• "Our party ranged from 3 months to 84 years of age."

  We had an amazing holiday in this lovely holiday cottage. We had plenty of evenings in the hot tub relaxing after a hard day at the beach. The views were spectacular from the hot tub. The bedrooms were big and comfy after a long day. We had lovely evenings playing games in the front room. If you have teenagers the upstairs living room is ideal. The owners are friendly. helpful and available if you need anything. I would definitely recommend Hen Gilfach for large family gatherings.

• "We had an amazing stay at this holiday cottage!"

  The views are absolutely stunning, and the hot tub is a perfect spot to relax while soaking it all in. The garden is spacious and perfect for the kids to run around and play. The house itself is so well-stocked with everything you could possibly need, and the beds are incredibly comfy! Can't recommend this place enough for a relaxing getaway.

  The children especially loved the hot tub, but the adults enjoyed it too! The garden was great for the little ones to run around in and the view was superb. We would book this again.

  The house is delightful with wonderful views and everything we needed as a family group of 11 from 7 to 60. The hot tub was well worth the extra and lots of fun was had by all. We would definitely book again.

• "Despite being a well presented property in am amazing lication it is not suitable for families with babies in arms, toddlers or teen boys."

  Too many breakables for small children and fussy accessories to keep out of the way of active children. The hot tub and upstairs sitting room were a huge benefit for the young adults and older children. Garden while lovely not safe/suitable for toddlers. Kitchen well stocked but surprisingly no oven gloves which led to burnt fingers and an accident! The owner was not sympathetic! It is a shame that our holiday was marred by the failure to amicably agree with the owners over accidental breakages which we are more than willing to recompense them for where liability was accepted.

• "We loved staying in Hen Gilfach."

  There was plenty of space for family and friends. It was very cosy staying in the house when the weather didn’t allow us to be outside. Beautiful spot and so peaceful with see views of such a lovely part of the island. There had been a little problem with the boiler, which was a little smelly but Tracey did her best to solve this so we could stay. Many thanks and would love to come back!

• "*Positives* Gorgeous location the views were amazing."

  The house is well equipped and plenty of room for a large group of people. The grandchildren loved the garden and play area and the hot tub was a huge hit for all of us. The BBQ isn't built in as it suggests but we did have a BBQ on a good weather day with the small stand alone BBQ provided. It was a lovely base for lots of laughs and the niggles were soon forgotten and we had a lovely family holiday. * Niggles * This was a group family holiday for a 60th birthday celebration. We had a disappointing start as the narrow track to the house has a huge lip on it at the top of the lane which scraped the bottom of the car. You ideally need a 4 X 4 or a higher car than ours is. There was no little welcome pack not even a bottle of milk which after a long drive we were gasping for a cuppa. We had only been given one towel each when we needed a bath and hand towel each. (Tracy brought more to us once we asked. ) The dishwasher was out of action and due to be repaired on the Monday but actually didn't get sorted until the Thursday. (Unforseen circumstance so not the owners fault) The hob had 6 rings but only two working but once reported Tracy was very quick to respond and sort it as best as she could. And brought cakes as an apology so the niggles were acted upon thank you for that. The listing said hot tub AND swim spa...but there was only a hot tub. You couldn't swim in the hot tub *Suggestions* Have a recycling box at the property to make it easier to carry it to the collection point at the top of the hill. Ensure a welcome pack is provided with a few teabags, coffee sachets, milk and sugar at the very least. A welcome " book" would be useful with instructions for the house amenities. Suggestions on where to go for milk and bread if needed. We found the coffee shop that was also a hairdressers and post office but only by asking a local otherwise it is a long trek to Holyhead. *Summary " Having said all this we had a wonderful holiday, a chance to be together and catch up , and we would still recommend this regardless. Tracy was very helpful in resolving our concerns.Lots to see and do. The boat trips from Beaumaris were enjoyable. Puffin island and the bridges was good (though not always puffin season)! Beaumaris castle and town, Anglesey sea zoo was well worth it , Church Bay had a lovely little beach very close by, and we enjoyed the coastal walks. (A partial refund as a gesture of goodwill would be nice for the niggles reported)

  Hi, I am glad you enjoyed hengilfach, Sorry about the bbq I have replaced it with a much larger one, there is a setting on the swim-spa that lets you swim on the spot I Property Owner

• "The property was very spacious and had a lovely view."

  The outdoor space was great and the play area was a good addition for our daughter. The kitchen was well equipped however, could benefit from a few smaller pans. The beach at Church Bay was a short drive away and well worth a visit on a sunny day. Overall a great base for exploring the surrounding areas.

  Anglesey beaches were beautiful and surprisingly very little traffic for end of July. The house suited the whole family from ages 4 up to 70 years.

  Nice property, well fitted out. Quite a good location with fabulous views, short drive from several beaches. The garden is great for kids if you're lucky with the weather as we were. The large hot tub was very good. We had a small problem during our stay that was not entirely the owners fault - quickly resolved when reported.

  Only concern was that our car ( standard Ford Focus ) kept bottoming out every time we came into or out of the lane by the bins. There is quite a drop off the road onto the lane. The hot tub was amazing!!

  The property is situated in the most stunning and unspoilt area with knock out views. The house was very well equipped and cosy. The owner is also close by to help with anything. The upstairs lounge made a great place for the kids to takeover away from the adults :-) The hottub is huge and acted like a swimming pool for the little ones. We would love to come back here ASAP.

  Everyone left feeling very chilled and relaxed which was certainly helped by the comfort offered by the house. Amenities were excellent- we wanted for nothing. The hot tub was a delight. Combine all this with the amazing views and superb company we couldn't have asked for more. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful responding quickly to our one query........

• "What a super cottage!"

  We’d stayed at Hen Gilfach 10 years ago and loved it so much we decided to return. The addition of the en-suite to the downstairs King size bedroom and the 10 seater hot tub were massive plus points! We go away every year as a group of friends and this was the best hot tub we’ve had in over 10 years. Cottage was exceptionally clean, everything that we needed (there’s even a blender and 3 tier steamer in the kitchen!) All beds were comfy. Cottage even has a selection of board games, books and DVDs. The only very minor thing is that there’s only an under the counter fridge and a table top one - not really enough room if it’s all adults staying and there’s Prosecco & lager to chill ;-). But this is very very minor and didn’t detract from a great weekend away. Thanks for such a great place!

  Family of eight stayed at this cottage from toddlers to grandparents and had a great holiday. Facilities and the layout are perfect for two family's with ground floor having a shower room servicing the two ground floor bedrooms of which one also has an en-suite. The first floor has an extremely large family bathroom which services the remaining three first floor bedrooms. Also this property has a brilliant outdoor space for the children to play with slide, swing and hob tub to keep them occupied. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

  We were disappointed that the previous guest had damaged the hot tub, but we could still sit in it as it was still warm and relaxing. We were given compensation for this. The location was lovely and the views were amazing. We thought that the cottage however had not been cleaned to the best of standard (given that cleanliness is so important now with threat of covid 19). There were drinks leftover in the fridge, and the bbq had not been cleaned. Having said this, we would return and we had a lovely holiday.

  They had everything you required and my guests thoroughly enjoyed staying there. A few downsides. The smell outside was constant for the whole of our stay (don't know if it was the septic tank). The bottom step (flagstone) into the cottage needs fixing/concreting into place, as my elderly aunt nearly had a fall, as it wobbled. The quilts (although beautiful) were too warm and could possibly be changed for lighter ones in summer months.

• "Attractive photos presented by Menai Holiday unfortunately the reality was different."

  The downstairs two bedrooms had a damp fungus smell. One of the bedroom was particularly very bad as the mould was all over the window, with black dirt, dust and cobweb so our little one had to move upstairs due to her asthma. There is a serious luck of lighting in the downstairs shower room. Again mould all behind the sink, shower cubical, tiles which clearly is not being dealt with. I could provide photos but I do not want to completely put people off. I sincerely hope it will be dealt with as Menai Holiday and the owner have been informed. Kitchen again very bad lighting and flickering little ceiling light. So cooking during a date is fine but if you come to the cottage later on you seriously find it difficult. The dirt track which leads to a house was particularly bad! We have been to many places all over the Wales and Anglesey but that was something one off. (we have 4x4) the view is lovely if you have the weather to sit outside but it does not have a lovely maintain feel around the property. Our children were looking forward to using the outdoor play area which was not there( no one informed us about it) There will be a new one being build. For £1200 per week we certainly did not feel it was worth of money. We believe you get what you pay but that's was not the case. From our view we would not go back and not recommend it to our friends even thought we still had a great time as we try to blank it all.

• "We had a lovely time and the house was a good size and set-up for us (four couples each with a baby/toddler)."

  The only issues we wanted to pick up on were that the septic tank outside is located right next to the (lovely) children's play area and it was rather smelly at times. The other issue we had was that with 8 adults there was only one shower (in the downstairs bathroom). There was plenty of space to install one in the main bathroom upstairs which we would highly recommend. I appreciate there's a shower head on the bath upstairs but it's not the most practical for an adult. Great for kids though. These were the only downsides to a lovely stay. The house is very well equipped, the hot tub was lovely and warm, extremely clean and had a wonderful view of the sunsets in the evenings. Great location near to some of the most beautiful beaches. We'd highly recommend the Wavecrest Cafe and Lobster Pot as well as the Oyster Catcher. Thanks for a lovely week away.

  Thank you for your useful feedback, which we will pass on to the Owner.  So pleased you enjoyed your holiday.
