Y STABL (Rhoscolyn, Anglesey) | Cottage Accommodation Details

back of Y stabl Y Stabl is a fully-furnished self-catering holiday cottage on two floors at the end of the three terraced Ty Lon Cottages.

The original stone building was used to house animals for the Ty Lon farm, and is believed to be several hundred years old. The Ty Lon Cottages were purpose converted in 1991, and we acquired the cottage in January 2007 to use for our own vacations, and to let out for the remainder of the year. Since then, we have made a number of improvements and renovations to the house.

The cottage has Visit Wales 3-star grading since April 2008. The cottage is fully furnished and has two double bedrooms, one twin room and one single room- comfortably sleeping up to seven adults.

Children of all ages are very welcome, and we have a portacot/ highchair/ booster seat available for young children (please let us know in advance if these are required).

front of Y Stabl The cottage has two designated car parking spaces, plus the use of additional communal parking, and guests have use of the stone outhouse (old stable) in front of the cottage.

We have also put together a printable Visitor Information Booklet which includes full directions and Disability Access Statement, and a description of the features of the cottage and some of the facilities and attractions the local area has on offer.

We hope you enjoy your stay!
