"Pen Y Prys is in a stunning and excellent location."
The holiday let is beautiful and immaculate. John and James were fabulous hosts on hand if needed. The welcome pack, bed linen and towels were of high quality and very much appreciated. We had an amazing holiday exploring the island and beaches. At the end of the evening the ducks were very entertaining and put on a really good show. I would definitely recommend Pen Y Prys. Thank you John and James.
Dear Julie Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Pen Y Prys Annexe. We are so pleased to hear your positive feedback about the location - in particular the linen & towels which we take great pride in. It is great to hear you enjoyed exploring Anglesey. It was a real pleasure to be your hosts and all the very best for the future Kind regards John & James Property Owner

"Property has stunning views and is in a perfect location to get away from it all."
It has everything you may need, with a very generous welcome pack on arrival. John and James are very friendly and welcoming and on hand if needed. Excellent location for walks on the beach, bird spotting or just watching the changing views. Lots of places to visit nearby, Beaumaris, The Hidden Garden, South Stacks lighthouse, The Motor Museum also worth a visit ( did the Motor Museum on the one rainy day we had).The Panton Arms Pub nearby also good, very friendly and good food reasonably priced. Would definitely return and could spend a week just watching the Indian Running Ducks, Geese, and Chickens which were very entertaining, not forgetting Tom the cat! All in all a wonderful week for our first visit to Anglesey and don’t think we could have found a better place to stay.
Dear Derek Thank you for the wonderful feedback and rating your stay so highly. It was great pleasure to welcome you all for your weeks stay at Pen Y Prys Annexe. It’s so good to hear you managed to explore all the interesting places that Anglesey has to offer and the weather was good to you! We wish you all the very best and look forward to welcoming you back in the future Take care John & James Property Owner

"Another lovely week spent at beautiful Pen y Prys."

"Lovely comfortable clean holiday cottage set in the most amazing location."
You can start your holiday from the door with the beach and walks from the doorstep. The view of the Bay changes daily with the tides bringing a new delight every morning when you look outside. From the ducks and chickens in the garden to the sea birds in the streams we were entertained by them all. We visited the whole island from here and walked many miles of the breath taking coastal paths, beaches, fen wetlands, forests,NT homes and gardens and pretty country lanes. Anglesey has it all and deserves its status as an area of outstanding natural beauty and no more so than this little cottage in Pentreath Red Wharf Bay. It was a pleasure to come back to after each day out exploring. We were sad, but very grateful to say good bye to it at the end of a thoroughly enjoyable weeks holiday. Feeling totally relaxed and restored thanks to the hospitality of John and son James who made us most welcome. Highly recommend this cottage to singles, couples and small families Thank you John and James for your kindness and generosity during our stay. I’m am now a convert to duck eggs for breakfast Best wishes
Dear Yasmin Thank you for choosing to stay at Pen Y Prys Annexe for your week on Anglesey. We are so pleased to hear you really enjoyed your time here and exploring our beautiful island.

"We were welcomed by John when we arrived and everything was fully explained."

"Beautiful holiday let, stunning location and John and James made us feel so welcome."
We had a lovely holiday here and would recommend for anyone. Lots to do in the area, local beaches are great. A tip for school holidays, get parked up early, the beach car parks get busy! We fell in love with the ducks! Great entertainment in the mornings and evenings.

"On our second stay at this property, we were again so delighted with it."
The welcome from the hosts, the cleanliness, the welcome pack and facilities provided were as we had experienced previously. The ongoing entertainment from the chucks and ducks just increased the enjoyment of staying in this lovely property. Sitting on the balcony watching the tides and the stunning view was so relaxing. We would highly recommend it to anyone.

"Had a great week at pen y prys."
Would definitely recommend this property. The location is perfect for the beach and coastal path. The cake eggs milk tea bags prosecco and bottle of beer was a nice surprise. The running ducks goat's chickens and geese were funny to watch.

"Fabulous place."
We had a fantastic week. Just a couple of suggestions. A hairdryer would be useful and a cafetiere for coffee (we brought our own) so it was fine. It would also be helpful to have a couple of hooks in the kitchen to hang tea towels.
Dear Loraine Thank you for choosing Pen Y Prys for your holiday. We are so pleased you found it to be fabulous and had a fantastic week. Thank you for your feedback we have now purchased a stylish Crome Cafetière, two hairdryers and have installed some hooks to hang the tea towels. Take care and it was lovely to see you all.

"Helpful and friendly owners."
Immaculately kept, presented and well equipped cottage, set in a quiet and beautiful location. Inhouse entertainment provided daily via the ducks, geese, chickens and nanny goats who are looked after with such care on the surrounding land. A most enjoyable stay. Highly recommended.

"Cosy but modern and thoroughly presentable, Pen y Prys is a credit to John and his family."
Spotlessly clean and well thought out, all amenities one would expect are present and correct to make it a real home from home. Situated as close to the sea as is possible without getting one’s feet wet, the views are spectacular and (IMHO having stayed at several locations in the vicinity) the best in Red Wharf Bay. We leave Pen y Prys a little saddened for having to do so, but thoroughly refreshed; and like others before us, we shall miss the morning and evening parades of our feathered friends as they are tenderly guided home by John and James. Oh btw, James, many thanks for the kind gifts: they were delicious (the eggs not the birds!). Debbie and Jon
Dear Debbie & John Thank you for the wonderful feedback and for rating your stay so highly. It’s great to hear you enjoyed your stay at Pen Y Prys Annexe especially that it felt homely with a great beach location. We hope you had a safe trip home. Enjoy the eggs! With Best Wishes John & James Property Owner

"What a wonderful time we both had over the Christmas period from the moment we arrived when Elaine warmly greeted us to the lovely property."
The location and views are stunning high up on our best list. The thoughtful provisions left in the cottage by Elaine and John only added to making this a very happy stay. We would highly recommend Pen -Y - Prys for a holiday.
Dear Neil We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your Christmas week at Pen Y Prys. Thank you for rating your stay so highly. It’s great to hear you had a happy stay and you would recommend us. It was lovely to meet you both and we wish you a very happy 2023. Take care and best wishes. Elaine & John Property Owner

"The cottage was in a fabulous location but the bedrooms were very basic and had very limited ceiling height due to being in the Eaves."
..the bathrooms were also difficult to use because of the ceiling height and a shower was impossible to have due to the layout...there were no tables, drawers, chairs, wardrobes or lamps in the bedrooms, which you would expect... I think the property should be changed to one decent sized bedroom with a bathroom as this would be a lot more comfortable and homely...we were a couple and thought it would have been way too small for 4 people... All in all we enjoyed our stay at Pen-y-Prys and the owners were a lovely family and we really enjoyed watching the livestock...
Dear Karen It was lovely to meet you both and thank you for choosing Pen Y Prys Annexe for your week away. We are so pleased you found the location to be fabulous and really enjoyed watching the livestock. Thank you for your comments and feedback. As per the description to maximise space we decided to locate the wardrobe between the two bedrooms and drawers under the beds for storage. In addition to the main bedroom ceiling lights, we located separate fixed bedside lamps on the walls (as shown in the photos). Having two double rooms not only helps to accommodate for 4 guests but also caters for 2 guests that are unable or prefer not to share one double bed together e.g. friends or family members. We hope you had a good journey home and enjoy the free range eggs. With warm and best wishes Elaine, John & James. Property Owner

"Property was spotless."

"Pen Y Prys was exactly as stated in the brochure."
The owners were very welcoming and even gave us some beautiful fresh hens eggs. The property was very clean and beds were very comfortable. The facilities and kitchen/cooking equipment was all in very good condition. The highlight had to be watching the owner’s “ Indian Running Ducks “ and stunning chickens in the field next to the property. There are so many lovely places to see on Anglesey we were spilt for choice. Would highly recommend this property for a relaxing Anglesey holiday
Dear Angela Thank you so much for choosing Pen Y Prys for your holiday on Anglesey. It gives us great pleasure to read such a lovely review and your kind words. We pride ourselves in providing very clean and comfortable accommodation. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed seeing our waterfowl & poultry collection. Property Owner

"A wonderful little property in a beautiful location."
Fantastic views out of every window and very close to the Coastal Path for walking. The hosts were very helpful and always available if required for information. No wonder this property is nearly fully booked for next year. Enjoy the entertainment from the Running Ducks, Chickens, Geese and Goat next to the property. We would definitely return once a date becomes available.
Dear Andrew It gives us great pleasure to read such a lovely review of Pen Y Prys. We are delighted that you enjoyed the views of the bay and exploring the costal path. As always, we are glad you enjoyed the daily entertainment from our livestock. We would love to welcome you back soon. With very best wishes John, Elaine & James Property Owner

Wonderful hosts who provided a lovely welcome pack. Extremely clean and very comfortable beds. Everything we needed was there and the free eggs were the icing on the cake.

"What a lovely property, with great views and hosts!"
As a family staying here it was perfect for what we wanted - clean, tidy, well equipped and near some beautiful beaches, we didn’t travel far.
Dear Rebecca We are so pleased to hear you found Pen Y Prys perfect for your family stay on Anglesey! Its great that you enjoyed staying right on the beach and we’re able to relax without needing to travel. We wish you all the very best as a family John, Elaine & James Property Owner

"We have just returned from our 2nd visit to Pen Y Prys and have already booked our 3rd."
The cottage is very clean, comfortable, well equipped with spectacular views, a truly peaceful retreat. The owners are more like friends than hosts, on arrival we had a very warm welcome, also a gift pack and lovely fresh eggs off James who has some very entertaining geese, ducks, goats etc. Thank you so much Elaine, John and James for our lovely stay
Dear Janette As always it gives us great joy to welcome you back each year to stay at Pen Y Prys. Thank you for such great feedback.

"Lovely hosts."
Clean modern premises with super views and location.
Thank you so much for finding time to write a lovely review. We are really pleased you liked the location and views that Pen Y Prys offers. It was lovely to meet and chat to you all. Take care and all the very best John, Elaine & James Property Owner

"This little’Wendy House ‘ is just lovely."
It was really clean and the ‘ Welcome’ supplies were a real bonus. The location is simply stunning (if a little of the beaton track) but even my car got to sit on the beach. The property would benefit from having a dust pan and brush and also the mattresses are a little past their best. The bedding was fresh and clean but has really seen better days and the pillows could do with an update.The use of the washing machine and tumble dryer are a real bonus. The family that own the property were delightful and helpful particularly their son.
Dear Jeanette It was lovely to meet you both and we are so pleased you found the accommodation to be really clean. We agree that the location of Pen Y Prys is stunning - especially the sunsets in May! We knew you were travelling such a long way to us and ensured your welcome pack was extra special. Thank you for your feedback and we have acted on all the points raised With best wishes John,Elaine & James Property Owner

"Amazing cottage, beautiful situation overlooking the bay and such welcoming friendly hosts."
Wonderful holiday
-
"Mr and Mrs Rigby and James made our stay so good."
They were very helpful and left us cake for a treat. Although the accommodation is small and compact, it offers outstanding views and provides a good base to explore. If you are tall, you may struggle with the showers. The kitchen is well equipped, with everything you need, if you choose to eat in. There are several good eating places, which you can walk to along the coastal path. You can also drive to them. We had a fantastic holiday, such a tonic for the soul. Thanks.

"Pen y Pris is a delightful little cottage with beautiful views across Red Wharf Bay."
The owners are friendly and helpful and it was most enjoyable watching them tend to the chickens ducks, geese and goats on the land close to the cottage.
-
"Ok first thing read the description PROPERLY."
. 1.looks bigger in photos. 2.upstairs apart from bedding area is small. 3. Taking a shower isn't easy by any means. The good things. 1. Bay view is lovely. 2. Nice and peaceful. 3. The owners Elaine, John and James are such lovely people. 4. Onsite livestock are very entertaining, ducks and geese ☺ 5. A good base to explore the Island. 6. Sunsets are amazing
-
"The location was wonderful."
Close to the beach and interesting walks. The family have chickens, runner ducks and goats which we watched morning and evening. The weather was not brilliant but the cottage was so homely and comfortable we didn't mind too much. Lovely family who made us very welcome. We shall return and definitely recommend this property.
-
"We were very well looked after and welcomed by John and Elaine , they provided us with local information and nothing was too much trouble for them ."
The views are fantastic , watching the tides coming and going and being entertained by the Ducks ,Geese and goats . James their Doctor son gave me valuable advice with regard to my medical condition which I will always be grateful for . The shopping is nearby and a short distance away you can find all the major supermarkets . Great place to visit
-
"Proximity to the Beach and Red wharf Bay, the family that run it and the ducks, chickens and Goats they keep."
-
"It was a brilliant location with an amazing view from every room."
It was a stones throw away from the beach. Very clean with friendly hosts.
-
"Despite the current situation re the 'plandemic', Sykes consistently failed to respond accurately to my enquiries until the week prior to our holiday."
The accommodation was very good and we would like to return but will not 'knowingly' book with Sykes again. I doubt this feedback will be published, but if it is, it will be one point in Sykes favour for being helpful in the end.
-
"It’s quite remote on the opposite side of Red Wharf Bay and it doesn’t have the sort of beach you can sit on."
It’s popular with dog walkers and horses. Apart from that the views are spectacular.
-
"Pen-y-prys has one of the best views you could hope for!"
There must be lots of people in their £1m+ properties around Ynys Môn wishing they could've built their fancy places here. But Pen-y-prys has more in other ways too - it has character. It's not something laid on especially for visitors but it's still great to watch the numerous and entertaining runner ducks as they're released every morning and go back inside every evening, plus the many other birds like the French hens, the geese, the cockerel, the hens and also the donkeys. And whilst there's privacy at Pen-y-prys it also has very friendly owners when you see them from time to time. Headroom is a little restricted upstairs with the sloping ceilings and baths or sit-down showers are the order of the day, but generally speaking there's plenty of space to spend a week away from home in comfort. Highly recommended.
-
"Another great week at Pen Y Prys even at the start of the Corona Virus before the restrictions fully came in."
Even with some places getting ready to close still enjoyed the walks & scenery of the island & on the doorstep beach. Our hosts very caring & friendly & not only did we enjoy the antics of their ducks & geese but the amount of bird life on the shoreline & was chuffed to see the migrant Dark Bellied Geese at high tides. Definately will be booking here again.
-
"This delightful, well-designed and immaculate cottage is a treasure."
The location could not be more beautiful - the very last dwelling before the spectacular beach - and the owners are really lovely. We received such an easy and warm welcome, with milk in the fridge and cake on the table, and our entire experience was one of peace and calm and charm. The little adjoining field is home to some award-winning runner ducks and chickens, and it was an unexpected bonus to see these comical creatures - fascinating to watch, and judging by the enthusiastic comments from one and all in the Visitors' Book, we're not alone in being completely enchanted by them. This is the kind of place you find yourself wishing you could stay in forever - just perfect! Pentraeth is a lovely part of Anglesey, and it is within easy distance of so many stunning and interesting places. This time we visited the striking and massive Caernarfon Castle, and enjoyed the many informative displays now housed within it. We even had a rainbow, just to put the icing on the cake of a wonderful stay!
-
"Pen Y Prys is a beautifully well presented holiday cottage in a spectacular location."
A wide variety of wildlife on the doorstep as well as access to coastal walks. A perfect place to relax and unwind.

"The listing clearly shows wifi and smart tv of which neither are provided."
We wouldn't have booked this place had we known this. As this was our Xmas break we particularly wanted the treat of a smart tv to watch films. We needed wifi to be in video contact to share time with our close family in Australia, my elderly parents in UK and our close friends in South Africa who were having a week of celebrations prior to getting married. We couldn't share in any of our friends and family moments by video link from the property and were extremely disappointed. We would not have booked this property had the listing been accurate regarding these. I spoke to the owner and he confirmed that there was no wifi other than that of their attached house, which rarely works as they are at the end of a limited band width supply. He was surprised that the tv might show films on net flix as he didn't think the tv could do this - so why is a smart tv listed? The wifi wouldn't support any video call at all and was mostly unavailable, I checked it with a wifi meter app and rarely did it bump onto one out of five bars and was usually shown as unavailable. The owner explained that wifi rarely works at this place due to no band width being available, a problem he had previously brought up with his broad band supplier which he was aware had not and could not be resolved. At this property we couldn't receive our own wifi on various devices and the phone signal was low so we were left out of sharing our usual and expected on line face to face enjoyment of our friends and families celebrations. I did manage to get one film to show on the tv on my Netflix account on the tv but this kept band wheeling and was impossible to repeat due to no wifi signal being available throughout the rest of our stay. The photograph of the side view of the property we found misleading as both of the access doors shown are doors into the owners much used utility area, loo and store cupboard with an adjoining internal door to the holiday property lounge, which take up quite a bit (?one third?) of the ground floor area but this isn't explained. The holiday property is accessed through the patio doors only. Apart from the expectation that the ground floor was the footprint of the property rather than just the much smaller area, the property itself was great as were the owners who are usually close by, attending to the many ducks, chickens and geese and two goats.
Thank you for taking the time to write feedback. As mentioned we are looking to improve the WiFi service available but are frustrating confined by the network. The mobile signal is dependant on the providers and again is affected by the geographical landscape of the island. If you have any questions regarding these services in the future please do call for advice. Property Owner
