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.

  In general the small bungalow was ok, though 5 would be a squash.

  The corridors and kitchen are so narrow. The bathroom needs upgrading and cleaned more thoroughly, but all in all it was fairly clean, though radiators and kettle and a few other things had stains and dust on them, which didn't fill me with confidence the beds were ok, so glad I'd taken my own pillow. None of that compared to the 'track' to reach the property. It was basically a stream, with all the pot-holes, ruts, grooves and debilitated tarmac that would have destroyed my car's exhaust and wheel bearings. I had to park on the main road and walk everything up to the bungalow (5 trips) with an adult with special needs and a dog in extreme heat was NOT a good start to our break. This really needs mentioning and I am appalled it was not made clear. Saying the track was 'tight' does not mention if you value your car, please don't try this. Once in and sorted, the decking was pleasant to sit. We hadn't experienced a hot tub. Chlorine kept getting in my eyes, so turned off bubbles and much better, but still, a hot bath outside...? We enjoyed the many 'treats' left for us, my daughter especially enjoyed the chocolate.

  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!

  A fantastic stay at Valley Pines.

  Communication before and during was excellent. Everything you could want in a holiday home. Kitchen completely kitted out with everything you need. Beds very comfortable. Shower nice and hot. Lovely welcome touches, welcome basket, milk in fridge even a pumpkin, carving kit and packets of sweets to give out to trick and treaters as we were there over Halloween. A perfect base.. We explored the whole island whilst we were there and benefitted from some blue skies and sunny dry days. Unexpected in November but definitely added to our enjoyment of the week. There are some amazing beaches nearby and some lovely hidden bays to the north. The Hidden Wales book on the shelf came in very useful. We didn't make full use of the garden, which is very big and also has everything you need, as it was dark by 6pm. We loved Anglesey! Thank you, we will be back.

  Great home, the garden was fantastic.

  Brilliant location. We loved the garden so much it really made our stay especially with the weather we had, the hot tub is amazing! Only 5 min walk to shops and restaurants chippy etc. Only downside was the cleaning. At first glance it looked clean however after living there it’s clear it needs a deep clean, the shower had black mould, the fireplace was filthy, just generally needed a deep clean, under the sofas and furniture not been cleaned for a long time. The dog found a ball covered in dust and fluff under the lounge furniture We did bleach the mould off and wiped the fireplace the cloth was black, not the owners fault but I would recommended getting a better housekeeper. Also check out says 11am in book but the hot tub man told us it’s 10am so book needs updating! We would stay again though easy fixes for the cleaning!
