Ty Cadwgan

A cosy hideaway for four surrounded by trees and wildflowers. Stroll to Aberffraw beach and pub, or just explore the coast along the way. The space Reached down a lush lane from the main road, this cottage has been rescued from ruin. Right by St Cadwaladr's Church in Llangadwaladr, this place is very special. The location of the current church was established in the 7th century by the Kings of Gwynedd, after whom the church is named, King Cadwaladr. During the heyday of Welsh rule, Aberffraw took on great symbolic significance, so much so that Llywelyn the Last’s grandfather, Llywelyn the Great, styled himself as ‘Prince of Aberffraw and Lord of Snowdon’ Ty Cadwgan (Cadwgan-a Welsh name meaning battle glory) is all calm. A bright, spacious living room with a big velvet sofa at one end, a dining room in the middle and a well-thought-out kitchen at the other – everything a serious cook could need is here. Garden views and green surround you. Glazed sliding doors frame the views and a wood-burner will keep you toasty on days when the weather is wild outside. Bedroom colours are restful – there’s a king room in pastel pinks and a bunk room for the adventure seekers. There is one bathroom, but it is perfect formed. It’s tempting to stay put but there’s plenty to do. It’s paradise here for outdoor lovers: walking and cycling routes leave from your door. Through sand dunes a thrilling 20-minute walk takes you to Aberffraw for Llys Llewellyn Café bar and breakfast and Y Goron (The Crown) pub for supper – both are excellent for locally sourced supplies and food. Aberffraw beach is a long sandy dream of a day out. Or head a five minute drive to Rhosneigr for a thriving water sports centre with many pubs and places to eat. The Sandy Mount House and Mojos and are favourites. Janet Bell has a gallery to gaze at locally created art and interior delights, or Seapig offers bespoke jewellery from sea glass from beaches locally to planet-friendly artisan items. Wind surfing, paddleboarding surfing or just a swim and a beach comb is easy on the sandy beaches at this beachy village. Back at the ranch, the garden is uncultivated and vast, with wildflowers and bushes full of birdsong. This is a beautiful nature-filled space for lovers and dreamers. So utterly peaceful and remote this is where to hide from the madding crowd.
