  We had a wonderful visit to Bryn Lllifon in a multi level generational family context and I can imagine it has been a well loved place for decades.

  I loved the house/road sign which took me right back to my childhood. The location is private and secluded and I advise folk to check out on google maps to locate it before you go. It provides stunning views of Red Wharf Bay from the lounge, kitchen and the biggest bedroom. The bungalow is beautifully presented inside with a huge feeling of space as soon as you walk in and not only has 4 bedrooms but an extra little room with TV and sofa bed which proved ideal for us. As we had two very young children we were glad of a multitude of roomy walk in cupboards where lamps and tables with glass tops could be stored safely until the end of the holiday. It was a pity that there were no children's toys (plenty of board games and TV gaming) however the swing in the garden was very popular with all ages! We left a few toys for future use we hope, as we felt it is the sort of property that families travelling together like us will be grateful for. I found the kitchen equipment a bit challenging as although there is a dishwasher there is not enough crockery and cutlery. We were able to resolve this as we have a camper van and so were able to double up on mugs and cutlery. Also some mugs in the cupboard were chipped probably by poor stacking of the dishwasher. There were a few gripes with maintenance, lights that needed new bulbs and I advise bringing toilet rolls, washing detergent and dishwasher tablets. The beds were gorgeous. Little Archie, aged three years was in a single bed and stated that he had slept on a cloud! The only real negative is the water which runs hot but only briefly and it is a problem if anyone wants a bath. We found the area very convenient as you can take a lovely wooded or bay walk to Benllech Beach, passing the Ship Inn for refreshment en route! Lligwy Beach is beautiful, and a must is a visit to The Crab Shop adjacent to the Tesco Express in Benllech where we purchased fresh Menai Strait Oysters and two freshly cooked lobsters. Cooking lovely seafood for all 8 of my family in a kitchen with such an amazing view is something I will remember with enormous pleasure. I get the impression the planning for changes to the exterior property will enhance it even more but I rate it as one of my favourite places I have stayed.

  Recommend the location, however the property needs some improvements and we had some issues with rubbish collection.

  This was our first trip to Anglesey as a young family and we would highly recommend it as a location for a varied holiday – loads to do with great beaches and plenty of places to visit both on the island and the mainland. We’ve stayed in lots of holiday lets previously and our impression was, at this price point, the place could do with some improvements and general maintenance. Generally, the kitchen is a bit tired and needs some better kit. Garden very overgrown and needs some TLC. Lots of chipped mugs etc. These are pretty minor quibbles but the two main issues we weren’t happy with were around rubbish and responsiveness to previous feedback from guests. Rubbish. When we arrived, all 4 wheelie bins were full of rubbish already. Instructions in the property said to use a red bin, however there wasn’t one. We rang the agency who said they would check and get back to us about what to do – they didn’t call us back. The upshot was all the previous guests rubbish (plus ours) was still at the priority after we left after 11 nights. We had to take some of our rubbish elsewhere ourselves. What was most disappointing was this same issue had been raised by a previous guest – it was noted in the guest book and a previous review. Responsiveness to feedback. We found that the large, heavy main dining room table had a broken leg. A former guest had noted this about a year ago, so it seems that nothing had been done to repair. We thought that was disappointing and wondered whether they had not read the feedback, or read it but not done anything about it. Will definitely be back to Anglesey but wouldn’t stay here again unless some improvements were made to the property and would hope for better responsive to issues/queries.

  We greatly enjoyed this holiday.

  The view from the property is outstanding and the owners have redecorated it tastefully and to a high standard.It is situated conveniently close to the Anglesey Coastal Path. However the listing is inaccurate as it claimed that there were two showers in the property. There is a glowing paragraph saying that everyone can get ready to go out at the same time which is untrue particularly as none of us could run enough hot water to have a bath. ( Incidentally when I telephoned to suggest that you altered your listing you did so quickly, well done, but the promised "token of compensation" has not materialised). There were other difficulties: There is a lovely decking area to eat outside but only four chairs. As there are no dining chairs in the property only benches this was a drawback. We thought that we saw some extra chairs in the shed but this was padlocked. Again this is contrary to the property description which claims that the shed can be used to store bikes. The dining table was squashed into the kitchen which made it difficult four six people to eat together although this is clear from one of the pictures so that was not unexpected for us. It is useful to have two televisions and they do indeed have Netflix. However they do not have ITV which may disconcert some visitors wanting to watch the upcoming Euros. The property has obviously been refurbished very recently as the bedroom drawers had plaster dust in them which we are finding difficult to brush off our clothes. We would have detailed the above points in the housekeeping book which we were told would would be in the property but we were unable to find one. Should mention that the beds were very comfortable and we slept extremely well.

  A beautiful property with wonderful open upstairs space.

  Great for our family holiday with its position near lots of fabulous beaches. It would be nice to have an option of a welcome food pack, especially given late check in time as for fairly young children it’s unpack-dinner-bed that evening and difficult to fit shopping into our small car along with the holiday bags and buckets and spades. Too far to get out to supermarkets and back on arrival evening after unpacking the car, and village shop now shut down. An optional paid-for hamper would have made a big difference. Other suggestions include more mixing/serving bowls for the kitchen and at least a starter amount of kitchen roll (nothing to use as napkins etc). We found downstairs difficult to get air circulation going to enable clothes and towel drying. Found it felt a bit damp overall down there even in mid-August. The shower in main bathroom is not great (too narrow water flow) and the toilets in both give an alarming feeling that they are about to fall off the wall when you sit on them. Good storage in the bedrooms and lovely to have a proper utility room. It would be helpful to have the web/email info updated to be currently accurate - eg i read somewhere there would be no washing up liquid or other things which were in fact (very helpfully) provided. Overall we had a wonderful week, just providing a few points while I remember!

  Lovely place to stay.

  Even though this is a working farm it was incredibly quiet and peaceful. Lovely large comfortable beds and plenty of comfy seating to relax in. The property was tastefully furnished and was equipped with everything we could possibly need. The hot tub was an added bonus, even though it can’t be used after 9pm, though a trellis would add a bit of extra privacy. The welcome pack of wine, delicious farm eggs and flowers was a lovely and much appreciated touch. There is plenty to do and see within short travelling distances, lots of lovely walks and superb beaches. This really is a lovely area of Wales for a holiday. Haverfordwest, which is just a short drive away from the property, has plenty of places to eat and we can thoroughly recommend the Bristol Trader. We were a party of 6 and can honestly say their Sunday lunch was the best meal we have ever eaten, though booking is advisable. We had slight difficulties accessing the property initially as the information provided by Sykes was incorrect, so recommend contacting the owners in advance. It’s also worth noting that one of the upstairs bedrooms is galleried and overlooks the main living area as this was something we hadn’t realised from the description. Overall we had a fantastic stay and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property.
