Min Y Don is highly praised for its stunning views, cleanliness, and comfortable amenities. Guests appreciate the thoughtful welcome packs and the property's prime location for exploring North Wales and Anglesey. While most reviews are positive, a few mention minor maintenance issues and the need for updates.
The majority of guests report the property as very clean, with only a single mention of a need for a deeper clean, particularly in the shower area. The high standard of cleanliness is consistently noted.
The location is universally acclaimed for its breathtaking views and convenience to local attractions, with easy access to both Anglesey and Snowdonia. The serene setting and proximity to amenities contribute to its high rating.
Guests find the property comfortable, noting the quality of the beds and the relaxing atmosphere. However, a few guests mention that the sofas are uncomfortable and past their best, slightly affecting the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-equipped kitchen. Some guests, however, point out issues such as a blocked shower drain, difficulty with patio doors, and a need for refurbishment, indicating room for improvement.
Many guests express gratitude for the welcome packs, which include items like wine and cake. These gestures are highly appreciated, although it should be noted that such gifts, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

We have been twice before and weâve booked again for 2026. Itâs such a super comfy place, beautifully decorated and with the added bonus of a big balcony with amazing views right over the Menai Straits. The owners Peter and Victoria emailed us with any info needed and with their phone numbers incase of any issues, which was a lovely touch. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/oven trays everything you need for a self catering stay, which in some homes weâve stayed before, you get just the basic, but here I donât need to bring anything from home. There was a pint of milk in the fridge, tea/coffee and sugar provided and the lovely touch was a bottle of wine left for us. Parking is no issue, there is plenty in front of the house. The balcony is just amazing, just sitting there watching the boats go by and the birdlife is fabulous. We saw a seal catch a huge fish which took him a long time to eat, so had a good view which we loved. Even if the weather isnât kind, you still get a great view from the big sliding door. 5 minute walk away is the little marina/ lock which has a pub/bar and a great cafe called Swellies right by the boats. If you want peace and quiet and a fantastic place to unwind, then Min Y Don is perfect. Lots of great places to visit, we love Beaumaris, Dinis Dinelle Beach near Caernarfon airport and RAF Valley is a short drive away to watch planes fly aswell.

We had all the kitchen equipment we could need, comfortable sofas and a view to die for. The whole area has so much to offer, and we were out and about every day during our two week stay. We were so lucky with the weather, - sunshine every day. Our only problem was not being able to get the bathroom towel rail to work, but that was a fairly minor thing. Thank you for letting us use your property.
