• "A comfortable, well located, quiet and spacious property which needs improving to bring it up to the required standard at this price."

  Worn and scratched kitchen units, ill fitting loo seat, black mould on shower door that wouldn't close properly, mismatch of crockery and glassware, very thin pillows which had yellow staining. The "welcome pack" was a pint of milk and a small packet of Welsh cakes. Information provided lacked detail, especially with regards to recycling. The TV apps don't work except for BBC iPlayer. This property was not to the standard that we expect from Sykes in this price range.

• "Beautiful place to stay, in just the right place for visiting the whole area."

  Lovely garden to sit in and listen to the birds. Generally vey clean and well equipped, the en-suite shower could do with a deep clean but apart from that it was spotless. My 83yr old mum did struggle up the "ramp" to the front door but had now problem going in through the back door so not too much of problem. Overall we had a lovely stay and would highly recommend staying at Yr Encil

• "The Pillows are rubbish!"

  !!!

  Hi Craig sorry you feel that the pillows where not to your liking, never had anyone mentioned this in the past, although we try and cater for everyone. Maybe if you have a certain pillow requirement perhaps it may be a good idea to bring your own. Many thanks for your booking Property Owner

• "Accommodation very good, with a few minor irritations- the top tier of the dishwasher dropped dramatically when pulled out, the back burners on the stove would not light and a grab rail in the shower was sorely needed."

  All these were reported to the owner. A full set of matching crockery and glasses would have been nice, as well as microwaveable containers and an oven glove.

  Hi Elaine, thanks for your feedback all the items mentioned have been addressed. Hope you see you again soon Property Owner

  It’s in a very convenient location for exploring the Island and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return in the future. The owners Carl and Steph were very friendly and approachable when we needed to advise we may be delayed arriving. Overall, a brilliant property.

• "A delightful setting so quiet, peaceful and private in a group of properties."

  The pleasure is just starting... The bungalow looks lovely as you approach but inside is even nicer. A very comfortable and well equipped home from home awaited us. Large picture windows makes the interior light and bright. The decor is nice and not at all skimped on. Beautifully laid out with a good size kitchen and lots of pans to self cater. The garden is a beautiful lap around with lots of lawn...the garden furniture offers a place to relax and a place to dine outdoors. The dining set had moss on but a simple request to the owner meant the gardener was asked to pop over and he did and jet washed the winter away successfully leaving us a great spot to dine that very evening. I'd suggest the addition of a large mixing bowl for the serious self cater fans such as we are...but aside from that the kitchen was very well equipped. We took an air fryer and slow cooker with us and there was ample space to use these. Bedrooms were lovely, lots of storage and en-suit bathrooms meant total privacy for both couples in our party and all immaculately clean. Ideally situated within a short drive from the A55 gives access to the main artery of North Wales and equally close is the Llanfair PG station where there is a superb cafe where we enjoyed a beautifully cooked breakfast before we left for home. I would highly recommend this property to those looking for a peaceful out of the way location. Own transport essential as shops and other amenities are too far to walk. We enjoy the beaches and countryside more that tourist attractions so it was perfect for us. Also perfect for those with limited mobility as it's all level access front and back and one bedroom has a low level shower cube for ease of use. Congratulations to the owners for making this a home from home and caring about the client experience.

  Thanks Jayne, so glad you enjoyed it. What a amazing reward thank you, hope to see you again soon Carl & Steph Property Owner

  Very high standard of cleanliness. Well equipped kitchen.Very comfy beds maybe the pillows could be updated quite thin (and no pillow protectors which I found surprising.) Thank you for welcome pack appreciated. Would not hesitate to book again.

• "What an absolute gem of a cottage."

  We explored the whole of the island, the cottage was a brilliant central spot. The cottage itself was clean tidy and warm, the pooches absolutely loved the open plan garden and didn’t once try to get in the neighbours. The beds are so comfortable and plenty of coat hangers in the wardrobes. Love the open plan aspect of the cottage. Not one single complaint. Carl and Steph perfect hosts. Thank you for our stay and we will certainly be booking again.

  It was immaculately clean, very well equipped and quite literally a home from home.

  The only worry for us was the open garden, which was clearly stated in the information, but a long lead solved that problem. Lovely quiet private little cul de sac of bungalows in a really good location for exploring. A huge thank you to Carl the owner for coming to our rescue with the charger cable for the car really grateful. We would definitely book again and recommend to anyone.

  Loved the decor and the beds were super comfy. Well equiped kitchen but maybe a bit more microwave plastics would be useful? but I used my own plastic tubs with food i had brought from home. Owners were very responsive to text message and sorted small issue on arrival very well thank you. Garden loverly though not fenced for dogs which I knew in advance as whole estate is open plan. Also very dark after dusk great for sky gazing. Good instruction and info books. Loved our stay here.

• "A very well presented property,very clean throughout both ensuites spotless ,plenty of towels."

  Beds very comfy. Kitchen well equipped perhaps a glass or plastic dish for microwave cooking would be appreciated and an oven glove was not provided.Informed the owner about an issue with the fridge he was pleased we had got in touch. Would definitely book again. The only little niggle was the rather poor welcome pack only contained 5 teabags and 4 little milk (we don't drink tea) Thought there would be a couple of coffee pods for your machine but alas no. Enjoyed the few days so thank you for a lovely stay.

  Thanks for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay, I will address the minor issues with the fridge, glove and the welcome pack. Hope to see you soon. Carl & Steph Property Owner

• "We normally holiday with Sykes and have never had any problem."

  However, this property was such a disappointment. There were many issues with the property mainly the filthy kitchen and dirty crockery, utensils, pots and pans. So filthy that we had to eat out for every meal and had to throw our fresh food away. Thank fully we only booked a 2 night weekend break. On reporting the issues and providing photo evidence the owner dismissed the problems, showed no empathy and didn't even so much as offer an apology. Its fair to say it was our first holiday we were actually very happy to leave.

  Thank you for your feedback, as it gives us an opportunity to improve areas where necessary. Unfortunately, we received no contact during your stay, had we have been made aware we would have made every effort to resolve the issues at the time. I have taken onboard the minor issues with our cleaning team and will ensure this is rectified moving forward. The property was attended to after your departure and we have not been able to locate some of the issues you have raised. Property Owner

• "We had a fantastic stay at Yr Encil."

  The cottage is very well equipped and comfortable, and located in a very quiet, private estate. We loved the stylish copper fittings and decor. We had our dog with us, and as long as you keep an eye on them, the garden is very safe for pottering around and lovely to sit in for a cup of tea (even in November!). The cottage is well located for exploring Anglesey, just 2 min by car to the main circular road around the island. We will definitely stay again.

  All attractions were a short drive away. The only downside was the put up beds for the 2 people in the living room were not comfortable for adults and finding single bedding was a challenge. We had a lovely week and would return.

• "Just had a week staying at Yr Encil and would not hesitate to recommend it."

  The detached bungalow is located on a private estate of just 20 other bungalows and is extremely quiet. It's ideally located to travel easily to all the great places to visit on Anglesey. Its well equipped, has spacious gardens and is very comfortably furnished. Beds were comfy and excellent quality bedding provided. En-suite bathrooms are both spacious. The only downside is that's is advertised as dog friendly but it's important to note the garden is not secure at all. There are no gates on the driveway or on the side and your dog can easily get through a gap in the wall into next door Who had to bring our little dog back to us. Fortunately I had packed a dog stake and cable so she was able to let out on her own. I would also suggest taking your own bath towels as the ones provided are quite small. I had an issue with the guttering rattling very loudly all night in the high winds which kept me awake all night so I had to wedge it with a rock to stop that happening. Otherwise an excellent property that will give you a very lovely holiday.

  Thank you Andrea for your positive feedback, we are advertised as dog friendly, in the property description it does mention that we have an open plan garden. We did have dog lead stake but it appears this has gone missing in which I will organise a replacement. I will also mention the towels to our laundry providers. So glad you have enjoyed your stay and please come again soon!! Carl & Steph Property Owner

  The accommodation was very clean and spacious and met all our needs. As we were there for ten days we could have done with a washing line of some description, also the floor in the kitchen needs repairing before someone trips and the postcode on on details needs altering from EG to EQ.
