There's something very comforting and reassuring sitting by the flickering flames of a log burner watching the nature do its worst outside. Our third visit to Morwennol coincided with some of the worst weather of the winter. The house is warm and snug once you master the heating controls and there is the added bonus of the two log burners and we were glad to have brought a supply of logs, not particularly because the house needed the extra heating but because it added to the cosy family feel for our multi generational family half term holiday.
The house is spacious enough for all family members to have their own space when they wish and the large dining area and lounge enhance the communal family friendly feel.
The downstairs bedroom and en suite is a big plus both for privacy and convenience.
In the main everything in the house is top notch but there are areas that could do with freshening up. The main problem we had is with the mattress in the rear upstairs bedroom which has clearly seen better days and was not the best even when we first stayed at Morwennol several years ago.
Another disappointment was dining at the Oyster Catcher, which was a favourite haunt of ours but we had reservations about it last year and this time was very poor value. However I can report that Scarlett's Chippy is still excellent both in terms of quality and value, it's always busy with large orders so you can place your order and pop over the road to the Sandy Mount for a drink while you're waiting.
The weather was so bad that the usual 8.00am wake up call of the first flights of the day from RAF Valley never bothered us, there was negligible flying during the week, much to the disappointment of some family members.
While it was hardly the type of holiday you can have in Rhosneigr during the summer it was still very enjoyable and we would return to this house again.
As always the service from Rhosneigr Holidays was excellent, even to the extent of coming out to replace a light bulb in a gale, that's good customer service.
If you don't know the area I would recommend it. I first came here on holiday over 60 years ago and although I've travelled a fair bit since then I never tire of revisiting this area with it's bays and beaches within reach of the mountains and wonderful seascapes and sunsets.
