  Lovely apartment, clean, comfortable and good location.

  I would have given it 5 stars but the situation re parking needs urgent addressing so I'm onky giving 3 in the hope it will help get that sorted. When we booked the adjacent pay and display car park (owned by the Harbour Authority, who also own this apartment and the others in the complex) was advertised as costing around £5 or £6 for 24 hours. We have previously used the car park when visiting Caernarvon and budgeted accordingly. However on arrival we found the car park now costs more than triple that expected cost - almost 4 times that actually. Anyone booking until this issue is sorted should bear in mind that to park in the car park daily could add almost £150 to the price of the weeks rental. There are other parking options a reasonably short walk away but we found that quite inconvenient. Really there needs to be a parking permit included in the rental cost - owners should either up the price of rental and include a parking permit or declare this hidden cost. Overall the apartment is lovely but it is very overpriced when you factor in the extortionate parking costs. The Restaurant in the complex, La Marina was really good. We thoroughly enjoyed eating there and definitely recommend. It was very quiet most nights, probably the car park pricing is having an effect there too. The caretaker at the complex was very helpful. Told us all we needed to know, a very nice man. As other reviews have stated there is no information about how to use the appliances in the apartment. We worked it out OK, buy clearly previous residents hadn't as the dishwasher was clogged up having had the detergent tablet forced into the rinse aid compartment so maybe placing some information about how to operate things will help them last longer! Would we return? Yes - if parking issue is addressed, otherwise there are better options that are more luxurious and cost less.

  We found the property pretty much as described, private and comfortable.

  The standard of the furniture, white goods and kitchen utensils/china was excellent and the property, including the hot tub, was clean. One thing that would have been helpful, though, would have been some shelving in the shower room to better hold toiletries rather than the floor mounted boxes. There was no information provided in the property on local amenities. The gentleman who owned the property did come to the cottage on the afternoon we arrived and spent some time telling us about local restaurants and drives around the island, but information provided in this way can be more difficult to take on board. What would have been more useful would to have been to provide a pack of information, which we’ve always found useful when we’ve stayed in other Sykes properties. About four days into our stay, we came across user manuals for the microwave, dishwasher, tv etc. in one of the kitchen drawers (although the info tor the microwave was for a different model). In summary, the property very much ‘did what it said on the tin’ but there was lot of information provided on what we could not to do, but nothing on what we could do. This did not, though, prevent us spending a wonderful week in a beautiful part of the country.

  Clean, comfortable, spacious and very well appointed cottage with the added benefit of a hot tub and good parking.

  Ian and Hilary were very welcoming and close at hand if needed but otherwise their nearby presence was very discreet. Excellent location to use as a base for exploring Anglesey by car or walking to Red Wharf Bay cross country starting on a footpath that you pick up right behind the property - just walk to the bottom of the garden, turn right and straight after the large gate there is a style (somewhat overgrown!) on the left. You can then follow various footpaths and quiet country lanes to Red Wharf Bay using such as footpathmap.co.uk. My wife and I were there in peak summer holiday season so some of the car parks in the surrounding towns and villages were a bit too busy, but there is a very large seafront car park at Cemaes Bay, which is certainly worth a visit. Also there is copious parking at Amlwch where you can easily pick up the coastal path. We enjoyed a walk along that to Bull Bay, stopping off en route at the Trecastell Hotel for an excellent Sunday carvery, which is highly recommended. All in all we had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay and are very happy to recommend Glasinfryn Cottage for couples looking to spend a relaxing time on Anglesey.

  Beautiful cottage and would definitely stay again.

  Set in a quiet village away from the world and was just the escape we needed from our busy working lives. High on our list of priorities when choosing a self catering let is cleanliness and location and this let did not disappoint! It was immaculate and everything clean and tidy. Lots of nice walks nearby and on Anglesey you are never more than a short ride from the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the hot tub with a glass (plastic of course) of wine listening to the birds in the garden. We popped out for an afternoon to Beaumaris and enjoyed exploring some of the nearby beaches. On our way back to the Cottage we stopped off at Benllech for seafood and purchased dressed crab at the Crab Shop. Highly recommended too. We would definitely stay again and thank you for having us.

  Wow! 7 days of sunshine staying at Caeau Bach on the beautiful Llyn Peninsula... just perfect. This is probably the most relaxing holiday we have had. The location is stunning, the views are amazing, the house and garden are so well maintained and luxurious. We feel privileged to have spent a week here and would like to say a big thank you to the owners who have made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Although we have visited Llyn Peninsula many many times we have enjoyed exploring the windy lanes leading to the most gorgeous villages in this area. We recommend The Sun Inn in Llangenan if you like to eat in a traditional style pub. Friendly staff and great food. We will miss sitting on the bench each evening, with a glass of something cold, watching the sunset. Until next time.... thank you
