What our customers say about their holidays

  We stayed at this property at the beginning of September and were really looking forward to our first family holiday with our 11 week old little girl and our cockapoo, Seb!

  When we arrived at the property we were greeted with a bin that was full to the brim of rubbish and an old oven that had been left on the driveway in full view. When walking into the house, there was an empty cardboard box in the hallway, coffee stains on the table, finger marks on the microwave and other kitchen appliances and finger/hand prints all over the windows in the kitchen and upstairs in the living area. The highchair was full of food and stained, yuck. It was as if someone hadn’t even bothered to clean it properly after the last people. There was an empty shower gel bottle in the shower, hair on the floor and the most disgusting bathroom fan I have ever seen. The property needs a thorough deep clean as it was disgusting and although we have been given some compensation, I seriously hope the owners of the property do something about it for the next people who stay there. It could be a lovely property as the views are amazing and the location is just perfect but needs a bit of a revamp and as mentioned before, cleaning!!!

  Dunes is a gorgeous house in such an amazing location, I loved sitting on that sheltered balcony in all weathers, taking in the stunning views.

  I was a bit nervous about cleanliness after some of the previous reviews, but it was absolutely not an issue. We did have a lot of problems with the heating and hot water, and although I don't want to complain too much as these things do happen and I can't fault the efforts of the Menai Holiday Cottages team to get it resolved for us, February is not the best month to be without either. There were a lot of cold showers and having to get in bed just to warm up afterwards. Installing an electric shower in one of the 4 bathrooms just as a backup might be useful if this happens regularly. Furnishings and decor are a bit basic, my bed was rather uncomfortable and the lack of headboard meant I was retrieving my pillows from the gap all week, but the size and location make it a winner and we'd definitely love to come back - in warmer weather :)

  Old oven still on drive along with a skip!

  Looks clean at first glance but not on closer inspection. Needs a proper deep clean. Holes in bedroom doors. Vent in en-suite filthy. Old bottles, toys & tissues etc in garden. Grass needs cutting. Windows etc need cleaning. Shower cubicle door upstairs off its rails. No wardrobe or accessible space to hang cloths in king bedroom. Under sink cupboard filthy. Floors need a hoover & mop. Generally looks and feels unloved. Sykes promised me these issues would be sorted before my guests arrived and they weren’t as I read previous weeks reviews. Very disappointing. The only plus is the location. It’s perfect.

  A perfect property for a family so close to the beach.

  We particularly enjoyed sitting outside to take in the view of the beach and sea, as well as lovely walks nearby. Perfect for families with dogs, although the listing gave conflicting information about whether dogs were welcome. House generally clean although verandah was rather shabby with bird droppings and couldn't access the garage because of huge bin and disused oven outside the door. Very comfortable and warm house with all basic facilities. Owner, Jun, was extremely helpful in acquiring a travel cot for us. Thanks again, Jun. We had a lovely holiday and will certainly book again in future.

  Dunes is a fabulous holiday home.

  The location is superb just a minute walk from the beach and 10 minutes from the shops and eateries. Viewing the sunset from the the balcony was our favourite time of the day. The cottage itself was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. The only negative was the lack of instructions for the rubbish which ended up with the refuse collectors not taking it away. The disused oven is still there too.
