Dune Retreat is a well-received holiday cottage in Ty Croes, praised for its great location, cleanliness, and comprehensive facilities. Guests appreciate the secure garden, ample space, and the property's proximity to beaches and local amenities. While some minor issues were noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it very clean on arrival. However, there are comments suggesting the need for a deeper clean in certain areas, particularly towards the end of the season.

The location is highly regarded, with guests enjoying the short walks to Rhosneigr, proximity to beaches, and local shops. The presence of RAF planes and a nearby train track is noted, but does not significantly detract from the overall positive reception of the location.

Comfort is well-received, with the property providing ample room and a secure garden. However, some guests mention issues with the sofa's size and comfort, and the stairs may pose a challenge for those with mobility issues.

Facilities are generally praised, with the property offering everything needed for a stay. Critiques include the lack of handrails on stairs, problematic door locks, and non-functional extractor fans. Despite these points, the overall feedback on facilities is positive.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

Tucked away in the village of Llanfaelog, a short mile from the popular seaside resort of Rhosneigr, Dune Retreat is a wonderful holiday home from which to explore the true delights of Wales. Resting just a stone's throw away from the awe-inspiring Isle of Anglesey coast, this homely abode makes a wonderful choice for a family escape to the seaside. Step inside this gorgeous home-away-from-home and be greeted by an airy open-plan living space, playing host to a well-designed kitchen, fully equipped and boasting modern amenities such as an integrated dishwasher and a Nespresso coffee machine, as well as a sociable dining area with seating for seven, and a restful sitting area where you can relax and unwind with a movie in the delightful ambient lighting following a fun-filled day. Discover a handy utility room featuring a washer/dryer to refresh your wardrobe, with the benefit of a cloakroom, as well as an inviting snug where you escape the excitement and enjoy an hour of peace and quiet as you delve into a captivating book, or let the television do the entertaining. Up on the first floor you’ll find ample storage to house your belongings, as well as three beautifully-appointed bedrooms, a bunk room, suitable for adults and children alike, as well as a king-size room, and a final super-king-size room, benefitting from its very own en-suite with dual head power shower, for an invigorating steam. Across the way lies a contemporary family bathroom boasting a bath with an overhead power shower, presenting guests with the option of a long soak in the tub or a quick morning rinse. Outside, bifold doors open out onto an enclosed garden, where guests can take pleasure in warm summer days basking in the sunshine with a seat on the patio, whilst the children play happily on the lawn with their four-legged friends. Outdoor adventurers will be delighted with the secure storage shed located on the development, where you can house bikes, surf boards and beach going essentials as not to take up space in the house. Known for its vast coastline and picturesque views, the area is filled with an abundance of exciting hiking routes and beautiful sugar sand beaches offering fantastic days out for the whole family to enjoy. Be sure to visit the neighbouring visit of Rhosneigr, a popular spot for surfing, or why not head on over to Holy Island and take the iconic steps down to the incredible RSPB South Stack, home to an imposing lighthouse and unrivalled seascapes. See the Neolithic burial chambers of Barclodiad y Gawres, or travel across to Caernarfon to see the impressive architecture of Caernarfon Castle, a World Heritage Fortress that rests on the Afon Seiont. Over in Bangor the National Trust owned Penrhyn Castle makes for a fantastic day out, whilst further inland, there's plenty of Fun to be had in Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park. Indulge in some fresh seafood at The Oyster Catcher restaurant, only half a mile away from Dune Retreat, as you delight in an evening of wining and dining with your loved ones, or stop off at the local supermarket on return to the cottage to pick up some ingredients ahead of a quiet night in. With so much to see and do throughout your stay, Dune Retreat is the ultimate setting for your next family holiday to Wales.

    My only piece of feedback would be check in and out times could be a little more flexible … 3pm is a little late, I think more 1-2 would be better and 10am to check out a tad too soon We will definitely return !!

    ? And too low. Will look at another rental next visit to Rhosneiger

  • Cathy

    En-suite bathroom and cloakroom WC need a deep clean (we are towards end of season though). Shower heads were really grungy and toilet seat hinges were not nice as were toilet brushes. Extractor fans In en suite didn’t work. Bedding and towels were all really clean. Kitchen didn’t need anything that wasn’t provided and extremely functional. Owners property file was first class! Garden very sheltered and absolute sun trap with lovely furniture . We could have done with a heads up regarding low flying aircraft (raf valley) very noisy but that was the same all over the area and the train track at the bottom of the garden. Overall a fantastic property just needed a more thorough cleaning but didn’t spoil our holiday but don’t think it reflected the price
