Rhoscolyn is a small settlement with a church and elementary school located three miles from Trearddur Bay on Holy Island. With its slipway, ideal for small dinghies and motor boats, and sheltered cove, Rhoscolyn's beach is a popular family destination throughout the summer. It also has a good pub on the lane leading to the beach, which is well-known for its gourmet food. In addition, there are numerous cliff-top walks and a plethora of animals, including seals, can be observed on the headland. For those who don't mind driving a little farther out to the village of Valley (about two miles away), you'll also find a post office, chemist, and several places to eat. And just a few miles away, on the island's western coast, is the charming seaside resort of Trearddur Bay. If you're looking for more than just shops and restaurants in the town of Trearddur Bay, you'll find a wide selection of attractions in Holyhead, including a very well-equipped leisure centre and a marina, as well as the second-longest breakwater in the world. Summertime activities include watersports, bathing, sailing, windsurfing, and horseback riding, as well as golfing at the superb Holyhead 18-hole links course, and birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse rspb Reserve. This is a great place to visit because there is so much to do!

I swept up when we arrived and have a photo of the pile of dirt & dog hair. Totally unacceptable. We found our clothes covered in dog hairs from the furniture all weekend and with young children did not want them crawling on such dirty floors, they hadnât been swept let alone mopped. Very disappointing when the house was lovely, hugely let down by the disgraceful state of the floor.

Arrival was 6pm and we called needing to know the whereabouts of the travel cot that was listed. After 20 minutes wait Sykes wouldnât take the call from my daughter in law (mother of the baby) as she hadnât made the booking, so I had to call back and have the 20 minute wait. Raffy was then not able to give any useful information so left us with baby at bedtime with no cot. Nobody called back to shed light on the issue. I had to source a cot locally. Not the home owners fault but very disappointing agent support.

Lovely location, quiet, near coastal path, garden. Wow factor. Perfect for our family. For Sykes only I managed to speak to Max at Sykes on day we arrived and he was really helpful to extend our departure time. I tried to extend it from 9am for about a month, but it was very hard to contact Sykes by email, call etc as everything went back to FAQs online not a person. I really appreciate the help to extend checkout time - it made our holiday.
