"As a large diverse extended family - including dogs, babies, toddlers, children and even wheelchair user, we cannot fault the house."
It is so well equipped and spacious. The view is worth every penny paid for the week. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back soon. The weather was very kind to us for November - some even managing to climb Snowdon
-
"A fantastic property with everything you need."
Wonderful views over Cemaes. Magical
-
"This is an amazing house!"
We were a party of 11 adults, 3 children and 2 dogs. The kitchen was fully equipped, and there was plenty of seating for us all in the lounge/snug area. We also appreciated that we could all eat together at the large dining table! Everywhere was clean and nicely decorated, with views to die for! We were greeted by the lovely owner on arrival, and the welcome pack was a lovely touch. Thank you We will be back! Sue

"What a great place."
Especially as the weather wasn’t the best. Great kitchen facilities with lots of utensils. All rooms as described. A welcome basket was a lovely touch.

"We had an amazing week at Angorfa in Cemaes Bay."
The house is perfect for a large family gathering and it’s in the perfect location overlooking the bay. We were even lucky enough to see the Aurora Borealis, which was incredible. We would definitely recommend this property thank you so much.

"We have just returned from an amazing week at this gorgeous house."
We could not fault anything the views were amazing; the house was really well equipped for a large family holiday. Having 6 children under 5 with us could have been a problem, but there was plenty of space to move around in a safe environment both inside and out. The bedroom set up was ideal for giving everyone their own space and the adults loved the snug in the evening with the wood burning stove. The village was really friendly and had beautiful walks and amenities on hand. We will definitely return.
-
"A lovely house with ample space for 14 people to socialise and relax in comfort."
Beautiful views and places to walk to. Local pub only a short walk away. We had a great week seeing in the New Year with our uni friends going back to 1979 . The host was very responsive to any questions we had.

"Angorfa is simply stunning."
The location is idyllic, with incredible views out of every window. It's a short lovely walk to the village and beaches, and the small Morrisons in town provides enough food to limit trips to supermarkets. The scenery is stunning, the cliff walk/coast walk is right out the door, and it's a 30-45 minute drive to many castles and historical places. The house is nicely decorated, the en-suite bathrooms and main downstairs bathroom are lovely. It wasn't perfect-no rental is, but we had a wonderful two week stay with lots of family and friends coming to join us, filling all 7 bedrooms most of our visit. Karl, the host, was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We will definitely be back.

"A fabulous property for a family holiday, spacious and well equipped."
It worked really well for us. Having three fridges and two freezers as well as a wine fridge was especially welcome as was the use of kayaks. The layout of the lounge shown on the website would have suited us better than the more open layout it now has but we could probably have organised that for ourselves if it had been an issue. It’s hard to find any constructive criticism to make - we had a wonderful time!
-
"Nowhere to store clothes in upstairs double room for two people."
The room was rather cramped . Would be much better if the large armchair was replaced by a chest of drawers. It then could also be used as a dressing table One of the taps in the ensuite is rather loose
Thanks for the feedback. Just for clarity, in terms of storage that bedroom does have a wardrobe with drawers and further drawer space in the two bedside cabinets too so enough storage for a weeks visit. It also has the most amazing views across the bay, perfect for a morning coffee in bed taking in the awesome Anglesey landscape! Property Owner

"The property is fantastic for a family get together, the views are spectacular and provides more than enough cooking and relaxing furniture for us."
Single bed was best I have slept in for years. We have been twice now in 6 months, not disappointed either time. Even managed to watch gannets diving for food in the Bay!1 only one minor suggestion. all our visitors were over 65 and nearly all commented that soap/shampoo dishes in the showers would be a massive help, some were slightly disabled, found it highly difficult to recover dropped soap/ shampoo bottles
-
"Amazing house ."
Love everything about it. Had a very special time with family and friends and made some wonderful memories.
-
"My family and I had a Lovely comfortable stay in this large house."
Facilities and equipment was great including the use of two kayaks. The views were tremendous and Cemaes Bay is so unspoilt I would recommend Angorfa for large family groups and would visit again .
-
"An incredible holiday with family."
Angorfa is a real treasure and we made the most wonderful holiday ,even at the end of September! The house is so beautiful,comfortable,spacious and 13 of us were not on top of each other at all.A truly wonderful holiday in a gorgeous location.
-
"Amazing people are lovely and setting is incredible"
-
"Fantastic location."
The house had everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. We have booked again for next year which is the best accolade we can give.
-
"Angorfa cottage is in a stunning location with spectacular views."
The property is only a short walk away from the town with shops and pubs and at low tide you can actually walk straight over to the main beach, where there is a pizza/ ice cream hut. The use of two kayaks was a real bonus for the family and the owners were more than helpful with everything. We will definitely recommend this property to friends and family, and hopefully, return ourselves.
-
"Beautiful house in a stunning location."
Well equipped with all of the amenities required. Easy access to the beach and coastal walks. 10/10.
-
"The property met all of our expectations and the location exceeded them."
Karl took the trouble to provide a short video of the facilities before the holiday, to aid my husband's enjoyment of the stay, as he is a wheelchair user and quite frail. This helped enormously. The views, from the lounge window, are nothing short of spectacular at any time of day. We barely turned on the TV all week, there was so much to see! Adults and children alike enjoyed using the kayaks. We walked for miles, swam in the clear waters around the bay area and enjoyed both the ice cream and fish and chips, in Cemaes. The cottage was well equipped, especially the kitchen, which was a boon as we cooked most of our own meals- it included an enormous slow cooker, which we used on more than one occasion. The beds were comfy (although one of our party, who is very tall, found his a little short). Everything was lovely and clean. Fresh decor, with a seaside theme, throughout. Lots of room to spread out and do our 'own thing'. Evenings would see some of us playing cards or board games, others reading or sitting out on the patio, overlooking the bay, with a glass of coffee or wine. Later, we came together to chat before heading for bed. Perfect!

"This is an excellent house in a wonderful location."
9 of us stoped for a week and had more than enough space to sleep, eat and socialise. Clean and welcoming and quiet with two lovely owners who couldn’t be more helpful. Looking forward to our next stay.
-
"What a beautiful place!"
We had a lovely week all together as a family in this fantastic house. Everything we needed right there. Absolutely stunning views and we were very lucky with the weather too. Would highly recommend Angorfa for a relaxing break. We'll be back as soon as possible
-

"Brilliant house, plenty of room to spread out, fabulous views."
Everything you could possibly need for food prep. Great access for walking straight from the door. Karl the owner was very helpful and responsive. All of us had a brilliant week and would have no hesitation in recommending the accomodation and booking again!

-
"A wonderful position, ample room for all of us."
Each and bright house and the owners very helpful
-
"Angorfa is in a superb situation with glorious views across the bay."
There were 10 of us, plus a dog, and we had plenty of room both to spread out and find privacy but also to get together to eat, play games and enjoy each other's company. Ages ranged from 2 to 64 and everyone was well catered for. The 3 fridges, washing machine and tumble drier were a godsend! It was a truly beautiful and peaceful place to send the week. Would recommend to large families.
-
"Angorfa, wow."
The photographs don't do it justice. The position, the view's, the comfort the kayaking etc, was brilliant. We definitely did not want to leave, and would love to go back, No wonder it is SO popular. Thanks again....
-
"We had a great family holiday at Angorfa, we loved everything about it; the views are amazing, the property is lovely and, we felt, covid responsible."
You could look through the windows from the lounge all day and never tire of the view. We are definitely keen to return to this fabulous property.
-
"What a stunning house!"
Unbeatable views, comfortable and well equipped, big enough for 14 people not to feel cramped and situated in a lovely village in Anglesey’s most beautiful corner. Would love to visit again.
-
"The house was excellent."
The facilities were great. The kitchen equipment provided was higher than expectation, meeting every need. The position of the house with its views was a joy. Would definitely recommend it. The owners have been very thoughtful and equipped the house as if a family lived there. A gem.
-
"Brilliant property and a wonderful location."
Excellent facilities provided by the owners and all the extras. We will be back when we find an unbooked week.
-
"This house is the most well equipped house I have ever stayed in."
The location is fantastic I fully recommend Sykes as from booking 15 months in advance and only having to pay a small deposit to full payment was an easy process. If you are a large family with young and old and you love the beach like me then this is the place for you. Thank you for making our family Christmas 2019 a very memorable one.
-
"This is the perfect house and area for a large group celebration or holiday."
Our group ranged from 1 to 88 and everyone enjoyed it.
-
"Loved, loved, loved this property from the facilities to the amazing sea views from the family room."
Cemaes is like a secret little bay that nobody knows about. Anyone thinking of visiting this property I would strongly recommend that you arrive during day light as it is situated at the top of the cliff and provides no lighting.
-
"Our party varied in age from 19 months to 73 years and I think we all had a very good time, Angorfa is a large house and the views are to die for,all of the bedrooms are of a good size and the beds are very comfy, all of the other facilities are more than adequate."
The children loved the fact that there are loads of hiding places when playing hide and seek, also beach access is very easy with loads of rock pools for them to explore. For the adults 2 nice pubs within a few minutes walk and a few shops to explore. Overall I think we would all recommend Angorfa for a brilliant family holiday.
-
"Cottage was fantastic with each bedroom having it's own shower & WC as well as having 2 separate WC's with shower or bath ."
Kitchen was large with separate utilities room so plenty of space for boiler ,washing machine,tumble dryer , 2 fridge freezers and recycling bins and somewhere warm for the dogs to sleep . The location and views were fantastic as was the weather so all in all we had a great holiday .! We would not hesitate to return to Angorfa next time we visit Anglesey .

"Hi our family have just returned from our 2 week holiday and s a family we wasn't really looking forward to going because 2 years again we went to have a look at the property and the village, and we all said yes it's got something here for all, since then we've lost our beloved dad so everything we'd seen on our first visit was now seen with sadne we're all glad we went because we dad would have wanted us to still go and enjoy it, even with the tears and the horrendous feeling of loss and emptiness we did enjoy the holiday."
I must mention property on first arrival I did notice going up the slope and stairs their were no hand rails which was little disappointing as a few of us needing something to hold on while going in the house, also the tarmac going down to the round sitting area needs to be levelling-off as son as possible as being in a wheel chair I was very nervous going down there, I had to have 3 people take me, one either side and one pushing me, we could see that your in the middle of having work done outside but please if I could suggest if you have time could you do these three issues as soon as possible because I know someone with my needs will really benefit, once inside we all were so impressed on the level of cleanliness, as dogs were allowed we were expecting some dog hairs around the floors and under the bed etc, but nothing the cleanliness is outstanding, the colours and decor and the quality of the furniture have all been done beautifully, the best feature is the conservatory area with the two big opening windows which we had opened when it was too cold to sit out, and the kitchen area was brilliant everybody was able to comfortably sit in there while chatting and cooking, we have booked again for 2021 as next year was full unfortunately, we will certainly recommend this to family and friends, this house is a credit to you. So,thanksk you for making our first holiday without our dad/grandad/greatgrandadd/father-in-law very enjoyable with many tears and heart ache too{ if you have any cancellations during 2020 please would you bear us in mind ?,, and if you would kindly give us the option to book if possible ?. Also sorry to say I've noticed we still have the blue plastic salad bowl in our picnic ba, I don't know what I should do about this. If you have a suggestion? Thanks very much from all the potter family, from the ages of 80 down to 12 months. Bye for now, we can't wait for 2121. Thanks again.

"We had a wonderful two weeks in Angorfa!"
The house is absolutely beautiful and photos cannot do the views justice. We had a group of various ages and everyone thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Everything was perfect."
The owners couldn’t do enough for us when we reported a problem with a bed. The sun shone also to put the finishing touches to a lovely holiday.
-
"This was our second stay at Angorfa."
A group of nine adults and two dogs. We all love it. Lovely house with super owners, great facilities, fabulous position. The fact that it is now booked up until the middle of next year says it all.
-
"Amazing house and location"

"Fantastic house and location."
Loads of room and plenty to do. Hopefully we will return in the future.

"This holiday with all our family was to celebrate our Golden Wedding anniversary."
My husband has had problems with the new knee he had in November and because of infection had to have this removed. We had to cancel three other holidays but were determined to have this time with our family. We all loved this special place, all the grandchildren enjoyed the kayaks and fishing off the rocks. The families walked the cliff paths and even got to the top of Snowdon on a beautiful sunny days with amazing views. Although my husband and I took things more easily we loved the area, and the house was even better than I had dared to hope for. I love anything nautical and the decorations and position of the house were wonderful. The ease of access for my husband was good and we could still lie in bed and see the bay. This house fullfilled the wishes of everyone from 72 - 7 and everyone wants to return!

"This was a lovely house in a brilliant location - probably one of the best ..."
This was a lovely house in a brilliant location - probably one of the best equipped houses we have stayed in - hopefully we will return in the not too distant future
-
"Owner very helpful."
The cottage is ideal for large family get togethers. Will definitely go back.
-
"What an amazing house Angorfa is."
Our party of 12 ranged from a l year old to a 93 year old and it met all of those needs. Very sociable space and lovely walks for the dogs and adults along the cliffs. Highly recommended and excellent value. Hope to go again.
-
"This beautiful house met our needs perfectly."
. We are a family group, gathering to celebrate a birthday, so ages ranged from 13 to 70, and we all had a fabulous week.. The location is excellent..with access to the beach (perfect for the dog and the youngsters) and good fishing adjacent to the house. The house is extremely well equipped, warm and comfortable, and seating areas perfect for large groups....and the views from every window are stunning.
-
"Great house in a great location, well equipped, welcome hamper was a nice touch."
-
"There were two first class things about this house: 1."
The view of the bay was absolutely outstanding and one that you can never get tired off. 2. The kitchen (and equipment levels) with the dining room and conservatory opened out were such a brilliant living space for a large group. Even if we have better holiday in the future we doubt we'll ever beat the views ....
