What our customers say about their holidays

  I want to start with how much we love this apartment.

  We’ve stayed in a few different apartments in Bryn Mel Manor but this one is our absolute favourite and this was our 3rd stay here. Our 18 yr old daughter absolutely loves it too. It’s a perfect base to explore or just relax and breathe in the sensational view. Our stay this time was spoilt by boiler issues that were raised with Sykes directly. Obviously this wasn’t a planned problem so we were very patient and amicable while I spent 4 days glued to my phone waiting for callbacks from Sykes and waiting in for an Engineer. It was Easter weekend with 2 bank holidays which possibly slowed responses down. Again we tried to be very understanding but the situation was causing me some stress because we were told we may need to move somewhere else which wasn’t ideal. The Housekeeping Manager even came to try and help and told us we should’ve had a welcome basket. We had only received a packet of Welsh cakes and arrived to a kitchen we had to clean over ourselves. We eventually ended up with an outcome that just about suited us. I would assume the boiler issue will have been rectified now and won’t cause anyone any further problems. The last few days of our break were relaxing and we would like to visit again. It’s a beautiful apartment and we know how great stays here can be from past experience. I did hold off posting this because a Sykes manager was supposed to call me back within 48 hours of us returning from holiday to make some amends. After 2 weeks that looks unlikely.

  Really lovely accommodation - we've stayed in one of the other apartments previously and was not disappointed.

  Easy parking, warm, dog friendly, well decorated and appointed, great views, loads of bathrooms. Some really small things in the kitchen that would make all the difference for people staying who like to cook: - all the knives were blunt, a little comedic trying to cut a loaf and potatoes were shooting off all over the place. - a big pan plus oven gloves and another couple of tea towels please - just a general review of plates/glasses and cutlery - there aren't 6 of everything. One thing to mention that may be helpful info for other people staying is that the stairs from lower ground floor up to kitchen are quite steep. We thought that the bottom room would be good for my elderly mum but the stairs were a bit much, so we switched things about so she was on the middle floor by the kitchen and could use the external stairs. The staff at the clubhouse were very friendly and it was a nice spot to pop over for a drink. No evening food when we were staying but Im guessing that changes in the summer when it's busier. Finally (and this is not the owners issue) there was dog poo in the garden area. One of the neighbouring houses lets their dogs run all over the car park and some guests in the adjacent apartment let their dogs out without watching them. There is a bin in the car park - it's not hard.

  The bones of this flat are great and its location really couldn't be better, but it needs attention.

  The sitting room and kitchen are absolutely fine, and the bathrooms do the job (though the en-suite shower leaks badly), but the bedrooms - particularly the master bedroom - are pretty disappointing. The double bed has the hardest mattress we've ever slept on; it was very uncomfortable to the point where one of us slept on the daybed in the second bedroom. The chest of drawers in the master bedroom is starting to fall apart (there was a piece hanging off the bottom) and it just all felt rather shabby. The wifi - which the paperwork in the flat described as something like "high quality" - doesn't stretch beyond the kitchen, so you've no hope of streaming anything in either bedroom; the irony of there being a Bluetooth-enabled mirror in the en-suite bathroom was not lost on us. Lastly, the noise from the flat above was almost intolerable at times. We were under the impression children weren't allowed in either flat, but there were children in the flat above us for the week we were there and the noise was difficult to deal with, particularly in the mornings and late at night. We were also very aware of our footsteps on the wooden floors and the impact on the flat below us. Knowing now that children are allowed in the top flat, that fact alone means we would not use Waters Edge again.

  We had high hopes for a peaceful Monday to Friday break, but the apartment block turned out to be right next door to RAF Valley who apparently practice their manoeuvres Monday to friday.

  All day. The 'high street' had no shops to browse, just one or two cafes. It seems to be more a place for families with small children and dogs..and there were lots of dogs. The accommodation itself was really nice...spotlessly clean and fully equipped. However the large sofa has seen better days and was very low and saggy to sit on...very uncomfortable for a couple in our early 70s, we struggled! This had been noted by several previous guests judging by the comments in a guest book there, as well as the broken toilet seat, but I'm guessing the owner is reluctant to replace the sofa because the apartment is mostly used by families with dogs & children. Why the broken toilet seat hasn't been addressed we don't know. Anglesey itself is lovely but our first visit has left us feeling a bit disappointed. We should have looked more deeply into where the town is situated re RAF Valley, and found out how many shops and pubs there are. Unless you're happy just sitting on the beach all day or walking dogs for miles, there wasn't much else to do. My daughter owns a dog and is always looking for accommodation that accepts dogs, but even she said they like to see a town with shops and pubs etc, and not just nothing! Some of the ads don't give the complete picture.

  For 3-nights the 3-storey apartment was smashing.

  For a last minute booking we really enjoyed our stay in Trearrdur. One problem with an audible alarm was resolved promptly by Sykes (although there were about 4 numbers to call before the correct one was reached) Decor very new and modern. Quiet location. Great that there was the option of double or twin beds. Drawbacks : -Smell in the downstairs bedroom and bathroom (possibly a bit of damp, drains, overfull sump?). I had to change bed configuration as couldn't have let my parents sleep in the smell. Better with window open, but couldn't sleep with window open as large window and a downstairs room accessible from the pavement outside. -Needs a baking tray and additional chair at the kitchen table (only 5 chairs but sleeps 6). -Prefer to see handsoap provided at all the sinks - not sanitiser. And also washing up liquid to be provided in the kitchen (although dishwasher tablets provided) -Need a dustpan and brush. Lovely wooden floors and a sweeping brush provided, but nowhere to sweep it to! -Nowhere to dry wetsuits ... we manged on railings at back for 2-days ... but if we'd come for a week would have been a challenge.
