  Lovely comfortable spacious holiday house, great for a family of 3 generations plus 2 dogs (an older lurcher and a middle-aged greyhound).

  Fabulous location near the most beautiful walks around Newborough nature reserve. The owners were very lovely, very helpful. We had a really great time and would highly recommend this house. (I'm adding a useful note for people with dogs who might want to know how secure the garden is: - we were not entirely confident that our large dogs could not jump/step over the wall at the front of the house (which faces straight onto the main road through the village), so we did not let them off-lead in the first part of the garden. This maybe ideal for smaller dogs though. There is also a very large lovely secluded garden (big enough for kids to play football) beyond the gate which we did let them run around while supervised - this is mainly very high hedges, with a small section of fencing / gates of about 4 foot. The very back boundary of the property is a bank with a small wire fence across the top, very overgrown with shrubs and weeds so my two more sensible older dogs did not attempt to push through, but if you have younger, smaller, more determined dogs or you visited in the winter months when the vegetation had died back you would need to be careful that your dogs do not escape through here. I hope that this information is useful, but please check first as each dog is different! Our dogs had a fabulous holiday and loved having some garden to run around)

  The property is ideally situated close to the Anglesey coastal path and a short drive to Beaumaris.

  Unfortunately upon our arrival the property was filthy. The dishwasher was partly loaded containing mouldy plates, the rest of the cutlery and plates were also dirty but had been placed back into the cupboards. Cooking utensils were worn, rusty or so dirty we couldn’t safely use them. Oven was dirty, Bedding was covered in dog hair and faeces were left in the toilet and what appeared to be faeces was in the carpet. We raised our concerns upon our arrival and the management company sent round the cleaning team, who apparently had already been round that day. They were very apologetic and provided my wife with some wine and chocolates. Throughout our negative experience, communication with the management company was excellent and they were equally shocked when we provided photographic evidence. After spending approximately 4 hours cleaning we could commence our holiday at 2100hrs on the first evening. Sykes refunded us £50 from the cost of our holiday. Whilst we accepted the refund, upon reflection we believe that this was below what was reasonable given the circumstances. We did have a nice holiday, but we could not recommend this property to anybody else.

  Unfortunately we had a few problems The cleanliness of the house was not very good.

  We had to clean plates, glasses cutlery, the bathroom in master bedroom was quite dirty with cobwebs, bedroom had cobwebs and dusty too, broken toilet seat. The mattress had lots of stains! No protector! Disgusting. I couldn’t sleep on the bed and slept on the sofa! The pillows in my sons room were heavily mouldy and stained. They had been put in protectors so someone must have seen the state of the pillows. I have pictures of everything. The bedrooms downstairs No protector on double bed, bad mould on the walls Extensive mould in the twin room. This is awful considering the recent publicity regarding the effects of mould. The general upkeep of the house need updating. The sofas in the living area is heavily stained uncomfortable We paid quite a lot for the stay and it was really disappointing and distressing for us. We did speak to the owner/cleaner & Sykes about the situation who arranged for the toilet seat to be swapped and the lovely cleaners came and put protectors on the beds and cleaned. But the issues should not have happened in the 1st place. I don’t think it should be rated 4 ticks at all. I have photos of everything which I can send you.

  `No cheese grater except for a mini parmesan grater which is no use to man nor beast-unless the beast brought parmesan !

  Ok - so the house was fantastic- the quirky layout worked well for our party of 6. The furnishings were lovely, the art work was lovely. Sitting on the top terrace in the sunshine surrounded by butterflies & crickets was lovely. The views across the Menai straits into Snowdonia were magnificent. The locality is marvellous, the walks from the door great. The locals friendly- a red squirrel kindly stopped & posed for photos on a stroll to Arthur's Fort & if you get a chance to say hello to a fella with a large grey beard & a S.A. accent who regularly walks by the house with his dog then do so & if your lucky he will regale you with tales of foreign travel in search of bugs, fascinating. Castles, boat trips, beaches & walks all good. Great holiday. Envious of the owners. But you have been warned- no cheese grater. (cleaners could pay a little more attention to the shower waste traps.)

  Wonderful holiday - amazing views.

  Spent a week here at the beginning of November. Found the property one of the best we have stayed in. The view from the house is beautiful. The house is in such a quiet peaceful area that it helped to have a relaxing holiday. Positives for us - The view from the upstairs lounge. Comfortable seating areas and the house lends itself to different zones. Slept well due to comfortable beds and the house being quiet. Close to the beach and other walking areas. Easy to get to see many sites on Anglesey. At time of booking my wife was concerned about the narrow steep lanes mentioned, however after the first time of doing the roads it became easy and a non 4x4 car was able to drive them. Only met one other vehicle whilst on this road during our stay. We would highly recommend the property.
