  It can be difficult to find a property for a UK holiday.

  Typically there will be always something wrong with it. Ty Gwennol is as close to perfection as you could possibly get Run by Martin and Elaine, they had it super clean when we arrived. They were both delightful and attentive to our needs without being overwhelming or in your face. The 3 bedrooms are all comfy and loverly. Reasonably dark at night for those people that struggle to sleep with light. Each room also had a touch that doubled as a night light which was a loverly touch if you needed it. The beds were super clean and comfy. Plenty of storage with hangers provided. The kitchen is very well stocked. So if your bringing lots of food like we did you won't feel underequipped. Great size table. Decent sized fridge/ freezer. There was also a fantastically little coffee maker provided. Living room was so cosy and very comfy. Great tv with a good variety of channels. Including Netflix, amazon, Disney etc. Plenty of atmospheric lights in the living room. A loverly Woodburner. We ran out of all the stuff and martin refilled it when we asked with no issues. Easy access to the hot tub which is placed very well for stargazing. Well maintained and cleaned throughout stay. Although we never saw them clean it as they did it while we were out on adventures. It's a loverly peice of land with a dog safe rear garden. Martin and Elaine do have dogs which were loverly to cudle but did not like my dog. So when out the front best keep pets on the lead. The location is loverly. Your on a loverly peice of land tucked away. There are some beautiful horses. If you like to run we ran along the land and along the roads. Just go left out the property or it all hill hahah. It's a heavenly and peaceful place. You are only 20 mins from Hollyhead and Trearddur Bay which have almost the shops you could need. Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, B&M etc. There are some amazing costal walks you can take. Anglesey is beautiful. I used the Altrails app to find the. However, Martin and Elaine know the area well and directed us to several walks but also beaches that were essentially ours as no one seemed to know about them. In terms of walks I recommend the trearddur circuit north west coastline of Trearddur Bay. It's starts a a beautiful beach cove and then go's along the cost. Only short (90 mins) but you can make it a lot longer. There were some loverly little suprise touches in the cottage throughout but I won't spoil them. It's rare for a place to be so perfect but it is. If you decide to stay here. The season won't matter. You will be at peace.

  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.

  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.

  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

  This is our 4th annual visit, the peace and quiet and surroundings keep us coming back.

  The living room is feeling worn down and although its a dog friendly accommodation the rug is marked and dirty, Bedding is always immaculate but somethings have let it down this year, there were curtains hanging off and unable to close properly and a broken blind in the downstairs toilet, things are feeling old and worn. The kitchen we have always struggled as to cook for 5 of us is a task with the slow oven. When we arrived I did a walk around of the garden just to make sure it was safe for my toddler to let loose and I had to pick up 6 dog messes that I presume had been left by previous holiday makers. Now I know that lies with tenants but it was really disheartening starting my holiday cleaning up after them. Gate is difficult to open and close and the latch is so stiff and one of my dogs escaped underneath due to a hole in the netting. I just feel it needs some TLC and updates.
