  This cottage is like a tardis.

  It’s much bigger than the pictures show. Light spacious kitchen and very well equipped and lovely views from the bedroom window. I found the bed to be really comfortable.l and the upstairs toilet was really good to save keep going downstairs during the night. The wood burner in the lounge is really good and much needed as it was cold for May. It would be good to have the option of a curtain between the lounge/diner and kitchen to help keep the heat in though. Lovely, quirky decor throughout and it felt like the owners had put a lot of thought into every piece of furniture/ornament. Please note that the garden is not fully enclosed for dogs. The photo shows a wooden gate at the back however in reality it is a metal gate and our little dogs could easily have escaped so we kept them on leads. Also the sliding door from the kitchen was really difficult to slide open as it gets stuck a lot. We struggled to get the key safe open too - it took a lot of attempts before it finally clicked open. You can park outside but that does block the view through the lounge window and you have to pull in very tight to the house so traffic can get past. The cottage is in a great position close to some lovely beaches and it’s easy to get around the whole of Anglesey. It was fairly clean however I’m really fussy especially as dogs are allowed so I did clean it all myself with cleaning products I took with me and also gave it a thorough clean before I left. All in all a lovely cottage and deceptively spacious.

  The cottage was comfortable and very tastefully decorated with a great location.

  Unfortuantely, the cleanliness of the cottage was very disappointing and in the light of COVID 19. I was actually horrified to find wine glasses with lip marks and grease on them, spoons with food on them in the cutlery drawer ! Bowls that were greasy in the cupboard. A black pubic hair on the back of the toilet before we used the downstairs toilet!! The couch buttons had food, hair & dirt in the couch buttons, and we had to clean the whole couch as well. Dust everywhere on all the ledges, window sills, picture frames ect light switches were all dirty this all indicated that the cottage had not been cleaned adequately. As we had made a long journey and were looking forward to our stay, we made the decision to clean the whole of the cottage for fear of contamination, using antibacterial wipes and sprays. Washing all of the cutlery, dishes surfaces etc this took around 2 hours which was a very dismal start to our holiday. Whilst we understand that it is out of the control of the owner, we feel that we should have been forewarned that a major re-build was ongoing in the attached next door cottage and the drilling and noise from the builders started very early in the morning and continued throughout the day. We have photographic evidence of all our complaints and will in the light of our experience not be booking with Sykes cottages again. If you send me a email link, I will attach the images and video evidence.

  We had a lovley time at Merywen cottage; the cottage is well situated within the town walls with easy access to the centre.

  The street is quiet and you wouldn't know you were in the town centre. Parking is at a premuim and so we parked on Mount Pleaseant which is just around the corner and paid a daily rate. Get the pay by phone app and just update as required. The house was comfortable and clean with all the nesseasary items you'd need and the Bara brith that Rhiannon left us in the welcome basket was great with a cuppa. The towels and bedding were changed for week 2 and Alistair and Rhiannon text to check all was OK or if we needed anything. The balcony at the top is a good vantage point to watch people on the walls and relax when the weather permits. All in all I'd recommend this as a lovely place to stay. There is easy access to the wall from the end of the street, easy access to a childrens park off ditch street and walks into the woods for the dog, then return along the estuary wall and into town. The food at the Erskin was good and the cakes from the bakery at the bottom. Also the food from Edwards were good. we can recommend the Jalsa tandoori and we had to bring the main back as the starters filled us. From Conwy you are within easy reach of the Snowdonia national park and the costal towns, it's a good centre to explore from.

  We had the most fantastic stay here at Granar.

  The house itself exceeding our expectations-it was very high spec and well thought out, a perfect place to be with family/friends. It was very quiet and peaceful and not too far from local attractions etc…the only thing to be aware of when booking is that you can’t walk out anywhere so you do have to drive everywhere. Also, I would suggest to do your research about pubs/restaurants nearby as we struggled with this (not sure if it was covid related or just not a lot around that would let you book) The only other thing that disappointed us was that we had planned our last afternoon to be at the house, in the hot tub and upon our return we found that it had been emptied therefore it was cold. We have never been anywhere before that has done this so we were a little shocked! It would have been good to know this happened before. However, as we have said before everything else was fantastic so definitely don’t be put off by the only negative. The scenery is also incredible and we would 100% recommend this property.

  We have just come home from a wonderful week in this beautiful cottage.

  It is probably one of the best we have stayed in if I am being honest and we holiday at anglesey every year so we have stayed in alot! It is very deceiving from the outside it just looks like a small terrace but once you step inside it's like walking in to a tardis it's huge! And it has everything that you could possibly need for your stay. We loved the wood burner to keep us toasty warm in the evenings while we watched netflix or flicked through the great selection of books they have all about anglesey. The beds and bedding were all very comfortable and cozy! My favourite thing to do was pull back the curtain and sit and have a cup of tea in bed watching the birds and enjoying the amazing view out of the little front bedroom window of a morning. We cannot wait to come back again!
