John
The house has lots of potential and lovely but let down by a shabby look outside and inside. Standard well below other holiday homes we have rented through Sykes. No wardrobes or clothes hanging equipment in beds 2 & 3. Inadequate having space for two adults in bedroom one. Lack of chairs for 5 people. Lack of other items for 5 people. Lack of basic items in the kitchen. We addressed these shortfalls with agents and owner, who were very eager to help, but their response this was the standard for this part of UK! This house has great potential to be a holiday home, and we would certainly return if the issues were addressed. The area is lovely and well served for holidaymakers.

For example, it states a bathroom with bath..there is no bath, ( this as always something we request on the filters when booking) there aÅe 2 shower rooms. There is a smart tv nut terrestrial tv is unavailable. A garden table and parasol would be useful, should you wish to dine alfresco. There is limited wardrobe space available only in1 bedroom. We also left a couple more wine glasses.

Was really clean and well appointed. The spot in Trearddur is marvelous, far enough to be away from the hassle and bustle but close enough to walk to the beach and restaurants. A little bay is literally2 minues walk from the front door and is fabulous. Can only really swim at high tides as its rocky but it's a gorgeous spot for sitting and enjoying the view, the sunsets are immense. All in all, a perfect spot for couples or families, for action packed holidays or chilled out beach days. We'd definitely return.
