Deri Fawr
About us
Deri Fawr offers a cosy retreat and is ideally situated for nature lovers looking to explore Anglesey and the beautiful coastline.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, our cottages have been skilfully converted from a cluster of 18th-century farm buildings, to offer attractive and comfortable accommodation. Visitors enjoy shared use of 3 acres of gardens and grounds, complete with stunning flower beds, fruit trees and a vegetable plot. The paddock is surrounded by a big old hedgerow and is planted with native trees. At the bottom of the paddock, a stream runs through our pond, perfect for watching the resident ducks and moorhens from the perfectly positioned summerhouse. There is little noise apart from wild birds. Rabbits and hedgehogs come and go in the grounds too making Deri Fawr a nature lovers delight!
In Autumn 2019 Helen and Rick took over Deri Fawr. We appreciate all the hard work and dedication that Paul and Mavis devoted to Deri Fawr over all the years. Our aim is to continue to offer a place of peace and quiet that our guests (and the wildlife) can relax in and enjoy.
Our solar panels help provide clean renewable energy and our guests have shared access to charge their Electric Vehicle on a pay-as-you-go basis. Our eco-friendly waste disposal means we are recycling as much as possible. We use the stream and rainwater for many purposes and are now burning wood from trees which were planted from seed here thirty years ago. We are keen on encouraging wildlife, working sustainably and promoting biodiversity here at Deri Fawr.
We live in the house nearby and are always available to give advice, help or just a chat.
History
Deri Fawr, which means Big Oak, nestles in a valley created by The Afon Coch (Red River) which enters the sea at Dulas, one mile to the east.
In this beautiful location where there was once a mediaeval village called Deri, previous owners Paul and Mavis, took an 18th Century stone barn and sympathetically converted it into three cottages: The Smithy, The Stables and The Granary.
In May 2010 they converted another 18th century farm building to create The Byre, which is equipped to a very high standard and sleeps 2.
Our Garden
All of the garden (3 acres) is available for your enjoyment. When the Druids ruled, Anglesey had many oak groves but the Romans destroyed them. Paul planted many oaks in the 35 years they lived here. The garden has flower beds, fruit trees and a vegetable plot. The paddock is surrounded by a big old hedgerow and is planted with native trees. At the bottom of the paddock, a stream runs through our pond. Birds and wildlife abound as we try to manage the land to encourage a balanced ecology. It is very quiet here and many guests comment on this. We have a charcoal BBQ that you are welcome to use.
There are extensive hedgerows, many trees, a stream and pond. Rabbits and hedgehogs come and go and bats are to be seen regularly.
The Summerhouse
The Summerhouse is available all year long for you to enjoy the peace and tranquility of the garden.
