  The host was great, and wasn’t far away if we had a query, would have been 5 stars if we didn’t have the heating pack up half way through our stay, but the host was trying to get this sorted, and being on a farm with cattle with did have a lot of flies getting in to the property, but we did get given plenty of fly spray when we asked, if we go back that way we would return.

• "The cottage was lovely, and the hot tub was ideal for resting in after walks on the beach."

  The owner was really considerate & helpful, directing our lost food delivery driver, giving us information on where to go for lunches, games of pool etc. We knew the cottage was on a farm, but didn’t expect to be slap bang in the middle of it, so the views from the cottage weren’t great, and there was some noise from the farm machinery, gates banging & animals. What would have made our holiday better was that the Wi-Fi in the cottage struggled when 3 of us were trying to use it. One evening it didn’t work at all for any of us, which, with a teenager wasn’t ideal. And because there’s no Vodaphone or EE signal at the cottage unless you walked a few minutes down the lane we were a bit stuck. There are some board games and dvds in the cottage though which helped pass the time.

• "Had a fantastic week here with our three labradors."

  Lots of walks, beaches, beautiful scenery and wildlife around plus a hot tub to relax in at the end of the day. Some nice places to eat that are dog friendly including the White Eagle at Rhoscolyn. We enjoyed seeing the animals on the farm especially the donkeys and despite being a working farm it was quiet and relaxing. Gwyneth, the host, is friendly and helpful. The cottage was warm and cosy and had everything we needed for our stay. We are hoping for a return visit in the future.

  It was very clean with everything you could want while on holiday. the owner was lovely and very helpful. while we was there she had three donkeys arrive and we was aloud to go into the field to feed them which my two grandchildren loved . The hot tub was a wonderful addition we we used every night . there is a lovely beach only 4 miles away that has public toilets and places to eat and buy ice cream and coffee from.There isn't anything bad i can say about the cottage its a wonderful place to stay with stunning scenery all around . We all had a lovely time and would most deferentially return .

• "The cottage itself was nice and clean."

  However, the view- a pile of rubble in front of the hot tub was not appealing at all and a shame. Throughout our stay we experienced very poor water pressure and sometimes the water stopped completely for over half an hour at time. I was not happy, particularly as Sykes had sent us an email a month before telling us the water pressure had been fixed. I informed the owner and whilst I don't recall her apologising she provided bottled water. A plumber attended on day 3 and it improved slightly however we noticed tiny black bits in the water from water we had been collecting in saucepans! We were then concerned what had we been drinking! The owner did not appear interested and no compensation from Sykes! Very annoyed as we feel we have not had justice for what we had to put up with.

  I appreciate that you were unhappy before you went into the cottage and you were offered a full refund. Sykes offered you 4 other cottages and I offered to re direct your grocery delivery which arrived one and a half hours later. This is a working farm and we do have housing for cattle and silage pits.

• "Lovely 3 bed, 2 bath cottage right in the middle of a farmyard."

  Small, walled garden was ideal for letting our dogs out before bedtime, although a more agile dog would easily jump the wall. This is a working farm and the cattle sheds are right next to the house so if you don't like the smell or the sound of cattle, it's not for you. Also, there are tractors in and out and the cattle are driven right past the cottage, so mind your children. The proprieter, Gwyneth, is very warm and welcoming. She happily showed us around the farm and enthusiastically explained anything we were interested in. For the birdwatchers, there are Swallows nesting and many other birds around, including Buzzards and Kestrels. The Wales coast path is less than 1km away (almost at the end of the drive) and there are great views of the sea and Holyhead Mountain from the farm. The cottage was generally clean but the floor, although it has been bkeached just before we arrived, needed cleaning again and the plastic sofas (standard in dog friendly cottages) had to be thoroughly disinfected and wiped over by ourselves before we could sit on it. Everything else was clean enough. The bathrooms were well equipped and modern but the water supply was inadequate, so if someone was using the downstairs shower or the hose outside, you'd get no water upstairs. I believe this is being addressed soon with a new mains water service from the road. Hot water was very hot. Beds were comfy and clean. Lounge windows were too dirty to see out of. This is because it rained and then the tractors kicked up a lot of dust which then stuck to the wet glass. There is a hot tub in the garden which is cleaned and refilled each week and was very pleasant. Overall - a really nice holiday cottage, run by a lovely, genuine lady. For us, it was ideal. We would definitely stay there again.

• "We had a lovely stay in the cottage with the hot tub."

  It is on a working farm and we thought this added to the charm of the property. We read reviews prior to going regarding the water pressure. We found the pressure to be quite low when having a shower but managed to have one daily. There was never an occasion when we were without water. We enjoyed all the local walks that were accessible from the property and found this cottage to be a great base to explore Anglesey.

• "Beds are very comfortable slept well."

  But the lack of water was a real big issue,especially with a family of 6 .It felt like we were camping with no shower block .We had to decided either wash us or the pots .Upstairs shower never worked taps dribble water 1 min to fill kettle ,shower down stairs if it came on went hot very quickly so all wk felt dirty. When we approached the owner all we got was I know about the after pressure but nothing about getting it fixed. Also the photos don't warn you it's right next to the cowshed .

  We had a problem with the mains water and it was impossible to get Welsh Water to come to the farm, it has now been fixed. This is a working farm on which we have cattle and sheep, these animals do need sheds for the winter month I would like to state that two blue bath towels are missing, i can only assume that these were taken home in error by the customer.

  Nice, warm, comfortable cottage. The lady that owns the farm is such a lovely lady. Very helpful and informative. We stayed with 5 dogs, 99 year old grandma and a 10 month old baby. Beautiful views surround the property and with lambs outside our door just made the holiday. The only problem was the water pressure in the cottage wasn't great but I'm sure that will get sorted soon. Would like to thank Gweneth again for having us.

Our only slight negative would be that it would have been nice to have had table and chairs in garden to sit outside but it was early in season so understandably not there yet.

  Very clean and the host was really friendly and helpful. she couldn't have been kinder to our children telling the kids about the farm and the animals. The host encouraged the kids to feed the animals and pet the amenable animals. The hot tub was hot on arrival and was a massive bonus to be able to chuck the kids in whilst I unpacked after a long journey. Lovely walks from the cottage and a small beach walkable with older children maybe not pre school. The local town was a very pretty with another great beach and lovely ice cream shop. A great Cottage to go and be away from all the hustle and bustle.

• "Great location, and the proprietor was a lovely person."

  The accommodation was clean and there was plenty of room within the building, the only downfall was the water supply. The proprietor is aware of this and with having other cottages and a farm to run this is a priority to resolve. There is plenty of room for three vehicles and a small garden area; as a point to walk from the location is not far from South Stack Lighthouse and a pair of Standing Stones.

  Perfectly comfortable for our party of 4 adults and two small dogs. We were not expecting any welcome gifts but were pleasantly surprised to find biscuits and wine left for us, plus eggs kindly supplied during the week. Mrs Campbell, the owner, is very friendly and on hand if you need her, but doesn't interfere. Previous guests have mentioned the inconsistent water pressure which can be a challenge if you are in the shower and the water cuts out, as happened to us on several occasions. It is prudent to have a large jug of water on standby!

  The other thing was the water was pretty much non existent on most days due to the water coming from a bore hole and the cattle must have been really thirsty the week we stopped as we went out to buy bottled water.

  The Farm is in an area of outstanding scenery. The Farm owner and other staff were very friendly and helpful. The only criticism ( by the ladies in the party not the guys) that there should be a screen on the barn side of the hot tub even if only a bamboo or willow panel and yes we understand it is a working farm and a very well run one at that. The well cared for animals would be a great attraction to families with children.

• "This lovely two storey cottage, is situated right in the centre of a working farm."

  The owners are right on hand to help with any questions or problems that might arise. The farm is right off the beaten track near to the south stacks area of the Holy Island. The directions given are okay except for the 0.7 miles from turning right at the end of Porth Darfach road. Its around 1 1/2 miles before you see the farm sign on the peak of one of the sharp left hand bends. The views can only be described as breath taking - more so if the wind is blowing! It is wise to note that the cottage is 'upside down' that is to say the day to day living and the master bedroom and one bathroom are at the top and two bedrooms and a second bathroom are on the ground floor. The hot tub is lovely to relax in after a day out walking the many beaches, cliffs, and country parks that are all either right on the doorstep or a short drive away. Some beaches exclude dogs from March to the end of September, but we found that there is usually an area of the beach set aside where the dogs can let off. A lot of the pubs are dog friendly. All in all its a wonderful place to stay. Our 3 golden retrievers loved it!

The farm is in a lovely quiet position well away from the road and the only sounds you hear from it are country sounds. Birds singing, lambs bleating and the cows mooing. There is a badger set at the far end of the field that you look out over. Unfortunately I didn't get to see them.
