  The tack room is a lovely little place to stay.

  Lots to like. Great location to explore Anglesey and North Wales. Parking huge bonus. Very spacious rooms and showers were great, lots of hot water from solar panels. Plenty of equipment in kitchen and a nice little outside seating area for sunny evenings. Not overlooked and very private. Backs onto the main road but noise wasnt an issue. Our only points to note, which we had seen on previous reviews and had thought the issues might have been addressed but it turned out not so. 1) if you like lying on a dining table then you will love the king size bed. (Understand some may like a solid bed) Unfortunatly we like a bit more comfort and after 1 uncomfortable night we decided to push the twin beds together and made a huge bed for us all to sleep in. It wasnt ideal but other than finding alternative accomodation it made sleeping possible. Perhaps the owners could look at investing in a mattress topper to add some optional comfort? 2) the sofas are indeed very low (and not an option for sleeping on if you dont like the king size mattress!) it didnt fuss us so much as the kids curl up but had we taken my elderly mother she would have stuggled to get out of the seat, so I appreciate less abled peoples comments. 3) a simple bit of maintenance needs to be addressed on the kitchen units and bedroom units as the veneer is peeling off to to point of spliting and flapping about. This gives it a tired appearance and is frustrated when you catch fingers on it opening drawers trying not to rip it further! 4) When we arrived it was late evening, wet weather and cold in the cottage. The heating system is electric and set to 20.5 on a timer and locked so you cannot alter this without contacting the owner. Once it was on it soon warmed up and settled but again if we had taken my elderly mother she would have required it warmer. 5) The cleaners arrived dead on 09.30am, shame check in cant be earlier to make more of a day of holiday. 6) As stated the pool and games room are not for use of tack room guests. Which is a shame as they are seperate buildings so I can only guess the reason for it. In fact the games room is attached more to the tack room than the stables so you can hear the neighbours playing through the walls when in bed. I have written these points not as complaints but simply for improvement and guidance. We had a lovely holiday and enjoyed the cottage. If the mattress was replaced we would definitely return.

  We stayed for 3 nights to celebrate a 50th birthday and this place did not disappoint!

  Beautiful location, modern and clean property and in a great location, quiet but close enough to local amenities. This place ticked every box! We brought two large dogs who loved to run in the large, secure garden and then warm up with the underfloor heating. The kitchen is fully stocked with glasses for every need: utensils, pots, pans, chopping boards, serving platters and cleaning stuff. We did find we didn’t have any antibacterial spray or paper towels (but was more than happy to buy) so bare this in mind when doing shopping before coming! There is a mop and Hoover available to use (handy with pets) and washing up liquid, sponges and dishwasher tablets within the kitchen which was really convenient. A highchair is also provided if travelling with children.We had also been left some very delicious cakes which went down fantastically after we arrived. The bedrooms are spotless, with comfortable and large beds and amazing showers in the en-suites. The area is clean, beautiful and quiet with the occasional noise from the nearby roads (nothing major). After reading other reviews, we collected a takeaway from the local Chinese, Golden Bird. We had such a feast and is absolutely worth it’s good reputation. There are many shops within a 20min-30min drive in Bangor, Asda, Marks and Spencers, Waitrose and Lidl all easily accessible by car. If you’re looking for things to do with dogs, we visited Newborough Warren beach which is dog friendly at particular times of the year. This was around 30 minutes drive with parking practically on the beach. Would 100% recommend this stay to anyone with or without dogs. There is no doubt that we will be returning!

  A beautifully furnished and comfortable property, and in a fantastic location for access to the A55 Expressway and therefore across Anglesey and wider North Wales.

  The whole property was modern and spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and the shower amazing. Good TV and nice to have a DVD player, although I didn't use it. Kitchen facilities were excellent with everything I needed (and more, as I didn't use the dishwasher), including a great fridge freezer and washing machine. It would have been nice to have had a bit more lighting but not a major issue. Plenty of easy car parking, especially as I was the only guest at the properties. Lovely to have access to the fields to the rear and the small outside seating area, which I had been looking forward to but the weather had other ideas! As I was arriving late, the owner had made sure the lights and heating were on which was much appreciated after a very long drive. And the Christmas tree was a nice touch. My only disappointment - and this is personal preference - was the lack of a real view, although there is a view of the field from the kitchen area window, and more/ bigger windows to make it feel lighter in the lounge area. Being dull weather in December, I had to have the light on during the day. It may be different in summer.

  The cottage was really nice, it was well designed and well put together.

  Upstairs is large with a good view, we enjoyed the balcony. I hadn't anticipated the noise from the road , although it wasn't too loud. The property was clean, there were lots of cobwebs, I needed to get rid of though. Our biggest problem were the beds, they were so uncomfortable, I didn't get a decent nights sleep all week. The mattresses need replacing they are too soft and lumpy. I ached everywhere We had no problems with the WiFi and streaming Netflix etc. The freezer door wasn't shutting properly and the freezer was running constantly until my husband fixed it. There had been some sort of leakage inside, which had frozen on the outside of one of the drawers which stopped the door closing . We had difficulty finding the farm as had our neighbours. The directions took us to an older entrance. A bigger sign outside Wern farm would help. The farm is lovely and its a really nice set-up for family holidays. We were never disturbed by the farm activity . If it were not for the beds we would return, but I couldn't cope with them again
