Holiday Cottages With Hot Tubs In Holyhead

  Lovely 3 bed, 2 bath cottage right in the middle of a farmyard.

  Small, walled garden was ideal for letting our dogs out before bedtime, although a more agile dog would easily jump the wall. This is a working farm and the cattle sheds are right next to the house so if you don't like the smell or the sound of cattle, it's not for you. Also, there are tractors in and out and the cattle are driven right past the cottage, so mind your children. The proprieter, Gwyneth, is very warm and welcoming. She happily showed us around the farm and enthusiastically explained anything we were interested in. For the birdwatchers, there are Swallows nesting and many other birds around, including Buzzards and Kestrels. The Wales coast path is less than 1km away (almost at the end of the drive) and there are great views of the sea and Holyhead Mountain from the farm. The cottage was generally clean but the floor, although it has been bkeached just before we arrived, needed cleaning again and the plastic sofas (standard in dog friendly cottages) had to be thoroughly disinfected and wiped over by ourselves before we could sit on it. Everything else was clean enough. The bathrooms were well equipped and modern but the water supply was inadequate, so if someone was using the downstairs shower or the hose outside, you'd get no water upstairs. I believe this is being addressed soon with a new mains water service from the road. Hot water was very hot. Beds were comfy and clean. Lounge windows were too dirty to see out of. This is because it rained and then the tractors kicked up a lot of dust which then stuck to the wet glass. There is a hot tub in the garden which is cleaned and refilled each week and was very pleasant. Overall - a really nice holiday cottage, run by a lovely, genuine lady. For us, it was ideal. We would definitely stay there again.

  Aurora is a lovely find, clean and comfortable has everything you need, a real home from home.

  Lovely and quiet in a residential area with friendly neighbours. The garden is great our daughter who is 7 never came inside when we were at the property and its extremly secure for your dog. The hot tub was very clean, they have lots of outside solar powered lights too looks very pretty in the evening. They have an awesome shed full of games and toys for outside or nets for taking to the beach. You are a 10 minute easy walk to the beach which is dog friendly on half of the beach ( from RNLI to the middle really) early morning you get the beach more or less to yourself if you enjoy a early morning walk or swim. Within 5 minute drive to 3 major supermarkets Aldi, Morrisons and Tesco extra but the village has a Spar too for essentials . You can walk to 3 lovely restaurants Sea Shanty ( which has pay and display next to it for the beach) Seahost and a rather expensive but great for a drink Oceans Edge. If you would like fish and chips takeaway Enochs ( prides itself in using its own blend of sunflower oil) is awesome 10 minute drive and you can order and pay online. For the restaurants I highly recommend pre booking peak season as you will struggle to get a table this can be done online also. We cooked and used the oven a couple of times as my family like my homemade pizza, I'm used to fan assisted ovens so it took me to the 3rd pizza to get my timings right lol. This is a lovely spot we really enjoyed the area butterfly farm is worth a visit and a couple of Nationsl Trust sites were a great find. There is so much to explore Cemaes is lovely with the world's largest parking ticket

  We had such a lovely week at Bryn Meilw for my birthday.

  The house was a real home from home and had pretty much everything you could need. It’s a great size, especially if there’s a few of you. The welcome basket on arrival was so thoughtful and very much appreciated. The house was spotless and so nicely decorated. The hot tub was a luxury we can now never go without! And the games room was a really nice added extra, especially for those rainy days. Steve was a pleasure to deal with beforehand, and lovely to chat with during our stay. Their 2 cats Tilly and Timmy also extended their welcome, and are without a doubt the friendliest cats you will ever come across. I was quite smitten, and sad to say goodbye! The views from the property are just perfect, watching the sunrise from the bedroom, and sunset from the patio. And if you are into astronomy, this is the perfect place. We spent a couple of clear nights stargazing, where even the Milky Way was visible. You are only a 5-10 minute walk to the nearest beach and 5 minute drive away from shops in either Trearddur Bay or Holyhead. We can’t wait to come back when the weather is a bit warmer, so we can enjoy more time outside. If we could suggest a couple of extra cheeky luxuries, it would be towelling robes for getting in and out of the hot tub, as it was quite nippy at the end of September. And better WiFi, for watching films on rainy evenings. Apart from that, we loved our stay and thank you for having us!

  Lovely little bungalow in a very quiet neighbourhood.

  Having had Trearddur Bay in my life for over 37 years (Dad lives there) I know the area like 'home'. It's a great resort at any time of the year with a fabulous sandy beach, fantastic views and a few good restuarants, all within walking distance. The bungalow itself could do with a kitchen 'upgrade'. The crockery, cutlery and cooking equipment was very good, with everything you could need, but the worktops and cooker etc were a little 'tired'. The furniture was comfortable, as was the bed. Outside was excellent. Huge garden, being a corner plot which is secure for dogs (except gap behind the garage, which our schnauzer sniffed out within 10 mins of arriving). Lots of play equipment for children too. Overlooked by 3 properties behind. The hot tub... reason for booking this actual property... whilst it is very large, perfect temperature... we were absolutely gutted as the lights were broken. We love to use the hot tub around 6pm to enjoy the lights etc. I spoke with the owner who explained the entire hot tub was broken the week before and whilst it was usable for us, the lights had not been repaired. I know this is not a major issue, but for us it certainly spoilt our enjoyment, sitting in the dark!!!! Outside lighting could be improved too as uplighting in the decking is not adequate and is blinding, whilst trying to stumble about putting the hot tub cover back on.

  This lovely two storey cottage, is situated right in the centre of a working farm.

  The owners are right on hand to help with any questions or problems that might arise. The farm is right off the beaten track near to the south stacks area of the Holy Island. The directions given are okay except for the 0.7 miles from turning right at the end of Porth Darfach road. Its around 1 1/2 miles before you see the farm sign on the peak of one of the sharp left hand bends. The views can only be described as breath taking - more so if the wind is blowing! It is wise to note that the cottage is 'upside down' that is to say the day to day living and the master bedroom and one bathroom are at the top and two bedrooms and a second bathroom are on the ground floor. The hot tub is lovely to relax in after a day out walking the many beaches, cliffs, and country parks that are all either right on the doorstep or a short drive away. Some beaches exclude dogs from March to the end of September, but we found that there is usually an area of the beach set aside where the dogs can let off. A lot of the pubs are dog friendly. All in all its a wonderful place to stay. Our 3 golden retrievers loved it!
