We loved it here. We glamp a lot, and this was one of our favourites and thinking about coming back. The views are beautiful and listen to the birds and animals around was peaceful. You can meet and greet the Alpacas and have a massage also and spend all day in the hot tub watching the sun set.

A very well-designed holiday home with thoughtful touches and excellent views. It was a very peaceful and relaxing place to be with the added surreal bonus of a hot tub. A convenient location for visiting the whole of Anglesey including various beaches and castles.

We had such a wonderful stay at Island Hide. The location was perfect for exploring Anglesey, ziplining, and hiking Yr Wyddfa. Steve and Jo were an absolute delight and made us feel so welcome. We were so grateful for their generosity and the massage treatments! The outdoor kitchen was fantastic, the shepherds hut comfortable and cosy, and the hot Read moretub was a restorative treat. We would definitely stay again for a longer period to allow more time for both relaxation and to see more of Anglesey! Hide

Had a lovely stay, the only real issues were that it felt it needed a really good clean and there were no plug sockets available apart from away from the hut which wasnt very clear anywhere when booking. Otherwise it was very private even though it is on the property and in a beautiful location. We would stay again

My 2nd visit within 8 months, & I love Island Hide as much, if not more, than the 1st time. I love everything about the hut: the comfort & cosiness of the hut, yet the ability to be outside watching the sunset, on the veranda if the weather is a bit wet, & to be cooking outside (even in a storm this time!). Just my idea of perfection. The Hut's weeRead more log fire was incredible & not only heated nicely, it gave the hut that 'hygge' feel. The dog loved her stay too. I'll be back again, and again...

Enjoy the rustic nature of an outdoor kitchen, with the modern convenience of a proper shower and toilet.
