"A lovely positioned cottage, close to amenities yet in a lovely secluded setting."
The downstairs was very spacious, although storage in the bedroom could have been better. But overall a lovely place to stay.
-
"Lleyn is in a beautiful setting, at the gateway to Anglesey."
Quiet and comfortable, clean and even red squirrels as neighbours! The owners made us feel so welcome and were full of information . We would definitely return.
-
"The cottage is well-maintained and supplied by thoughtful, helpful owners."
It is excellently situated, with local shops and restaurants a short walk away, yet situated in a tranquil garden away from the roads. It was a very pleasant and comfortable base for exploring Ynys Môn and the north-western parts of Eryri.

"This is a lovely setting with plenty to do in the surrounding areas , the owners are a lovely couple and provided us with an amazing welcome pack."
The accommodation on entry had a damp smell which was all through the property, there were spiders in all rooms hanging in the corners of the ceilings, at bed time I had to collect 5 spiders to throw out before we could go to sleep, unfortunately we cut our holiday short by 1 day because of this, In spite of this we had a nice time in anglesey. As a retired builder I noticed that the shower is not sealed very well and there is damp rising up the wall in the hallway adjacent this is possibly the reason for the damp smells.
Dear Marie and Michael Thank you for your feedback. We are disappointed that you did not take the opportunity to walk up to our house to report what you had found. My husband always urges new guests to report any issues that arise during their stay. Regarding the shower that was installed last year, we would have welcomed Michael’s advice as a retired builder. We will now contact a builder to check where water might be leaking. Thank you for your valuable feedback. However, the image you portray of every room harboring cobwebs and spiders baffles us. Professional cleaners go through the cottage thoroughly just hours before the arrival of new guests and my husband does a check after this. The guests who departed on the day of your arrival called by to say farewell and declared that it had been the cleanest holiday cottage they had ever stayed in! The cleaning company may well contact you directly. My husband does find the occasional ‘daddy-longlegs’ and puts them out of a window. Perhaps they crawled back out of the rain and cold?

"We were greeted with a warm welcome by the owners."
The cottage was exceptionally clean with comfortable beds & a well equipped kitchen. The setting is unique, a feeling of being in the countryside but with all the amenities of the town. If you are nature lover you will not be disappointed with red squirrels & a variety of birdlife to entertain you in the secluded garden.

"A lovely welcome from Ron and a very good welcome pack."
Quiet and peaceful location, within a short walk of the town. Lovely cottage, spacious with a large garden. Extremely comfortable double bed, the dining room is really bright and open but the couch in the lounge is quite hard. My main criticism is the shower room which needs updating and a decent shower put in.

"We had a wonderful week in a lovely cottage."
The location of the property in the village is perfect and our hosts were extremely helpful and friendly.
-
"This is the second time that I've stayed at this lovely cottage."
It is homely, with everything that you need. The bed's are so comfortable. Pubs, restaurants are minutes away, along with red squirrels just outside the front door. Ron and Angela are the most loveliest hosts that you could ever meet. Thank you to them. I'll be back!
-
"A really lovely cottage with a friendly but unobtrusive host."
The cottage is warm and cosy and had everything we needed. It was wonderful to see the red squirrels and a variety of birds in the garden. Ideally situated for exploring the island and the mainland. Short walk to the town and several pubs and restaurants. Would happily stay again. The only negative was the limited hanging and drawer space for clothes but this didn't really hamper us.
-
"A beautiful secluded cottage whilst still being at the centre of Menai Bridge surrounded by trees, birds and visiting Red Squirrels."
It's a really relaxing spot. The cottage is very comfortable with all essential amenities, a lovely welcome pack and friendly, helpful hosts. This is an ideal base for exploring Anglesey and mainland Wales. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and we highly recommend it.

"Hi. Just returned from a week at the Hive."
Set along its own lane to the right of the owners house is the cottage. Steeped in history Ron advised us that the conversion was originally where the coach would have been housed. Surrounded by lawns and trees we were lucky enough to see the red squirrels. The welcome pack Ron and Angela left for us was beautiful and included cake, orange juice and milk . The cottage was near to pubs and restaurants and we highly recommend the Indian restaurant Perfect holiday thank you Ron and Angela
-

"Lleyn Cottage is a lovely looking cottage in a great location, close to shops, restaurants, takeaways and pubs."
Unfortunately it is dated inside and has a terrible musty smell that hits you when you open the front door, it also lingers in your clothing. We found the 2 settees in the lounge to be extremely uncomfortable, 1 very low the other quite narrow. However there is another in the dining room which is comfortable. The bathroom is compacted and the shower pressure is very weak. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you need for a self catering holiday. We received a lovely welcome pack on arrival. The owner Ron is very friendly and helpful. The cottage is located in the grounds of the owners own home.
Shelley We are sorry the cottage did not meet your and Allan’s expectations. The musky smell you describe was not experienced by this week’s guests (and has never been mentioned by any previous guest) - but thank you for alerting us to the fact it can occur. Perhaps you could have mentioned this during one of our chats? This would have helped me to discover how it could have been generated. Ron Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage, there was a lovely welcome pack which was much appreciated."
The owner briefed us well on our arrival. The cottage is very conveniently situated near to Menai Bridge town and Waitrose is within a few minutes walking distance. We have an electric car and there were nearby charging points at the library. The cottage is ideally situated for visiting the island and the mainland.

"We really enjoyed our stay at The Hive."
The log burners were a real treat and we had ample logs provided. The cottage was clean and all the furnishings were good quality, we were very comfortable. A special thanks to Ronald for letting us stay a little later than planned as Storm Arwen took out the trains. Would definitely recommend The Hive for a couple or small group.
-
"We would recommend staying in Menai Bridge and Lleyn Cottage."
The location of the cottage was perfect - set in its own peaceful garden yet within walking distance of restaurants, shops and beautiful scenery. The cottage was spotless and spacious. There was plenty to see and do in the local area. We must thank Ron and Angela (the owners of Lleyn Cottage). A generous and thoughtful groceries pack was provided and a cheery welcome from Ron as we arrived meant we quickly settled in. We had a very relaxing and restful week away and hope to return in the future. Karen and Mark.

"We had a lovely time at The Hive."
The cottage was very much as we expected and the hosts, Ronald and Angela were lovely people. We enjoyed our chats with them and to them nothing was too much trouble. The wood burning stove was a pleasure in the evenings as the dark nights are creeping on. It was very relaxing to sit in the lounge and enjoy the cottage with a drink or two.The cottage is close to the village of Menai Bridge and there are a wide range of restaurants within a short walk and wide variety of shops.
