"I would like to exclaim how absolutely beautiful Rhianfa Cottage was."
We were looking for a cottage to relax and get away from it all after my dads passing.
It was more than expected and we are already planning to come back maybe more than once (as soon as possible!)
The house was a home from home and the owner was absolutely lovely and more than happy to help us. We cannot thank him enough.
We would also like to compliment the decor and facilities which were outstanding.
Thankyou to the host and to this stunning property. We will be back!

"This is a lovely little cottage and it had everything we needed for our short stay."
The issue was that it wasn’t very clean. The grill pan in the oven had not been cleaned and was very greasy, there were several glasses that had to be washed before use. There were a lot of cobwebs around the property and it was very dusty. Think it needs a general overhaul and deep clean to restore its quaint character.

"This property is blessed with lots of great areas of outdoor space for friends and families to get together or for even finding space on your own."
The gardens were dog secure and the only down side was the main road, it’s quite a quick rather than busy road but for me this didn’t stop us enjoying our week. Just needed to take care with pets and kids when exiting the front gate.The inside space was perfect for our family and maintained to a really good standard.
All of us (5 who stayed) agreed that we wouldn’t hesitate to book again when holidaying in the area.

The bedding, towels and bathrooms were perfectly clean, we just felt that the living room and kitchen needed a good deep clean, there was a lot of dust! We found a lot of dog hair and dog treats on the floor as well. This wouldn’t stop us staying again though, the view alone from the hot tub more than made up for a bit of mess.

"**Rating: 0/5**
SERIOUS ISSUES NOT RESOLVED BY EITHER THE PROPERTY OWNER OR SYKES."
AVOID!
The cottage is simply not clean and hasn’t been maintained properly since it was initially restored. There is mould in the showers and kitchen cupboards, a gap in the main door, and the upstairs shower doesn’t drain correctly, causing water to pool in the tray. Various reviews have highlighted these issues in the past, so it is disappointing that the owner hasn’t addressed them.
The garden, although lovely and the hot tub is a nice feature, is overgrown, making it challenging to use the facilities. The outdoor table and chairs are unusable.
There was a significant amount of dust on all ornaments, and the bedroom curtains were inconsistent—some blackouts, some not (in the same room) making it difficult to sleep as it got light by 5 am.
The advert suggests the property has an open fire, which is untrue; it is an electric fire.
While the location and views are beautiful, we did not get value for money.
I would seriously ask Sykes whether they should continue advertising this property until all issues are resolved.
Unfortunately the Sykes customer service team have now been sat on my complaints for 2 months, and Melissa is now refusing to respond to me. I will be perusing a charge back via my credit card company.

"A quirky and deceptively spacious cottage located between Menai and Beaumaris."
The garden area is on three levels with spectacular views across the Menai Strait. The cottage had a well equipped kitchen and the welcome hamper on arrival was a very nice touch. This is a great base from which to explore the island of Anglesey. There is a hotel (Chateau Rhianfa) directly opposite with bar and restaurant and another pub/hotel, "The Gazelle" a short walk down the hill. After exploring the beaches and coves it was nice to return to the cottage and enjoy the hot-tub whilst taking in the views. Highly recommended.

"Nice cottage with lovely views of Menai Straights."
Garden area is enclosed so safe for dogs with steps leading up to the hot tub and outside bar area. It is on a very noisy and busy road. It was light very early and the cottage could benefit from better black out blinds/curtains. Great facilities but looking a bit tired, some attention to detail as there were some cobwebs in the cottage. Very nice welcome hamper although fresh coffee in the pack but not cafetiere so we had to buy one. Also no hair dryer in the property. It was our first time to Anglesey and will definitely be back.

Which means getting wet a lot, tbh whole kitchen needs an update as it is looking tired, although I would like to point out that if some up-dates were done this property would be spectacular as I'm sure it once was when it was renovated, however, we would come back as it is a lovely cottage in a great location and we had everything we needed, thank you, we had a great Easter break.

"We've just returned from a few nights away at the cottage for a friend's birthday and absolutely loved it."
There were six of us, and the cottage provided plenty of room, with three double rooms (unlike most which have bunk beds or pull outs but say they fit six people) and two bathrooms one of which was an en suite. We arrived to a lovely hamper including chocolates, prosecco and a number of other goodies (including jammie dodgers, which was great for my girlfriend who's vegan)
I've seen people complaining that there's no WiFi, but to be honest it was quite peaceful and most of us had signal around the property anyway.
The hot tub fit the six of us in no problem and the garden and undercover snug were beautiful. It does take quiet a while for the water to warm up, so don't expect to get in the night of your arrival, but once it does its very relaxing.
It's about 5 minutes drive into Menai where there are plenty of pubs and cafes. The Green Olive was our favourite (because it was fully vegan and delicious) All in all, we'd definitely go back again for another visit and further exploration of the beautiful area!

It is perfectly positioned for exploring the Menai bridge and Beaumaris area and also Caernafon.

The garden is multi-layered terracing with plenty of seating and family areas and at the top, there is a 6-person hot tub and another seating area. It was simply fabulous.
I wanted to give this a 5* rating, but the beds were very uncomfortable and in need of new mattresses, and the lighting outside, and up to the hot tub does not work and needs attention.

Surface cleaned only I'd assume as there were cobwebs and dust all over the place, fake flowers with years of dust on them, pictures, mirrors the same. Internet didn't work either, and the remote for the electric fire was missing so couldn't use that either. The mattress in the main room also has 2 huge dips where you sleep so it's not the most comfortable bed.

It’s a beautiful place where the cottage is situated, the views are amazing and we recommend taking some binoculars so you can nosey at the boats that pass by. We were a family of four plus a dog and there was ample room inside and outside, the hot tub is in an ideal place to relax and watch the world go by. There was a fabulous hamper of goodies plus wine on our arrival which was lovely. It’s near the lovely town of Beaumaris which is full of nice cafes and shops etc, the pier was very popular for crabbing.
The one thing we feel would be a big improvement would be blinds on the Velux windows in each bedroom as it was so light in the morning waking us up early. The two upstairs bedrooms are really nice, nice big beds and lots of room. The downstairs bedroom not nearly as nice and did smell a bit musty but it was ok for one person as a small room.
Additionally the TV was very small and not a great picture on it, however it made us read more and not watch as much tv so it was a positive in a way. The living room is really comfortable and seemed to have a new set of couches which were nice and comfy.
All in all we would stay here again as in such a great spot and the views are wonderful.

"A beautiful little cottage with stunning views."
We arrived for our stay to a lovely welcome hamper, bottle of bubbles and some chocolates. Each room was decorated lovely and had its own character.
We did look around but there wasn’t any instructions / comments left in the property which I think would’ve been useful as we didn’t know the area and with the property not having Wi-Fi I could look things up. Our first night was lovely and the additional touches of fairy lights in the garden were really great. We stayed in the master bedroom at the front of the property. One negative thing I would say is that this property is on a busy main road and the hotel opposite often has deliveries etc so we woke up to a loud lorry reversing and the cars speeding down the road - this isn’t something anyone could sleep through and we had the windows closed so many double glazing to shield some of that noise?
There was sufficient bedding and towels left which were great as well as cleaning supplies in the kitchen! We spent most evenings in the hot tub enjoying the view and with the beautiful garden it felt so secluded and private it was wonderful.
As mentioned earlier with the instructions, we left the property clean and emptied the indoor bin etc but there were no specifics left.. it wasn’t until I got home and had Wi-Fi again that an email came through from Sykes with checkout instructions.. this was a gap. I would suggest getting Wi-Fi or leaving clear instructions for checking out.

This cottage has made a huge effort with the outside, there are lots of nice seating areas available at different levels, most with a fantastic view over the Menai Straits. The hot tub is very private but enables you to have a fabulous view whilst enjoying the spa with a drink. We were lucky to have fabulous weather all week so enjoyed the outside space.
The steps make it not accessible for older guests or small children. Unfortunately the description of the cottage does not highlight the road it is on, and the traffic noise is all day and then through to late evening, parking is also tricky especially when you have two vehicles like we did.
The cottage itself has a well equipped kitchen, and a really nice upstairs with two double bedrooms and a nice bathroom. Downstairs it needs new furniture in its lounge and to sort out the damp small bedroom.

Really nice touch was arriving to many hamper snacks, bread, jams, crisps, chocolates and bottles of bubbles and Buck’s Fizz!

The bathroom shower cubicles had mucky walls and the downstairs smaller bedroom was extremely damp. It must have a leak somewhere as there are water stains on the ceiling and walls ( main bathroom is directly above this bedroom) from previous leaks and a mould build up on the child’s high chair which was stored in this room.

Owner lives right behind and he occasionally stuck his head in. He ended up stropping because we took the wrong blankets outside (apparently there’s inside and outside blankets) I would recommend labelling them.

When I booked the property the week before, the property included the hot tub and didn't say anything about the time of year restrictions.
When we arrived we received a welcome basket, which had all the manuals and instructions to all appliances and hot tub.

We were very disappointed we had to fill and wait 36 hours until we could use the tub-specially when it was advertised as available.
We thought oh well, with the views and how well presented and welcomed we felt, then it's just one of those things.
We arrived on monday and now on thursday when are over half way through our stay (we leave saturday) the owner comes round when we have popped out, then contacts you to contact us to tell us off. I did receive an apology from Abigail your staff member for contacting me about the owners concerns. Think its bad that the owner comes round to check up on you, not very relaxing and now has really upset my/our visit and experience. There was no need to contact us we had done nothing wrong and I had to take time out of my holiday to try and get through to your office and be put on hold. Not relaxing and a violation of privacy. I was raving about this property and location to my family and friends, taking pictures and saying everyone you need to come and stay here!!... now I dont think I will be returning!

"The cottage was presented lovely and the welcome basket was a nice touch to receive on arrival."
But there was a strong damp smell in the downstairs bedroom and visible damp in the adjoining ensuite meaning my two children had to share one of the upstairs bedrooms (meaning less sleep for them and myself and partner). The cottage had lots of heavy cobwebs in most rooms which we could have dealt with. But the real issue was the hot tub... It's filter, jets and lights did not work for our entire stay and given it wasn't warm enough to use for long on our first night meant 24 hours later the water was murky and on our last night you could feel and see scum and slime on the water's surface. This was a luxury we were wanting to take full advantage of and couldn't. So we effectively had a standard 2 bedroom cottage without any extras but were charged for a 3 bedroom cottage with luxury hot tub.

The cottage was small and the dining table was under the stairs along with cleaning equipment, two chairs would not fit under the length of the table. The mattress in the main bedroom needs replacing, mentioned before in visitors book. The cottage needs blinds which are not broken, as the curtains are for effect and the lights from the road keep you awake. The fairy lights on the bushes outside also kept my daughter awake as there was no blind at the window. Deliveries to the Chateau were very noisy and some very early in the morning. The extractor in the downstairs bedroom is very noisy when there is any wind. The master bedroom doors would not shut properly and almost blew open when there was a wind. The front door was difficult to lock! Having to wash Dirty pans in the oven did not add to the experience. The welcome hamper would have been a nice touch had the cottage lived up to our expectations. We are used to high standards set by Yorkshire Cottages.
We are so sorry to hear that Rhianfa was not to your taste.

The dishwasher only did a cold wash do we had to resort to washing up ourselves as the machine didn't clean or dry them. The cooker takes 45mins to heat up. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom needs a big overhaul as it's very damp and the bedding and clothes feel damp.

"It was a bit smaller than we thought it would be and the pics were a little deceiving."
We hadn’t seen pictures of the hot tub and assumed it would be a hard bodied tub like we have at home but it wasn’t.

"This is a beautiful cottage, very well equipped with its own private hot tub and parking space."
We arrived to find a welcome hamper which was a nice surprise.
The only real negative point is the noise from the road which does wake you up quite early. There is also a hotel directly across the road which has lorry deliveries from 6am.
The main bedrooms would also benefit from having blinds fitted on the skylight windows.
Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed Rhianfa and those great views over the Menai Strait that can be seen from the hot tub! Your comments are very helpful.
