Duck House

The Duck and Dog House are a pair of beautiful, idyllic one bedroom country retreats, with all the comfort and cosiness you could wish for whilst on holiday on Anglesey. We have also got a log cabin called The Peacock Cabin that can be found under another listing.

Whatever the weather you will enjoy the comfort offered in either of these properties, and the fun and excitement of the surrounding area. The sitting rooms with their log burning stoves provide the setting for relaxing after a day out exploring the natural beauty of the Isle of Anglesey and the surrounding National Park.

We have sensitively renovated the properties over the last 4 years and have done much of the work ourselves taking into account every minute detail. Our hope is that we have created relaxing and calm spaces that enable you to fully unwind and enjoy time spent in this beautiful part of the world. The natural beauty of the area speaks for itself and if you enjoy the outdoors and love natural history this is definitely the place to visit - you will not be disappointed.

Both the Dog House and the Duck House have a sleeping capacity of 2 +2 people each, however we have an adjoining door (sensitively hidden between them and locked if each cottage is rented separately) that allows access to the adjoining cottage if required. This enables two families/couples or group of friends to enjoy both spaces together, or a larger family to be able to rent the complete space. The additional sleeping for 2 people in each of the cottages is a sofa bed so you would need to be organised and know each other well!

When we eventually found the property (directions would have been helpful as Google maps couldn’t find it) we were given a warm welcome by Ben. The property is just as described and beautifully furnished and decorative

The duck house was such a relaxing place to stay after a long journey. So well equipped and spotlessly clean. Katie and Ben couldn’t have been nicer hosts and Penny our dog was made more than welcome.

Amazing, luxury cottage
We stayed at the dog house for 2 nights for my partner's surprise 30th birthday trip. Katie couldn't have been more hospitable and helpful. She answered queries quickly, made the cottage so welcoming and even did a full balloon and banner display unique for my partner! The cottage had a real woodturning fire with limitless wood, complimentary wine, chocolates and eggs from the hens on site! Great value for money and such a lovely experience. Cannot recommend this place enough and honestly the countryside, beaches and little towns are great to explore and enjoy. Will definitely return!

Incredible Stay!!
Beautiful from start to finish, cosy, clean and stylish accommodation from the comfiest bed to the most amazing shower! Incredible location....we absolutely loved seeing the horses, sheep and cows and free range chickens and peacocks right outside our living area, we were also welcomed on one morning by sheep happily grazing in the garden. Highly recommended, wonderful hosts that can't do enough for you! Book your mini break/trip here, you definitely won't be dissapointed!

Wonderful stay
Thanks Ben. We loved our stay. The location is amazing. The views from the cottage and visits from Ruby and all the other animals made it perfect to just laze around. The beaches and walks nearby were also very stunning. Llanwyn island was both beautiful and interesting (we had great weather that day) We both thought you made our stay even more relaxing and fun. You were so generous with your time, advice and a couple of extra things you provided (over and above what you needed to😀). BBQ was an added bonus that we hadn't expected to be there. Great shower, everything you needed in a well kitted out cottage. Fabulous. Hope to come again. Michelle and Adrian.

Cosy & quiet cottage
We arrived in the dark & made the mistake of following satnav! By far the easiest way to get here is via Malltraeth, we worked that out the next day in the light when we got our bearings. The cottage was larger than expected there is a large outdoor space with picnic tables & benches, which must be beautiful in the summer as it’s a real ‘dark sky’ place. Spotlessly clean with an amazing shower room, well equipped with everything you need for a relaxing break. Can’t fault it & hope to go back when there are no storms forecast (Dennis !). Would also be nice to go with another couple as there’s an adjoining cottage called the Duck House. Plenty to do if you want to, canoeing on the river etc., or kick back & relax in front of the log burner with tea & cake 😋

Wonderful Cottage, best shower EVER.
What a wonderful little escape this cottage was, having everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing weekend. Very clean, welcoming and warm with an excellent log burner. The bed is comfortable and the shower, Oh My God, was amazing. I'd go again just for the shower. Make sure you take detailed directions from the website before you set off, it's not easy to find in the dark. Ben and Katie were super friendly and helpful, and the fresh eggs are off the chart good. Thank you for a great stay, we sincerely hope to return!

Picturesque country cottage
We had a gorgeous stay in the Dog House. So sorry it was so short and wish we could have stayed longer. Very friendly hosts and animals. The dog house was so clean and everything. Bottle of wine, fresh farm eggs and lovely flowers were lovely. I wish we didn’t live in Australia because I’d love to come back again and again

Too Short
Lovely couple of days staying at Dog House, though far too short. Great location and very cozy inside with fab shower and comfy bed. The Happy Eggs were also delicious, thank you. Albie the black lab enjoyed the walk along the river straight from the front door for his early morning strolls. Highly recommended and look forward to visiting again but for a longer break next time!

The Dog House is bigger than it appears on the photos , and it is beautifully decorated. We loved the peace and quiet and the daily visits from chickens and Ruby the dog. An ideal base for visiting Anglesey and Snowdonia ; a cosy sanctuary to return to .

A great place to stay if you want to explore Anglesey!
A lovely little house away from the busy centres, yet accessible to the most interesting parts of the island - south, southwest and southeast! Everything you would want and a great welcome with a few home comforts thrown in! Friendly visitor each morning as Ruby came to enjoy breakfast! But you don’t have to let her in!
