Tan Y Coed, Menai Bridge

Snowdonia. Sleeps up to 13

Words cannot describe how amazing this holiday house is! Standing above the Menai Strait, on Anglesey, half way between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris, it has stunning views with the dramatic backdrop of Snowdonia and its ever changing scenery. At night time the twinkling lights of boats sitting on their moorings, floodlit Penrhyn castle and the moonlight on the mountains and sea is magical. The large welcoming hall and splendid staircase make a fitting entrance to this magnificent house. The drawing room is just waiting to be filled with a gathering of family and friends. Throw open the French windows and enjoy a drink on the terrace before dinner. The views are stunning. Or relax in front of the log burning stove in the winter months. Comfy chairs and sofas, a card table and a special scrabble table completes the picture. The billiard room doubles as a dining room. If you put the top on the billiard table and gather the chairs together you have a formal dining room. The sitting room is ideal for children. It has a TV with DVD, toy cupboard, crayoning table and plenty of books. French windows open on to the terrace. The gorgeous kitchen has a large farmhouse table and chairs to seat everyone. It is well equipped for cooking for large numbers with a Rangemaster cooker with two ovens and a six ring gas hob with griddle, magimix, hand blender, electric whisk, toasted sandwich maker and plenty of sensible sized saucepans and serving dishes. There is a pantry with slate tops housing a fridge / freezer and microwave. The utility room has a washing machine, tumble drier, drinks fridge and door to the garden. There are two downstairs cloakrooms. One with a loo and the other with a loo, wash hand basin and shower together with a collection of good life jackets - perfect for days out crabbing. There is also a dressing up chest and a collection of children's toys. Upstairs there are six bedrooms and three bathrooms. The master bedroom is just fabulous. It is an enormous bedroom with a super king bed and amazing views, en-suite bathroom with loo, wash hand basin and bath with hand-held shower. Three further bedrooms all have wash basins. One has twin beds and two have double beds. There are two other rooms. One with a double bed and one family room with three single beds. There are two bathrooms; one with bath and shower, the other a walk-in power shower and underfloor heating. Outside the terrace runs the length of the house with garden furniture, table tennis and a barbecue. There are steps down to the large landing stage and waters edge at high tide. We advise that children should not go unaccompanied or without lifejackets. Please note there is a flat above Tan y Coed, which is permanently occupied. They have their own entrance and have no access to the garden or beach. Tan y Coed is a glorious holiday house with a shabby chic charm and staggering sea views from every window. This is just the house to enjoy gathering with friends and family to celebrate a special occasion. The house has been in the same family for forty years and is comfortably furnished with children and family holidays in mind. Please note that dogs must be kept downstairs during your stay.
