“An excellent weeks stay at Pen Brynn with everything we needed in a very quiet & peaceful location.”

Peter August 2024

“Lovely accommodation not far off the A5025 near to Benllech.”

We were greeted by the owners Justin and Ffion who made us feel very welcome, we also had a welcome gift of wine,flowers and Welsh Raspberry Splits very nice touch.My main purpose for our visit was to re visit my childhood haunts and show them to my daughters. My Grandmother had kept a farm at Penrhos, Holyhead, so l showed them all around the beauty spots. It was also a good base for visiting the National Trust properties Plas Newydd and Penrhyn Castle. Weather not too good but we did all we intended to do.Thank you for the loan of your lovely house.

- Peter, August 2024

“A really relaxing break for us.”

The cottage very nice. Extremely comfortable. Great location to travel to some great areas for walking,which we love. First time to Anglesey,love what we were able to see of the island.

Lynda August 2024

“This was a very clean, comfortable and relaxing holiday home.”

Every effort had been made to make it feel home from home. Thank you

- Lynda, August 2024
Iola August 2024

“Beautiful cottage - clean, tidy and well presented.”

It included all the amenities that you would need as well as a lovely welcome gift of wine and Welsh cakes. The garden was completely enclosed which was safe for children. Situated in a very convenient location to all the local attractions with the beach a few minutes drive away. Would definitely recommend.

- Iola, August 2024
Ronald July 2024

“In forty (40) years of holiday cottages this was the best we have had.”

Although rather old school in build, the quality and spaciousness shine through which coupled with a superb location works for a great adult holiday. Local beaches at Benlech and Red Wharf are great and there is easy access to Caernarfon and Llandudno for the bigger centres. Snowdonia is also within easy reach.

- Ronald, July 2024
Susan July 2024

“Lovely spacious property with country views and Snowdonia in the distance.”

Property was clean, tidy, well presented, had a lovely garden and is well equipped with everything you could need in a holiday property. Helpful owners next door if you needed them but never intrusive. Lovely base to explore Anglesey and plenty to see.

- Susan, July 2024

“The photos advertising this property are misleading as it no longer looks this smart and immaculate.”

Weeds all over pathway, garden overgrown and grass was full of thistles (would not allow children out with bare feet) as well as needing to be cut. The "wow" factor was definitely not there. Inside was furnished to a good standard and had all you could need, but the stench of drains in the kitchen and bathroom was really unpleasant and needs attention, most off putting! I'd say it was in need of a deep clean and some TLC. I know it's made clear that the property is adjacent to the owners, but wasn't expecting to open the bedroom blinds to find people right outside, or to be eating a meal in the dining room with people wandering past as it overlooks their garden. Not a major issue, but maybe make it clear in property description that twin room, bathroom, dining room and utility all look straight into owners garden (we were wary not to intrude on their privacy as much as concerned for our own). However, it did not detract from the peace and quiet.

- Cheryl, May 2024
Joe April 2024

“Great cottage, lovely setting, helpful owners.”

Winner!

Tim January 2024

“Clean, comfortable, a lovely bungalow in a great location - quiet and in the country, but close to the coast and facilities.”

Very helpful owners.

- Tim, January 2024
Sally November 2023

“No DVD player in lounge - only in main bedroom TV.”

There wasn't any fire starter supply - this was rectified the following day after we contacted the agent. The cottage itself was fabulous with very comfortable main bed and sofas in the lounge. Found property easily. Great places to go to in any direction from location. Arrived mid evening and had informed agent of this. Heating was on when we arrived but hot water was not - no instructions for either. So had to wait a while after activating program for a warm wash. Electric shower - so were able to have a hot shower in abscence of hot water. Kitchen: all tea towels and the oven glove had not been washed prior to our stay; hob and sink and all cupboard shelves and fronts were extremely grimy; we cleaned the areas we needed and set dishwasher that night with all the crockery/cutlery we expected to use and also the washing up sink drainer (which was especially dirty). Not enough drinking glasses or small/medium plates esp if 4 people were in residence. Sorry for criticism re cleanliness (which is paramount), but if nobody informs you, how do you know..? Such a fabulous cottage apart from the above.

John June 2023

“The property is in first class condition with everything you need for a holiday that meets your desires for comfort.”

Ample wardrobe space, excellent shower, perfect utility, spotless, and attentive hosts. Beautiful welcome sck on arrival. Observations of note: 1. WiFi is slow. Can watch Netflix but don't expect to run games, multiple phones, etc. Not much can be done because of the location so please be aware. Also you need to connect to three access points due to the thickness of the walls. 5 mins and one password, so not too bad.... But also be aware that wandering around the house means the connection to WiFi needs to switch access points so don't be surprised if the connection drops for a few seconds between rooms... 2. Just a few mor kitchen utensils would help. Not many glasses and cooking utensils - needs more, but we did manage okay. 3. It is not simple to locate. The post code takes you to nearby caravan sites... Follow the instructions carefully and look for a 'property name plaque'at the head of the drive. Ffion is very helpful and would guide you in if you were stuck. We had a wonderful week and would highly recommend this property and host for its quality and peace.

- John, June 2023
Karen May 2023

“We have had a fantastic holiday at Pen Bryn.”

Accommodation exceeded our expectations. Clean, well equipped and situated in the most tranquil and beautiful surroundings. Our two boys loved the enclosed garden space and surrounding area. A great base to explore Anglesey.

- Karen, May 2023
Thomas April 2023

“One of the best places we have stayed.”

So relaxing and a stunning location. The property had everything we needed, or could ever need. It was just perfect. Lovely welcome pack, that we really appreciated. Property is so well cared for, clean and so comfortable. It's really big too. Most comfortable bed we've slept in. Lovely linen and towels too. Kitchen is really well equipped and washing machine and dryer so welcome. The gardens and patio were a delight, with beautiful, mature planting and a lovely big lawn. The views were amazing. Our hosts were really lovely and friendly. Made us so welcome. We will certainly return in the future. Thanks for a wonder stay.

- Thomas, April 2023
Steve April 2023

“Excellent, thank you.”

- Steve, April 2023
Catherine March 2023

“I wanted a relaxing and scenic place to stay for my second week in Anglesey, still within close proximity to the beach, and Pen Bryn met the brief perfectly.”

It was lovely and clean on arrival, the kitchen had everything I needed for preparing meals and the bed I slept in was very comfy. I enjoyed watching the little lambs in the fields and made use of the nice garden when it was sunny. A great base for exploring the local area and rest of the island and would definitely stay here again

- Catherine, March 2023

“The only thing we struggled with was signal on our phones to use Google maps and search and book online activities.”

Accommodation, garden and scenes were beautiful and perfect for a family, also very safe!

- Rachel, July 2022
John July 2022

“We are very happy with this property.”

our second visit and hope tp go again next year. the only thing we would like is the toilet to be higher it was a little low, so if it is ever replaced can it be with a higher one please, i think this is the case in most properties.

- John, July 2022
Janet May 2022

“We had a friendly, warm welcome from Ffion and a lovely gift pack on arrival, thank you.”

We had a wonderful holiday at Pen Bryn, it really was a home from home. The cottage is very spacious and comfortable with plenty of light and lovely views of the countryside from every window. The garden is a lovely space to enjoy meals outside or games. The location is perfect for peace and quiet whilst at the cottage but there is lots to do nearby and we ventured everywhere. We even managed to see Puffin at South Stack which was perfect for our grandson. Highly recommended and we look forward to returning. Very helpful and informative service from Sykes Cottages, thank you.

- Janet, May 2022
Keith April 2022

Robert April 2022

“We had a lovely short break at Pen Bryn.”

The cottage is lovely - well equipped and very nicely presented. We were out all day enjoying Anglesey, and it was great to come back to prepare a meal and rest for the evening. The wood burner and reclining chairs helped a lot! Great location, too - perfect for Benllech and Moelfre. We spent a happy three days on the beaches and cliffs. All in all, a great holiday in which Pen Bryn played an important part - recommended!

- Robert, April 2022
Tracey October 2021

“What can I say, I stepped through the door and wanted to move in.”

I felt totally at home and comfortable immediately, a welcome gift that was very much appreciated and a lovely welcome from Ffion too. I have to say that I think everything was perfect. I really needed to recharge my batteries and relax and the beautiful home and surroundings certainly allowed me to do this. So close to many amazing beaches, walks, great cycling, shops and restaurants. I am planning to return early in 2022.

- Tracey, October 2021
Julie July 2021

“We had a lovely time in this holiday cottage.”

Very welcoming hosts, very clean, comfortable, lots of space for storage. Nice garden and very quiet surroundings. Gorgeous beaches within a couple of miles and a great base for exploring Anglesey

- Julie, July 2021
Rose June 2021

“A very comfortable home from home quiet cottage.”

Lovely leather recliners in a comfortable lounge and a spacious kitchen and utility room make this cottage a home from home. The owners live next door. They are very helpful and friendly. A gift of wine, Welsh cakes and milk await you. There is a quiet chill garden and lovely view of the local sheep grazing in fields. Within a few mile there are a selection of lovely local beaches.

- Rose, June 2021
Debbie October 2020

“Pen Bryn is superb accommodation.”

Spacious, super comfy and extremely well equipped. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

- Debbie, October 2020
Claire September 2020

“We have just returned from a 4 night stay at Pen Bryn and we couldn’t have asked for more.”

Every expectation was met and then some. Everything has been thought of and the property is so comfortable it didn’t feel like a rental property at all more like a home. Having young children it’s sometimes a struggle to find somewhere that’s completely child friendly but being all on 1 level, carpet in the bedrooms and a large enclosed garden this was perfect. We could let our 3 year old run free without worry. Perfect location to explore Anglesey and even though you get the peace of feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere Benllech is only a mile away for anything you might need. Really can’t say enough about this place We would recommend to anyone. Thanks for a lovely visit!

- Claire, September 2020
Brenda September 2020

“Outstanding cottage in a peaceful setting 2 miles from Benllech.”

Everything you could wish for is provided in this thoughtfully planned accommodation. Very comfortable, relaxing and spotlessly clean. Highly recommended.

- Brenda, September 2020
Stuart August 2020

“Really enjoyed our stay at the bungalow.”

Excellent base for us to explore the island, great location - so quiet and peaceful! Bungalow is really warm, well furnished and tastefully decorated. Kitchen was well kitted out and utility room was a god send for washing/drying our stuff. Excellent outside area for the kids to burn off some energy or to sit at the table and have a BBQ. Not far from Benllech and Llangefni. Our hosts were extremely friendly. Lovely welcome package too. We would look to book again and have already recommended to our family.

- Stuart, August 2020

- Rose, July 2020

“The cottage was excellent we had all the onsite facilities we needed.”

The cottage was very nicely situated in Farm land. the owners were very friendly and helpful. It was very easy to access the villages close to the cottage. A great curry house near the local gold club too. We will definitely be back to this well situated cottage in the future.

- Laurence, August 2019
Susan August 2019

“Our stay at the cottage was most enjoyable, mainly due to the comfort, cleanliness and all the facilities within.”

A vase of fresh flowers, wine and cake, milk in the fridge, gave a special feel to our arrival. All this extra effort made by the owners was much appreciated. Set in lovely peaceful surroundings we felt totally relaxed, a refreshing experience and wouldn't hesitate to return.

- Susan, August 2019
Nicola August 2019

“Pen Bryn is an exceptionally clean and comfortable cottage with everything you could ever need.”

So nice to have little extras such as a second TV and a tumble dryer as well! The photos on the website don’t really do it justice. Bedding and towels are of really high quality and the decor is very tasteful. The cottage is situated close to the coast with its beautiful beaches which made exploring this part of Anglesey easy. We would definitely return!

- Nicola, August 2019
Elena July 2019

“The Pen Bryn cottage is superb.”

It is very well furnished with all appliances that one might need for both short and longer stays, has very comfortable furniture and it’s is well laid out. The owners have put a lot of thought into the decor and the little touches made us feel really welcome. It is a good base for exploring Anglesey, within easy reach for a lot of tourist attractions. We would recommend trying out the Boat House Cafe and the beach at the Red Wharf Bay.

- Elena, July 2019
