  This is a lovely apartment that is well-situated with great views over the Menai Straits, across to Bangor and to the peaks beyond.

  Spectacular in any weather. The apartment was very clean and tidy upon arrival but also inviting. I don't think we lacked for anything. The welcome pack of local produce was a nice touch and appreciated. The lift links all floors and there are ramps for wheelchairs at the main entrance. Both bathrooms have modern walk-in showers and are effectively wet rooms. A word of warning - the apartment is built into the roof space and not ideal for tall people as there are beams and angled ceilings wherever you go. These are marked and even bear luminescent strips. However, taller visitors should be careful. We experienced weather that included high winds and lashing rain. During this we felt comfortable and snug, appreciating the atmosphere as the wind howled and rain hammered on the windows. The bad weather barely impacted upon us whilst within the accommodation. We visited in late October, which is hardly the best time to enjoy the gardens (both general and private) but can easily recommend these amenities - when the weather cleared the views from the property are well worth descending from the apartment. The directions to the apartment were helpful and accurate. The location is very convenient for reaching both Menai Bridge and Beaumaris locally, but also for visiting Anglesey and the mainland. As recommended, we tried the Gazelle Inn/Hotel nearby: well worth the visit (well, two actually): great location, great food and ambience, and lovely staff. Not cheap, but we thought it good value. However, one word of warning: the new flight of wooden steps to and from the residence are both steep and can be very slippery in wet conditions.

  This is our second stay at The Nook the only property we have stayed in that we have ever returned to.

  The property is spacious and airy with beautiful views. It is ideally situated for everything you need gorgeous beach, several places to eat, friendly pub and supermarket all within very easy reach. I have to say the bed is probably the comfiest bed I have ever slept in - personal taste I know but worth mentioning. During our stay the weather was not too kind to us and we had a couple of wet days which cannot be helped but we had another lovely stay and have already discussed returning! I would say that the property would greatly benefit from a smart tv in the lounge. I know a lot of people don’t watch tv on holiday but we have an older dog who just wanted to sleep after a day out so we did not venture out too much in the evenings. I ended up watching tv on my iPad. We had some very heavy rain and wind during our stay and noticed some damp walls on the kitchen and by the bay window in the lounge. This did not affect our stay just an observation as we saw some work had been done to sort out the flaky paint in both the kitchen and utility room. Overall I would highly recommend The Nook in a heartbeat to anyone considering a stay in Anglesey. The addition of the decking is great and just adds to the amazing views - just a shame the weather did not give us the opportunity to take full advantage of using it!

  Only real problem was the washing machine wasn't working.

  One of my dogs had vomited on a throw on the way there and I really needed to wash it.Because the washing machine was not working it ultimately meant we had to take it home a week later to clean it, by which time it was growing its own life form. We bought fuses and changed the one in the plug but there was no 'thank you for trying' from the owners. I was disappointed with this, it tainted my whole view of the property and the attitude of the owners. Other than this, everything was good. The garden is very very well enclosed with high fences all around. I always worry one of my dogs will get out (she's a ninja) but it is very secure. I'd have liked it if I could have closed the internal doors properly, to stop dogs going in to rooms we weren't using, but most of them would only push to and there was no catch to close them. I didn't want my dogs to go in and lie on the beds, purely because i didn't want to create more work/laundry for the owners. How fabulous to have a Nespresso machine! In fact the amount of cooking gadgets provided was wonderful.I Overall we really enjoyed our stay we would return, and would recommend to others.

  Nyth Y Fran was a beautiful, well appointed, high end apartment.

  The finish to all the fixtures and fittings was clearly top class and it was spotlessly clean. The welcome gifts we received were not only thoughtful but delicious as well. The only thing I would ask for differently would be a bath sheet rather than a bath towel but that is really being micro picky. The views from the apartment are lovely (even though we had shocking weather). I would say that as long as the lift is working it would suit anyone of any age and mobility but if it ever broke down I think the stairs could be an issue for some older guests. The steps down to the main road and the Gazelle pub were closed off for safety reasons( understandable) so it would have been a longer walk to the pub, which going down would have been fine but coming up a different matter. If you want easy, short walking distance to pubs and shops this may not be the place for you. Menai Bridge is just 5 mins or so away in the car but a good 40 mins walk I’d guess. Beaumaris is a drive not a walk away. Loved the place and we will be returning. Thank you Kerry and Steve.

  We have stayed in many, many holiday properties over the years and we can honestly say Nyth Y Fran is the best.

  We have never stayed in an apartment before and were unsure what to expect. When we arrived we were presented with a stunning, yet beautifully quirky apartment and amazing views. The crows nest turret 'snug' is full of guide books and helpful information, the kitchen area very well equipped with one of the best washing up views ever and the other rooms are tastefully appointed and comfortable for a holiday at any time of the year. The addition of the private garden area is perfect and also provides more wonderful views across to Bangor, the sea and the iconic bridge across the Menai Straits. A small point - not really enough towels provided. A single hand towel and a medium size one each is not enough for a week's holiday and we would have expected at least one bath sheet. This apartment is a great base for days out and or to simply sit and admire the view - or both! We have used your company before and were glad to see that booking is still easy, communications excellent and pictures and descriptions accurate - many thanks.
