Guests say
1 Tirionfa in Holyhead offers a delightful stay with its excellent location near the beach and a garden that's both child and pet-friendly. Guests appreciated the welcome pack and the property's ample space for families. While some maintenance issues were noted, the charm of the cottage and its setting provided a lovely break for visitors.
Several reviews mentioned the need for a deeper clean, citing cobwebs, dust, and dog hairs. These recurring comments suggest that cleanliness could be improved.
The property's location is highly praised for being close to the beach and its suitability for both children and pets, indicating a very desirable setting.
The house is described as lovely and spacious, but some comfort issues like a broken bed rail and missing stair gate parts were reported, slightly diminishing the overall comfort.
Guests reported several maintenance issues, including unfit oven trays, a broken tumble dryer, and missing fridge parts. However, the property still provided a pleasant stay.
The welcome pack with wine and biscuits was well-received, showing thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed for every stay, this is a pleasant bonus rather than a standard offering.

On the western side of Holy Island is Trearddur Bay. It's breathtaking, with a wide expanse of low grassland shoreline punctuated by rocky bays and fine sand beaches (European Blue Flag). In the summer, swimming, sailing, and windsurfing are the major activities, and golfers will appreciate the superb Holyhead 18-hole links course. It's a terrific location for nature enthusiasts with abundance of rock pools, cliff top treks, and renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse rspb Reserve. Trearddur Bay itself has stores, bars, and restaurants, but Holyhead, which is close by, has a bigger selection of services. These include a first-rate leisure facility, an eye-catching harbour front, a marina, the second-longest breakwater in the world, and thrilling ferry rides to Dublin. You can enjoy hikes in the lovely Holyhead Breakwater Country Park and a fantastic cafe at the Maritime Museum in Holyhead. The lovely Newborough, with its wonderful woodland and beach, and Beaumaris, with its town and castle, are both located further away. a fantastic location with lots to do and see!

We had a couple of comments as below: 1. Only one oven tray that would fit in the ovens, with 12 guests was difficult. 2. Heater on tumble drier not working, drier took hours to dry very small load thereby using significantly more energy to dry clothes. 3. A number of cups and bowls had small chips. 4. Curtain rail in bunk bed room fell down as it was poorly fitted. 5. Clothes line or maiden would have been beneficial. 6. Freezer section of fridge/freezer not working although there was a separate freezer. The group really enjoyed their stay at the property and the points above didnât impact on the enjoyment of the holiday.

However,as has been reported by others before the staircase had parts missing which made it not fit for purpose. There were a lot of cobwebs and on the last night when someone pulled back their duvet completely they found a lot of dog hairs at the foot of the bed. We did not have a dog with us. Also on the last night we realised that on of the twin beds in the loft had a broken side rail that was being supported on bricks and had slipped off the bricks. Some of the oven trays supplied did not fit inside the ovens. The cafetiere was full of used coffee grounds from previous occupancy. It is worth noting that at the end of the lawn there is a three foot drop on to a gravel path so small children need supervising as there is no barrier.
