  Y Wylan was the best holiday cottage that we have stayed in, everything that you needed for a home from home holiday was there. The cottage was very clean, tidy, bright and airy, we will be back!! The fresh eggs found on the doorstep one morning were wonderful. Thanks Gwyneth for the best holiday stay ever.

• "Property was lovely and quiet - exactly what we were looking for."

  Had a great time and struck lucky with the weather! Gwyneth was very friendly and helpful. Cottage had all the facilities you could want and was very bright and welcoming. Good spot for getting to and from walks on the island - if you have a dog would recommend looking online for a walking with dogs book - great walks inside!

• "This property is “far from the maddening crowds” easiest way to put it."

  3 miles from the nearest village. 1.5 miles from the stack and a 1/4mile from the road. Peaceful quiet tranquil. Gwyneth is the perfect host always on hand if needed. We have 3 Westies and the garden is enclosed which is helpful just to let them out when needed. The property is clean and tidy and well proportioned. Oh and one other thing, loved the 4 resident donkeys visiting everyday. Really recommended.

• "We had a great week here and our 4 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel’s loved it too."

  There is a small beach a few minutes drive away from the cottage that we visited most mornings and the views from the cottage were beautiful! The garden was enclosed and perfect for our girls and we arrived to wine, biscuits, coffee and milk in the fridge which added that extra special touch. Our host greeted us on arrival and wasn’t phased by the barking of our very excited dogs and was always around should we need her. We were concerned that the other 2 cottages on either side of us would hear our dogs barking but when we spoke to the ‘neighbours’ they didn’t hear a peep as the walls are so thick. We will definitely be back! Thanks for having us!

• "Lovely cottage in the middle of nowhere, great for us and our four dogs because we like the peace, not so good if you like the pub or eating out."

  The cottage itself was nice, it provided everything one needs, plus a nice welcome pack (fresh milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine …nice), the bathroom extractor fan needs replacing (noisy and it struggles to start sometimes), a little general maintenance would do the property good (silicon around work tops and shower tray need attention. Would I go back…yes…probably (shame we both came down with covid on the first day).

  The variable weather didn't help the holiday but can't be helped. There were a lot of flies about but the owner kindly provided fly spray. I jarred my back part way through the week and found the settee a bit low afterwards.

• "The only problems we found was that our labrador could jump the enclosed garden wall (not the owners fault), so we put her on a long lead and attached it to a stake in the grass, problem solved."

  The field opposite the cottages was ideal as both labradors could have a good run. There seemed to be so many flies so we purchased some fly spray. The cottage owner was so helpful and bought a shower chair to us as I am disabled. Would definitely go back Rob and Andrea Sloan

• "This was our fourth visit so we are obviously very happy here and always enjoy our holiday."

  What others may find useful to know is that phone signal, internet and catch up tv are all quite limited. If you want to get away from technology it's great however if you need to be in constant contact with the outside world it could prove difficult. There is a DVD player so it could be a good idea to take a few films in case the weather is bad. Lovely clean, warm, comfortable cottage where we have always been made to feel very welcome.

  Wifi connection was good. Television was difficult to work at first but eventually sussed it out. The cottage owner was very friendly and helpful with welcome gifts including a bottle of wine. Cottage was a bit isolated and could have done with a local walk where we did not have to use the car. Enjoyable holiday with only one wet day.

• "Very enjoyable stay."

  The cottage was lovely and clean and comfortable. It was spacious enough for my husband and I and our two dogs. The cottage is set on a farm with lovely views and is very relaxing. There is plenty of parking and it is situated 5 to 10 minutes from the A55 where you can soon reach other towns, villages and beaches. Holyhead is a little run down, however, we found the marina, penrhos coastal path and south stack were enjoyable places to visit. Overall our stay was excellent, our only gripe would be that sometimes there was only a trickle of water for the shower so we had to strategically work out the best time for showering. We would, however, definitely return again sometime.

  The perfect place for relaxing or walking and sightseeing. There was everything you needed supplied in the cottage. The support offered by Debbie was above and beyond and with my husband having disabilities and a dog with seizures knowing if anything happened someone was there to help me if needed was invaluable.

• "The cottage is fairly isolated which is not necessarily bad."

  It is not within walkable distance of a pub, shops, restaurants etc. The mobile phone signal is poor to non-existent and the wi-fi is variable in quality (maybe dependant on your adjoining neighbours usage). It is ideally sized for two folk (plus pet) and would recommend to others as long as caveats about communications are isolation are known. Anglesey as a whole was fantastic and well worth the visit.

  The cottage when we found it was very nice, and the owner was lovely, could have done with a little more cutlery and crockery we were in a one bedroom cottage for two and there was only two mugs and two cups three tea spoons. There was no freezer in the cottage, it was only by chance that we found the communal freezer in an out building when we heard the neighbours talking about it. I know I seemed to have mcomplained a lot but the cottage was lovely and we had a very good holiday, very peaceful and lovely scenery

  Quiet and relaxing. The owner is a lovely, friendly lady who goes above and beyond. Secure garden area for the dogs, which is a lot larger than it appears in the photo. WiFi and mobile reception can be a bit hit and miss but you are in the middle of a small island. It’s the perfect excuse to get away from social media. Other than that, everything needed for a relaxing break is here. Highly recommend this property.

  Host nice and left wine,biscuits and brought fresh eggs one morning. 5 min drive to a lovely beach/cove and accessible to rest of the island. Views are beautiful and we had great weather for the time of year. CONS : massive let down was the shower water pressure, it was a trickle at times and unacceptable. Such a shame as bathroom was stunning. TV needs replacing as colour kept going very dark , also to a smart tv so people can have a variety of things to watch too. Wifi very intermittent but sometimes this is expected in remote areas. All in all we had a lovely holiday but would not return due to the cons I've mentioned.

  Perfect location for walks with dog friendly beaches close by and several walks around the area within walking distance or a car journey if happy to travel. Gwyneth was there to meet us on our arrival and then left us to enjoy the holiday but lives on site if anything was required. In the cottage was a tray with biscuits and tea and coffee so you were set to go before unpacking. She gave us eggs on one of the days which were fresh that day and they were lovely. We took 4 dogs with us and this wasn't an issue with them at all they settled straight in. Would highly recommend going again and we will no doubt be booking for next year.
