We keep coming back! The addition of the Pergola/Decking was just what it needed. Many a glass of wine drunk sat in the in the sunshine, with the amazing views. We'll definitely be back. The cottage is so convenient for travel to our favourite places, Newborough Forest, Aberffraw & Rhosneigr to name but a few.

This was our second stay at Blochdy and we were again extremely pleased. We had a warm welcome from Eira and some lovely welcome gifts (including for our dog). Blochdy is full of character and really well provisioned with everything you need. It was cozy and warm with a log fire on the go when we arrived! The location is great for exploring AngleseRead morey and North Wales and has great views of the mountains from the large garden. Blochdy is dog friendly and our Greyhound enjoyed the space to run in the garden (and watch the rabbits). We had another great stay at Blochdy and would definitely return again. Hide

We loved our Christmas at Blochdy. Fabulous cottage in a lovely quiet location with great views.

The location is ideal, offering beautiful views and easy access to much of North Wales, with the added bonus of being very quiet and peaceful. While the description mentions that the owners property is next door, the photos do not make it clear that the two properties share a party wall. The owners house overlooks the front and back gardens as wellRead more as the drivewayalthough she has made efforts to limit her view (e.g., keeping curtains closed). The games room is separate from the main house, which means that anyone using it cannot socialise with others inside the main house. Some aspects of the property were not up to the standard we usually expect, but we have shared this feedback with the owner and hope these will be addressed to provide better value in the future. Finally, the twin beds are slightly undersized, which may be an issue for taller guests, and the loft bedroom is not suitable for children due to the large gaps between the railings. Hide

We really enjoyed our time at Blochdy. Eira, the owner, lives in the adjacent property and is very welcoming and helpful. She keeps out of the way but is readily available if you have questions. We received a very generous welcome pack with wine, biscuits etc and the cottage is very well equipped. In fact it is the best equipped self catering acRead morecommodation I have ever been in. You could live there permanently. We cooked and baked a variety of items. There is a Tassimo coffee machine, toaster, fridge , oven and separate freezer. There are two bedrooms, one double and the other twin and there is also a floating loft above the kitchen with a single bed. There is a washing machine in the games room. The garden is large and dog proof and has wonderful views over the Menai Straits. Dogs can't stay unaccompanied in the property due to previous damage but we didn't need this for our elderly dog in the end. She enjoyed her welcome pack of dog treats. The location is good. 8 miles from the Tesco Extra, about 5 miles from a great beach walk and 3 miles from a lovely National Trust property at Plas Newyd. Roads on Anglesey are very good and we were able to explore all sides of the Island easily over the week. We really enjoyed our comfortable stay. Eira was lovely and welcoming and the location and wider area are stunning. I would recommend without reservation. Hide

A lovely quirky cottage. Very clean, well equipped & very comfortable. The welcome pack was unexpected, but much appreciated. Eira made us feel very welcome. The cottage is in a perfect location - only a short car ride to Newborough Forest/Beach,which is a must, especially if you have a dog, or children. There is a view of Snowdon/Caernarfon CastleRead more in the distance. A large secure garden which Luna (our Boxer) was most impressed with. The village pub is closed Mon to Weds, but pulls a lovely pint of Guinness. We will definitely be coming back to Blochdy! Hide

There is upcycling materials for a greener enviroment,and using old clutter in the name of upcycling this property falls into the latter category. A general declutter would vastly improve things and add to what could be a charming property. The owner cannot be faulted for her warm welcome and generous goodies on arrival.
