"Harbour Lights is a lovely little cottage that is presented to a high standard."
The beds are probably the best we've ever stayed in, some morning it's was a tough decision whether to get up. It was great to have a sea view to sit and look at to with a coffee or dinner of an evening, looking out to Holyhead and watching each ferry come and go. Outside the decking is large and spacious and thata before even entering the lawn which again is large...CAUTION: there are some dips and holes in the lawn that you should be careful of. Whilst for us it created some rumbling amusement it may not for someone else. The only downside for us was outside lighting. Coming in of an evening it was pitch black in the driveway. The solar lights did not work. At the rear the flame style solar lanterns were a nice touch but produced no light. There are so solar lights but they were dependent on nice weather to 'charge them'. The guest book did mention about previous fixed lighting that the owners had an issue with because of the Irish sea. My opinion would be to try again! All in all a great stay regardless of the weather and a lovely little cottage.

"A lovely little gem of a cottage with great views over Holyhead harbour."
The owners have thought of everything! Even the rabbits and wildlife in the garden were lovely to sit and watch with a fully enclosed garden ideal for our dog.
-
"Harbour lights is a beautiful property perched perfectly to enjoy the views of the harbour across the water."
The garden is completely enclosed and very safe for children and pets. Wildlife is in abundance Rabbits Pheasants and birds. The property is very clean and the kitchen well equipped.(sharp knives) The internet is 100mbs I strongly recommend packing up your smallest smart TV The TV provided is basic and only has live TV Good water pressure in the shower. The weather was also fantastic on our 2 week stay We are booked up to return next year Thankyou Chris and Michelle this place is a gem

"Fantastic holiday cottage, great location in Church Bay and excellent sea views."
Well appointed cottage with everything you need, beds are a bit small/snug but otherwise very comfortable. Excellent lawned garden and deck to enjoy the sea views and sunshine. Our kids loved playing in the garden as did our dog, especially seeing the rabbits! Rest garden is enclosed and safe. Short walk to Church Bay beach and the fab Wavecrest cafe for amazing scones and The Lobster Pot for excellent sea food - both dog friendly. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

"The travel instructions need updating, the farm yard is now holiday cottages, the Black Bull is closed the other pub has disappeared and the little shop a mile away has limited stock."
But we had a great time and would love to go back
-
"Great location for exploring Anglesey."
Cottage was very clean and comfortable, had everything we needed. Decking looking out to see would be great when the weather was good.
-
"Beautiful home spotlessly clean Has everything you need to make it a comfortable stay, a very generous welcome basket also on arrival The views from the decking are stunning over looking the Harbour, the area is very quiet and peaceful only the sound of the birds to hear Beach a 5 min walk with breath taking views."

"Harbour Lights is every bit as lovely as it looks."
Wonderful views, spotlessly clean, comfortable beds, great wood burner, and a lovely little gift basket on arrival that was very much appreciated. Would return without hesitation and highly recommend this lovely cottage.

"Harbour Lights has everything you could want for a great holiday."
It’s a lovely well appointed bungalow, looking out over the sea to Holyhead ,you have the sun most of the day on the wide and spacious veranda. Church Bay Beach is a short walk and there are pubs and restaurants just a short drive away. We’ve stayed at Harbour Lights twice and are returning later this year, it’s just perfect!.

"Wonderful place for a week away."
We had a fantastic time staying at Harbour lights,it had everything you need and more ror a great relaxing holiday.The cottage was very clean warm and cosy,very comfortable beds and a really well equipped kitchen, beautiful very well secured garden which was loved by our border collie Jess,the wonderful log burner was an brilliant addition to the cottage which can heat and keep the whole place lovely and warm with minimal fuel,we had a great time walking to the beach and the local pub,all the local people are very friendly and welcoming, this is also a great base to discover many great and interesting places Anglesey has to offer,or you can chill out on the decking out side taking in the wonderful views and watch the ferry boats go in and out of Holyhead harbour,we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend Harbour lights,we are now planning to come back next year.

"Excellent quiet peaceful location ideal for accessing the nearby coastal path and beaches."
The property is very comfortable with one of the best log burners ever heating the whole property in a heartbeat! The views over to Hollyhead and the incoming ferries ⛴ are stunning as are the “Harbour Lights “ in the evening!
-
"Everything as described, wonderful location, amazing views, will be re booking 2023."
-
"Gorgeous cottage and setting."
Nice and private with walks close by. The cottage was well equipped and clean. The guidelines were clear and useful with satnav postcodes to beaches and places recommended by the owners. Anglesey itself is Wales in miniature. This little island has it all. Gorgeous beaches,forests and country parks. I love that everyone speaks Welsh and wants to protect the language. Well worth a visit
-
"A fabulous stay at Harbour Lights, very comfortable and clean."
Garden excellent for both us and our Scottish Terrier, very secure, views stunning. We had an incident on our second day but Chris responded immediately and all was well. Would highly recommend.
-
"A beautiful cozy place with an amazing view."
Perfect to relax but also a perfect base to explore.
-
"Highly recommend this place."
10 minutes to a great beach. Every thing you could need at this accommodation. Wife didn't like the wild flower and butterfly garden bang in the middle of the garden but the rest of the garden was brilliant.
-
"The cottage was spotless, the kitchen well equipped and there was even chocolate in the fridge for us."
The bed we used was very comfortable. The garden was fully enclosed and safe for our dog, with plenty of comfortable seating and shade for us. The wild rabbits kept the dog entertained! Cable Bay and Church Bay are close by as is the coastal path.
-
"A lovely property with everything you need for a self-catering holiday."
The views across the large garden are fantastic. The area beautiful with lots of places to discover. The Wavecrest cafe, just round the corner, served fantastic food. if you need to do a big shop there is a range of major shops about 20 minute drive away at Holyhead. Had a smashing week. Very dog friendly too.
-
"Fantastic property great location and garden for dog Views fantastic nice and quiet Stay again"
-
"The cottage was comfortable a real home from home the information file was very informative and it was nice that a picture of the owner was included."
I would happily come back
-
"We had a lovely holiday in a very comfy and pleasant cottage and will definitely return."
We loved the outdoor space. The only tiny thing- a first aid box would be good. I fell over and cut myself and it was a long way to a chemist for plasters. But I will definitely recommend this lovely cottage.
-
"Fabulous little cottage in the perfect setting for cliff top walks, beaches and watching the ferries coming in and out of Holyhead Port."
I would definitely recommend it for rest and relaxation. On our list to revisit .

We had a lovely holiday at harbor lights so fresh and clean and smelt great the views beautiful and a nice gesture with the welcome pack the beach at church bay was great and just a nice walk to it without it being too far although it was very windy most days the sun came out for us
-
"We had a really nice week in this beautiful and well equipped chalet style cottage."
It was very clean and tidy yet cosy and very comfortable. Everything we needed was on hand and available to us. We especially liked the large enclosed rear garden which was private and not overlooked. It's ideal for lively young dogs like our Elsie The Sprocker. The views over the garden to the nearby sea are unbeatable and off road parking on a quiet road a real bonus. The owners are both very friendly and approachable and are only a phone call away. We are seasoned cottages and really rate this accommodation in beautiful Anglesey. We hope to return soon.

"Harbour Lights was just perfect."
From the moment we arrived it was warm and welcoming. We appreciated the Easter eggs, Bara Brith, Welsh Cakes, hot chocolate and tea and thank you to the owners for their generosity. The interior of the property was clean and decorated beautifully with the beds being warm and comfortable. The south facing decking at the back along with the large, spacious garden provided the perfect area to enjoy the sun, play games and relax with family whilst admiring the picturesque scenery. It was also ideal for Millie dog who thoroughly enjoyed being in the garden at almost all times of the day. The views were simply stunning with the beaches only a short walk away. We particular enjoyed evenings with the cosy log burner lit and watching the twinkling lights of Holyhead, as well as the arriving and departing ships. Communication with the owner was excellent and we will definitely be returning. Thank You- The Greaves and Tate family

"We booked Harbour Lights for the Christmas week for my me, my wife and our 2 dogs, Glenys & Harri."
Communications from the owner Chris were excellent prior to our arrival and whilst there, Chris was more than happy to help with anything we asked. On our arrival the cottage was lovely and warm, with a Christmas tree and some decorations up... there was also a few wrapped presents left under the tree for us, which both us and the dogs appreciated - a very nice touch. The local pub 'Church Bay Inn' was little bit odd (in our opinion) so we ended up going to the Gwesty Holland Hotel in Llanfachraeth, which was very welcoming. We had booked into the local restaurant 'The Lobster Pot' for our Anniversary on the 29th, but it was cancelled by them as they were short staffed due to covid... So booked in at the Oyster Catcher in Rhosneigr, which I can highly recommend. We had a great time and would definetly go back to this cosy, very clean cottage again.
-
"Another lovely stay at Harbour Lights."
The property very clean and comfortable and nice welcome pack . The views from the decking are fabulous Very peaceful and close walks to two beaches and the coastal path Could spend hours watching the birds rabbits and pheasants in the garden. and ships sailing from Holyhead We did have a problem during our stay but this was sorted very quickly by the owner making sure it did not effect our stay. Already booked again for next year
-
"We had a fantastic stay at harbour lights."
The cottage was beautiful and very homely. The view of holyhead was beautiful
-
"A nice cottage with a good size garden (which our dog Lewis enjoyed), in easy walk to the beach and the local inn which offered good beers and service."
-
"A lovely cottage, so well equipped, all the little details thought about and great welcome."
Fantastic location for walks to the beaches. Enclosed, spacious garden fantastic for the dog. Owner very attentive and sorted a problem with the back door immediately. Wonderful area with great coastal activities (loved Coasteering with Anglesey Adventutes)and great pubs, including the Black Lion, White Eagle at Roscolyn and pop up cafe at the Lakeside.
-
"A bit disappointed that there was no hot tub as advertised but we understand if it was due to the COVID situation"
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you were disappointed that there was no hot tub at the property. Unfortunately, we were made aware the hot tub had been removed in the previous month but due to an administrative error, this was not updated for the time of your booking. All mentions of the hot tub have since been removed from the description. Property Owner

"Absolutely fantastic place, great views and the cottage is well stocked with everything you need."
The only thing we could think of to improve would have been a sun shade or umbrella on the decking, as we were lucky enough to have scorching weather.
-
"Lovely comfortable home with great decking the length of the cottage where we spent a lot of time enjoying the view and having barbecues."
Cottage is in a beautiful area where you can go on gorgeous walks right from the cottage to the coastal paths and lovely bays as well as Church Bay. So peaceful and relaxing.
-
"As soon as you walked through the door at Harbour lights you knew it was going to be amazing, we were met by a lovely clean home which smelt fresh and ready to receive us."
The view as you stepped into the living space went straight beyond the garden across the sea to Holyhead, and beyond, we spent most of our holiday ,when at the cottage ,sitting on the decking looking out. Harbour lights is well portioned two good doubles and a nice single, a large seating area with wood burner and a very well equipped kitchen, lots of pans, even a cheese grater. Location is great for those into walking, the coastal path is just a field away as are two lovely beaches, and I have to mention the cream tea from the Wavecrest cafe which is a 5 minute walk away. We had amazing weather so we used the bbq and spent a lot of time in the garden, our dog was in heaven and we didn’t have to worry about her as the garden was secure. Would stay again in a heart beat, am already looking for the next opportunity.
-
"The cottage was so peaceful, sitting on the decking looking at the views with the sun of the day/evening was very enjoyable."
The place was spotless and everything was well maintained. We really enjoyed the place and so did our dog, she loved chilling on the decking, keeping an eye on everything and having a really big enclosed garden to wander. Would definitely return and recommend, thanks Chris and Michelle
-
"This is a lovely cottage in an excellent location."
Sitting on the terrace in the sunshine admiring the sea view was very relaxing. The cottage is well catered with pretty much everything you need provided. A problem with the electrics on arrival was dealt with very quickly after we contacted the owner. If I was to provide suggestions for improvement (to make it even better) we found the beds a bit short, and the wet room would benefit from something to stand on after having a shower, to get away from the wet floor! But these were minor niggles and we would definitely recommend a stay in this cottage.

Failed to live up to facilities in description No working hot tub, water leak under sink, password to Wi-fi not clear and no instruction re tv accessed via amazon fire stick Needs a makeover Views fantastic and garden great

"The location is excellent - and the cottage is really lovely."
there were a few issues with the level of cleanliness, light bulbs that needed replacing, the electric tripping a couple of times, some areas could do with some maintenance work, (outdoor bolts on gates etc) It was great to be able to use the hot tub every day and the sauna was a real bonus - overall well worth the money!
-
"This was my second time at harbour lights, even the severe gales did not impact."
The views are fantastic and the costal path close (when not too windy). The hot tub and sauna means you can have relaxing times without leaving the cottage. The Lobster pot is great and within walking distance and the Sea Shanty at Trearddur Bay is a short drive, it is dog friendly until 17:00 and the food is fabulous.
-
"Cosy little cottage in a quiet, scenic location."
Many thanks to the owner who made it a warm and welcome experience.
-
"A good place to relax,sit back and take in the views,had a few issues with hot tub jets being perished and falling apart,inner section of oven door insecure,patio door handle insecure and never managed to get sauna to work,don't know if we were doing something wrong."
It would be nice to have a small welcome pack and to let future guests know there is no Hair dryer supplied,had to go out and buy one for the wife ! But don't let these few faults stop you booking this little Gem,would advise taking Binoculars or Telescope as there are lovely views from the garden and lots of bird life,great walks on the coastal path and lovely beaches close by.Would recommend and definitely book again but would be very disappointed if the issues i have mentioned had not been sorted.
-
"It’s a very quiet area and great for walkers, a relaxing soak in the hot tub after."
Claire was very helpful when couldn’t get the oven working would highly recommended, this cottage thank you.
-
"Beautiful cottage with stunning views across the sea."
So peaceful and relaxing. Will definitely return. Excellent for dogs too. Hot tub and sauna an added bonus
-
"Lovely cottage Kitchen could do with refurbishment and TV needs sorting as is done by amazon stick but wifi not really good enough for it, it freezes every few minutes."
Overall would go back as in lovely peaceful area and close to beach, Wavecrest Cafe an absolute must to try.
-
"Had a lovely stay in this quiet cosy cottage."
Sea views, hot tub and sauna are great. Hope to come back again. Really easy to get to Snowdonia or enjoy the peace of Anglesey's beautiful beaches.

The views of the coast are brilliant from the cottage, would recommend Harbour Lights and will stay again.

Beautiful little property with everything we needed just a bit far from everything for us and oven was dirty but otherwise nice
-
"Had an excellent stay hot tub could do with a wind breaker around it."
-
"Quite a secluded area, no house sign to identify the house so it was difficult to find."
A washing machine would be good.

Good base to explore Anglesey then to return to the hot tub was bliss. The owner was very friendly and approachable. Would definitely book again.
-
"The owner went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed and were comfortable."
Anglesey was a stunningly beautiful part of our country and it was a delight to explore.
-
"Overall the holiday was very good, even though the weather was not good to us seeing as we had hurricane Barbara & Connor which stopped us using the Hot Tub but not the Sauna, so overall a very enjoyable time was had by all."
-
"Lovely views, fantastic hot tub, beautiful area generally & walking distance to one of the best restaurants in Anglesey, The Lobster Pot."
-
"Lovely peaceful retreat exactly what I needed."
-
"Had everything we could possibly need in the cottage to enable us to have a great holiday."
The dish washer is a big help as who wants to be stood at the washing up bowl on holiday.
