• "Great location within walking distance to beach, coastal path and super restaurant nearby."

  Cottage spacious, spotless and well equipped. Enclosed large garden which was well kept and lots of seating. Nearby cafe closed for the winter and local pub reduced opening times so if you’re going out of season be prepared to travel. Would highly recommend.

• "When we arrived we could not access the key safe."

  Although we phoned the no. given and texted the no. we did not receive a response. A kind man in another property helped us out! However, we liked our stay so much we have rebooked for 2025!!

• "This was our third time and we loved the improvements to the kitchen and bathroom."

  6 adults sharing worked fine. The garden patio area was really good for sitting out and for the baby to crawl around. The high chair and cot worked perfectly. Church bay is such a wonderful spot. The only things that would have been improvements if I was being picky were slightly larger bath towels and a few more mugs as we ran out very quickly. Thanks for a lovely stay.

• "The bungalow was spacious and comfortable and we really appreciated the enclosed garden and loved that we were in walking distance from the beautiful beach."

  Being the summer holidays and fantastic weather, it was busy as expected, but this wasn't a problem.

• "Wow, what a lovely cottage and location."

  The cottage was absolutely delightful with everything we needed. There was lots of room and a new kitchen had obviously been installed, to a high standard, since some of the previous reviews had been written. We had a day of very strong winds and torrential rain so just had to stay in. It is well decorated and really pleasant to spend the day inside. The beds are really comfortable and both bathrooms excellent. It makes a change to really have gardens which are totally dog proof. The owners have gone a long way to ensure even the very small dog with us couldn’t escape! The location is superb with the beach literally minutes away, albeit a steep walk down, just take your time. The views from the top are incredible and there are lots of walks, including the coastal path covering the whole island, for the more mobile. The Wavecrest cafe certainly lives up to it’s reviews and is well worth visiting more than once! The rest of the island is easy to explore and the large supermarkets are only 20 mins drive away. Highly recommend, hope to return.

  It was well equipped, clean with very good heating and hot water.ĺ We had a wonderful sunny week staying at this property and I would highly recommend it. Thank you to the owners for their help.

• "This is a beautiful bungalow and personally the pictures dont do it justice."

  I think up to date photos are needed as the bungalow has been decorated with a new kitchen installed. It had everything you needed . Upon arrival a small carton of milk with teas, sugar coffee sachets, packets of biscuits and a bottle of white wine which i thought was a lovely touch . The garden area is lovely and secure for the dogs, we pulled up on the drive and let the dogs out after a long drive but as soon as you enter to the right it was abit like a swamp with the rain and all the bungalow except the kitchen is grey carpet so found it easier to use the back door and close the kitchen doors untill the dogs were clean and dry . I did see from the double ensuite out the window a caravan on the land behind with a security camera , i felt this was close to the property and was facing direct so i kept the blinds shut . Perfect location , the bay was stunning , lots of rock pools , the sun set was outstanding from the beach . Lovely coastal paths and cafe 2 mins walk away . The lobster pot was lovely. Highly recommended

• "The bungalow was well prepared for our arrival."

  All beds were made and towels were provided .We had asked for a high chair and travel cot. Both were available on arrival. The high chair was excellent, praised by the parents and the 10 month old user. The kitchen was very well equipped and all appliances worked well. Both bathrooms were of very good quality. Hot water was readily available. We felt that both bathrooms would have benefitted from extractor fans. The living room was spacious but we felt that the settees were rather uncomfortable. Overall an excellent location and well equipped bungalow.

• "Lovely location with the beach a short stroll away."

  The garden is enclosed with lovely solid wooden benches and chairs around a large table. Beautiful plants and trees with lots of wild birds visiting. We spent lots of time in the garden with our dogs as the weather was so beautiful. Bathrooms are both modern but just a shame the en suite wet room is accessed by quite a big step down from the main bedroom.

• "Location is perfect."

  Would love to visit in the summer when there are more facilities available. Couldn’t fault anything, although coat hangers in the wardrobe would have been helpful ! Lovely property and would have vacuumed through on leaving but no cleaner available. No complaints at all, loved the visit to church bay again after many years as did my companions.

• "This is a lovely bungalow in a beautiful setting so close to the beach at Church Bay."

  The facilities are excellent and the property is well appointed and spacious with 3 good sized bedrooms. The welcome bottle of wine was a nice touch. We had a problem with the CH boiler and it was fixed straight away. Great service. I would ask that the following comment is not included in the published feedback and is something for Tristan and Nia to consider. The ensuite bathroom off the main bedroom doesn't have any ventilation nor an opening window. Everywhere was dripping after taking a shower. I suggest that you install an extractor fan to remove the damp air.

• "The property is in a great position and the facilities are very good ."

  The property was very clean and tidy . Church Bay is a lovely sheltered beach and great for kids A large retail park is a short 15 minute drive away if you need supplies . It did advertise a washer/drier for the property but there was only a washer . Had an issue with the tv in accessing channels which the owner did attend but the problem persisted but it was not a big problem. My wife didn't bring a hair drier because usually properties of this standard usually have one unfortunately there was none .The little covered seating area at the top of the garden is lovely to sit in the evening but the bush in front of it needs trimming down as it obscures the sunlight. These are all minor things and did not spoil what was a lovely stay in a great property in a great location .Will definitely be coming back !

  Checked and fixed immediately. The bungalow had everything we needed to cater at home if we needed. Garden was great for the dog to run around safely and to sit and relax in. Location was brilliant, out of the way, close access to a beautiful beach and easy reach of Holyhead for large supermarket.

• "We were very grateful to be able to move to Bwythn Y Bae when the heating and hot water in our original holiday cottage stopped working."

  The property is clean, spacious and warm. It offers wonderful access to the beach and coast path. Phone reception is poor, but excellent WiFi helps to make up for this. There is only one bathroom, which needs updating, and no separate toilet. The kitchen is spacious, and has all the usual white-goods, but is poorly equipped for aspiring cooks. We know the owners have plans to improve the cottage, and we’re sure it’ll be a great stay.

• "The cottage was just what we wanted."

  A good size for 6 adults. Clean and well looked after. The secured garden was great for our dogs. Not luxury but very much a home from home. Smart TV was great on those wet days when we couldn't go out. We liked it so much we have booked for next year.

• "Had a lovely comfortable break with my family."

  Look forward to booking again in the near future. The weather was a little unkind (wind, rain everyday) but that didn’t stop us walking down the road to Church Bay. Great beach to relax on or just walk the dog. Ideal place to stay and visit the wonderful seaside towns around Anglesey. Don’t forget to book the Lobster Pot just down the lane from your holiday home.

• "This was our second stay at church bay in a beautiful property in beautiful surroundings."

  Whilst we did not meet the hosts, we would like to thank them for such a beautiful holiday home. We visited all our favourite locations again whilst there and the weather was amazing. The only disappointment was not being able to eat at the lobster pot, because they are fully booked until the October, which would have been nice as we were on our honeymoon. We left the property as we found when we arrived clean and tidy and we shall be back.

• "The standard of cleanliness, particularly in the bathroom, was not up to great."

  There was black mould on some of the grout which can easily be scrubbed off - I managed to scratch some of with my nail very easily. The inside of the bath was clean but the corners where the bath meets the wall and the top edge of the bath panel were thick with dust. The bath mat had some black mould on it. The overflow in the sink is black. The water pressure is poor. The toilet is difficult to flush and the extractor fan in the bathroom does not work. The oven thermometer regulator does not work efficiently if at all. We see this has been previously reported in June but still not repaired in time for our stay in August. We were 6 adults and we do not feel the house really suits 6 adults. May be 4 adults and 2 children maximum. We knew only 1 toilet was offered when we booked and that it was in the only bathroom however, we really do believe there is scope to provide at least an additional toilet if not an en suite. The kitchen has enough crockery and cutlery for one meal serving so you have to wash up or use the dishwasher after every meal. Minimal cooking utensils and knives are provided. It really could be made so much more welcoming and better supplied. When we arrived a lady was leaving through the front door and darted around the back instead of explaining why she was there. We followed to see who she was but she had gone into the field behind the house. She had left the back gate open and there was a coat and food in a bag hanging off it. There was gentleman operating out of the back of the garage (attached to the property) I asked him who the items belonged to as I needed to close the gate to stop our dogs escaping and I received a very gruff response telling me not to throw it on the floor which I had no intention of doing. The house is directly opposite a camp site across the lane, although it was generally quiet. Behind the house is some kind of industrial lorry/storage area. Some of the garden has been fenced off to provide static caravan accommodation which is either booked independently or can be booked by whoever is in the house. Garden furniture was a bench in a garden hut and pub garden table/bench. Nowhere near sufficient for 6 people no matter what age. No garden brolly provided that we could find. Overall, this house is in a good location for beach access however, we felt overpriced, basic, not clean enough and very understocked in the kitchen.

  Thank you for your feedback. This is our first season with this accommodation and we value your feedback so that we can improve our guests' stay. We take on board your comments regarding the bathroom and as stated in our welcome pack, we intend to refurbish at the end of the season. Since your stay, I have added further crockery and utensils to the kitchen and have arranged for the oven to be fixed again. Additional garden furniture has eventually arrived, which had been ordered for some time, but unfortunately due to a problem with the supplier and delivery, had not arrived in time for your stay. As a pet friendly property, we asked politely that you respected the garden and cleared after your dogs by making use of the poo bags supplied. It was most disappointing and disrespectful that you failed to do so. Despite the aforementioned issues we hope that your stay at Church Bay was enjoyable, a particularly sought after location in Anglesey. Perhaps it would have been more constructive to have raised any issues during your stay and thus allowed us to rectify and resolve where possible. Property Owner

  The oven's thermostat had failed so there was no way of setting an oven temperature. kitchen scales would have been nice as we did a lot of cooking.
