"Lovely little house in a great location, central to lots of amazing places."
The house was very clean and comfortable with good facilities. The kitchen is very modern, all appliances were easy to use and the beds were really comfy. Lovely shower too! Hooks on the back of bedroom and bathroom doors would be useful for wet towels etc. The only other thing we missed was a tumble dryer or heated airer for drying clothes/coats/shoes after rainy days. Would definitely recommend staying here for location and facilities.

"This was our second holiday in this lovely cottage overlooking the Menai Straits, where we watched boats bobbing up and down day and night."
The cottage is stylish and comfortable with all the facilities you need for a perfect stay. Within easy reach of Caernarfon, Snowdonia and Anglesey, Portmeirion is just over 20 miles away - so there is plenty to do whatever the weather. We hope to come again soon. Diolch yn fawr am bopeth unwaith eto, Gwawr ac Osian.

"We had a lovely stay."
It is in an ideal location for getting around north wales. We were out and about everyday. We were lucky enough to have good weather most the week so that helped. We got to see the local charity raft race which was brilliant! The property was ideal for the three of us. It had great storage which I usually find an issue. It was decorated well throughout, and had everything we needed in the kitchen. If I had to be picky I’d say parking was a pain as it was always busy (and there was usually a van blocking the view) . We couldn’t sit out in the back as the chairs and table weren’t in the best condition , the front windows were really difficult to open and the property was a little on the cold side. But those are just minor things that can be rectified .

"We had another lovely stay at Glan y Don, cottage was delightful, we have stayed at this cottage several times and hope to return in September, it never disappoints, is always spotless and well maintained."
Linen/towels etc always fresh and good quality. Everything that we need to make our stay a delight.

"This was our second visit to Glan y Don - we had an amazing week with some lovely weather."
We ate at Garddfon inn twice - fantastic food and service. The cottage is warm and comfortable and a great base for Snowdonia and Anglesey. We will definitely return soon.

"A clean, comfortable cottage in a great location."
We enjoyed it alot. The village has everything you need, including a fantastic pub, a lovely Thai restaurant, a shop and a couple of good cafes. Parking was never a problem. bar Lloft also good. Excellent location for exploring North Wales - Snowdonia, Anglesey, Carnarfon and Conwy all a short drive. Good public transport options too.

"We love everything about Glan y Don."
It never disappoints, its position, cleanliness, comfort would take some beating. Cottage is well equipped, beds are so comfortable. It’s very well placed for easy reach to the best destinations. We have stayed multiple times and do not have any thought of staying anywhere else.

"Lovely cottage ideally situated on the Menai straits - beautiful sunsets."
The village and marina are lovely and helpful friendly people. Great food at the pub a few steps away - we will be back soon !
-
"A beautiful cottage with the most stunning view."
The owners were very welcoming and everything was perfect - even the weather! The Garddfon Inn next door but three is superb! We only wished that we could have stayed longer. Thank you for everything. Diolch yn fawr am bopeth.

"My family has stayed in a few times in the place and it never disappoints."
We like the place, there’s a good pub with bice food, right next door. Playgrounds are for kids across the road, nice view of the Menai (canal?), we see mostly families, dog walkers, and people on water sports related passing by. There’s a good walking path nearby with nice views. Not far from Bangor, Caernarfon, and just about 20-30 minutes from Snowdon. To us is a nice hidden gen.

"Contacted the owner about the bathroom light we seemed to hit and miss when it came on."
If was used to soon after being switched on it didn’t come on. But that didn’t stop our stay there being lovely and in such a great position
-
"This was our second consecutive year at this property."
Open plan and sizeable, as well as spotless, it is an ideal set up for a family. The property itself is perfectly located on the seafront where the kids enjoyed crabbing and watching boats. And the property is a very short walk from a family run pub, which is also handy. Highly recommend.

"Second visit."
Love the position in Y Felihini, with sea, mountains, cycling, walking and 3 nice eateries in walking distance. Glad Y Don just misses a few little touches to really make it perfect - a few well thought out pictures and a welcome pack (so often provided by caring owners these days) would provide much cheer! Thanks again though.
-
"A great location for exploring North Wales."
The house was very clean and had just about everything you would need. However, I would have expected hand soap and basic cleaning essentials to be provided. Also, the high chair straps were disgusting. Overall, we had a great stay!
-
"We have stayed in this property several times, we go back to it for a number of reasons, we have come to know that the presentation of Glan y Don is always perfect , this is very important to us."
The position on the banks of the Menai Straits is lovely, it is well placed for visiting many iconic buildings and areas to walk, we find lots of new places every time we visit.

"Beautiful cottage, great facilities and wonderful location."
Thank you.
-
"Everything was exactly as promised."
Would definitely stay again.

"Lovely cottage in a brilliant location, looking straight out onto the Menai Straits."
Great foody pub just a few doors down and the Thai restaurant 5 mins away is also really good. The cottage had everything we needed for the week and is very modern and comfortable. Y Felinheli is a great location for getting over to Anglesey - Newborough beach, Beaumaris and Penmon point, as well as only being 20 mins into Snowdonia for zip world. Lovely off road cycle from the end of the road into Caernarfon.
-
"The property was spacious and spotless, and the location ideal - and the owners available and very helpful."
Highly recommended.
-
"Greet location."
Excellent facilities, perfectly clean and friendly host. Close to great pub too !
-
"This Lovely cottage on the shore of the Menai with a beautiful view over and beyond is a gem."
The area is so quiet and peaceful but very central for visiting areas in Anglesey and Wales, walks for all abilities abound.
-
"Spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and spotlessly clean property."
Superbly located on the Menai Straits.
-
"We had an amazing weekend at this cottage."
The views are 10/10 and the only thing that spoilt is was the weather (but you are in North Wales). Ideal spot for nearby activities and with a fantastic pub that serves fantastic food only four doors away....... you cannot go wrong!!! We will most definitely recommend this place to stay and we will be back again for sure!!!
-
"Lovely house."
Really liked the sea views! The house was very comfortable. As it was sunny and warm when we stayed we were able to take advantage of the fact that we were on the seafront by taking walks along the cycle path to see the boats in the marina nearby. Our toddlers enjoyed the nearby playground. There is a pub serving food close by and the village has an excellent Chinese takeaway. Would recommend this property.
-
"Amazing spot with nice views."
Our family enjoyed very much the place. House contains everything we needed to spend the week. The location is great with nice views. There is a nice pub two doors down the road, well recommended too. For food and drinks. Owners were very nice to us. We just can't spot any fault.
-
