  A well-equipped cottage offering plenty of space and the perfect garden.

  We had a fortnight stay and loved the cottage for several reasons: brilliantly placed for short drive to beautiful beaches, a short drive to retail park for all shopping needs, and of course, spacious living accommodation. Having two reception rooms meant we could have a place for quiet if you wanted to be away from television etc. The garden is a sun trap and completely dog friendly. We would honestly be back in a heartbeat as it offered us everything we needed. It’s cosy, quiet and comfortable. The nearest beach (cobbles) is walking distance, and the cottage is surrounded by walking opportunities. Great to see wonderful sunsets over the sea within walking distance. Although we didn’t use (heatwave!), I’d imagine the log fire would be fabulous on colder nights. Accessible downstairs ticks all the boxes, but steep stairs to twin room (was used by child), so not a problem. Very soft mattress in main bedroom - ok for one person sleeping in it, but not great with two…both found we soon began aching, so my husband ended up in a twin bed upstairs! Bring larger towels, if like us, you prefer bath sheets. But it has plenty of hand and bath towels if not. Kitchen has everything you need, but we ended up buying a pan on our travels…but that’s because the gourmet chef in my husband comes out and he’s fussy! We struggled with space for food because it’s so well-equipped! First cottage we’ve booked through Sykes (and there’s been many!) where you’ve plenty of toilet rolls for the two weeks (the ones with puppies…decent quality too), and plenty of cleaning products. We brought our own, but they provide everything you need for laundry, dishes and general upkeep. The water pressure is weak - we learned not to use the shower early evening/ late afternoon. You can work round it. Neighbour is a great source of information and incredibly friendly - he knows the island like his back garden. Best welcome basket we’ve ever had - with treats for grown-ups, children and dog alike…thank you! Helen, the owner, touched base by text on arrival. She offered advice and responded immediately to questions. This was our first visit to Anglesey as adults, and we couldn’t have spend a happier fortnight anywhere else!

  Hi!, Our holiday was great fun and , Capel Hermon the cottage its self was very nice, but the cleanliness has a lot to be desired.

  The kitchen utensil drawer had human hairs in, which we had to clean out and, wash all utensil. The oven is absolutely covered in burnt on fat. the kitchen cupboards doors were dirty, which had to be cleaned before I could use them. someone had spilled coffee all down the washing machine door and the flour and boards were all sticky and, it meant you were sticking to the floor. Which I cleaned. In the bedrooms cobwebs full of dust were hanging from the ceiling, which I had to clean off before getting in to bed. the walls were all dusty which had to be cleaned. I could go on and on. It was such a shame, it needed a really good deep clean, it looked like it had not been cleaned in a while, We also had issue with the hot water, upstairs in the two bathrooms, you could not have a hot shower, it ran hot and cold, you could definitely not use the bath, because we couldn't get hot water. I am sorry but it was for me unacceptable. The property itself could be beautiful, if it was a beautiful place, but I do not expect to clean the property before we start our holiday, also the quilts inside the quilt covers had blood stains on them. but we did enjoy our stay, but it was disappointing. I am sorry but I think I did need to say something.

  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.

  I wanted to take the family for a mid-summer week’s break to Anglesey to show them the places that I liked – Trearddur Bay, South Stack, Newborough Forest so I needed a location/place that fitted, and Capel Hermon (CH) did the job perfectly.

  Arrival (and departure) was easy. Tesco shop arrived, got more provisions from Anglesey Fine Foods in Valley (very nearby) and we were ready to relax. CH is spacious and comfortable for 4 adults, 2 little fellas, aged 5 years and 9 months, plus a dog that loved walks. The living area was fantastic, especially when we had 2 adult visitors and for the littlest to practice his crawling. The dining room table allowed us all to sit comfortably. Son in law managed to find time to read 2 books from the many in “CH’s library”. This was a bonus because the weather wasn’t brilliant, and we could do lots indoors. All the beds in the 3 bedrooms were comfortable and sleeping was easy. Found more places at Rhosneigr and Tywyn Mawr – Sandy Beach – excellent for dog walking. (Enclosed garden was also secure to let the dog out). A lovely holiday. Hope you like the gnome we left behind as a huge thank you!

  Enjoyed our stay at Ty Haf.

  Property is generally well equipped although the can opener could do with being upgraded. Snug sun room is a positive feature - despite the low sofa being a challenge to get up from if you have hip or knee mobility issues - compact back patio is a welcome sun trap. Bathroom has been modernised and provides the the option of both an efficient walk-in shower or bath with shower head available. Especially useful if you have children! Furniture is dated & living room dark but as we didn’t spend any time in it not a major issue for us. Visitors information needs updating as some of the recommended eating venues are no longer trading but generally helpful in providing trip options. Felt at home here & well worth considering staying here for families/ friends with or without children and dogs. If you have mobility issues it is a relatively steep hill to the beach and amenities.
