Ty Arwen, Dulas

Ty Arwen is a modern, spacious lodge in Anglesey with knockout views of both countryside and sea. This four-bedroom retreat sits just a 10-minute walk from Lligwy Beach - perfect for families with dogs since the beach welcomes pups year-round. The property features a clever design that separates living and sleeping areas, making it ideal for groups who want togetherness without stepping on each other's toes.

The location is bloody brilliant. You're surrounded by peaceful Welsh countryside but close to everything that matters. Fancy a beach day? Take your pick - there are three beaches within a 15-minute walk. Need supplies? Benllech is just 3 miles away with shops and that essential post-walk pint. The coastal paths offer stunning walks where you might need to catch your breath (and not just from the hill back to the house).

Accommodation includes a master double with en-suite shower, a twin room upstairs, plus a ground-floor double and a twin that converts to a double if needed. There are three bathrooms total, so no awkward morning queues. The open-plan living area has fold-back doors that open onto the patio - perfect for summer drinks while enjoying those views. And yes, there's a hot tub in the summer house, along with a games room that'll keep everyone entertained when you're not soaking.

Explore Benllech (4.9 miles) with its great beach and shops, visit historic Beaumaris (13.9 miles) with its castle, or check out Capel Parc just 1.7 miles away. After beach adventures, use the outdoor hose to wash sandy dogs (and kids) before relaxing in the hot tub with a glass of something cold.

Ty Arwen gives you that rare combo of space, location and facilities. Eight people, three bathrooms, hot tub, games room and beaches on your doorstep - what more could you want? Book it before someone else does.
