  Plas y Brain is a great house in a really peaceful and private location.

  There’s plenty of room in the house and outside. The garden was great for our dog. This is a great spot for star gazing too as there is little to no light pollution in the surrounding area. The house was warm and spotlessly clean when we arrived. The kitchen has lots of worktop and cupboard space, and it is well equipped; although, a few extra dinner and side plates would be good. The fridge is about the size of an under counter fridge. We would have benefitted from a larger fridge as we took a week’s worth of shopping with us but couldn’t fit it all in. The shops in Benllech aren’t far though, so I wouldn’t take as much fresh food next time. We loved the large kitchen table. It was great for dining and playing games on. There was plenty of room in the large hallway when all 7 of us were trying to get shoes on and get out of the house. Some coat hooks/coat stand here would be beneficial. We used the shelves in the cupboards for coats and luckily had dry weather, so it didn’t matter too much for us. The games room was good fun and enjoyed by all (age range from 9-77 years!). The stair gate made it easy to keep the dog downstairs as requested by the owners and there was a large space under the stairs area to put her crate. A point to note for visitors is to take a plug attachment to charge your electric toothbrush as there aren’t any shaver points. We had a lovely family holiday here (lots of walking on the nearby beaches and coastal path followed by playing games at the house) and although we had really nice weather, we feel like the house would have been a good space if we’d had to stay in. We will definitely stay at Plas y Brain again the next time we visit Anglesey.

  Overall we absolutely loved our stay and on leaving immediately looked to rebook (fully booked until September unfortunately).

  However despite numerous reviews mentioning the broken outdoor furniture this has still not been fixed/replaced which was very disappointing as obviously the feedback is not being actioned by the owners. Our only other criticism was the check in-check out times and the cleaning expectations of guests ‘due to covid’. Check in not until 6pm and check out by 9.30! Presumably to allow for adequate cleaning between guests, except the list for cleanliness to be completed by the guests was outrageous given the check in/check out times. We booked with Menai holidays last year just after the rule change to allow overnight stays in your family bubbles and the check in/check out times weren’t even this late/early in the height of the pandemic. We could check in from 3pm and check out by 10am, with much less cleaning expectations placed on the guest. In my opinion the new check in/check out times alongside the new cleaning expectations for guests mean you lose a day of your holiday. It feels very much how can we make more money whilst providing less. I feel this is a bit of a liberty by the property letting company especially given the more acceptable times during the height of the pandemic . Otherwise we loved our stay, loved the property, we have always had excellent experiences as repeat bookers with Menai holidays and would both recommend and use again, however the check in/check out times plus cleaning expectations did disappoint, alongside the property owners lack of attention to previous feedback about the garden furniture. It gave an impression of not being overly bothered about renter feedback as long as bookings continue to be made.

  Mermaid Cottage is in a wonderful position with amazing views from the garden and the lounge.

  We were a family of 5 (with 2 children aged 10 and 7) and gran, and there was plenty of space inside and out. The lounge and master bedroom were very comfortable, but the ensuite was a bit smelly and needed work. The main bathroom was modernised, but the sink drained extremely slowly and the bath mat was frayed. The mattresses on the single beds weren't supportive and not ideal for grans aching back. We needed to swap 2 around and found that they could do with replacing. The kitchen and utensils are in need of a revamp. The house has a damp problem and we found a slug in the bedroom and on the worktop in the kitchen during our stay. All things that I am sure are on the owners radar, and it looks like they are being addressed slowly. There are a few inexpensive things that the owners could do to help guests. It would help guests if your property information was up to date and in an information folder, rather than scattered around the house. The wi-fi leaflet is out of date. A housekeeping book would also be useful. As there is no dishwasher a small supply of washing up liquid and cloths would be extremely helpful. There is a picnic bench in the garden but nothing comfortable to sit on to make the most of the amazing views and enjoy the space. Info said that there were garden chairs in the shed, which was incorrect. We found 2 wooden chairs but they were broken. We were informed that towels were not provided, but they were. Constructive criticism rather than complaints, as we all enjoyed our stay and I think that the price of the cottage is fair, considering it's wonderful position.

  Fantastic House, plenty of room for everyone.

  Very clean property. Two separate living areas for multi generational living. Nice welcome pack with tea. coffee, sugar, milk and shortbread. There was also cleaning items. Beds and pillows very comfy, the quilt was a bit too warm for me but that's just my preference, not a problem I took the quilt out of the cover and just used the cover. Fantastic views from all sides. Quiet location so if you are looking to get away for a truely relaxing break this is the place for you. The garden is for most part secure but if you have an adventurous dog you would need to monitor this. Not a problem for us we have sleepy lazy dogs. It's close enough to two beaches, just 10 mins in the car. We had an issue with the cooker, contacted the owner who arrived within 20 mins, problem solved. Highlight of the day for the kids was the cows coming in to the field next to the house, they even named a few :-) Worst thing about the house was having to leave. We LOVED it. Can't wait to return. Thank you for sharing your home

  Very clean and fairly well equipped.

  Peaceful and tranquil location within easy reach of local amenities and attractions. Immediate area is farming land so pleasant to see the livestock and also the abundant wildlife. Owner/ caretaker was very friendly, helpful and responsive but also gave us our privacy. We stayed with multiple generations of the same family and as such found the house and grounds good for all ages. Many bbqs and family gathering for meals were had. We had a good spell of weather but had we not we feel the house would have still satisfied us all. Ps. Our only suggestion which is not a criticism but more personal preference, would be a comfy chair or window seat in each of the bedrooms, to help soak up the views - otherwise we have no complaints and would likely return as it is a good standard, clean, good layout for large multi age group family, fairly priced and well located for both exploring anglesey and / or staying in and relaxing with family. Thank you to Dylan & co. We really enjoyed our stay.
