What our customers say about their holidays

  First and foremost I really cannot understand some of the negative reviews around the garden not being enclosed.

  We booked this house a while back before changes were made to the listing and even then it was extremely clear that the garden was not enclosed. "Dog friendly" DOES NOT and has never meant that a garden is enclosed, it just means dogs are welcome, usually subject to rules like not going on the furniture. It's up to responsible dog owners to read the information in the listing and take a view on whether their dog will be ok and/or they can make arrangements. I cannot believe the review from someone who said they left early because the garden wasn't enclosed, you've got to be pretty unintelligent to not read the listing, not look at the photos, pay the money, turn up and then say you're unhappy about something that's very clearly on the photos and in the listing. I don't actually think it's possible for fencing to be put in because there's a telegraph/electricity pylon on the drive and the owner also mows the lawn using a ride on mower so would need to be able to get in. In any case we've been travelling with our dog for 10 years and I've never seen such silly reviews about the garden not being enclosed. Even if a garden does say it's enclosed you as an owner have to make your own assessment as there's always a hole or two that the dog can find. It seems really unfair that the overall rating can be affected by these reviews. Anyway, we had an absolutely amazing time. We had been camping the week before and so had with us some fencing that we use to contain our cocker spaniel which worked perfectly for us. Other solutions available to sensible people are a stake that you can attach your dog to in the garden. You will want something because as the name suggests the house is next to the Rhosneigr train station and although there was a gate at the station you just never know. Even though we had our own fencing, we never left our dog out there alone. However, you're going to want to sit in the garden whenever the weather allows Monday-Friday to watch the planes. It really was amazing. We saw the "usual" training planes as well as F35s, Typhoons and the red arrows. I'm not even massively into planes but I found it fascinating. My husband is from an RAF family so for him it was truly amazing. We liked the house so much that we actually didn't venture far much as we didn't want to miss anything. The owner of the property obviously wants people to have a nice time. The house was spotless, beds were comfy and the TV was really really good. The kitchen was well equipped - we cooked most nights and didn't find anything we didn't have. The bathroom was modern and clean and a lovely place to have a nice bath. There's a downstairs loo and our only suggestion would be perhaps to put a sofa bed in the front sitting room and move the sofa into the living/dining room so that there's more comfy seating in there and so that people who don't/can't venture upstairs can sleep downstairs. All in all this place is fantastic and we will absolutely be back, in fact I've already checked availability for later in the year. We can't recommend this house enough.

  This is a fantastic bungalow.

  Easy walking to the beach and shops. The four bedrooms and two well furbished bathrooms were fabulous, comfy mattresses, clean modern bedding. It was warm, and light with lots of outdoor spaces to expand into if the weather is warm. Everything worked though i struggled with the hob on a couple of occasions (might have been me but not sure). The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans and cutlery. So cooks will not struggle to find what they need. But there are nice restaurants in the village and surrounding area (Oyster catcher is very nice). Miles of sandy beaches. The only negatives which would not stop me staying again were that the carpets and rugs needed a bit of a clean as they allow pets who had left some furriness behind and the parking is tight if you have two big vehicles. We managed with a tiny car and a proace verso but only just. I didn't realise/hadn't remembered there was a military airbase belonging to the RAF so the planes ahead most sunny days were a bit of a detraction for me. Great area for cycling with lots of quiet lanes.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we highly recommend this for a couple or a family up to five as the property itself and garden are quiet spacious.

  Local facilities are nearby as are the golf course, beach, shop, pubs and restaurants. There are not a lot of these as Rhosneigr is only a small town. We particularly enjoyed the training aircraft flying overhead from RAF Valley. We even saw a red Arrow ( only one ). The train station is obviously very nearby but trains are few and far between and quiet with hardly any at night. I recommend a visit to Newborough with a walk through the forest all the way to the lighthouse. We saw a red squirrel ( only one of these as well ). Beaumaris and on to Pen Mon isn't a long drive and we enjoyed a visit to Plas Newydd with it's gardens and view along the Menai Straits including Bridge. You can walk across country via the lake to the Oystercatcher without going through town. ( 30 mins ). We have been to about 30 different locations over the last 10 or so years. West Coast of Ireland, Cornwall, North West and East, Scotland mainland and islands and we found this property to be our favourite. Thankyou.

  Situated in a quiet location in the village but only 3 mins walk to a fantastic beach.

  The facilities included in the bungalow are excellent and it is a very modern, comfortable holiday home which is very well maintained. Provides an excellent base to explore the island. There are a good choice of places to eat and drink only a few minutes away. The two slight negatives about the property are the car parking, very easy to drive in but especially difficult to reverse out with a large car. There is however ample room for two cars. The other slight issue was the noise from the jets taking off and landing at RAF Valley. The end of the runway is very close to the village. This tended to be around 8am each morning and late afternoon on some of the days. Larger shops such as Morrisons, Asda and Tesco are only 20mins drive away at Bangor. A very enjoyable and relaxing stay in an excellent property and we hope to return.

  Stayed from the 10-8-24 for 1 week, myself , partner and 2 dogs.

  Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would highly recommend staying here at The Station house. Hoping to return in the near future for a longer stay. Temporary fence in the store room which is easy to assemble if you have dogs , we have 2 dogs and it was never a problem letting them out in the garden. The Station House is a lovely character property in an amazing location. We enjoyed watching the trains , also the planes from RAF Valley , especially the jet planes. Rhosneigr beach 20 minute walk or a couple of minutes drive , beaches are beautiful. Golf club near by , can go in the clubhouse for a drink and food , staff very friendly. Valley not far away and trearddur bay worth a visit. Thanks to Charles and Glen Will be booking again very soon Ian , Maxine and Rocky and Rosie ( Dogs)
