  The bedrooms in this property are compact.

  The owners have clearly run out of budget and bought cheap second hand bits of furniture to put in them. The bedroom with the ensuite bathroom had a pullout computer desk to store clothes, which was covered in dust I might add. So there is no hanging space for clothes in this room. There is also no wardrobe/hanging space for clothes in the bedroom that overlooks the bathroom. They seem to have concluded putting two clothes rails in a cupboard on the landing is an acceptable solution. It isn’t in my book. I would strongly suggest getting rid of the dressing table (which had a miss-matching chair which is too low for it) from the bedroom facing the garden and putting in a wardrobe. I would also suggest getting rid of the computer desk in the other room and putting a wardrobe in there. I realise it would have to be half-height as the angle of the roof prevents full height, but it would be better than what’s there! The under-sink storage unit drawer in the ensuite has a drawer that opens about 10cm because the towel rail blocks it. The bath has no bath plug, so what’s the point?! The child gate for the stairs is broken, we had to use a lump of timber we found outside the back door to wedge it up. They have put a fence in which stops you being able to walk from the hot tub to the back door in order to access the downstairs shower room (utter stupidity). The shower tray fascia was hanging off in this bathroom. The kitchen was largely ok, except the ice-making unit in the freezer was broken and pushed the door open, so had to be taken out. The lounge/dining room was ok, I can confirm they have put a 6 seater dining table and chairs in which were not pictured in the listing at the time of our booking. The hot tub was good, heated on arrival so good to go day 1. There is a table and 6 chairs in the garden. Also 2 sun loungers and 4 seats which had cushions in a storage box. When the sun was out it covered most of the garden except the hot tub. They could do with putting a mat to wipe your feet outside the patio door, you end up bringing in a lot of grass if it has been recently mown - which based on our experience was the case. There are two three seater leather sofas, good, comfortable. Plus another sofa, looks like a click-clack one, not sure. But plenty of seating for 6 without being on top of one another. Ultimately if the above doesn’t bother you too much then go, but they just need to finesse the stupid mess ups in the place. Location is great walk down the hill to the little Tesco, takeaways then on to the beach which is glorious. This is one of three identical properties tucked on to this plot of land. We managed to squeeze three cars beside this property where the other two only have space out front for cars so 1 maybe 2 at most, otherwise you’d have to park on the street, which wasn’t overall busy in June.

  The cottage is lovely and clean and well maintained and has all the facilities needed to self cater if desired.

  It is in a cracking position in the village of Llanbedr near to all amenities and pubs etc. However, there is a price to pay for this accessibility in terms of parking. There is parking on the road opposite the cottage on a first come, first served basis and usually you can get in somewhere along that road but not always. This can be problematic when arriving with all your luggage and shopping so just be prepared. There is a train station and also a campsite further down this road, which creates a lot of traffic in peak periods when they arrive and depart or are going out for the day. Again, it is something that can be worked around and did not detract from our very pleasant stay. The cottage is very well equipped as described in the listing and we wanted for nothing during our stay. Getting out to all the various seaside locations and local villages is easy with nothing being too far away for a day trip - we enjoyed several great days out. The garden is a bonus in the good weather and allows you to eat outside ‘al fresco’ which we did a couple of times. At night the village is quiet and you get a peaceful nights sleep in both the bedrooms. I would recommend the cottage for a good all round self catering holiday in a lovely friendly village with a couple of great pubs and the super local shop, which really does stock everything!!

  The location of Meadow View is great, very close to the beach and to explore the rest of Anglesey.

  The house is on a plot with 2 other identical properties. We weren't disturbed but I chose to close the kitchen blind and lounge curtain for privacy. When booking I was drawn by the photos and reviews. Having staying in ample holiday cottage this one did not meet my expectation, due to the finish of the workmanship in the property, kitchen tap not fitted property, missing grout in both upstairs bathroom floor tiles and broken toilet holder as example. I would advise some attention to detail, the furniture ia dated, the garden needs attention and the grass should have been cut, hand wash to be provided in the bathrooms, 2 toilet roll per bathroom would have been acceptable, some personalised touches in the home for example, Benllech photos, a photo of Anglesey. There was nothing to indicate you were in Wales or just to make the house more homely. If these things don't bother you there's nothing necessarily wrong with this property. It was clean and comfortable, great location and ideal for 6 people sharing the cost.

  The house was a need of a little TLC.

  We did have an amazing stay though and the house was very clean. The tiles in the en suite bathroom were loose and require refitting/grout required on many.. the toilet flush refill appears to be attached to the hot water. But the bathroom had everyone needed, nice bath! In the lounge on two occasions I nearly tripped on the fire up-stand, maybe place a planter on there? In the garden it was nice to have flags and grass. There is one flag I felt was a little dangerous the one between the shower and the hot tub it is loose and the pergola frame leg is standing on this one. Also where the grass ends and the flags start to the steps that is a trip hazard. The knifes in the block were not great other than the bread knife and could do with replacing. Would be nice to have a king bed, but I appreciate the rooms a quite restrictive so you may not be able to fit one in. It felt like a home, and the hot tub was amazing. Would definitely book again

  Absolutely lovely property.

  The lounge is super cosy with the stove lit on dark nights and sofas were comfy too. The farmhouse had everything we needed. The secure garden was great for the dogs to play and the walk around the fishing lake was lovely. Narrow country lanes to get to property but soon got used to them and was an ideal base to go to all the amazing surrounding beaches. We went to escape the fireworks as both dogs are terrified and didn’t hear any bangs the whole week, was so peaceful. The only noises came from the birds and the cows. Was greeted by the owners when we arrived then left us be but were only a phone call away if we needed anything. Good WiFi too If anything negative maybe a check of the kitchen as some of the plates are chipped and in need of a new frying pan. But would highly recommend and would definitely return it was a great property. As others have mentioned both dogs are sulking now we are home
