  Lovely 3 bed, 2 bath cottage right in the middle of a farmyard.

  Small, walled garden was ideal for letting our dogs out before bedtime, although a more agile dog would easily jump the wall. This is a working farm and the cattle sheds are right next to the house so if you don't like the smell or the sound of cattle, it's not for you. Also, there are tractors in and out and the cattle are driven right past the cottage, so mind your children. The proprieter, Gwyneth, is very warm and welcoming. She happily showed us around the farm and enthusiastically explained anything we were interested in. For the birdwatchers, there are Swallows nesting and many other birds around, including Buzzards and Kestrels. The Wales coast path is less than 1km away (almost at the end of the drive) and there are great views of the sea and Holyhead Mountain from the farm. The cottage was generally clean but the floor, although it has been bkeached just before we arrived, needed cleaning again and the plastic sofas (standard in dog friendly cottages) had to be thoroughly disinfected and wiped over by ourselves before we could sit on it. Everything else was clean enough. The bathrooms were well equipped and modern but the water supply was inadequate, so if someone was using the downstairs shower or the hose outside, you'd get no water upstairs. I believe this is being addressed soon with a new mains water service from the road. Hot water was very hot. Beds were comfy and clean. Lounge windows were too dirty to see out of. This is because it rained and then the tractors kicked up a lot of dust which then stuck to the wet glass. There is a hot tub in the garden which is cleaned and refilled each week and was very pleasant. Overall - a really nice holiday cottage, run by a lovely, genuine lady. For us, it was ideal. We would definitely stay there again.

  We had a lovely stay at this house .

  The house is on a new development which is not yet finished and on week days works starts at 8 . We were not disrupted particularly, but it must be noted that the development isnt yet finished and further houses are to be built . It’s definitely something to be aware of as the only access is past the front of the house . The house is also more than a 10 minute walk into the centre . Again not a problem , but it should be noted . It’s realistically a 15-20 walk . The area is beautiful, the beaches are beautiful. The village has limited restaurants. Only one really , the Sea Shanty , which is lovely. Another is opening in September. There is a Chinese takeaway as well , and 2 small village shops . The house was very comfortable. The beds were comfortable, and the bedrooms were quite large . Whilst there are beds for 8 people the lounge absolutely could not take 8 , if you were at capacity, 4 comfortably and 6 at a squeeze . There is room in the kitchen downstairs for 8 around the table which is great . The kitchen space area is great , with big patio doors onto a small garden . We had a dog with us so this is great for a dog . The kitchen itself was fairly well equipped , but some of the equipment was very cheap quality , such as the knives and forks and the other utensils, and I felt this let it down . Some basic items not available such a a pizza cutter . There are very basic condiments left such as salt and pepper and oil , but nothing else . I would definitely stay here again , but check on the building works first . It’s been done by a small firm of builders , so the new houses will not be finished anytime soon ,

  This lovely two storey cottage, is situated right in the centre of a working farm.

  The owners are right on hand to help with any questions or problems that might arise. The farm is right off the beaten track near to the south stacks area of the Holy Island. The directions given are okay except for the 0.7 miles from turning right at the end of Porth Darfach road. Its around 1 1/2 miles before you see the farm sign on the peak of one of the sharp left hand bends. The views can only be described as breath taking - more so if the wind is blowing! It is wise to note that the cottage is 'upside down' that is to say the day to day living and the master bedroom and one bathroom are at the top and two bedrooms and a second bathroom are on the ground floor. The hot tub is lovely to relax in after a day out walking the many beaches, cliffs, and country parks that are all either right on the doorstep or a short drive away. Some beaches exclude dogs from March to the end of September, but we found that there is usually an area of the beach set aside where the dogs can let off. A lot of the pubs are dog friendly. All in all its a wonderful place to stay. Our 3 golden retrievers loved it!

  This ground floor flat was very hard to find.

  Put the postcode in and it takes you further up the road. It took us a good 30 to 45 mins to find the flat. Outside of the flat is not really very welcoming on a busy main road looking out onto a black stoned wall from across the road. However, the inside was very clean, tidy and comfy. There was a smell of damp in the bathroom and evidence of this between the shower and toilet. The flat was cold on arrival and it was very difficult to find the central heating controls,but they were found and was able to take the chill off the flat. The bedding and towels were all nice and fresh, also the whole of the flat was spotless. The flats location was ideal because I was attending a sportive at The Harbour. But on booking remember the flat is situated on a busy main road which limits (if warm ) choices of opening windows to let in fresh air due to the noise from the road. I also felt like if l left the windows open someone would gain easy access to the flat.
