"A pleasant stay in late September."
The weather was glorious showcasing the beautiful view from the property. The owners house is very close, but we were unhindered. The only let down for us was the shower didn’t get that hot, and it would have been good to have a tv in the kitchen diner. There is an Ariel on the wall, so presumably there has been a tv at some time. Some dishwasher tablets would have been nice( there was salt). It’s very narrow on the lane to the property if not approaching from the village. We used the local pub for Sunday lunch , recommended. The property is very peaceful and quiet, lovely sunsets and no light pollution to help stargazing. Value for money for the view alone.
Thank you for the feedback. New shower has since been fitted. Property Owner

"A wonderful cottage, with all amenities and a fantastic view."
A well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed. Great parking. Owner provides all necessary information when sending key collection details. Happy to recommend.
-
"A comfortable, clean property with stunning views from each room ."
A great location for exploring Anglesey and the Lyn Peninsula. We had no wifi for 4 days but the owner was very responsive and tried to fix it. Would be great to have a few more leaflets about things to do in the area.
-
"Beautiful setting, property had everything we could need on a weeks break."
Owners friendly and very responsive to any queries.

"Location beautiful, cottage was nice but a bit tired in places, Bedroom dated & in need of a bit redecoration ie Wallpaper lifting on seams, bedding could do with renewing, couple of Radiators had small leaks & cooker oven kept tripping Electrics!"
Would also helpful if there was a welcome pack with some information ie Bins/recycling local amenities etc! But we did have a nice stay with beautiful views!
-
"We have been going to this property for years."
It is always spotless and well maintained. It manages to be close to some of the most beautiful parts of Britain while being close to shops and ameneties. Fantastic holiday home.
-
"Fabulous property; we loved it."
Just a few very minor points that need addressing: 1) the light for the sink mirror in the bathroom does not operate. 2) the pieces of ironmongery that hold back the curtains in the bedroom need fixing to the wall. Very minor items - but thought you'd appreciate.

"Cottage was lovely."
Could not fault it or the location in anyway- highly recommended for a couple.
-
"Our stay at Ysgubor Penrallt was excellent."
We couldn’t have asked for more. The bed was comfortable with a good view of the Menai straits and it is so peaceful there. It is higher than the other properties so the view is wonderful, especially from the sitting room which is up a circular wooden staircase. There is a lovely place outside to sit and enjoy the view too and absorb the atmosphere. All cooking utensils are there to self cater which we did. We would definitely like to return in the future.

Peaceful and quiet with wonderful view across the Menai Strait. Had all facilities needed for an enjoyable stay, lovely and clean. Would love to stay again.
-
"Lovely character building with wonderful views over the Mennai Straits."
House design is upside down with sitting room on first floor reached by a spiral staircase. House is very well equipped and comfortable for two people.Loads to do in the area either around Snowdon or on Anglesey.
-
"We really enjoyed this stay."
Great view, very comfortable and we were treated like the customer.
-
"Bedding and towels needs updating."
Extractor fan in bathroom on too long and is noisy.
-
"Excellent property in a beautiful location - would highly recommend a stay here if you want peace and quiet accompanied with a fantastic view."
We shall definitely be back!
-
"Excellent quality holiday home."
We have returned many times. It is so peaceful and within easy reach of many fantastic places to visit.
-
"Excellent two person property, fantastic as a base to explore Snowdonia, Anglesey and the Lleyn Peninsular, designed "upside down" to make the most of the views across the Menai Strait."
Also a lovely patio out front, also with the view across to Anglesey, to soak up the evening rays. Tried three restaurants in the town - the Garddfon Inn, La Marina and Tafarn y Fic. All were good but the pick, for me, was the Thai restaurant in the Tafarn y Fic.
-
"The Toilet is in a small space which is a bit awkward."
Some items that were listed wernt actually at the property, (dvd player and I pod docking station) These were my only faults, everything else was spot on
-
"We had a great time staying at Ysgubor Penrallt."
The property is tucked away in a lovely location with stunning views. Nice clean and tidy property, would stay again.
-
"A lovely place to stay, great accommodation everything you need with fantastic views of the Menai Straights with glorious sunsets."
Anglesey and Snowdonia mountains very close by and a fantastic Chinese takeaway down the road, what’s not too like, thoroughly enjoyed our week there
-
"The property was mainly nice."
We found the sofa very uncomfortable and we kept slipping forward. The area around the dishwasher was grubby especially around the hinges and the wall. However we did enjoy our holiday but the property just needs a spruce up. X

-
"We chose the destination for the reason of relaxing."
And that was exactly what we did. Beautiful place, and beautiful views We would definitely return.
-
"Great place for a break to explore the area ."
Good view of the straits . It would have been better if there had been a welcome pack letting you know information about the location such as local facilities, paths to walk , places of interest , local restaurant menus etc .
-
"Everything was fine, warm and comfortable."
Thank you
-
"Excellent holiday cottage with fabulous views overlooking the Menai Straitt."
Ideal location for local walks and ten minute drive to Anglesey. Would most definitely return.
-
"Lovely cottage with stunning views."
It is really well situated with good road connections. The village has a good range of places to eat. The owner popped by too. We will definitely go back there next time we go to North Wales.
-
"After staying at many 5 star properties we were disappointed by this one so i will be truthful on how we found it,on entering the bathroom no toilet rolls were provided and the shower mat was left covered in black mould and obviously was not checked, to be fair the owners removed it after being told and provided toilet rolls and did apologize but never replaced the mat,it should have been checked prior to our arrival, the radiator in the bathroom was rusty not exactly what you expect to see when paying for a premium property."
The duvet cover on our bedding did not smell fresh which left the bedroom with a odour .Trying to watch a tv program over the internet was met by constant buffering so pretty pointless,On the plus side the views were stunning from the patio and the owners were very pleasant they did buy us flowers and chocolates to apologize for the problems
-
"Great cottage in a fantastic location."
Cottage had everything you need for a comfortable holiday. Good location for exploring North Wales and Anglesey.
-
"A super property, well presented with extensive views over Anglesey and the Menai Straits."
Very private and quiet. You need to pick your way carefully up the approach track but it is not really a problem. Superb location with Llanberis (Snowdon) about 8 miles away and Caernarfon, Conwy and Bangor not much further. A perfect base for exploring Snowdonia. The weather favoured us and we had a marvellous holiday. Thoroughly recommended.
-
"Location is perfect for a week away."
The cottage provides a great base. Perfect view over the Menai Strait.
-
"The pictures on your website didn't really show the close proximity of the ..."
The pictures on your website didn't really show the close proximity of the owners house so that was a surprise the owners in fairness were great and there weren't any issues and it didn't effect the view so honesty is the best policy in that case as for the property it was lovely new and clean probably the only thing I can think of as an improvement would be a tv in the kitchen the TV point and socket are already there location wise it was brilliant and that's why we picked it easy access for angelsey the lleyn Peninsula, llanddudno and port merion which visited on the Tuesday highly recommended for our anniversary
-
"Accommodation was as described."
Very clean and tidy with plenty of room, but possibly suited to a couple with younger legs than ours, as the spiral stairs to the lounge were very tight and quite steep. Very comfortable furniture, in particular the bed. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay, even with the partial lockdown.
-
"Wouldn't hesitate to recommend ysgubor penrallt."
Superb location with stunning views over the menai straits. Owners were helpful but unobtrusive. Very happy with the whole experience
-
"A beautiful place to stay with superb views of the Menai Straits."
-
"Excellent well-equipped property in a stunning location overlooking the Menai Strait."
Minor problem with WiFi speedily resolved by owner.
-
"Very enjoyable, lovely place, beautiful views pleasant owners, Thank you for a great few days"
-
"The holiday cottage was lovely had everything we needed and so spotlessly clean."
Very cosy ¹1 The view is beautiful would highly recommend it. So much to do in the area Castles, beaches, snowdonia national park etc.

"On arriving the cottage was very cold and all downstairs floors still wet."
One bed room wall has mould all around the window and the one behind the bed has wallpaper starting to peel off. The kitchen... Microwave has rust inside the door. The markings on the cooker are all rubbed off and you are left with a piece of paper to fathom it out. There is a wet patch above the patio doors and there are rust patches on the washing machine. Upstairs there is a new smart tv but the wifi connection makes it immpossible to watch anything unless you are prepared to sit all night while it buffers its way through a programme. On Tuesday night my wife turned round to see a large snail making its way along the wall behind the sofa.. A measure of how damp the building is !!! The bathroom is on the small side though adequate .. But the extractor fan was filthy with cobwebs. All in all this is NOT the five star accommodation that i expected to find when i arrived and well below the standard of all the other Sykes cottages we have rented over the last few years.
Many thanks for your feedback. We are really sorry to hear that the property was not as expected and as we are ‘onsite’ we would have been happy to address any issues that you had during your stay if we had been made aware of them. We have been here over 12 years and pride ourselves on providing a comfortable stay for our guests and our visitor’s book that is in the property confirms this. Our normal check in time is 3pm, however as you arrived an hour early our cleaner was keen to accommodate your early arrival, but she was still working the floor was wet. It also meant that she was unable to give the premises the final once over and refill tea/coffee etc. In addition, the heating is on a timer and would have come on prior to your 3.00pm arrival to ensure the property was nice and warm, but this had not happened as you arrived early. This property was renovated/built in 2010 following strict building regulations and we can confirm that it is not damp. There were some condensation spots on the wall due to a lack of ventilation but these spots have now been cleaned. The small areas where wallpaper had started to peel have been addressed and as we are now at the end of the season any areas that need decoration or touching up will now be done. The microwave has now been replaced and as the property is in a rural area the wifi can be a little inconsistent but we have had no previous concerns from guests. The dials on the cooker are worn but are clearly labelled on a laminated piece of card. Thank you again for your feedback Property Owner

A very good place to explore Anglesey and Snowdonia and return to after a day out to be able to sit outside, relax and enjoy the views which are lovely
-
"Comfortable and very quiet 2 person accommodation, with great views across the Menai Straits from the upstairs lounge (reached via a spiral staircase)."
An ideal base from which to explore Snowdonia, Llandudno and the North Wales coast, the Lleyn Peninsula and Anglesey.
-
"Location view owners very helpful and friendly real home from home"
-
"Bins was un emptied, kitchen was dirty, spider webs hanging from the ceiling , bugs in the bed"
Thank you for your feedback and we are so sorry that you had this experience at the property. We really wish you had contacted us during your stay as we would have been able to address these issues whilst you were in the property. Property Owner

"Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage, even though the weather was indifferent to say the least."
The accommodation was spacious and well-maintained and we would certainly hope to return. This is our first time booking a Sykes cottage. If they’re all as good as this, you’ll be hearing from us again.
-
"Lovely cosy, well equipped cottage with great views over the Menai Straits."
Very helpful and friendly owners. The spiral stairs upto the lounge may be a bit tight for some visitors. The last 100-200 yards are across a roughish farm track. There is a pathway down to the village shop/ pub but appears rather steep.
-
"Great modern cottage in a beautiful location."
-
"We had a fantastic week at Ysgubor Penrallt - this is a perfect property to explore the superb North Wales area."
The location is excellent and there is a nearby pub (The Garddfon) which does excellent food (booking recommended as it was very busy even in June) - the property has excellent kitchen facilities, eating in is like being at home. The route down to the village is pretty steep but the upside of that is the views over the Menai Strait are stunning. Bed comfortable, shower excellent. The proprietors are friendly and very helpful - we would highly recommend this property and will consider staying there again the future.
-
"This is not a 5 star accommodation in our opinion"
-
"Lovely modern cottage with great views."
Convenient to local amenities and surrounding area. Would highly recommend.
-
"This cottage is a bit more expensive than those we usually book."
You are paying for the view and because it is a spacious and bright conversion. The view of the Menai Straights isn't panoramic as the owner's house blocks half of it. The patio would be superb on a warm summers day. The furniture and equipment was adequate. I'm not sure if the antique colour TV was supposed to be a feature or not?
-
"The cottage ist the perfect spot to reach all attractions in the area."
The owners are very friendly. The cottage is well equiped and there is all you need.
-

"Beautiful place, owners lovely to deal with, the only negative is the 3pm check in time, the day is half over especially now with the dark nights, but overall a lovely break."
-
"This is a great cottage in an excellent location."
Modern and comfortable living right in the heart of a great place for relaxation or extreme adventure. We have stopped there on a number of occasions when we have gone to explore North Wales.
