    Infant Info: One travel cot and one highchair provided (travel cot linen not included)​

    Access/Parking: Ample enclosed parking for four cars

    Location: Breathtaking views over the Malltraeth Estuary

    Arrival Essentials: As this is a self-catering property, we include an Arrival Essentials pack to help you settle in on your first day, just enough to get you started. You'll need to bring, or purchase additional supplies for the rest of your stay.



    The Brackens commands breathtaking views over the Malltraeth Estuary. Huge windows in every room make the most of this coastal eco-friendly three-bedroom home. Featuring a rewilded garden that reaches down to the coastal footpath and estuary, perfect for nature lovers.



    The magnificent open-plan living area features a double-height, cathedral-style ceiling and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer sublime views of the estuary and mountains. The stylish interior is minimally but comfortably furnished, creating a perfect space to curl up on the sofa with your morning coffee and enjoy the natural light and lovely views. Two steps up from the living area, you'll find a dining table for six guests and a fully equipped kitchen with an island/breakfast bar. Tucked away to the side of the living space is a TV snug with a sliding door, ideal for cosy movie nights or a quiet space for kids to play while adults enjoy dinner. A mezzanine area above the living space doubles as a study and a quiet reading nook with views to the front and back of the house.



    The Brackens offers three ground-floor bedrooms, making it ideal for guests who have difficulty with stairs and for families with toddlers. The principal bedroom and the second bedroom both feature king-size beds, while the third bedroom has twin beds. There are two family bathrooms, one with a walk-in shower and the other with both a bath and a large walk-in shower. Both bathrooms are equipped with sinks, heated towel rails, and toilets. A separate guest toilet is located next to the utility area.



    The rewilded garden at The Brackens is a haven for wildlife. A lawned area at the side of the property includes a den area amongst the trees at the back of the house provides a space for imaginative adventures. A patio wraps around the entire house, offering space for dining or relaxing while listening to the sounds of nature and the waves. A little path winds through the garden. Please note, parents will need to supervise children in the garden due to the unfenced pond.

    There is ample enclosed parking for four cars.



    The Neighborhood:

    Malltraeth (said: MAHL-traith) is for nature lovers, walkers and cyclists, and another brilliant dog-friendly spot on the island. It's also a paradise for bird watchers, and its birdlife is popular enough to have landed on TV more than once.



    The Cob, a mile-long path along the old estuary wall, is home to Shelducks and once painted obsessively by wildlife artist Charles Tunnicliffe. Head to Llyn Parc Mawr for red squirrels or cycle the trails through neighbouring Newborough Forest. Ten minutes further gets you to Newborough beach, one of the longest, sandiest, most beautiful beaches in the UK.



    Refuel at the Red Squirrel Café, it does the best hot chocolate around, and return to the Joiners Arms in Malltraeth for real ales and a great atmosphere.



    Getting Around:

    This peaceful village is best accessed by car. On-site parking is provided. While there are occasional buses, we recommend a car to explore Newborough Forest and nearby beaches.



    Other Things to Note:

    An AHL Damage Waiver is included as standard with every booking. It’s there to protect the property and give you complete peace of mind, covering accidental damage up to £250, so that if something happens, it doesn’t cast a shadow over your stay.



    Towels & Bedding: Linens and bath towels provided (please bring your own beach towels)



    Did you know:

    We offer booking extras to make your stay even better. Our Extended Stay Refresh* brings fresh linens, new towels, made beds and a quick bathroom reset. *Available on selected properties within our portfolio.



    Don’t forget:

Fantastic Home from Home

Not only is the location prime with that unbelievable view but the house is warm, comfortable and has all amenities needed for a home from home stay. Enclosed garden so letting the dog and kids run around securely was brill. If you have any issues, let the Anglesey Lettings team know and they respond in minutes.

Fantastic Holiday Stay With Family

Booked over a new year period just before returning back to work with Family. Fantastic stay and property delivered above expectations in size and relaxation it offered. Family had a great time exploring local area and beach walks across the area. The area and views from the property are stunning. And have highly recommended the property to others. Also very impressed with Anglesey Holiday Lettings who we booked under and will be using them again. Thankyou again keep up the good work.

Beautiful views

Lovely well equipped property in a very quiet and peaceful setting. Views are stunning and the house is very comfortable. Sainsbury’s delivery worked well and kitchen is very well equipped for keen cooks. Appliances are of excellent quality but the oven could do with a professional clean. Down sides: we found that the blinds in the bedrooms didn’t block out morning light so we woke early every day. Not a problem in March but could be during the summer. Visit to Anglesey salt was interesting and we enjoyed meals at The Oyster Catcher in Rhosneigr.

Fabulous property

In a beautiful location if wanting to get away from it all with stunning views across the estuary. Even though quiet location, not to far to drive to Rhosneigr or Rhoscolyn and only 30 minutes from other areas with more going on

A beautiful contemporary house in a scenic spot. Close to lovely walks and beaches

The house was perfect for us. Much better than the photos. We loved the views, walks, sitting area, room heights a d open space, books and games, Only small critique - The smart tv advertised wasn’t smart

Stunning house with views to match

The house is well equipped, warm and spacious, but the main event is the view. We had pretty dreadful weather but could still have just sat and looked out of the window for a week. Anglesey is great - easy to get around, beautiful beaches and good walks. Anglesey Lettings very helpful

Beautiful property with beautiful views

Lovely peaceful place with fabulous views over the garden. Very well equipped and immaculately clean. Ann observation would be that it was on the chilly side in the living area with no instructions as to how to increase the heating! ( it was a November stay!). We will be back!!

The Brackens

This is a fabulous holiday house. Amazing setting and views. The house is very spacious and in the most part well equipped (only criticism could do with a few more glasses!). We loved the out door shower after a swim in the estuary. We will definitely book again! Anglesey holiday lettings communication was good and send really useful info about the property and Anglesey activities prior to our visit.

Stunning view

The view is outstanding and it was so nice to be able to walk to the bottom of the garden and onto the beach. The house is spacious and makes good use of the views. There were a couple of small issues such as the garden is definitely not secure for dogs, the bedding isn’t the most comfortable, poor water pressure in the shower. Overall it’s a lovely house to enjoy the changing view

Weeks stay in anglesey

Beautiful location, well presented house and well equipped kitchen. Garden was secure but the dogs were driven crazy by all the bunnies and small dogs would be able to escape the gates. Definitely considering another stay and miss the view of the estuary. We did find the temperature too high - we are from Buxton so used to around 17•C rather than 22•C heated homes

Great position, great house

Superb views of Snowdonia across river estuary teeming with bird life. The house is very well appointed and offers good views from the interior. Binoculars and telescope are not good. Garden is neglected…..could do with a decent lawn adjacent to the house.

Spot on !

Great property. Great location. Already planning our return visit. The only negative regarding the whole week was that food outlets in Angelsey seem to hibernate ( not surprising, I suppose ). Our trip in November saw us struggle to find decent food, or open outlets, and had us visiting Waitrose for supplies rather than eating out. That, of course, is an Angelsey thing not The Brackens, which was splendid.

Just perfect

We had a fantastic week at The Brackens, so relaxing just watching the constant changing view. House was lovely, clean, spacious with everything provided. The beds were a little uncomfortable hence the lower mark. Perfect location for walking and cycling hardly used the car which was great for my husband who drives a lot with work. Just to add too, the lady at Anglesey Lettings who helped with a query was so nice and friendly, thank you. Will most definitely be returning to this property. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Lovely house.

Lovely beautiful house, location on the estuary was amazing but just a shame every and shops/beach/restaurant was a drive away. House was clean and tidy but the rear garden was quite overgrown. Outdoor shower was lovely with a great view but the floor could do with a jet wash. Didn’t find the double beds particularly comfortable. I am being picky but those little things are what I remember. I would visit again for sure.

Relaxing stay

This property is absolutely stunning with amazing views from all aspects. It is very well appointed and comfortable with everything you might need including hundreds of beautiful books. Lots of lovely walks nearby and the wild garden is just amazing completely in keeping with the position and surroundings of the property. Only small issue, whilst I understand the environmentally friendly ethos of the property really need to be able to turn the heating up, 15 deg recorded in the Largs living space is not warm enough considering the price of the property. Not sure how this will be in winter.However would absolutely recommend this property from all other aspects.

An amazing location and view

We stayed at the Brackens for 4 nights in early November. When we arrived we were really impressed by the overall external look of the property. The house itself is really impressive, nice and airy with enough seats in each of the rooms for everyone to have their own space. The windows at the rear of the property give spectacular and ever changing views. At the bottom of the garden there is direct access to the Coastal Path and it is only a short drive to a number of beaches or towns. We visited Menai Bridge, Beaumaris, Rhosneigr and Newborough during our stay all of which were wishing easy reach by car. We have stayed in a number of properties on Anglesey and this is one of the best. My only suggestion if you visit at cooler times of year, is to make sure you pack big jumpers/thick socks because the house does get cold and the temperature cannot be adjusted, so it does get chilly. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others who want a peaceful and relaxing stay with a beautiful view out of every window!

holiday on millionaire's row

An opportunity to occupy something out of Grand Design, albeit with an overgrown example of rewilding. The access to the estuary was rather disappointing due to the overgrown nature of the garden path and the weed covered estuary shoreline. The property was certainly clean and well equipped, although the welcome pack could have hardly been less exciting. Compared with overseas properties the pack lacked imagination as well as quantity. If visitors do not appreciate rabbits digging up the garden , then this is not the property for them. The photographs in the brochure may have applied to the property some years ago, but they are certainly not current.

Review of the Brackens

Fabulous location. Great views and access to a beach to watch the birds. Would highly recommend. Loved the wildlife garden. As the temperature was over 30 degrees when we were there the glass fronted building was a bit hot although it was possible to open up the glass front onto the terrace and one fan was provided. Could do with air con but a bit much to ask of a property in this country, perhaps blinds on the window in the main seating area. Maybe an additional fan would be good too. Could do with a few more mugs, cups, bowls etc but that’s a minor point. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay despite the heat.
