"We had a wonderful, relaxing week at Bwthyn Glanrhyd."
It's so off the beaten track, you barely see anyone other than a few nearby holiday guests and walkers doing the coastal route. Access to the sea (Cymryan Strait) was perfect for trying out the SUP and walks when the tide was out.
It's great for dogs with the enclosed areas, but also the nearby fields, beach (when tide is out) and coastal paths for walking them!
We also had 3 days of air displays from RAF Valley which were no bother at all - it was worth the brief noise!
The property had all you need for a week away and was very comfortable. Would definitely look to book again!

"This property is situated in a nice part of Wales but we personally found that it is not equipped to suit a family of 4 comfortably."
The 2 bedrooms do not contain a wardrobe only drawers and limited wall hangers. The kitchen had insufficient utensil equipment, lacked in main storage space and the living area did not have traditional home comforts and needs updating.
Getting to the property from the single track road is full of deep pot holes and desperately needs urgent maintenance. I had to reverse my vehicle all the way from the residential caravan site to the rental property as the owner of the property did not want me to use their grounds to turn my vehicle around so as I could park my vehicle safely nor was there adequate space at the caravan site to leave my vehicle and walk to the property.
As a family, we did not feel welcome by the property owner, and on one particular day I was out walking with my grandson and was immediately approached by the host to tell me that we were not allowed to enter her property grounds as it is a private road. I respected this but at the same time found the host to be rude and arrogant. When I looked at Google maps it looks like a ring road which I did mention to her and as I was renting a property on a private road to start with, I was unaware of any further restrictions.
Overall, the property had a nice outdoor patio area with lovely views towards Snowdonia range but I would not rent this property again.

The location in respect of exploring Anglesey is also great, being between the Holy Island and Anglesey mainland.

Once guests have made a booking, Sykes kindly send out very detailed and clear directions which clearly states that the postcode does not get you to your destination. I'm sorry to hear that you were not aware of this.
Within the property information and our Visitor Information Pack we advise guests clearly about the tides which at times cover the last section of the driveway. Should we need to we can amend check out times if this is affected should the guests agree this with us first.

Compact & Bijou. The dog shower was an absolute godsend and greatly assisted our attempts to protect the property...but it needs more thought. To get our dirty Bog Dog clean we needed full pressure. If we used full pressure the silly universal shower attachment didn't join in much. Amazon and eBay are crawling with Full Fat Y piece solutions that solve this issue. Nice to have found provision there though. We were having nightmares about a complete lack thereof! More importantly the 'beach' was littered with glass. That needs immediate attention. What manner of animal boobytraps such a place eludes me. We binned some of it and left this bit out. These are solvable trivialities. If you want or need peace and quiet... Zoomie Rupert aside...he doesn't work weekends or nights anyway...this little pad has such things in a twenty tonne tipper load!

What a gorgeous little place and the views of the Cymyran strait was spectacular ! I could've sat there all day watching the tide go in and out, listening to the birds as well as the Hawks and Tucanos at nearby RAF Valley !! Which were definitely an added bonus.
The cottage was well equipped, we did buy a couple of pint glasses while we were there though and we left them there if anyone else needs them.
Bed was lovely and comfy as was the sofas, the heating was hardly ever on as the big panoramic windows heated the place up during the day.

"Perfect in every way!"
Thank you for sharing your beautiful holiday home with us. Cottage was situated down a remote country lane, right on the estuary, with its own little beach, exceptionally quiet and peacefully. Perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. Amazing walks directly from the cottage, as it’s on the Anglesey Coastal Path.
The cottage has the advantage of the lounge having panoramic floor to ceiling windows so you feel as though you are sat outside when in the lounge, we loved watching the tide roll in!
The owners had provided everything we could have needed for a holiday stay, plenty of cutlery, cooking equipment etc, although we didn’t cook as we ate out, but I’m sure we wouldn’t have struggled if we’d decided to eat in. Beds were comfortable and shower was the best we’ve ever had in a rental property!!!
We also enjoyed the fact the property had its own private garden, which was lovely for our puppy to enjoy. It benefited from garden table and chairs too, which was great in the evenings.
RAF Valley is nearby and we really enjoyed watching the jets flying by - a real novelty and definitely a bonus!
Anglesey is such a perfect place - we enjoyed Rib Ride boat trip down the Menai Straits, horse riding at Anglesey Riding Centre, swimming and walking at local beaches, karting and lots more!
We can recommend The White Eagle, The Boat House, The Ship and Dylan’s to eat out at and for little extras needed there’s a large Tesco in Holyhead.

"The reason we chose this cottage was because we have a nervous dog ."
A "Private" sign may be a good idea on the small gates as we had a walker traipse through the garden. We were also visited twice by a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP) which really upset our dog. Of course we realise that the owners have no control over such events but wanted to point them out as the GSP owner may be local and perhaps someone could have a word with him. He didn't seem to see the problem because his dog was friendly.
We were third time lucky with getting to the cottage, due to unforseen events the previous two years friends took our bookings. Everything about the cottage was amazing and we would love to go back at some point but the cost may prevent that. In two years the rental fee has gone up £300.00 for the week we booked. Perhaps we'll be lucky and win the lottery :)

"The cottage is absolutely beautiful and in a lovely remote place right by the sea, perfect for a relaxing get away."
We do recommend if you go in the winter months take a candle and torch, and buy fire wood before you go, we had a power cut 2 nights luckily we took our own torch and candle other wise we would of been sat in the dark, only one small basket of wood for your first night and the road isn’t the best and could quite easily damage your car so not a road you’d want to drive up and down on a regular basis. The road is cover by the sea but not just for 2 hours as I’d read, it was a lot longer which wasn’t a problem cause storm caira made us want to stay in ha ha and we just planned a relaxing weekend away. The owner was very helpful and easy to contact.
The property could do with a really good dust, lamp shades, skirtings ect.. but other than that it was a lovely remote place, well set out, relaxing and very scenic a lovely place to get away from the stresses of life..

We are glad that you enjoyed your time at Bwthyn Glanrhyd. The property is located in a remote spot and we do ensure that all guests are informed about the access road and tides via Menai Holidays/Sykes.

"Great cottage and brilliant location."
A few points to make it even better.
1. We found the front door difficult to open upon arrival. Information on how far to turn the bottom knob would have been very useful.
2. The bathroom door handle is very stiff and heavy. It has to be forced down in order to open the door.
3. There is a water leak at the base of the left hand shower fixing. This was spotted from the bath as quite a large, brown dripping stain which I though was rust at first. Wiped it clean but it continued to drip.
4. A coffee table between the twin sofas on which to place drinks,books, maps, binoculars etc. would be appreciated.
5. The heated towel rail in the bathroom was not working which made it very difficult to dry towels in damp/wet weather.
Despite the above we had a very enjoyable week and there was always something of interest to watch through the huge windows, including over a dozen different species of birds.
Many thanks for your recent feedback which proves very useful to us. I am so glad that overall you had and enjoyable week. I have arranged for our maintenance person to look at the items you noted.

"This is a lovely bungalow clean and modern."
We wanted a peaceful location which over the weekend was lovely. On Monday morning we got woken at 8am by fighter jets from the RAF base which we hadn't realised and nobody had pointed out was just over hill. They were taking off landing formation flying this is really loud and goes on every day from 8am until after 5pm or later. My little dog was terrified. If you like an air show and don't mind the noise this is for you. The garden is supposed to be enclosed but it's not this wasn't a problem with y dog as she didn't really want to go in the garden during the day because of the noise. There were four very large dogs that continually wandered in the garden sometimes all at once and if the door was open rampaged round the bungalow while we tried to get them out. If the garden had been enclosed this wouldn't have happened and we wouldn't have had to clean up after them. The private road to this property is shale and a dirt track. To get rid of your rubbish you and to walk past the caravans to put it in and enclosed skip but when you opened the shutter it was full of flies not a good experience in the warm weather we had. The path down to the beach is quite steep and over grown being pensioners we didn't attempt it but kids would love it. We wouldn't book this cottage again and we don't feel as if we've had a holiday we left on Thursday lunch time couldn't wait to get home. If we could move the bungalow elsewhere it would be perfect.
Thank you for your recent feedback. We find feedback very useful. Firstly we are sorry to hear you were not aware the property is located near the RAF valley and that planes can be heard during weekdays. We do include this information within the property details online to ensure there are no surprises.
Apologies that you experienced dogs from elsewhere within the garden area. We have arranged for works to be carried out in September to ensure the garden is fully dog proof.
We do appreciate Bwthyn Glanrhyd is a remote property and do our best to relay this in the property description online. We have recently strimmed the access down to the sea. We always ensure the skip is replaced before its full.
We are sorry that the property didn't meet all areas of your expectation but thank you for your feedback.

"We struggled to twork the small shower head there were no instructions."
A non slip mat in the bath would have been good ( we are in our 70`s & have to take care0 We had to buy a knife to spread butter, the steak knives were very good but not for buttering bread.
Having said all that we had a lovely holiday the cottage is very cosy & we loved the location, we would like to return next summer.
Thank you for your recent feedback. We find any feedback from guests really useful. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the property and its location. We have looked into the small shower head which we found to be in full working order. There is now a non slip mat available in the bath for guests and we've reviewed the cutlery available to guests. Thank you again and we look forward to hopefully welcoming you back to the property soon.

"The Cottage did indeed exceed our expectations with a a peaceful and very scenic location with a beautiful outside seating area and large garden with views, the kitchen was spacious and well stocked and the interior was a decorated in a modern and stylish way and a very nice touch having Janet Bell, the local artist artwork."
I would definitely return to this rental cottage and recommend it.

"Stunning location, really high spec and we absolutely loved it."
We had an issue with the log burner on our last night but logged this in the Maintenon book
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the cottage. Apologies you had an issue with the log burner. I understand there was a change in wind direction during your stay which affected things. We have since had the matter rectified.

"The cottage was lovely and very modern but I felt that the cleanliness was not up to scratch."
The floors were dusty and didnt look as if they hadn’t been cleaned. Fridge hadn’t been cleaned as we found bits of food in it. This I know is being very picky but just feel that this should have been looked at before we came.
Little attention to detail like, maybe a few games to play and provision of a DVD player if the weather is bad, as reception when it’s windy allows you to only watch BBC.
I appreciate this is a new property and is still a project in motion so I think in a few months this will be top notch but I couldn’t give it top marks I’m afraid.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the cottage. Apologies you felt the cleanliness of the property was not up to standard. We have addressed this immediately. I've also put out some games to play in one of the cupboards. Thank you again for letting us know.
