The house is decorated to a lovely standard, but was let down by the uncleanliness. Windowsills had not been wiped in a long time, with dead insects all over, dust on fireplace, sweets under the rug, cobwebs and spilt drinks behind the sofa, as well as at the front of it. Rug was also dirty, as well as hairs in the upstairs bathroom in the shower and from the shower head . Not ours as they were dark. With people having to vacate for 10am and not allowed in until 4pm, I would have expected a deep clean. Nowhere to walk the dog, which should be mentioned in the description to inform people renting. No toaster, which would be a benefit to the house. However, there were amenities close by, and if the cleanliness could be sorted with the contracted cleaners, it would be amazing!

Weather was a bonus- better than abroad! Close to great beaches and amenities. Plenty of room. Property could do with a freshen up in comparison to other sykes we have been to- (kitchen mainly) but it wouldn't stop us returning as we only use as a base for exploring. Sorry no pen to write in your guest book Thanks Sam

It was great for us and met all our needs we were a party of 6 adults, 2 toddlers an infant and a dog, we had plenty of room. There were four large bedrooms two on the ground floor and two on the upper floor both serviced with a bathroom on the ground floor and shower room on the upper floor. The livingroom comfortably hosted everyone as did the dining area. The property was clean - this is a rural property it is beside a main road but securely shuts off. Facilities wise we had everything we needed and didnât ever think it could be doing with anything. Decor wise the rooms are all nice colours but some do need a bit of a freshen up. Location wise it is excellent for touring round Angelsey. The beach at Trearddur Bay is probably closest and has all the amenities you need. There are shops and petrol stations nearby. Holyhead has major grocery shops. We travelled from here to the Zip Line at Bethesda this was our reason for coming and it was a thrilling experience. We were only here for three days but would have happily stayed longer. Would recommend.
