What our customers say about their holidays

  Generally we had a really good holiday at this apartment and would certainly consider booking again.

  Here are all the good points: - convenient location close to local amenities and shops (including the best fish and chip shop on the island - Finneys) - Parking for 2 cars (and really nice neighbours who saw the size of our motability vehicle and offered us an easier space to park in) - Well laid out and comfortable overall - Well equipped kitchen - Warm - Pleasant, helpful owner - Quiet even though it is on the main road (but we were there during term time) - Bed linen good and nice soft furnishings - Property was clean when we arrived - Dog friendly - Easy to negotiate for people with mobility issues (not sure about for those using a wheelchair though) Some things to note though: - Third bedroom is very, very small and has no window. Listing does say it's a child/teenager room but note that it doesn't have anywhere to hang clothes or any sort of bedside table - Outside space isn't really private and is right on the main road, so we didn't feel that comfortable using it - The lounge is much smaller than it looks in the photos - although still ok for 4 adults and a dog - There is a dining table for 4 but it's really not functional because it's up against a wall and there isn't room to leave it out and still access the kitchen properly - lots of chipped crockery (mentioned to the owner) - Could benefit from a set of instruction manuals for the appliances (although the owner did show us how to use the induction hob) - Towels are very worn - but clean - Anti-slip bathmats desperately needed replacing (spoke to owner and he brought new ones for the next guests) - Owner did tell us there had been a damp problem in the main bedroom but we were careful to use the dehumidifier he provided

  The 'Hideaway' is a deligtful basemant flat in a perfect spot for accessing Benllech beach.

  We loved the attention to detail wrt making the accommodation a home from home; lots of 'knick knacks' and pictures etc. The quality of the furnishings is very good and the large store cupboard housing the fridge freezer is a huge bonus. The patio area is very pleasant and really opens up the flat, which can feel a bit enclosed due to it being in the basement (but that's just me perhaps). We didn't see much of the owners as they were away for most of our stay, but they were lovely to meet and had made sure that everything was spot on for our holiday. My only suggestion is that an extra chair in the seating area would have made for perfect comfort.....the two seater settee is fine, but my husband likes to spread out and so we felt a bit cramped with no other comfortable chair......there is plenty of room for a small tub chair or one like the ones on the patio. However, this is just a personal preference, and would not stop us from booking this lovely 'find ' again. Lots to do in the area and the beach is super; full of families and friendly dog walkers. There are pubs, shops and restaurants all within walking distance so what's not to like?

  `The Hideaway` at Benllech is a gorgeous & beautifully-arranged apartment for two.

  The well-equipped and comfortable accommodation is complemented by a neat little sun terrace, providing a super additional space in which to relax, read that book you`ve been wanting to finish, write postcards to family and friends to tell them how much you are enjoying being there etc; whilst also providing a perfect and partially-covered space in which to eat and drink outdoors. In the write up, `The Hideway` is said to be one minute from the sea, which would obviously vary from person to person. I can only say that (for me) it took a mere 210 ordinary footsteps to reach the sea front. The beach, which is backed by Limestone cliffs and intriguing rock formations, has gently sloping golden sand and plenty of rock pools to explore. The Wales Coast Path is even fewer steps from the apartment and there are plenty of good local facilities. What`s not to like?

  We’ve really enjoyed our stay at the apartment in Benllech.

  The property is cosy, warm and comfortable. It well equipped for those who like to cook but also, well positioned if you fancy a takeaway or, a visit to one of the local pubs or restaurants. I’m going to miss the beach view from the kitchen window! Following a recommendation from the owner, we had a very nice meal at the Beachcomber Restaurant. As artists, we’ve spent lots of time sketching and drawing the beautiful beaches & boats in and around Red Wharf Bay, Cemaes, and Moelfre. Plas Newydd House was closed but we managed to visit the gardens. Like us, you might have to ask for directions as it is not well signposted from Benllech. We also enjoyed the fascinating history of Beaumaris Gaol. It’s an island of contrasts with a backdrop of misty topped mountains. Just a shame we live so far away.

  We had a great week in Benllech.

  We did lots of walking on the beach and the surrounding area. The Hideaway had everything we needed except for a place to sit in the sun. We did give feedback to the owner and he is looking into this. The place was clean and well kept if a little cool at times. This wasn’t really an issue as we had the mini heatwave the week we were there so the cool was appreciated. The bed was very comfy and the rooms were well decorated in a nautical theme throughout. As we were in the converted basement there was a little noise from above with squeaky floorboards and flushing toilets but not all the time. A fabulous position for beach lovers and the beaches themselves were very clean and spacious. All in all a great week.
