Just think you can look forward to getting up bright and early on a fine clear morning, wander into the garden, and sitting at the patio table with your muesli, yogurt, fruit and coffee, watch the sunrise over the magnificent Snowdon mountains.

What great inspiration at the start of the day!

Staying in a traditional Anglesey cottage means you could cycle along quiet country lanes before breakfast, appreciating colourful wild flowers rioting down stone walls and the aroma of prolific wild garlic and herbal plants.

A number of Anglesey cottages are clustered around the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), a designated zone which runs along most of the island coast.

If you love sea views then a cottage here is a good idea and you can also indulge in a range of water sports such as surfing, sailing and kayaking.

There are also some superb 18-hole golf courses nearby many holiday cottages.

A new designated 125-mile long coastal path covers virtually the whole island coastline, so it’s a great place for keen walkers, so make sure you pack your walking shoes.

Just imagine those fine summer evenings as the sun sets, and if your holiday cottage is in south west Anglesey, you could have a fantastic view of the Wicklow mountains in Ireland, silhouetted against a deep tangerine sky.

What a perfect way to end your day of activity on the island as you put your feet up in the garden with wine glass in hand, watching the sun disappear over the horizon.

The island roads are generally of a very high standard with a major dual carriageway (A55) across the island from the Britannia Bridge.

You can get to Cardiff via an air link from Anglesey Airport at RAF Valley, while a fast ferry runs to Dublin from Holyhead.

So you could be walking across remote coastal paths on an Anglesey holiday winter break or here to enjoy sandy beaches in the summer sunshine, either way choosing one of the quality Anglesey cottages is a great way to enjoy this pleasant, green island.
