau May 2023

Excellent holiday stay at Gwendon. Very luxurious pet friendly property which has everything you need for your holiday and more! Fantastic location and owners Ged and Neil can't do enough for you. We were celebrating a double birthday and arrived to a lovely bouquet of flowers from the owners which was a lovely surprise. It's hard to book a decent, pet friendly property but Gwendon caters for both humans and your fur babies without compromising. Fantastic garden for your dog's to run round in or you to relax in with a nice glass of wine. The beds are so comfortable too it's like sleeping in a hotel! We will definitely be back to stay soon.

We had a fabulous weekend at Gwendon. The house looks wonderful in the photos and is even better in reality. It was a great place to base ourselves for exploring the island with comfy beds and a great shower. The living area has wonderful views over the sea. Such a gorgeous view to wake up to! Thank you Ged for a wonderful weekend.

We had a great weekend break at Gwendon, it is a lovely homley place with good facilities and a really nice garden. Ged is really helpful, with lots of useful information. Untill the next time.

Had a lovely stay at Gwendon (22-26 Feb ‘23). The sun shone all day and the stars sparkled at night in the clear Anglesey skies which was quite spectacular. The bungalow is extremely well appointed, and has all you would need for your break. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need for self catering - a real home from home! We visited some beautiful beaches with the dogs, my favourites being Red Wharf Bay, Rhosneigr and Sandy Beach (next to Penrhyn Bay). Ged and Neil are great hosts and were keen to ensure we had all we needed for our stay (which we did!). The EV charger was also great and easy to use. Hopefully will be back again at some point, as this was a lovely spot to be located.

Had a lovely mid week break at Gwendon. Property is so well equipped, everything you need for a home from home. Owners have everything covered with the app, not only giving you advice about the property but also things and places on the isle of Anglesey. Being dog owners they have totally got all bases covered for the dogs, from a great garden for your pet to mooch in, to shampoos and towels if they get dirty whilst on their adventures. Highly recommended ?

We've just spent a lovely week at Gwendon with our two pups. It was like home from home. Definitely the best holiday home we have ever stayed in. The house has absolutely everything you need. The garden is massive and beautiful. The dogs loved it. You could actually see the sea from the front room and you definitely feel relaxed and rejuvenated after a week at Gwendon. The village is near with a Co-op that has everything you need. A great fish and chip shop and kebab place. A couple of pubs where everyone you meet is friendly and welcoming. It was great to have the app to keep referring too as it gives you lots of information about the house and the area. Both Ged and Neil have made the perfect hosts. We've never been to Anglesey before but Ged told me lots of beaches and places to go to whilst we were there. She's always on the other side of the phone if you need her. We will definitely be returning! Thank you for the perfect break ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely holiday cottage on the fab island of Anglesey. We are regular cottage users and pleased to say Gwendon had everything you will need which isn’t always the case in our experience. The cottage had everything you would expect including WiFi that worked and central heating you could control and a smart TV with all the apps you would need. Though we didn’t have a dog with us it’s well set up for your fur friends. Everything was sent to you ahead of time with really great communication from the owners and all delivered in a handy app on your phone. Local Coop was close buy and a great fish and chip shop. The coastal walk was easy to get to. All in all a great cottage with everything you would need.

Gwendon, Amlwch, Anglesey Stunning views and luxury furniture and fittings with a true homely feel and lovely natural flow. Presented to a very high standard and the owners are always striving to make sure it can be better. A small bijou kitchen that has everything, large fridge freezer, dishwasher, oven and hob, cupboard space, adjoining a dinning area with a ever changing view and door leading to a conserversary with a couple of chairs, which we found perfect for coffee if the weather was wet or a bit chilly first thing, also with a sea view! Huge comfy beds with gorgeous soft bed linen and accessories to compliment the house theme. Pet friendly with bowls provided and their own doggy basket and covers for the chairs, perfect garden for exploring without being able to escape! There are a couple of lights which come on automatically within the lounge area and lights all round the outside, if you remember you left the towels out to dry, need to grab a herb or two from the garden or you just want to see the wonderful sky full of stars on a clear night or listen to the sea. The bathroom has a new sink, toilet and vanity unit installed and the shower upgrade is next on the list. Great base to explore Anglesey or just to relax in the local area.

Beautiful home with a large garden with views over the bay. Great base to visit and explore the Island. The hosts went over and above to be helpful and the online guestbook was extremely useful!! The house has everything you could possibly need. Highly recommend Gwendon ❤️
