The location is highly praised for its fantastic views and proximity to local amenities and attractions. It serves as a great base for exploring Anglesey and the North Coast of Wales.
Guests consistently mention the comfort of the beds and the cosy layout of the property. The presence of multiple bathrooms and the spaciousness of the house contribute to a comfortable stay.
The property is well-equipped with a kitchen that satisfies cooking needs and a garden that's appreciated by both children and pets. However, there have been several mentions of issues with the hot tub and other maintenance visits during stays, which impacts the score.

This fab holiday house is a short drive from the two popular Anglesey coastal towns of Beaumaris and Menai Bridge. Both offer shops, pubs and great places to eat. Activities, attractions and so much to see and do is close by.
This delightful town sits right on the edge of the Isle of Anglesey and is home to one of two bridges to mainland Wales. It is an ideal base for a holiday and is great for exploring this beautiful island. It has a strong history which can be discovered in the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum, the well known Saint Tysilio lived on Church Island, just off of Anglesey in the 9th century, hence the name of the 14th century St. Tysilio's Church. Menai Bridge itself offers a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. In terms of entertainment, this is an ideal spot with something for everybody, there is the butterfly palace 'Pili Palas' which is incredibly popular with families, as well as the astounding Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens well worth a walk around. The Snowdonia National Park is within driving distance for you outdoor enthusiasts, it has wonderful walking, cycling and opportunities to see some beautiful sights.

" A perfect location to explore the rest of Anglesey. The house was perfect for us with good fishing locally. After visiting National trust properties in the area we would get back for a good soak in the hot tub. We did have a problem with hot tub, but when we rang Sykes it was all sorted in a matter of hours. 10 out of 10 for this. Bedrooms were spacious and the views over the Menai were awesome We watched the red squirrels that were in the trees at the side of this property. We loved our stay and we had a week of great weather. I would definitely return to Cae Gallt, it was very impressive.

The views are out of this world and to sit with a morning brew and watch the boats go off up the straits is one of lifeâs simple pleasures! The house is of a good standard and very comfortable - big enough for family get togethers! The log fire is something to behold! The central heating is superb and you will not be cold! There were, however, a few issues with the property particularly the showers - the owners and Sykes are aware and I am sure they will be addressed in a timely fashion! Would we return to this property - YES!

30pm on arrival and must leave the property at 9.30am on leaving ( which is like losing a whole day of you holiday) you would think the place was spotless but unfortunately not, cobwebs on the light fitting, tea stains and dust on the recliner chairs, dust on skirting boards, and on top of the panelling in downstairs bathroom, dirty towel and dressing gown etc and as if that wasn't enough you wanted us to strip the beds before leaving at 9.30am. The rental on the house wasn't cheap and don't get me wrong the house and surroundings were beautiful and there was everything that you needed but the issues I have brought up just spoilt it for us.
