Very interesting place, very kind and helpful workers. The place is very animal friendly. There is a really fun safari for children. Really delicious and fresh doughnuts and coffee.

I've been wanting to go here for ages and I wasn't disappointed. The mill was fascinating to look round. I haven't included photos inside because you should go and look yourself! The roundhouses were awe inspiring; amazing to see how sophisticated these dwellings were at a time when we risk thinking of people as primitive. The model animal safari was also really cool.

We went last Saturday 24/9/22 Wow! I’ve been wanting to come here for ages and this visit (i live in France) it was a must and a precious outing with mum .. Everyone was so very friendly and helpful 🥰. Everyone we saw staff wise had a huge smile and were really welcoming 🥰..they have a chair lift (if needed) to go up from the shop to the café where you find the fantastically yummy Mônuts ! Which was fantastic for my elderly mum , and very much appreciated. And when we got up to the cafe The Mônut Ninja aka Aron offered mum a chair right in front of the counter so she could choose her Mônut (chocolate) .. that was so kind and yes the lemon and blueberry Mônut is out of this world 👍🏻👌🏻💕 Diolch for your advice Aron ☺️ We also bought some of their super Siocled (very yummy ) and a lovely book about the straits and a Welsh dragon for my grandson in France Melin Llynon is spotless inside and out… toilets are super clean and have everything you need (even a baby changing space and a disabled toilet) . The windmill is amazing and they’re doing a fantastic job restoring it . There is a super trail down to the round houses (unfortunately we didn’t go);but could here lots of laughter and kids and parents having fun 🥰. So if you’ve never been .. go.. you won’t regret it. Mr Mônut aka Mr Holt & family you are doing a fantastic job .. well done .. we’ll be back for sure 🥰

Absolutely AMAZING!! It was our first time visiting and we will definitely be returning. £6 per adult and dog friendly. We went inside the windmil which was very interesting and Richard senior gave us our very own private tour which was brilliant and was very informative we learnt so much, Was definitely the highly of the trip. Brilliant for kids and big kids too! Animal Safari was lovely with lots of animals to see 🦁🐘🦓🐵🦏 Great gift shop with some lovely homemade local products for sale, We finished our visit with Monuts (which are delicious!!!!) and a coffee where a nice local photographer called Phil hen offered to take our photo. Overall it Was a fantastic day out with the family and we will most defiantly be returning again.

A really interesting place to visit, the buildings showing some of the history of the area and restored so we are able to get an idea of what is was like in times gone by. Also the owner, Richard Holt, is a very hands on proprietor who whilst his cafe is closed has set up a successful new Welsh chocolate and Gin businesses on the site. We were given a tour and background to this new chocolate venture and it was fascinating to see how this entrepreneur has overcome the challenges of the pandemic to create jobs for the local community at a very trying time. Wish him every success and look forward to returning to try the patisseries in the cafe when open.

We've been waiting to come here all summer, but as we're local we thought we would wait until the summer crowds died down. Even with the holidays over, we missed out last weekend (we called to check if there were any monuts left before heading over!). So this weekend we made sure we got there for not long after 10am. From the moment we arrived we were greeted with a friendly smile and lots of helpful info. We all loved the doughnuts, milkshakes and coffee was great too. Felt like a real treat! Yes they're more than you pay in *insert chain store here* but it feels great to support a local, family run business who put their heart and soul into things (3am starts!). We also weren't expecting to spend so long looking around the windmill, roundhouses and doing the nature trail. We spent over 2 hrs enjoying ourselves! It was well worth the trip. Thank you Melin Llynon team.

Couldn't have been more welcoming or friendly. Very accessible and the nature trail and playground kept our youngest entertained for ages. We must have been here for nearly 3 hours. The windmill was fascinating. A little tlc needed at the old bakery but otherwise an excellent place to visit.
