Great place, suited us just fine, very kind neighbours…just one thing doors!
Two great grandparents, two great grandsons. Very spacious open-plan bungalow. Nice garden more than adequate for summer fun. We all immediately felt at home. Two bathrooms, comfortable beds and bedding. No trying to understand/or controlled heating system (as so often happens in holiday lets), just turn the switch. Thankyou for the welcome pack, nice treats. Ample off street parking. Well equipped kitchen. Beaches, shops, eats and drinks all a short walk. Jets and Red Arrows training, Faraway suited us and the boys just fine. We stayed four nights during October half -term using Rhosneiger as a base. The local beaches and facilities are good. And as we’ve visited Anglesey before had already formulated an itinerary to keep the boys busy. Sand sledging on the dunes at Aberffraw, they made friends with a couple of local children with their mum and we meandered to the beach and sea. She invited them to meet up later on Rhosneiger beach and she’d bring dinghy, life jackets, kites etc. They had a great time as we watched them and a lovely sunset. As the light faded they finally acknowledged they were blue with cold we bade our farewells happy with the serendipity nature of chance meetings and making friends. Back to Faraway for warmth and hot chocolate (from the welcome pack).
Our youngest great grandson had come prepared for Halloween and we carved pumpkins. Walking back from the shop in the afternoon we met a lovely lady (Arwen) in the neighbouring street, and she welcomed him to call on her Trick or Treating that night, telling us “they go mad for it here.” So at dusk Dracula and I set off. And Anwen was not wrong! The streets were filled with folk in fancy dress, houses lit up, pumpkins aglow. Arwen’s sister also kindly invited him to call on her and her mother across the road. We were welcomed by others too. On return to Faraway we then had lots of excited groups of youngsters knocking at our door. The best was a quartet of girls in Wizard of Oz themed costumes.. So if you go at Halloween - go prepared and join in the fun.
Next day beach-combing at Newborough, exploring LLandywyn island and finally a last day Rib Ride treat before heading home.
This is my first time using Anglesey Lettings, and compliments to them. They’re a very easy company to deal with, excellent timely communications and guides. The discounts are a bonus too.
The ‘just one thing’ about Faraway is…….three doors have been removed between living room/dining room/kitchen, and between dining room/conservatory. Totally unnecessary and serves no purpose. I suspect in winter, unable to close off rooms it could be chilly as the space is so big. My main concern though is Fire Risk. Experience shows no one expects a fire, but they occur. My sister’s was a fridge fire set their kitchen ablaze as they all slept upstairs. Through her experience whenever we stay away from home I check for fire hazards, escape routes, doors, keys etc. Faraway has an open fire in the living room and candles are around, there is just one door (which is not a fire door) separating the whole of the living area from the bedrooms. I know there are the required working fire sensors and fire precautions in the bungalow. But it makes sense to me to minimise the Fire Risk and maximise the potential escape routes especially for infirm/disabled people - simple just put the three doors back on!
