"I booked Monarfon for a reunion for myself, 4 schools friends and 1 baby."
We wanted to be near the sea, but mostly we wanted a nice, big, warm house to catch up in. We ended up having the most fabulous weekend! The living spaces are stylish and relaxing, the bedrooms are spacious & comfortable, and the hot tub is heaven! The kitchen has every pan and utensil you could possibly need and we enjoyed many communal meals there. Sue, the owner, was so kind and accommodating and did everything in her power to make sure we had a great time… which we did! I am planning on returning with my family and can heartily recommend

"A lovely property in which to share fun times and memories with the family and in a great location for exploring Anglesey."

"Lovely place to stay for our family gathering."
Lots of space. Great response to a couple of queries. Only comment would be the fridge was a little small for the size of property we were only 8 not a full house and it was very full. Excellent stay in a lovely area. Thankyou

"We had a lovely stay."
The property was spacious and fulfilled all our needs. The kitchen had everything you could need,the beds where comfy and the playroom was a gods send for our granddaughter.

"The property is generally in good order with all services, showers and toilets in good order some general maintenance is required as expected in what I believe is a popular rental property."
From one FM to another keep up the good work. On arrival we found two of the quilt covers gave off an odour possibly due to a lack of airing or not the best storage prior to use. I suggest any damaged items such as the two external basket type squares be disposed of. Your clients shaft driven pump should be stored out of view and the old railway bench repaired or again stored out of view. My other observation was the step down into the side washing line area, the step down being directly onto a cast iron manhole cover These covers can dramatically fail and I suggest a small step be constructed or a 3x2 flag be placed over the cover to address the possible H&S issue. My family and I had a very enjoyable week in an imposing well appointed property. Many thanks.

"We loved our stay at Monarfon."
Beautiful stylish decor. Fab hot tub. Lovely bed linen and comfy beds. Friendly check-in and very understanding owners regarding some damage my dog did
-
"Lovely property which suited a family of 6 adults, 3 children and dogs."
Hot Tub was used a few times even though the weather was not the best but fun was had by all. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and the grandchildren loved the playroom. Property was in a central location for the places we explored.
-
"Beautiful property with excellent facilities."
Loved the little details, treats for the dogs and squirrel food.
-
"The house was lovely and beautifully decorated."
All the comforts of home. We were a multi generational family and it suited all our family needs. The location was great. In easy reach of beaches and attractions.
-
"A lovely house with incredible design."
Very big and we really enjoyed the amount of energy suites. We couldn't use the hot tub for the first night as it wasn't heated in time so this could be an issue if you've booked with this in mind.
-
"A very enjoyable relaxing stay considering , we took 4 families with young children!"
The playroom was a hit with the kids providing a variety of different toys, plenty of space that we weren’t over crowded everyone enjoyed their stay!

"Beautiful house with all the facilities you could need."
Everything had been thought of and we all had a great time as a family from ages 7 to 70!
-
"My minor quibbles would be there was no dressing table in our blue bedroom to put things so we borrowed the table from the landing and could also have done something in the bathroom as there was little room for toothbrushes etc."
and no where to hang towels, this also applied to another bathroom and also downstairs bedroom could have done with a chest of drawers.
-
"We have had a lovely stay in a nice house."
We had 4 generations and a dog and there was plenty or room, plenty of toys for the children and a lovely outdoor space.
-
"We all had a lovely time, the house is beautiful plenty of room."
Downstairs bedroom was ideal for my husband with limited mobility. The grandchildren enjoyed the playroom plenty of things for them to do. The dog enjoyed herself especially down on the rocks by the sea.
-
"The house is lovely, the kitchen is fully stocked for home cooking and the decor and furniture all comfortable and gorgeous."
There wasn’t anything we needed extra than what was there. A definite gem of a property.
-
"Beautiful house with more than plenty pet & child friendly settings."
Throughout nicely decorated with all facilities available incl Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. Property is very clean and garden nicely maintained. We had a great family break!
-
"Came here for a family 60th."
House was stunning, great location, the garden is a great sun trap and large enough for kids to run around. Had a brilliant time and would definitely recommend the property.
-
"This property is not accessible for someone with limited mobility at all!"
!!!! The downstairs bedroom and en-suite bathroom is very small in comparison to the large roomy upstairs bedrooms.
Thanks very much for your feedback, we appreciate it as are always trying to improve the experience for our guests. We have had a number of guests with limited mobility staying in the ground floor room who have been very happy with their stay. As mentioned when I spoke after you left, if we had known that your husband was in a wheelchair, we would have directed you to the back doors on arrival and put the ramp out for you for step-free access. The upstairs bedrooms are very large and the downstairs bedroom and wetroom are still a good size as per the photographs, as we discussed, we are also adding some handrails to improve the guest experience so thank you.

"This was such a beautiful house!"
! We all had a great time here. All of the rooms were so lovely, comfy and relaxing. We felt very welcome. The kitchen is fantastic for large groups, we sat round the large table for hours playing games and catching up. All the kitchen facilities were spot on with everything provided you would ever need. Bedrooms again, lovely and spacious. I know my bed was very comfy! The house definitely made our holiday! The only constructive feedback I would give, the hot tub we couldn’t use till the second day as it still wasn’t warm enough. It didn’t ruin our time but it would have been nice to have this useable on the first night. Thank you for providing such a lovely stay!
Thanks for your lovely feedback Kerry, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry that the hot tub wasn't warm enough until the next morning, this is because we empty and refill it in between each stay and it takes about 10 hours to heat up all the water. We really hope you will come and stay with us again, maybe for longer so you can enjoy the hot tub all week! Property Owner

"The property was exactly as advertised."
Very roomy accommodation with excellent quality of towels, bedding etc. There was a problem with the fridge which we reported. The hot tub was fabulous and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. The owner of the property was extremely helpful as my family organised various events for my 70th! I have no problem in recommending this property to others!
-
"Beautiful, well equipped, comfortable home and a lovely garden with plenty of different seating areas and perfect for kids and dog."
We had 4 generations staying and had everything we could possibly need. Only have one small suggestion, which is, the upstairs front bedroom would benefit from a mirror (for hair drying mainly) as the bathroom mirror is not usable for this purpose.
-
"A very clean and comfortable house for our family of 8 adults , teenager and 11 year old, plus Poppy the dog."
Thank you. Monarfon is a home from home with beautiful and interesting decor and furnishings. The 1930s style house has been tastefully modernised, keeping some of the historic features.The central heating was warm and cosy. There was plenty of hot water for bathing and showers. We enjoyed use of the hot tub, even in the chilly April weather. The owner and local representative were very helpful for our queries. We would definitely recommend staying here and would hopefully return ourselves.
-
"Lovely house, spotlessly clean, with everything you need the owner communication was great."
Central place to explore the island Would certainly book again.
-
"Absolutely beautiful family friendly home from home!"
The owner was so helpful! The thoughtful touches were everywhere in the house, and everyone had been thought of, from the adults and children, to the doggies as well! The weather wasn’t the best but that didn’t spoil our weekend at all, as the house was so cosy, and we played the games that were provided. We especially loved all the eco friendly thoughts, the beautiful hand wash etc, toiletries and cleaning products! It’s worth a trip to bull bay and the beautiful Trecastell Hotel over looking the bay! Food was beautiful, lovely staff and the views were amazing! We’d just missed seeing the dolphins unfortunately. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
-
"Great house for a family get together."
Well thought out in every detail. Monafon feels like a home, not just a rental.
-
"Amazing house for family staycation."
Super location and incredibly interior. Thank you to the amazing hosts for making us feel so welcome.
-
"A beautiful, spacious house in a great location with easy access to the beaches and sites of Anglesey and Snowdonia."
Plenty of room for quiet moments or shared family time, especially in the kitchen diner which is a real focal point. Great communication with the agent and the owner from start to finish, adding to a great rental experience.

"This beautiful home is very well located to explore Anglesey."
It is clean and well maintained. Lots of small luxury touches make this one of the best properties I have stayed in. We took our dog, who loved his new ball and our three adult children and partners joined us there. plenty of space for us all, Added bonus the hot tub was used some evenings. I would love to go back here and would highly recommend this beautiful home for your stay. Thoughtful and caring owners Many thanks for making our holiday memorable

"This is a superb property, comfortable and plenty of space for a family holiday."
Fabulous decor throughout, this house has been carefully and thoughtfully put together with provision for even the youngest members of the family. Added bonus was an enclosed/ safe garden for children and dogs and also a wonderful hot tub! Would highly recommend this property.

"Really enjoyed our holiday at Monarfen."
Lovely house, Chioma was most helpful, plenty to do and see around the area. Will definitely return.
-
"Fabulous holiday home with some gorgeous special touches."
Very comfortable, offering a home from home experience. The Garden and hot tub are a great feature to this property, which is very private and not overlooked at all. Great for adults and children to spend hours in. There isn’t a bbq but we ended up buying one, so no big deal. We found some gorgeous local beaches as mentioned in the information provided by the owner. The host was on hand for any issues and communicated brilliantly. A great area to visit, you won’t be disappointed and I would 100% recommend this property.

The property
This striking white-washed holiday home rests a stone's throw away from the historic coastal town of Amlwch, on the sought-after Isle of Anglesey.
Boasting a breath-taking contemporary interior and perfectly positioned to explore the delights of North Wales, Monarfon is the ideal base for your next group getaway!
A paved pathway greets you at the foot of this remarkable dwelling, leading you through the beautifully-maintained front garden and up a small set of stone steps and into a charming hallway, providing a handy storage space to house your belongings away from the main living areas.
Follow the wooden parquet flooring through to the sitting room, tastefully decorated with two elegant velour sofas and flooded with natural light welcomed in through the period bay window, enticing you to put your feet up and enjoy a moment of peace in front of the television, warming the room with the glow of the rustic woodburning stove in the cooler evenings.
Be charmed by the spacious kitchen/diner, where the grand dining table takes centre stage in the sociable space; gather your loved ones together to recount the day's adventures, after making use of all of the modern amenities provided to ensure an enjoyable self-catering experience.
Stepping outside, end each day in style with a luxurious soak amongst the bubbles in the hot tub, perfectly positioned in the south-facing garden, providing a lovely spot to bask in the tranquil setting of the evening sun as the little ones keep themselves entertained with a movie marathon in the snug conservatory.
Completing the ground-floor is a delightful double bedroom benefiting from access to it's own stylish en-suite shower room, perfect for guests with limited mobility.
Climb the staircase to the first floor where you'll find four further bedrooms all with their only TV, there is a triple room, providing the perfect space for the kids to enjoy sleepovers together, alongside three additional kingsize bedrooms, each featuring a contemporary monochromatic colour scheme for a timeless elegance, two of which benefit from access to their own en-suite.
In the morning, kickstart your day with an invigorating rinse in the spacious walk-in shower in the gleaming family bathroom or add a touch of luxury to your stay and soak your muscles in the stylish roll-top bath resting atop the eye-catching Victorian tiles.
Get better acquainted with your surroundings and take the short stroll into the heart of Amlwch where you'll find a fantastic selection of eateries, serving a variety of delicious foods including home baked goods and traditional pub grub; head to the local butchers to pick up some fresh locally sourced produce to prepare in the comfort of your holiday home, or in true seaside tradition, indulge in a portion of fish and chips with a walk along the front.
There's plenty to keep you entertained, with the Copper Kingdom Centre, once the largest copper mine in the world, telling the fascinating tail of how the small fishing village became one of the most industrious towns in Wales; lace up your walking boots and follow the heritage trail across the lunar landscape of Mynydd Parys Mountain, with views into the remains of the heart of the Volcano.
Venture further afield and visit the popular tourist town of Menai Bridge, where you can marvel at the stunning architecture of the bridge as it towers over the Menai Strait aboard a super-fast RIB boat, or meet the quirky wildlife that call Pili Palas Nature World home, if you're lucky enough, you might even get to cuddle an adorable Kunekune pig.
Whether you're looking to unwind or experience adventure, choose Monarfon as a base that you'll be delighted to return to.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.
