What our customers say about their holidays

  We found Isfryn to be a very spacious and warm house.

  The twin bedroom has some shelving for clothing but there is nowhere to hang clothes and since it is a smallish room perhaps it is more suitable for children. Oddly the only bedroom with a mirror is the en-suite room. The house is in a lovely, secluded position with views of the bay. Many pleasant walks can be made from the door. Access to the property for the last 200 Ms is by a rough track but taken slowly driving an Octavia and a Polo we never had problems. Previous reviewers mention the absence of an adequate vacuum. The issue is now resolved with a new ‘Henry’. We accept that the quiet location will limit mobile phone signals but our main gripe was a very intermittent Wi-Fi connection. It seems to be a BT hub via a landline but even so for say 70% of the time we needed Wifi the hub was not connected. Perhaps we were unlucky since no one else has mentioned this as a problem in reviews or the visitor’s book. Bins collection is fortnightly. We put both outside the gate and they were emptied on Thursday 6th October. We experienced some minor cleaning issues and were I the owner I would be disheartened by the many carpet stains to what look like newish carpets. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay and the real test is would we go again – the answer is ‘yes we would happily return’.

  This was a beautiful house in a stunning location.

  It was comfortable, spacious and we felt at home. There were no issues which detracted from our holiday but some matters we would like the owners to be aware of. Some maintenance points: Considerable leak on the bath tap in the family bathroom. Some loose and missing grout in the tiled floor of the ensuite bathroom. Batteries in the Hive thermostat showing as "red" Dishwasher does not release tablet from the dispenser. Some facility points: No readily accessible hooks for wet coats (necessary given the outdoor nature of the location and Welsh weather!) A coat stand would be a useful addition. Imbalance in crockery and cutlery, for example many glasses and small coffee cups, less full size mugs. Insufficient crockery and cutlery to efficiently use the dishwasher as it was not possible to accumulate dishes in the washer and have enough to use. All of these points are easily resolved and we would not in any way wish to detract from the overall quality of the house and the excellent holiday we had there.

  The cottage was warm and comfortable and we had a lovely time with the whole family.

  However, I would say that this is not a house for 6 people - it's a house for 4 adults and 2 children! The twin-bedded room was deceptive in the photograph and was very much smaller than we anticipated. There was also nowhere to put clothes apart from a rather wobbly cheap unit of 3 small shelves with canvas cover over the top. We also had a problem opening the key safe as the 4th button of the key code would not work. In the end, after struggling, we managed to open it by pressing all 4 buttons at the same time, but this took two people to open it! It definitely needs replacing. The only other thing that would stop us coming here again was the access road. The instructions said a stony track! They did not say it was a very rough track full of pot-holes and made getting up and down to the cottage difficult, unless you were in a 4x4! We scraped the bottom of our cars on several occasions despite driving carefully and trying to keep one set of wheels on the raised grass bit in the middle!!

  Lovely cottage in a tranquil location with views over the bay, surrounded by nature.

  The road to Isfryn is a single track country road then onto a farm track but our cars and a motorcycle made it up and down with ease. We loved the isolation and peace. The tree house type platform was perfect for all day chilling on with breakfast or to enjoy a glass of gin on in the afternoon. Log fire was enjoyed of an evening and sofas and beds all comfy. We had 4 adults a child and 2 dogs and we all had space, it felt safe and was fun to be in after our days exploring Anglesey. The Panton arms nearby was great for food and atmosphere. Local garage for firewood was convenient. Could do with a little investment to enhance some tired furniture and replace a useless hoover (it wasn’t nice to not be able to hoover as we went especially with having a small child and dogs) A new bench would also be lovely as it is so lovely to be sat outside the lounge area. Bathrooms and showers etc great and this house has a lovely open homely feel to it.

  We had a power cut for a full day whilst we were there.

  We spoke to a neighbour and were told that all property owners had been notified that the power would be off on that day from 9.00 m to 4.30pm. Unfortunately on that particular day we had arranged for friends to visit us for a meal. This had to be cancelled and we ate out. We couldn't shower or even make a cup of tea as the gas ignition wouldn't work and we needed to go into Pentraeth to buy a box of matches as there were none in the house. The owner of the property apologised via Sykes but he said that he had no prior knowledge of the cut. The fact is that everybody was informed even if it didn't get through to the owner. I asked for compensation of £50. In the end after negotiation through Sykes, I got £25 which I think is a paltry amount for a whole day (and food as well) spoiled. Ultimately somebody was responsible - where does the buck stop. All of that said, we did enjoy the rest of our holiday and it is a lovely house in a beautiful area
