"A very comfortable and warm accommodation in an excellent location."
Owners make you very welcome. Local pub (excellent meals including Sunday lunch), beach, cafe and shops (Tesco, Coop and Spar) all within walking distance. Bangor, with it's long pier and numerous shops within 30 minutes drive. One criticism of Anglesey local councils - public toilets are closed at the end of September.
-
"Lovely little house, perfect location excellent value too."
Everything you need and the owners were so helpful and easy to contact too. Definitely recommend.
-
"This cottage is in an ideal location, being close to all the amenities of Benllech."
The Cottage is larger than it appears on the photos and has everything you need. I would agree with a previous review that a shelf/cupboard is needed in the bathroom for wash bags etc.

"A lovely stay at this little cottage."
It was exceptionally clean on arrival & we really appreciated the thoughtful gesture of fresh milk in the fridge, tea & coffee. Set in a great location for Benllech village centre & the beach & very comfortable for our family of 4 & a dog. There is a well stocked small Tesco a stones throw away & an array of great pubs, cafes & restaurants within a very short work, plus a co-op the other end of the village, so everything you could need on hand. We found a fast charging point 15 mins drive away, which worked well as we stopped on route to Trearddur Bay. The enclosed decking area was perfect for our dog. Tiny quick wins would be hooks on the back of bedroom doors as well as bathroom & some shelving & storage in the bathroom, which had plenty of space for it, as I had to store all my toiletries on the bathroom floor which was a pain. I bought & left some pegs for future guests as all our washing (really appreciated the washing machine!) kept blowing off the airer when we left it outside to dry. A retractable washing line over the decking would be a great addition. We really enjoyed our week here - a great little cottage at a bargain price. We would definitely return & have already been looking at availability over the summer. Highly recommend.

"Lovely spacious cottage in an ideal location."
Thank-you for a wonderful stay, we slept great and woke up to beautiful views. All the amenities a family could need are provided and short walk to the centre of town for the beach, cafes, shops and pubs.
-
"Hello, our stay at Bryn - Y - Don Cottage was just lovely."
The cottage is always clean warm and comfortable. So quiet just what is needed for a restful holiday. Owners are very helpful. My only nit pick is the arrival at 5pm. But will be back at some point. Thank you
-

"The cottage was a lovely large size and very well equipped."
The master bedroom is huge with the most storage space we have encountered in our many cottage holidays. The 2nd bedroom again was of a large size with lots of storage. The bathroom was so clean and again plentiful in size. The main living/dining and kitchen were very large and very well equipped; all areas were extremely clean and comfortable, with a number of extras included that were very welcoming. The cottage itself was very warm and cosy, with no issues with any appliances. The owners are very warm, friendly and welcoming, with full up-to-date information about the local area, including up-to-date menus for takeaways/restaurants. If anyone is unsure about car charging, there are a number of charging stations 5 miles away, including some fast chargers so that was not an issue; all I would suggest to anyone staying here in the future is whilst the directions are accurate the lane is very difficult to locate as it doesn't look like a lane! Another thing to note is that Google Maps is not accurate regards the walk to the beach (maps state it is mostly flat) as the hill is very steep to walk back up to the village. This has to be one of the best cottages we have stayed at via this site and will no doubt book again if we were to once again visit this area

"All in all the cottage and location was good."
However the heating and hot water system was not up to scratch and was always cold there. The hot water was Luke warm. The shower cubicle doors kept coming off the rails. The fridge compartment doesn’t chill properly and food was going off. I was for 12 nights and would have hoped for clean bedding in between but nothing was offered. One evening there was no heating or hot water for 8 hours and I couldn’t rouse either owners at all and this was awful as it was mid December and was freezing. On the day I checked out the owners contacted Sykes to ask me to contribute £70 for the gas that heats the cottage which I refused. All in all a bad experience

"Everything about it was perfect, owners were fab, location was great, couldn't ask for anything else x"
-
"We had a lovely stay at Bryn Y Don Cottage."
The house was clean, cosy and well placed and the owners were helpful and friendly. We will definitely return!
-
"My hound and I had a great holiday at Bryn y Don cottage, despite the weather."
The cottage is comfortable and well equipped with very friendly and helpful owners.
-
"This is a beautiful cottage in a great location."
A short walk to the shops & pub & take aways & beach. The cottage was absolutely spotless & there is everything you need for a comfortable stay. The owners are a really lovely helpful couple, nothing is too much trouble. We were very lucky with the weather ☀️and our dog Tess loved the various beautiful beaches. We had such an amazing stay that we have booked again for next year. Highly recommend staying here. Perfect week, thank you
-
"This was our third visit to Bryn Y Don Cottage, and yet again, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The cottage itself is lovely and the owner was friendly and helpful. There is lots to do in the area. We went to the beaches at Benllech, Red Wharf Bay and Traeth Bychan. Benllech beach has a dog friendly zone and the other two beaches are completely dog-friendly. We also went to Ynys Tysilio, a lovely small island with a small church, which is accessible via a permanent walkway. The nearby pub, The Benllech serves lovely food and is dog friendly too. We also had some lovely food from Talent House, a Chinese takeaway and the Golden Fry chippie.
-
"Lovely stay at Bryn Y Don Cottage in July (despite the weather); made to feel very welcome by the owners who offered advice on places to visit."
Local facilities very good - Co-op, Tesco Express, fish & chip shops, coffee shops all within walking distance including the beautiful beach. Would definitely stay again.
-
"We first visited this property for a fortnight in 2022 and we enjoyed the experience so much we spent a fortnight there in June 2023."
We have booked again for 2024 such is the quality and location of this property. This property is comfortable, clean and well equipped. It is in a highly convenient location with just 2 minutes walk to the pub or to get groceries. Private parking on the driveway outside the front door is a big plus. The owners, a pleasant and helpful couple, live just a few doors away. Please be aware that this property has no garden even though several web sites say it has. It has an attractive decking area to the front of the property. A garden might be important to some people.

"Our first visit to Anglesey."
The cottage was in a prime position off the main road and very peaceful. It was very well maintained, clean and comfortable and very equipped. Would certainly stay there again.
-
"Hello, Our stay at Bryn-Y- Don Cottage was brilliant."
The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable break. Situated off the main road, so no traffic noise. There is a Tesco local just up the road for all your shopping needs. The owners are close by and very helpful, a really nice couple. Would recommend a holiday here. Hope to stay again soon. Sandra
-
"We had a fabulous stay at Bryn y don cottage!"
It was lovely and clean and has everything you could possibly need, as well as.a central location. The owners were really helpful and just on hand. Would highly recommend for a peaceful break near the sea, and I hope to return soon!
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage."
It was spotless and you would not know it was dog friendly. Everything you needed was supplied. Would highly recommend it and will be returning. A lovely walk to the beach, a little steep on the way back but a couple of benches to rest on.
-
"What can I say, exceeded my expectations on all counts."
Cottage spot on facilities same. Location very good if you want to can stay here and never use your car. Beach, shops, pub all short walk. I can't think how I could improve anything. Then the bonus owner lives nearby. Wealth of knowledge and very friendly. Can't recommend enough. Will rebook for sure.
-
"Had everything I needed for a week in Anglesey."
A very comfy cottage. Very handy having a sliding gate to enclose the front part of the cottage for my dog.
-
"This is a lovely, cosy, comfortable cottage."
Ideally situated for everything. Everything that could possibly be needed is provided for. Spotlessly clean. We had a wonderful few days in Bryn Y Don and would not hesitate in returning. Thank you.

"Had an amazing stay at the property."
Modern, very clean and tidy when we arrived. Great facilities in the house with everything you need. A few minutes walk to the beach, shop, pub and other facilities. A perfect base to explore local beaches and attractions. Loved Beaumaris, which also had chargers so easy to charge my car.
-
"Well located cottage within walking distance to the beach."
The cottage was clean and provided everything that our family of 3 needed.
-
"Lovely welcoming cottage with everything you need even milk."
We really enjoyed our stay
-
"What a cracking little place this is, near to the beach (though up a steep climb) and it has everything you need."
Well fitted kitchen and spacious lounge, very comfy and obviously well cared for. Will definitely stay again.
-
"Spotlessly clean property in a very convenient location."
The kitchen had all the utensils and crockery and pans etc. that were necessary and all very good quality. Hand soap and washing up liquid provided, in fact everything that was needed. There was ample storage upstairs for clothes and belongings. The location was excellent with Tesco, Co-op and Spar nearby. The beach was within easy distance although the hill back to property wasn't particularly easy but the walk is well worth it since the beach is beautiful! We had a very enjoyable week made even better by the property. Thank you.

Property excellent, very clean with good facilities and in a great location The owners are very welcoming and helpful Would recommend
-
"There was everything you could need for a stay."
Conformable and well equipped. The only downside is the hill to the beach. It's 5 minutes to the beach but 20 back
-
"Lovely place, spotlessly clean, excellent location."
Will definitely be booking again.
-
"Cute & cosy cottage, perfect for the 4 of us and our dog."
Really clean & welcoming, all the facilities you need for your stay there was even milk in the fridge for a cup of tea when we arrived. Ideally located as a base to explore the island and literally minutes walk from the beach. Carol popped in on the day we arrived to check we were all ok which I though was a lovely thing to do. We’d highly recommend the cottage and will definitely be returning.
-
"Thanks we found it very comfortable, close sea amities, pub, & shops"
-
"This is our second stay at Bryn-y-Don and we will go back."
A lovely, clean cottage with everything you need and the owners are very helpful. They even decorated the cottages for our Christmas stay. . It’s in a great spot for the beach, shops, pub and takeaways. And dog friendly which is great.
-
"Very nice warm clean cottage."
Sofa too soft and uncomfortable. It was nice that it was decorated for Christmas. Owners very friendly and helpful (and nearby). Great proximity to centre of village (shops, take aways, pubs and walk to beach plus access to coastal path).
-
"Very comfortable home."
Owners very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our stay. X
-
"Love coming here, 2nd time in 2 years, always clean, the lady always nips over to make sure everything's OK."
I put a 3 on the comfort and thats only because of the sofa, well worn (although very clean) and far too soft, struggled to get out of it but other than that..) our favourite place to stay when in Benllech, fabulous location from the town centre & the beach, its just a shame we didn't book quick for next year's break :(
Thank you for this feedback. The three piece suite has been replaced with a new one. If you go onto the website you will be able to view the new suite. Property Owner
-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
The cottage was very well equipped, warm & comfortable. It's perfectly situated for a walk to the beach. Even in a very grey & wet October its a lovely area & so close to everything. Only a 2 min walk to the bakery, butcher, fish shop & cafe.
-
"We stayed here for a week and despite the weather, had a fantastic time."
The property is modern, yet with a homely and warm feeling. Super comfortable and clean, you can tell it’s well looked after. We had the joy of meeting the property owners due to a battery needing replaced in one of the fire alarms and it was sorted immediately and with a friendly face. A short walk to the beach -( beautiful and Sandy ) and local pubs/fish and chips shops (I would highly recommend Finny’s - seriously was delicious) in a perfect location for a short drive to enjoy various days out! We’re looking at coming back again, Thankyou for a wonderful stay!
-
"Nothing We didn't like about our stay at Bryn y Don."
Great walking,great location.
-
"This is the 2nd time we have visited this cottage and it didnt disappoint."
Very Clean, comfortable, well equipped and handy for shops and beach. Its also very quiet and away from the road. The owners live nearby and are very friendly and available for help if needed. They are a mine of useful info on the area. Benllech beach is gorgeous and is worth the walk down the hill. We will return!
-
"We hired the house as part of a big family group of 16 which included the large house next door."
The house was lovely and clean with everything we needed, it is in a great location in the centre of lovely Benllech and walking distance to the shops, beach and pubs. We had a fantastic family holiday as plenty to do on the Island despite the on and off weather and the only small negative comment because we had 2 teenagers was that the internet connection was poor. Description of house and small decked area only at the front was accurate and therefore wouldn’t be as suitable for family’s with younger children and a dog who like to run round outside unless you have access the the big house next door which has a great garden space. Lovely helpful owners and would definitely recommend.
-
"The cottage was fantastic to be honest I,ve never stayed anywhere that was so immaculate and clean."
Met the owners who where really nice people and so helpful, will be booking again next year fantastic location love it
-
"Booked Bryn y Don for a last minute five day break, we really enjoyed our stay although the weather wasn’t perfect we made the most of it."
The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed in the kitchen.The bed was very comfortable and we could see the sea from the back bedroom. We were minutes walking distance from Tescos fish and chips and a pub also a little cafe yet we couldn’t hear the main road. Carol the owner who lives two doors away popped in to see if we were alright and explained about how to over ride the timed heating but we didn’t need it as we were out a lot of the time, she was very helpful and told us places to visit. We would definitely stay again as it it was home from home, so cosy and comfortable. Kathryn and Barry Bates

"Excellent hosts ,lovely property"
-
"Excellent accommodation, in good position, off main road (so quiet) and only a couple of minutes walk from shops/chippy."
Friendly and helpful owners. Pubs/restaurants still closed due to pandemic, but didn't spoil holiday
-
"The cottage was lovely and was in a quiet location which was near to all the shops/eateries that you would ever need."
It was ideal for our dog as well as safe. The beach and surrounding area is beautiful and I can't recommend it enough. A lovely holiday
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Bryn Y Don Cottage."
It was very easy to find following the directions given. The cottage was clean, bright and spacious and the kitchen was fully equipped. The cottage is in the middle of Benllech village, with a wide range of local facilities available within easy walking distance, such as a Tesco Local, several takeaways, pub and seafood shop. I recommend the Golden Fry chippie, which does an excellent click and collect service. The beach is a ten minute walk away, with a very wide beach at low tide. Dogs are permitted on the northern and southern extremes of Benllech beach, though these sections are inaccessible at high tide. There are several other dog-friendly beaches a short drive away. From the cottage, the beach is visible, as are Mount Snowdon and other peaks. The sea is actually only a few hundred yards away and makes a nice relaxing sound from the patio. The cottage makes an excellent base for visiting local attractions. We took our dog with us to walk across the Menai Strait via the Menai Bridge and then the short distance along the coastal path to Church Island, which is a small island accessible by a permanant tarmaced walkway which is home to the small St Tysilio church and adjoining graveyard. We also visited the railway station at Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll which is nearby. We have also been to Holy Island to take a walk down the 400+ steps to Short Stack island and its lighthouse, although it is currently not possible to cross the bridge to the island due to Covid restrictions. In any case, dogs are not permitted on the lighthouse tour. We would highly recommend this cottage and have already booked our next stay.

-
"I would like to say,Sykes cottages made my family’s holiday one of the very best and I will be booking future holidays through Sykes cottages again."
Thank you Sykes cottages. Lee derry
-
"The cottage was perfect for our week away."
The track is a bit rough down to it but it is very quiet and private. Extremely clean with free WiFi, all the appliances you need for ease. The beds were comfortable and the shower was ok. Towels, tea, coffee and sugar were all provided with dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid etc. Within walking distance to a playground and supermarkets, takeaways and a chemist. As well as restaurants and pubs. Benllech beach is a nice walk from the cottage but take the car if you are going to spend the day on it as it is a steep hill to walk back. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone that is looking for a holiday on Anglesey. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. We would definitely use this cottage again it’s just a shame there is no garden but there is decking at the front.
-
"The only significant issue we had with this accommodation was finding it."
I may have missed some communication perhaps, but we understood that it was a property directly on Amlwch Road, however eventually after several enquiries with the locals we found this property down a short track, so if this information is not already on your website, then I would recommend that you make the necessary change so that future customers don't have the same problem.
-
"Lovely cottage very clean with every thing you need, Handy for beach, Pub, and shops."
-
"The cottage was like a new build absolutely immaculate we have booked again for next year."
-
"The property is in a very handy location, just a short walk down to a wonderful beach and plenty of restaurants and shops also."
-
"Beautifully arranged cottage with every facility you could wish for on holiday."
Extremely friendly and welcoming owners . They have attended to every detail and a family’s needs . It was a pleasure to meet them . We highly recommend this holiday home, it’s quiet position yet it’s proximity to other services and beach . Top marks !!
-
"This is a great house and we would happily stay here again."
Missed having a microwave though.
-
"Lovely clean cottage in beautiful location, really well equipped and lovely ..."
Lovely clean cottage in beautiful location, really well equipped and lovely comfy bed the owners very friendly and welcoming, 5 minutes walk to centre of Benllech which had Tesco, chip shop,Chinese, pubs and plenty of other amenities ,the beach is less than 5 minutes away by car
-
"Lovely well equipped cottage in a very quiet location."
-
"Very clean comfortable cottage nice and warm easey walk to beach and shops pub and cafe ect."
one thing i think I should mention there is a large bump in the end of the lane and I managed to hit the bottom of my car even when I went slow , keep to the LHS as if you are coming out of the lane.
-
"The cottage was in a lovely place, we had problems finding it in the dark, as it wasn’t marked out."
The instructions to find it were spot on, but really hard to follow in the dark. We could see the sea from the cottage, which was lovely. The cottage was really comfortable & we would recommend this cottage to anyone wishing to visit Anglesey. The only thing missing was a hairdryer, but that’s the only fault, other then that it was wonderful.
-
"Lovely, well appointed cottage."
Spotlessly clean. Towels and bed linen provided. Well equipped kitchen. WiFi. Very comfortable beds. This was my first time in a holiday cottage, never mind in a Sykes Cottage. Delightful cottage, and I would be more than happy to do a return visit. Thank you.
-
"Lovely place to stay."
Very comfortable and clean. Walking distance to all shops and the beach. The outside light didn’t work outside , we used our torch when taking the dog out. Other than that it was lovely. X
-
"Really nice cottage very clean and tidy, great location short walk into village and down hill to the beach the dog loved it!"
Would book again.
-
"Lovely comfortable cottage."
The village of Benllech has a Tesco Express, a fish and chip shop, a brilliant Chinese takeaway shop and a even a dog friendly pub that serves food all day. 5 minutes walk down the hill and you are on the lovely sandy beach where you can walk for miles. Everything my dog and I needed for a restful break away was catered for.
-
"Fabulous place to stay with all the comforts of home."
Close by to shops, beach , safe for our 2 dogs , private and had a lovely feel to it. We knew we could contact the owners if any problems . Would definitely recommend.
-
"Brilliant location and cottage was spotless!"
Owner was really lovely and accommodating. Highly recommend!
-

-
"Very enjoyable holiday, and and found the cottage home from home."
-
"Really lovely 2-bed accommodation ."
Very clean and well presented ,with nothing too much trouble for the lovely owners.Would love to come again.
-
"We booked this holiday at very short notice as a last minute getaway for the half term holidays."
We arrived to 2 very welcoming owners who greeted us and made sure we had anything and everything we need. They gave us some hidden gems to visit and told us all the best places to eat. We stayed in the cottage for a week and loved every minute. We had all the amenities we would need to accommodate a family of 4, one of which is only 18months. We had a cot, highchair and stair gate ready in the property meaning we didn’t need to worry about bringing our own. With a TV in every room and good WiFi connection this meant our teenager was more than happy too. The property is extremely well decorated, a nice bathroom and lovely comfortable beds it’s also lovely and warm so we didn’t require heating at all, not even at night! The kitchen is well equipped so if your looking to do plenty of cooking you’ll have everything you need and no stress afterwards with an dishwasher for the pots and pans. The location is 5 mins from the very picturesque Benllech Beach and 300 yards or so to the local shops, chip shop, takeaway and pub. The owners live next 2 doors down and are in hand to help if required. If you want a stress free break book this cottage!!! The only downside for us was that we could have stayed longer..... Thanks Carol and Gareth, we will be back very very soon!
