This property, once the summer home of renowned author Nicholas Monsarrat, boasts breathtaking sea views and is ideally situated near the Anglesey Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The cottage features seven bedrooms, including two master suites with en suite bathrooms, two twin bedrooms, and three additional rooms tucked in the eaves, providing ample space for families and friends to unwind and create lasting memories.
The interior of Hafod is designed for relaxation and socialization, with a spacious sitting room that invites guests to lose themselves in the panoramic views while enjoying a glass of wine. The adjoining conservatory enhances the experience with even more stunning vistas, while the kitchen, equipped with a large dining table, ensures that mealtime is a communal affair. The property is also pet-friendly, welcoming dogs to join in the fun, especially with a cozy open fire waiting for them to curl up beside after a day of outdoor adventures.
Hafod's prime location allows guests to easily explore the nearby beaches, where they can enjoy activities such as rock pooling, building sandcastles, and picnicking.

This convenience adds to the charm of the cottage, making it a perfect retreat for those seeking both relaxation and adventure.
Rich in history, Hafod is not only a beautiful holiday home but also a significant location in Monsarrat's literary journey, as it inspired elements of his famous work, "The Cruel Sea." The author fondly reminisced about the views from Hafod in his book "My Brother Denys," highlighting the enchanting scenery that surrounds this special place. With local landmarks like South Stack Lighthouse and attractions such as the Holyhead Maritime Museum nearby, guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region while enjoying a memorable stay at Hafod.
