About this property
Swn Y Mor is a detached home situated in an elevated position offering unrivalled sea views within a quaint cul-de-sac in Benllech, Anglesey. With a close link to a range of amenities including the beach, shops and a pub, this property is the ideal destination for a family holiday. Outside, there is ample parking on an off-road driveway, so parking up and unloading couldn’t be easier and stepping into the property, guests are struck by the light and space the accommodation offers. The spacious sitting room is a real social hub of the property, ideal for gathering together on the plush corner sofa in front of the feature fireplace and the TV. The adjoining kitchen is well-equipped with all that’s needed to be able to whip up a culinary storm, with the dining room next door all set up ready to host long, leisurely dinner parties, just perfect for memorable evenings on holiday. Should the sun be shining, then step outside into the enclosed gardens, ideal for kids and animals to run around safely, while adults can take a seat on the raised terrace area, pour themselves a glass of their favourite tipple, and enjoy some alfresco socialising. When it’s time to go to bed, guests can choose from a convenient ground-floor double or an upstairs king-size or twin. The king-size enjoys wonderful far-reaching sea views and is the perfect spot for resting weary heads after a tiring day of getting out and about.

We all liked the fact it seemed recently renovated, parking was easy, with plenty of kitchen equipment and enough sofa space, for three adults and two children not to be on top of each other. My niece loved playing with the toys from the toy-box and spying on ships with the binoculars! The upstairs bedrooms and ensuite were a particular highlight- fresh, cosy and modern. We all gave a thumbs up for how comfy the beds were, as thatâs often not the case when on holiday. We all liked the bedding and fluffy towels too. Iâve stayed in many four/five rated cottages over the years and I think the house is up there, butâ¦thereâs always a but! Level of cleaning: There were short dog hairs all over the scatter cushions and a few long human ones in the living area and on the throw on the bed downstairs and on the duvet. This meant my first thirty minutes when arriving was locating the hoover and hoovering the sofa and picking off dog hairs off the bed. The hoover itself smelled of wet dog and was filthy. I like dogs by the way, so this isnât an anti-dog moan, if the house allows pets it needs to be thoroughly cleaned, along with a good dust on the downstairs headboard/ furniture, all the window sills and moving objects in the kitchen counter not wiping round them. It looked like it had just had a quick hoover. If you canât check in until 4pm, I expected it to be spotless. A few suggestions by the other adults staying, in no particular order! The T.V. needs to be connected to the aerial so the âFreeviewâ / live T.V. can be watched. Itâs odd it isnât as itâs easy to do, especially as there is an aerial socket. You donât always want to watch subscription channels. It would be a great help if guest pack had help in how to use the Nest heating thermostat. Saves âGooglingâ it ! You want the least effort in doing things when you are on holiday, not looking for aerials in the roof or mauals. A welcome pack⦠or just a pint of milk. More tea-towels. We had one. Iâm sure the review sounds like we are fuss pots, thatâs not the case, itâs just the house is lovely and could be amazing if the cleaning and tech was easier. Having said all of that, Iâve rebooked, canât be that bad eh? Letâs hope the hairs have gone and a new hoover has been purchased!!!

Very well equipped with everything we needed. Added extras made the stay very comfortable. The location of the property, close to Benllech beach, was an added bonus We would certainly look to book again in the future Thank you to the hosts
