  • "Had a lovely stay here."

    Couldn't have picked a more perfect location near the beach for our grandchildren. The accommodation was lovely. Very well equipped and exactly what we wanted. We will definitely return. If I was to make a criticism it would be the lack of washing facilities having young children but on saying that you have to compromise on something. It wouldn't put me off coming back.

    Hi Anne, thank you for your feedback and glad you enjoyed your stay… we agree on the compromise of having a washing machine Regards Amanda and Ian Property Owner

    With both the beach, shops and eateries all within walking distance albeit uphill to some. We thoroughly enjoyed the week,despite some inclement weather. No complaints!

    Would be great if the bedside lamps could have brighter bulbs. Having said that, the accommodation was first class, we hope to return. The standard of fixtures and fittings were very high and we had everything we needed. Thank you very much.

  • "The apartment we stayed in was in a super location and was very nice and comfortable with everything there that you could possibly need."

    Our only minor issues were the wash basin and bathroom plugs wouldn’t stay down which presumably hadn’t been reported by the previous visitors. We have no doubt had these been mentioned by previous visitors this would have been rectified fairly quickly. The water was hot in morning but just warm in the evening despite being apparently on all the time. It was either a short walk down to the beach or up the hill to the shops so in a convenient location. Overall we enjoyed our stay in a nice new apartment.

    Hi Peter, thanks for your feedback and for pointing out the basin issues which we had repaired when you vacated the apartment on Saturday. So pleased you had a good holiday Regards Amanda and Ian Property Owner

  • "Lovely comfortable property."

    Indoor very clean. Outdoor area not very clean. Steps up to upper deck quite high with no handrail. For safety needs a handrail. My friend did fall of the side. Fortunately no major injuries. Scrapes and bruises. A great property but needs consideration of a handrail on outdoor steps.

    Hi Mags, thank you for your feedback, apologies that the outside wasn’t clean. Sorry to hear about your friend, we hope she is okay! We will address the handrail issue once we can get in to do our maintenance.

  • "Lovely apartment, modern and clean."

    Fantastic location for the beach down the road. The only downside is we found the en-suite shower a bit small, which meant we had to wait in turn for the shower in the bathroom. Also the under floor heating took a long time to heat up a room. We had a lovely relaxing time though and we love benllech.

    Hi Paula, thank you for the feedback, we agree the en suite is a tad cosy… so glad you enjoyed Benllech it’s a great place and enjoyed the apartment overall Regards Amanda and Ian Property Owner

    We were lucky to have the week the September heat wave arrived. Great location for beach or restaurants, Pebbles Bistro and the new Rasoi Indian plus The Boathouse in Red Wharf Bay worth a special mention, lovely meals. The short walk up to the nice local pub The Benllech is quite steep though. We managed ok in our mid 60s/early 70s though but worth bearing in mind if less mobile.

  • "Very much enjoyed our stay at Steps Away."

    Very comfortable and a good looking and well maintained property. Whilst the weather didn't allow too much sitting outside, to have that area was a great addition. The ensuite was maybe a little 'cosy' but then there was the bathroom so no problem really. We weren't really bothered by the inability to access Netflix as we don't have this at home but it looks like someone with a surname of 'Pickering' had entered their email address rather than yours so 'Steps away' or Steps away 2 doesn't work-just thought I'd point that out for future guests. Overall - excellent stay - thank you.

    Excellent facilities within the apartment, I think the owners had thought of everything, and all of very good quality. The level of cleanliness was superb, very reassuring with how things are at the moment. Luckily, the weather was on our side but if had it not been then it wouldn`t have been an hardship to have settled down in such surroundings with a good book. Communication from the owners was excellent without being obtrusive. Will definitely try to book again when we return to Anglesey.

    The owners have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. A real home from home. It is literally steps away from the beach and the shops with lovely walks from the doorstep. We stayed with our 5 year old who loved it too as he had his own bathroom and tv in his room! Would stay again but probably not at the prices being charged during school holidays unfortunately.

  • "Steps Away is perfectly located for both Benllech beach and accessing main routes to other parts of the island of Anglesey."

    The accommodation is 5 star and we had everything we needed for a perfect self-catered holiday. Due to Covid restrictions there were less dining out options so we really appreciated the outdoor terrace and communal barbecue area to make the most of the lovely weather. We were two couples and had travelled in separate vehicles so my only concern during peak holiday periods would be that there is only 1 allocated parking space for the apartment. However, we were able to leave our 2nd vehicle in one of the two visitors parking spaces. Would highly recommend this accommodation.
