• "We really loved the cottage and it's location and plan to return when the pub in the village is open."

  All the people we met in the village were friendly. Our only gripe is with the search criteria on Sykes website. We stated we wanted "a pub within one mile" sadly we were not told that the pub was closed for refurbishment and had been for some time!!!

• "Lovely cottage, clean and comfortable."

  No problems at all. Perfect for two people. Loved the island in the kitchen, it was much bigger than we expected. Only things we could comment on was the freezer compartment needs defrosting (looks like it had been left open and it’s iced up) and the knives need a sharpen. Otherwise we loved it and will book again.

• "Lovely place to stay, we had a great time here."

  Settees and bed were really comfortable, and new bathroom and kitchen. The garden was a great size and enclosed so we could let our dog out without having to worry she would get out. We would definitely stay here again

  Dear guests We were delighted to hear that you had enjoyed your stay at The Crescent. The property was completely refurbished last autumn. We have a dog ourselces so we know how important it is that they cannot escape! We hope you had a safe journey back home and we look forward to seeing you again soon Best wishes Helen Property Owner

• "A lovely chocolate box cottage in a small village close to a local beach, with a dog friendly area."

  Had no hot water first night but reported problem and quickly fixed by the owner. The local pub was closed as currently being refurbished but plenty of eateries in nearby Caernarfon. We all enjoyed our stay.

  Dear Guests We were glad that you enjoyed your time at 5 the Crescent and that you found the cottage so fresh. It was lovely to meet and your family when we popped over to replace the Google Nest and glad that the new one gave you no further problems . We hope to see you back again soon Best wishes Helen Property Owner

• "A new kitchen and bathroom, nicely decorated and exceptionally clean."

  As mentioned in feedback in April 24, there is insufficient cutlery, tools, plates etc. A coffee filter jug would be useful. The thermostat for the heating did not work and even though there was hot water, the radiators could not be turned on in the chilly evenings. There was no where to hang your coats. A few dishwater tablets for when you first arrive would have been good. There were no instructions for the property ie for the bin day and how to use the equipment. The glass tiles in the bathroom give natural light from the window in the bedroom. These glass tiles do require a curtain on the bedroom side, as during the night, when the bathroom light is turned on it lights up the whole bedroom. One of the main attraction of this property was the close proximity of the village pub as advertised in the property description. The pub was unfortunately closed in June 24 for refurbishment and may not open until November 24. Perhaps a note should be added to the property details to inform people of the closure. However we did find the community shop in the pub garden very handy.

  Dear Guests We are delighted that you found 5 The Crescent clean and comfortable. We had already at the suggestion of a guest added some extra bits and pieces in the kitchen. Off the back of your recommendation we have addes more cultlery and plates and a coffee jug - it is a fine balance in holiday cottages between having sufficient and the cupboards becoming cluttered. I am sorry that you had problems with the central heating. I checked it and could find no issue - it is always a good idea to ring either the cottage owners or Menai if you incounter a problem during your stay in order that we can help to resolve the problem. The details on how to "use" the cottage - bin days etc are all electronic and the log in details should have been supplied to you by Menai. We have preferred this since Covid. I am glad that you found the community shop helpful. It is a shame that the pub is currently closed for renovation and I hope that this did not spoil your holiday. Best wishes Helen Property Owner

• "The house was very clean and comfortable."

  Everything is very new so which is great. Quiet village. Two main issues - the lack of cutlery and dishes in the kitchen (only 4 knives etc when there could be 4 people staying). More chopping boards/small dishes/glasses and trivets or cork mats to put hot dishes on. It would be useful to leave some tablets for the dishwasher (but this only makes sense if more cutlery etc available as it is not the dish washer would be quite empty.) Some hooks on the back of the bathroom/bedroom doors would be useful as well as a set of hooks for coats in the kitchen. Generally very little storage upstairs - a chest of drawers would be good. Note that the bath is a half bath which does not lead to a relaxing soak as stated in the property description. It is fine if you are child under 10! Garden is quite well enclosed unless your dog is a real escape artist (the wall at the back is jumpable with a big drop on the other side). The village has very little grass areas for a dog walk - it is mainly road walking on narrowish roads from the house. Good beach nearby (a 5 min drive really) at lower tides otherwise very stoney. Local pub does not do food but good garden area for a drink.

  Dear Guests We were so pleased to hear that you found 5 Crescent clean and comfortable. This is out first season with the cottage so your feedback on the number of place settings is really helpful and we will ensure that we add som extra cutlery and plates etc. We are sorry to hear that you found the bath small. It is a small bath not a full sized one and was included in addition to the shower as we felt it would be helpful for guests with small children. Regretably a full sized bath felt too big so it was removed in favour of giving more overall spave in the bathroom. We were sorry that when you visited the Harp Community Pub was not serving food - it usually does. As you correctly say, it does have a lovely beer garden! We hope to see you again soon Best wishes Helen Property Owner

• "The property was so clean and well presented, the bed was the comfiest we’ve ever slept in, with nice linen."

  We did have a problem with hot water in the shower; it was only Luke warm for about 2 minutes then ran cold but on the last 2 days it suddenly worked and became nice and hot. We cooked each night with no difficulty, the only suggestions we could make would be for there to be a caffetier for some lovely fresh coffee, a clock somewhere ( although a holiday is a time when time should be forgotten). One last thing was that the link to get the details about the house were the wrong ones (seaview cottage Menai ) but we managed. We would definitely recommend and stay again. Thankyou

  Dear Guests Thank you for your lovely review. I was really upset when you called me to say that you were having problems with the hot water but delighted that we got it sorted out for you. Thank you for pointing out that you were supplied with the wrong link to the property guide - we will contact Menai Holidays to make sure that this does not happen again. We look forward to seeing you again soon Best wishes Helen Property Owner

• "Fantastic cottage, one problem, no blinds or curtain on kitchen windows."

  Walk way past kitchen , any one can see straight in, especially in the evening, outside doors are drafty. Other than that fantastic. B. Howard.

  Dear guests. Thank you for your lovely review! Thank you for your feedback. We have never found a need for a kitchen blind as the cottage is so private. The cottage is Grade 2 listed so uPVC doors are not an option. We will certainly look to see if there are any draft proofing measures we can take. Property Owner

• "Very comfortable cottage."

  The owners allowed us to stay at very short notice as our original booking was not available due to a boiler problem. The cottage is in a beautiful village with a fantastic community run pub . The cottage was emaculate inside , the bed was extremely comfortable. We did have a few issues with the TV and WiFi but this was sorted out quickly by the owners and Menai . The surrounding countryside and beaches were amazing .

  Dear Guests We were so glad you enjoyed your stay! Llandwrog is a lovely village and I am glad you liked it as much as we do. We were glad to be able to step in and help when your original cottage experienced a problem. Best wishes Helen Property Owner
