  • "An amazing property with incredible views."

    The owners have put a lot of thought and love into providing everything you could need (and more!). A perfect holiday in a perfect place.

  • "The cottage was very well appointed and equipped with everything you might need for a holiday by the sea."

    It was clean and comfortable and we were left a bottle of wine and some provisions to welcome us. The owners were very friendly and help was at hand if needed. The view from the balcony was the pièce de resistance. We have recommended Min y Traeth to our family and friends and we hope to return ourselves in the near future.

  • "We enjoyed our stay in this converted boathouse."

    The hosts met us on arrival and were very welcoming. The upstairs lounge and kitchen were comfortable and functional with great views of the bay. The kitchen has recently been refurbished and had everything we needed. The downstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were a little tired and, in our opinion, required some maintenance both from a furniture and fixtures/fittings perspective. The cleanliness of the house was not ideal (apart from the kitchen) with dust, cobwebs, insects and damp/musty smells (mainly in the downstairs bedrooms). We have fed this back to the owner directly already.

    We confess to being upset at receiving such a negative review which is somewhat at odds with our previous reviews which have consistently been favourable. We feel the low rating is unwarranted and unfair and vastly at odds with our previous ratings. We note that our property rating for the past six months averaged 93/100 . Cleanliness is of course of the utmost importance to us. To this end we book out three separate weeks during each year purely for maintenance/extra cleaning. Min y Traeth is within 40 meters of the beach and slipway and our guests enjoy paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkelling, swimming etc. during the summer weeks. The mid-season maintenance/extra clean is booked each year at the end of summer.This year the w/c 7th September has been set aside for this purpose.(This can be confirmed with Sykes). We certainly welcome constructive criticisms and have taken your comments on board. We are glad that you enjoyed some aspects of our beachside cottage and had a good holiday. Property Owner

    It was a great location to visit other places. The views from upstairs were fantastic, we felt lucky to get up to that gorgeous view and sit out in the evening. It was amazing to be able to walk out of the front door to the sea front. The owners were really friendly and informative. Thank you for a lovely stay!

    Only two of us but sleeps four comfortably. Everything we needed is provided in the property. Ideally situated for fishing and coastal path walks. Restaurant a few minutes walk if you don't want to cook. Views of sea and pebble Beach across the road.good road links to everywhere on the island. Cannot fault this property.

    Two shower rooms is a luxury and everything you could need in the kitchen. The owners are very kind and helpful and told us of some places to visit. Bull Bay is easy to find as it’s just off a main road but cannot hear any traffic from the cottage. Very peaceful location.

  • "Min Y Traeth is a wonderful place to stay."

    This was our second break here and have already booked for next year. Yes, as has been said previously, could probably do with some new sofas and a king size duvet on the double bed would be good (to stop us restless sleepers enduring a tug- of-war in the night) but Ann and Mike are most gracious hosts and are very willing to offer advice on your stay. The accommodation is spotless and the new kitchen very well equipped. The piece de resistance has to be the view. It really is magical and the sunrises spectacular. Truly a place to unwind and appreciate nature as the cliff path walks are literally on your doorstep. Perhaps I should have given it a bad review, more weeks free for us?!

    So glad you consider Min Y Traeth to be a wonderful place to stay. Thank you for your lovely comments about the sea view and spectacular sunrises. Some new sofas are being delivered on Saturday 6th July.We look forward to welcoming you back for your third visit in May next year. Mike and Ann. Property Owner

    We were not contacted during your stay to inform us of any issues. If reported then they could have been addressed in a timely manner. No WiFi is stated on the description so if this was a requirement for your holiday then it was not a suitable property for you.Many of our guests these days come with Smartphones that have 4G/5G mobile data. We're aware of sofa issues. They were due for re - upholstery in the low season but this was not possible because of Covid. The sofas will now be replaced at the end of the season. Drains have been investigated by a plumber after your stay. No problems found. Property Owner

    So well maintained and immaculately presented. Everything you could think of was already there. The view is just hypnotic looking out to sea with a glass of wine every evening was a joy. The kitchen and bathrooms (3) are beautiful and pristine. Ann was an excellent host and very attentive. Bed was very comfortable and bedroom cooler as located downstairs. Bull Bay is a quiet location, just what we wanted, as the rest of Anglesey is in easy reach if required.

The property

This light and airy, detached Bull Bay cottage boasts breathtaking views over the beach and glistening bay, located in the heart of the village, just 1 mile from Amlwch on the picturesque Anglesey coast.

Min Y Traeth, which is Welsh for 'edge of the beach', really lives up to its name, commanding prime position on the waterfront, and has been lovingly refurbished and styled with a nautical coastal theme.

This Bull Bay cottage features two lovely ground floor bedrooms with en-suite facilities, a well-equipped kitchen and a welcoming sitting room with porthole windows and sliding patio doors onto a lovely balcony with glass balustrade overlooking the cove, where you can relax in the sunshine, watching the world go by and perhaps even see a porpoise playing in the bay.

Benefiting from two pub/restaurants within five minutes' walk, a superb golf course less than a third of a mile away, and a beach with slipway opposite the cottage, this welcoming Bull Bay cottage is perfectly located to enjoy fun-packed days in this beautiful part of Anglesey.

The 125 mile Anglesey Coastal Path runs through the village and beckons walkers all year round, while the less energetic can enjoy peaceful days in complete natural beauty, just exploring the local coastline and deserted coves.

This is the perfect Bull Bay cottage for friends and families to enjoy all year round.

About the location

BULL BAY

Amlwch 1.5 miles.

Bull Bay, or Porth Llechog in Welsh, which means "sheltered bay", is a picturesque seaside village on the northern coast of the Isle of Anglesey. It is the most northerly village in Wales, and boasts wonderful coastal scenery, with the island of East Mouse lying within the bay, which is rocky, shingly and offers rockpools for shrimping and crabbing. The village has a hotel with restaurant and bar, an excellent golf course, wonderful scenic walks along the renowned Anglesey Coastal Path and exciting fishing and bird watching. 1.5 miles east is the old port of Amlwch, and Parys Mountain, where visitors can enjoy the Copper Mine Trail Walk amidst the old ruins of what was once the world's largest copper mine in the 18th century. Amlwch's harbour dates back to the Middle Ages, and once was a thriving port. Enjoy the medieval town of Beaumaris, with its 13th century moated castle, museums, excellent shops, pubs and restaurants, a sea zoo, Plas Newydd mansion, or take a day trip into Snowdonia, or visit Dublin from the nearby port of Holyhead.
