"Fantastic place with so many gadgets."
.. Except we couldn't find a hoover
-
"Our first time visiting Anglesey and we have fallen in love."
The cottage was a great base to explore the whole island. The cottage is beautifully decorated, well equipped if you want to take your dog. Really comfortable lounge and master bedroom. Would have liked a dishwasher and I think a hot tub out the back would make a perfect addition
-
"It is a lovely property but the sofa was not very comfortable or practical for watching the TV, the mattress on the double bed in the front bedroom was extremely uncomfortable and the Wi-Fi speed was very slow."
Underneath and behind the sofa were very dusty. We did have a problem with the boiler but this was resolved very quickly.
-
"Lovely, spotless accommodation with everything we could need."
Great service and communication from Sykes, we asked if it was possible to access the accommodation earlier than 5pm and Sykes representative contacted the cleaning service and got back to us to say we could go at 3pm. The only thing which would put us of returning would be the 5pm access. We'd originally booked thinking we may have our 2 grandchildren but didn't. Would definitely recommend if you have children or dogs. Brilliant for both.

"Our family plus the dog had a lovely, relaxed, stressed free stay at Tan Rhiw."
The cottage had everything you needed and more! Our vizula loved the back yard, as we did as well - morning coffee over looking the field..heaven! Highly recommend Tan Rhiw, hoping to visit again.

"First impressions were good."
Good location. Nicely decorated. On closer inspection not so good. Sofa had stains all over. Thankfully we take throws with us. I had to wash all plates/cups/cutlery before use. A small saucepan had mould in it. Yes it seems dog friendly but the fence out the back is quite low. And the gate at the side even lower. There is no way you can walk dogs straight from the property as there isn’t a path and the cars go quite fast! Another point is the low back door. Definitely needs a sign. I thought our first outing was going to have to be the hospital after my husband banged his head taking luggage inside. We loved the area and would definitely go back to Anglesey but unfortunately not this property.
-
"Excellent property."
Very high standard.
-
"We have just returned from a 1 week stay, we loved the house and the area it was in."
We woke up every morning to seeing sheep/lamb and ponies. The house has everything you need from kitchen equipment to hot water and heating. It has a freezer as well as fridge, lots of dog bowls and towels. It was extremely clean and the decoration is inviting and it makes you feel at home. Couch and beds were extremely comfortable. The garden was perfect for our 2 dogs and also there’s private parking for at least 2 next to the house. The house is on a 40mph road however it’s not a busy road so it doesn’t bother us. We are already thinking about booking this house for next year.

"Just returned from a wonderful stay at this lovely property."
It was very clean, well equipped, bright, modern and beautifully furnished. The only thing missing was an oven glove! The secure little garden was ideal for our two little dogs to safely explore. As it was fully paved there were no worries about 'mucky pups' even when it was raining. Picking up on some previous comments: Main road outside is close/fast but it wasn't busy and we didn't find noise inside the property an issue. Garden gate was broken on arrival but fixed on our first day. Sofa does need attention as the back doesn't lock in upright position. As warned, back door is low. This wasn't an issue for my wife (5'7") but unfortunately at 6' I hit my head a few times. The last time was in the dark & resulted in a grazed head. Needless to say, I didn't do it again but it possibly needs a warning sign? We would not hesitate to return to and/or recommend this great property. It is one of the best that we have stayed in.
-
"The back gate was broken upon arrival, which meant the garden wasn't secure, this wasn't great as we had our dog with us."
There were cobwebs in most rooms, some dishes weren't clean & we found plastic/rubbish in the rug which made us think this wasn't cleaned. However, property was as described & comfy.
-
"Good location, great parking."
Comfortable, good variety of utensils etc. Nice to arrive to a pint of milk and Welsh cakes.
-
"No logs provided."
No mattress or pillow protectors. Apart from that a lovely stay
-
"Lovely property for a family stay."
Everything provided. Warm, cosy & very homely. Great location for exploring Anglesey & stunning views. Very good value & will absolutely return!
-
"Absolutely beautiful little cottage , stunning inside and decor high spec."
Comfy beds and excellent facilities, lovey little garden to sit out , only criticism I have and thus is by no means a reflection of the owners, I couldn’t walk my dog up the lane as the cars were flying past doing at least 50-60 miles an hour, But we drove to Beaumaris and had a lovely walk around there. Would definitely stay here again
-
"Lovely cottage , as stated a little bit of traffic noise , but you do get used to it , on a busy road so you would have to keep an eye on little ones & dogs, lovely & clean and every thing and more you would need , the bed is so comfy , but not sure what was going on with the settee , was in a lay back position & we couldnt get it to stay in a sit up position , lovely private little garden with nice furniture to sit out on when the weather is good , enjoyed our weeks stay ."
-
"We really loved the location of the cottage and the decor is very tasteful and cosy throughout."
I think the standard of cleanliness could definitely be improved as we did find a few things that had been missed. The cottage is clean overall but needs a deep clean. We found the oven trays in the kitchen still dirty from previous users and there was dirty cutlery in the drawer. The toilet had not been cleaned thoroughly round the back of the seat and the bath was also not completely clean. We found having to strip the beds and sort the rubbish a bit of a pain when we were in a rush to be out by 10am, especially with a young baby but this wasn’t the end of the world. It did however highlight that there are no mattress or pillow protectors on the bed and a big yellow stain on the mattress topper in the master bedroom. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here and had it not been for the few issues above it would have been perfect!

"This is a gorgeous property and has been thoughtfully decorated throughout."
Unfortunately, the technology in the house proved difficult. I lacked the programming skills to start the hob. Ridiculously difficult, even with YouTube videos! The nest was also difficult to programme. (YouTube to the rescue). The bed in the master bedroom was hard and lumpy. Lastly, the glass front of the oven shattered as my friend opened the door. Luckily there were no children or dogs in the kitchen because they'd have been covered in glass. As it was my friend cut her bare feet. I completely understand the difficulty replacing it between Christmas and New Year but I had to go out and buy more food to cook in the microwave so the oven cooked food went to waste. Not the relaxing break we were hoping for :-(
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for your stay at 2 Tan Rhiw. There is a manual with instructions for the hob in the property. However, we have taken onboard your comment and will prepare a laminated sign with simple instructions regarding the use of the hob for future guests. The mattress in the master bedroom is new. It was purchased two months ago, and the old mattress replaced. We were sorry to hear about the problems you experienced with the oven door. Unfortunately, and despite our best efforts, we were unable to source a new cooker for the end of your stay due the Christmas holidays Property Owner

"A fabulous cottage, in a lovely location."
The interior has everything anybody would need and was a real home from home, it was a great base for us to explore Anglesey. We would recommend it to anybody looking for a lovely well furnished holiday cottage.
-
"A beautiful cottage with high quality furnishings."
Everything we needed plus more - it was great! Very handy to have all the cleaning equipment provided + milk, tea/coffee and cake - thankyou! The hob was quite difficult to operate which was a shame. Some towel hooks in the bathroom and bedroom would have been useful but otherwise it was lovely!
-
"Wonderful,all our needs catered for more."
-
"A lovely stay, the cottage was brilliantly equipped and beautifully decorated."
The only thing to mention was that we couldn't seem to get the hob working despite following the instructions, so it might need checking? On the whole a very comfortable base for a happy few days.
-
"The cottage is furnished nicely and is superficially clean but needs a good deep clean unfortunately."
10% more effort is required to make the overall experience a very good one. The Hoover didn’t work - filter filthy, and the washing machine is also in need of a good scrub out. The sofa was stained - hence the throws I imagine. New mattresses and pillows would make a world of difference to the sleep experience and a couple of sun loungers would have been nice. The ‘view’ from the garden was unattended and the whole air was that however it is being icleaned and maintained, it is being done lazily. Disappointing but 10% more effort and care would have made us rate the cottage as very good. We knew it was on a main road but walking is not recommended and so a car is vital to get out and about. Kitchen has lots of pans but no space for food - maybe some open shelving could provide this? Otherwise a great stay but would not return especially as I had raised the question regarding cleanliness after havibg read a similar review before we went… are these reviews addressed??
Thanks for your feedback issues with cleaners have now been addressed and new cleaning Team in place looking after property, new mattress and pillows added and storage in kitchen. Property Owner

"Perfect location, nice and quiet, easy access to whole island, well kept property, definitely will stay there again"
-
"Sofa wasn't very comfortable and could do with a clean."
Bath sheets would have been nice - quality and size provided a bit lacking. Otherwise very good cottage and location. Incidently we lost hot water due to boiler water pressure too low - was able to fix but should be investigated. Despite this we very much enjoyed our stay, thank you.
-
"Lovely cottage, beautifully decorated and in a good location, easy access to everywhere on Anglesey."
The minor negatives were no bedding being provided despite the listing stating that bedding was included (had to go to tesco to purchase bedding as hadn’t come prepared due to expecting bedding as per listing). Towels were on the bedroom floor (folded) which was a bit strange (I’m actually wondering if the housekeeper maybe got distracted and forgot to make up the beds / place towels on bed as also the laundry basket was full with used bedding). The bed itself was too low and uncomfortable which I appreciate is just personal preference, I know that you can’t please everyone! Also the road was very busy / with cars speeding past, so caution would be needed if you are bringing children. The cottage really is beautiful though with all the utensils you need in the kitchen and garden furniture outside in the lovely garden. Probably wouldn’t stay again due to the discomfort of the bed, but I can still recommend this cottage and also I think it is really good value for money.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, we are really glad you enjoyed the house and garden. We are very sorry that there was an error with the changeover and bedding not provided for your stay! If you had called us and let us know we could have been there within half an hour to rectify this for you. The owner has taken your comments about the mattress on board and is looking to replace this very soon. We really hope to be able to welcome you back to 2 Tan Rhiw agaon soon! Property Owner

"Thank you for letting us rent your beautiful cottage."
We had an amazing time and the cottage was a fantastic base. You have really thought of everything for the people and the dogs. We would definitely book it again if we come back to Anglesey. We would say one small thing to improve the experience, the postcode doesn't seem to go directly to the cottage, it may be worth adding what3words address which is https://w3w.co/ambushed.comfort.afternoon Thanks again Paul, Venetia and Dan

"The cottage is fantastic in terms of cleanliness and comfort."
We did notice a few ants appear in the kitchen from time to time but nothing too bad. Very well equipped in all rooms, especially in the kitchen, however probably too many pans/utensils/glasses which don’t leave much cupboard space for a family of 4 who bring their own food! The cottage is also located on a very busy main road which wasn’t mentioned in the description so it’s not really accessible in terms of taking the kids or the dog out for a walk (due to their being no pavement). The cars going past also don’t adhere to the 40mph limit! A large field is at the back of the property but due to a Private Land sign further up the road, we weren’t sure if this was accessible to us or not? I’d say this property is more suited to a couple or a family with a baby/toddler.
-
"Had a lovely stay in this cosy little cottage which had everything I needed for the short stay."
My only gripe was the busy road the cottage is on which was very noisy and not mentioned in the let details
-
"A great holiday home."
Clean and cosy. Well placed for exploring the island. Really loved the property and are planning a return visit.
-
"Beautiful home from home, very clean, warm and cosy and lovingly decorated."
The Christmas tree and decorations were a perfect touch, thank you so much! The garden was secure for my dogs, great to have parking right next to the house and the location was excellent for us, very easy to access the places we love to visit.
-
"2 Tan Rhiw was a perfect cottage for our short break on Anglesey."
The cottage was beautifully decorated, and well equipped, feeling like a real home away from home - so peaceful and cosy. We will definitely be booking again
-
"A fabulous modern cottage with everything you need."
We will definitely be staying here again when we visit Anglesey
-
"Firstly the cottage was done to a high standard there had been thought throughout when it had been done."
.. loved our stay but the only thing that let it down was the cleanliness... we did not expect to have to clean the bathroom floor, toilet and around the bath... The kitchen floor also had to be cleaned and the microwave had left over remains of curry inside so as you can imagine the smell was not too great that met us... Cobwebs were seen around the house too and the entrance porch we had to sweep that too... Such a shame especially in these times of the pandemic and also the fact that we could not get in until 5 so that deep cleaning can be done. Incase we felt we left the cottage cleaner than we found. So disappointing but the stay and the location and the ease around the island we found was exceptional...
We are sorry to hear the condition of the property did not meet your expectations and that we have discussed the issues with the cleaner, we are disappointed that you encountered this, as we wish our guests to love our home as much as we do. Property Owner

"Beautiful holiday home, In the paradise of Anglesey."
Very central for all of the beaches and attractions. Anglesey is a hidden gem. Maybe the outdoor patio area could do with an upgrade. The cutlery could have been more thoroughly washed.And more towels put out, which the owner kindly gave us! Would love to go back to Anglesey
-
"The cottage was lovely, very comfortable and clean, and the area was beautiful, with mountains one side and the sea the other."
Really enjoyed our holiday and the weather was great
-
"Lovely cottage decorated beautifully and very well equipt."
-
"A comfortable and clean cottage with good range of Kitchen utensils."
Good location, parking and enclosed garden. Would recommend and re visit.
-
"What a wonderful cottage the owners have thought of everything."
Very comfortable beautifully furnished and a great location to explore Anglesey. One of the best cottages we’ve stayed in. The owners have gone above and beyond with facilities. The cottage was very clean apart from cobwebs also mentioned by previous guests. There is only a small fridge so we had to shop daily for fresh food but the shops are not far away. The cottage is on a busy road with some motorists exceeding the speed limit so you would need to supervise children and dogs in the rear garden. Unlike most cottages there was no welcome tray with milk so you would need supplies for the first evening but again this wasn’t a deal breaker. We would definitely recommend this cottage and we would most definitely stay again. Thank you, the owners should be very proud of their holiday home
-
"Nice touch of leaving coffee tea etc and logs for the fire."
Both beds where very comfortable and warm. Lots of seating and throws for cold evenings Disappointed that half a toilet roll was left only! House is on a 40mph road but some boy racers about doing more like 80mph so need to be very careful with dogs or children as no front gates at all.
-
"The cottage was very homely, and the decor was done out lovely."
I liked the little touches especially with the dog cage and dog bowls etc. I would definitely stay here again and recommend to other it was ideal and the location was great. I didn’t want to come home! Thank you
-
"Although the cottage was lovely, modern and had everything we needed for a two day stay, we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the cottage."
There was lots of cobwebs on the walls and ceiling, we had to hoover the sofa as it was covered in bits, dead flys and daddy long legs in the window. All plates and utensils needed to be cleaned before use. Bath and sink had to be cleaned before use. There was lots of fly’s flying around on arrival. We understand that we are in difficult times with Covid-19 but felt we shouldn’t have to strip the beds and sort dirty washing such as towel, empty bins and expect to be out by 10.00am, considering this isn’t a cheap property to rent.
We are glad you liked the refurbishment of 2 Tan Rhiw, with it being a country cottage it can be difficult keeping it free of all the associated wee wildlife, We have had a chat with the housekeeping team in regards to the other points you mentioned. All the literature sent out to you before you booking should have explained the need to strip the beds and empty the bins as the health and security of our housekeepers is as important to us as the guests is.

"Our only problem was that a large stain had obviously been cleaned from the sofa ..."
Our only problem was that a large stain had obviously been cleaned from the sofa and for the first 3 days we were unable to sit on a large portion of it
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Tan Rhiw."
The cottage was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The location was great as it was 10 minutes from the Menai Bridge so you can get into Snowdonia very quickly as well as being fairly central to get everywhere in Anglesey. You can't really walk to a pub or shop but that didn't bother us at all. We'd highly recommend the cottage to anyone thinking of a holiday in Anglesey
-
"Beautiful cottage - so nice inside - everything we needed."
Central location and therefore great to get to anywhere and close to some Lovely restaurants in Menai Bridge. Would totally recommend.
-
"Great location and fab views."
Please make sure if you have any pets that the side gate is secure as the road in front of the house can get busy. Traffic travels goes pass the house at fast speeds even though it's a 40 mph limit. Struggled getting the hob working the first day but after a few runs got it working no problems. Lovely house, well decorated and spacious with ample entertainment should the weather close in. Look forward to going again.
-
"We stayed here for 3 nights the cottage is finished to a very high standard and very clean it has everything you need to cook up a storm in the kitchen have a chill out watching TV or playing board games on a rainy day we will most definitely be staying again couldn’t recommend it enough we loved it."
-
"First of all, the location of the property was exactly what we needed."
We knew that a bit of driving would be involved but we also used taxis too. The cottage itself is beautiful. The layout of the property is fantastic and would have easily housed another 2 people (there was 3 of us on this visit). Each room was spotless and the kitchen and dining room had everything we needed for every meal (including the all important wine glasses!) The cottage was lovely and warm and the beds were really comfortable. The surrounding areas were great to visit, especially Beaumaris. The cottage had lots and lots of information about things to do and see, we found this really helpful. Overall, we loved our stay at 2 Tan Rhiw and would certainly recommend a visit. We look forward to staying again sometime in the near future.

"This was a brilliant place, very well designed and organised."
Great facilities within the cottage, really enjoyed the fire place during those two weeks in November. Only one point, the kitchen needs an extractor above the hobs to avoid the build up of steam while cooking. Otherwise, it was perfect.

About the location
LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLL
Menai Bridge 2 miles; Beaumaris 6 miles.
Affectionately known by the locals as Llanfair PG, the Anglesey village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrnd robwllllantysiliogogogoch, also known by its shortened name of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll has the longest place name in Europe. It was artificially named back in 1860 as a publicity stunt for the railway station and translates from Welsh as "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the fierce whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave". Situated close to the Menai Straits, just off the Britannia Bridge, Llanfair PG has much to offer families. After having your photo taken next to the village nameplate at the railway station, head into the popular visitors centre for local tourist information. A short walk past the octagonal Toll House, towards Menai Bridge, will bring you to the Marquis of Anglesey statue and column which, for a small fee, you can climb the 115 steps to the top for superb views of the countryside and coastline. Nelson’s Monument can be easily reached on the banks of the Menai Straits, passing St Mary’s Church on the way. With several good pubs with restaurants, craft and gift shops and cafes, plus the beautiful Anglesey coastline within walking distance, there is plenty to entertain you all year round.
Note: The door into the kitchen is a little low for the tall, please mind your head.
