  We were very disappointed with this property.

  Whilst we had been advised that the owners were trying to get replacement furniture for the living room (and left a bottle of fizz to compensate) we felt that it did not live up to its advertised features. On arrival the living room furniture looked decidedly tatty and the suite had a distinct musty smell about it. When we tried to air the room it was difficult to get the patio doors open and impossible to open the windows. The room is spacious but needs a serious make over. Of the four bedrooms; the two doubles were cramped and the two singles had no heating. Housekeeping needs to pay attention; there was a considerable amount of dust under one of the double beds and when we had to retrieve the cable for the bedside lamp it came with a string of felt like dust which looked like it had been in residence for some time. The ledges in the bathroom were also covered in a sticky dust like substance. Another major failing at this property; do not turn up with two cars and expect to be able to have off road parking as they claim. There is space for only one medium sized car and parking on the road is difficult at best, even in October, so will probably be chaotic in summer. We booked this property for this October and again next August to bring the kids and grandchildren. On the basis of what we experienced this year we have cancelled next year's booking. Over the years we have stayed in several excellent properties in Rhosneigr but will not be returning to Arkoo.This property has great potential but in its current state is definitely not good value for money.

  The location of the property is fantastic being so close to the beach and also in the lovely town of Rhosneigr.

  The facilities were good and the property itself was quite large however; the property would benefit from having some money spent on it and the cleaning, especially in a Covid-19 environment should have been better. The mattresses were old and uncomfortable, sagging in places and meaning we were unable to sleep in the same bed. Elsewhere there were signs of damp and the property smelt strongly of it (to the extent that we washed all of our clothes when we returned home even those we didn’t wear). Additionally, the furniture in the lounge was very old and uncomfortable. The settees were heavily worn with rips and worn material and the cushions were worn thin. Cleaning could have been more thorough and when we arrived we had to clean the microwave which had food splashed in it and the cooker. Additionally, there was dust on all picture frames and in the bathroom, there is a small ledge where the plaster meets the tiles and this was full of dust. Overall this didn’t give us the confidence that the property had been cleaned thoroughly and so we spent the first two hours cleaning it ourselves. Overall we enjoyed our holiday and we would return to Arkoo but only if the property had some money spent on it as in our book, a comfortable nights sleep is the minimum you should expect.

  The house was perfect for our family gathering.

  We had everything we needed. The showers/bathrooms were perfect, the bedrooms were very comfortable and had enough space and storage. Plenty of seating down stairs for everyone. The garden was a good area, seating in all the sun spots during the day and most importantly the garden was safe and secure for children and dog. What I especially liked was there were little cooking gadgets in the kitchen that you don't usually find such as a sandwich toaster, slow cooker and an electric hand whisk. Great if you wanted to cook or make something. And the main attraction, it's round the corner from the beach. Absolutely perfect, the children loved it.

  Ty Taid was everything, and more, that we asked for!

  The accommodation was spacious, well laid out and the kitchen had everything you'd need. It was like a 'kitchen from home'. The bedrooms were comfortable and the outdoor shower extremely useful when bringing 4 children plus a sausage dog back from the beach. It's close proximity to the beach and local shops also made it a winner. We've stayed in Anglesey now 3 times, and this was definitely the best! So much so, we're already looking to book again for next year. Thank you for a fantastic holiday. If you could now just arrange for a little less rain and for the temperature to be turned up a little, that would be great!

  Great spot and lovely and clean but the following detracted from being able to rate it higher - 1.

  The beds are really small and narrow. We all struggled with them. 2. The en-suite needs a system for getting out the dampness - it soon smelt even though we left the door open and aired the room for hours. 3. The table was really tight for 8 even with 2 of them being children. 4. A cafetière so guests can have fresh coffee or a a Nespresso machine. 5. A couple more black bin bags as when we realised we needed to empty the bin it was too late to go to the spa to purchase any. 6. Be warned the extractor fan is low - at head height and we each at some point managed to bang our heads on it.
