What our customers say about their holidays

• Keith - Verified booking

  We found the property pretty much as described, private and comfortable.

  The standard of the furniture, white goods and kitchen utensils/china was excellent and the property, including the hot tub, was clean. One thing that would have been helpful, though, would have been some shelving in the shower room to better hold toiletries rather than the floor mounted boxes. There was no information provided in the property on local amenities. The gentleman who owned the property did come to the cottage on the afternoon we arrived and spent some time telling us about local restaurants and drives around the island, but information provided in this way can be more difficult to take on board. What would have been more useful would to have been to provide a pack of information, which we’ve always found useful when we’ve stayed in other Sykes properties. About four days into our stay, we came across user manuals for the microwave, dishwasher, tv etc. in one of the kitchen drawers (although the info tor the microwave was for a different model). In summary, the property very much ‘did what it said on the tin’ but there was lot of information provided on what we could not to do, but nothing on what we could do. This did not, though, prevent us spending a wonderful week in a beautiful part of the country.

  Clean, comfortable, spacious and very well appointed cottage with the added benefit of a hot tub and good parking.

  Ian and Hilary were very welcoming and close at hand if needed but otherwise their nearby presence was very discreet. Excellent location to use as a base for exploring Anglesey by car or walking to Red Wharf Bay cross country starting on a footpath that you pick up right behind the property - just walk to the bottom of the garden, turn right and straight after the large gate there is a style (somewhat overgrown!) on the left. You can then follow various footpaths and quiet country lanes to Red Wharf Bay using such as footpathmap.co.uk. My wife and I were there in peak summer holiday season so some of the car parks in the surrounding towns and villages were a bit too busy, but there is a very large seafront car park at Cemaes Bay, which is certainly worth a visit. Also there is copious parking at Amlwch where you can easily pick up the coastal path. We enjoyed a walk along that to Bull Bay, stopping off en route at the Trecastell Hotel for an excellent Sunday carvery, which is highly recommended. All in all we had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay and are very happy to recommend Glasinfryn Cottage for couples looking to spend a relaxing time on Anglesey.

  I needed a nearby stay whilst my property purchase in Holyhead neared completion, this was my third Sykes Cottages stay on the island.

  Overall, really pleased with this property. Just the right size for me, everything I needed for a solo 9-day stay. My only negatives would be: oddly, only 1 wine glass in the cupboard (can't help to think if a couple stayed); the freezer part of the fridge hasn't been defrosted in a year or more, it is compacted ice, so I couldn't use it; as mentioned by previous reviews, the walls are thin, for 3/4 days mid-stay the cottage to the rear (No.7) had some pretty noisy people in moving furniture & dragging boxes around, every drawer opened and closed resonates into No.6. On the estate, I was a little perturbed by a knock on the door late one afternoon, a man peering through the window at me... on opening the door he asked to 'test the smoke detector'. He had no ID when asked. I then noticed that he simply let himself into the next properties he wanted to check... what if I'd have been upstairs in the shower or bed, would he have just let himself in ? One of the comfiest beds I've encountered... I'd certainly stay again.

  Beautiful cottage and would definitely stay again.

  Set in a quiet village away from the world and was just the escape we needed from our busy working lives. High on our list of priorities when choosing a self catering let is cleanliness and location and this let did not disappoint! It was immaculate and everything clean and tidy. Lots of nice walks nearby and on Anglesey you are never more than a short ride from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the hot tub with a glass (plastic of course) of wine listening to the birds in the garden. We popped out for an afternoon to Beaumaris and enjoyed exploring some of the nearby beaches. On our way back to the Cottage we stopped off at Benllech for seafood and purchased dressed crab at the Crab Shop. Highly recommended too. We would definitely stay again and thank you for having us.

  We had a lovely time at Plas Bach . Some beautiful scenery and walks available. It is a comfortable , cosy cottage , that is well equipped for your needs . The owners are helpful and kind without interfering with your time there. We were particularly lucky with the weather considering it was February . Two minor issues to consider RAF Valley is near by, and so the ‘Jets’ fly by can start at 8- 9 am . This I loved but I’m sure not for all. The cottage is cut off by the tide twice a day -so I would recommend you view the Lavers published tidal times prior to booking to ensure you select the weeks that will interfere least with your ability to come and go from the cottage . Overall well worth a visit and experience. We hope to revisit in the future
