“We had a lovely stay at Little Gwaelod, the dogs loved it and it was very warm and comfortable and in a very sunny disposition.”

The property was in a fabulous location, with easy access to many places. The garden was lovely to walk around with lots of twists and turns and you could see the sun setting from parts of it. The property itself we found to be very out of date, and could do with an overhaul. It seemed to be quite damp in places, the hot tap in the bath was spinning around and the extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work. However, this would not deter me from booking again, and I would recommend this ...

Mrs Coates was a lovely lady and very helpful.

“We loved this cottage.”

It was the cleanest, most comfortable place we have stayed at in North Wales. It is set in beautiful surroundings with lovely gardens and a lake. Tricia, the owner, is an absolute delight. We hope to be able to return.

“Everything you could need on a week's holiday in Anglesey plus the lovely gardens with the geese , rabbits and horses on site.”

Trish was a lovely host , plus Keith was very helpful with WiFi . Weather was intermittent as to be expected of UK but we got out and about when sun came out. Lovely peaceful acommodation to see the sun go down. Thanks Trisha and Keith of course.

David June 2024

“Our second stay.”

and we don't intend it to be our last. A lovely place in a lovely part of Anglesey.

- David, June 2024
Heather May 2024

“Had a wonderful week at Little Gwaelod.”

The quite setting made it a peaceful place to stay but shops and amenities are only a short drive away. Will be returning here next year.

- Heather, May 2024
Paul March 2024

“We were made very welcome and it’s a comfortable place to stay.”

Convenient for the A55 and A5 to get around Anglesey.

- Paul, March 2024
Marion March 2024

“We had issues with the following-no heating on arrival with 2 windows open and the weather was cold and wet.”

The owner was able to provide a heater by the second day and restored the central heating by the third day. The TV was listed as a smart TV but the poor Internet rendered this facility unusable. The DVD player could not be used as there was no hand set. The towel rail fell off in the bathroom and the shower head would stay in the required position due to wear. The kettle wouldn't pour without dribbling hot water. There were no instruction leaflets for the electrical goods and no welcome pack of up to date information. No welcome tray on arrival.

- Marion, March 2024
Janet February 2024

“Clean and comfortable with a peaceful homely feel.”

We enjoyed our stay.

Peter December 2023

“Some reviews are not very good .”

But this cottage has just been completely re carpeted throughout . Spent 2 wks there in December 23 it was great and will definitely return in the future

- Peter, December 2023
Damian November 2023

“The cottage would benefit from better broadband connection and a new cooker.”

However, we love how cosy it is,the size is perfect for us and the location is ideal. Thank you

- Damian, November 2023
Susan September 2023

“The area was lovely but unfortunately as nice and welcoming as the owner was the property was tired and run down and needing some TLC as Lot of damp which smelt bad and the white goods Need to be replaced .”

Otherwise we made the best of the area which is stunning .

- Susan, September 2023
Moira September 2023

“Lovely cottage with beautiful garden.”

Will certainly return

- Moira, September 2023
Elaine September 2023

“Mrs Coates was very welcoming and we had a very enjoyable short break.”

The cottage is comfortable and clean but in need of a little TLC, and maybe a few of the older items replacing.

- Elaine, September 2023
Roger August 2023

“Lovely to go back for a second visit, home from home, clean and comfy, beautiful gardens with swans and duck by the pond.”

Needs a bit of updating and kitchen tap (hot) very hard to turn off other than that a realy nice place to stay, thank you.

- Roger, August 2023
Mary August 2023

“We had a wonderful stay at Little Gwaelod.”

Mrs Coates is a lovely lady who was more than happy to chat with us and suggest places for us to visit. The cottage provided us with everything we needed for a perfect holiday and it is in a great situation for traveling around Anglesey as it is just off Junction 4 of the A55. Beaches and access to the coastal path are close by. The cottage is at the end of a private driveway with ample room for parking in a safe and secluded environment. The gardens are glorious to explore or just relax in. We would have no hesitation in staying in this lovely cottage again. Many thanks to Mrs Coates for making our stay so enjoyable.

- Mary, August 2023
Dennis August 2023

“The owner Mrs Coates is a lovely lady and the property is set in beautiful grounds, the property could do with some general updating,indeed she was trying to get the carpets measured for new while we were there, the appliances ie fridge and cooker could do with replacing although they did work perfectly, I think she is doing her best to stay on top of everything but it is all getting a bit much for her since she lost her husband, I think that few hundred pounds spent would be very beneficial, a new blind in the bathroom being a must,having said all this I would definitely stay again,the positives definitely outweigh the negatives.”

- Dennis, August 2023
Arthur August 2023

“From the Minute we arrived, the Lady treated us like long term friends, she made us So welcome which just added to the Pleasure of staying at the property, I can't think of anywhere else we have stayed that made us so relaxed and at ease !”

If we can repeat the booking next year, we will do without hesitation ! Also the owner made a really big fuss of our little dog which pleased us no end !

- Arthur, August 2023
Ruth July 2023

“The property smelled very unpleasant from the moment we arrived.”

The carpets were very dirty, the sofa and chairs were very grimy and all the soft furnishings smelled horrible. There was also mildew in the dilapidated kitchen cupboards and that smell also permeated into the air. Everything we took with us needed washing when we got home. A very disappointing experience for our one week away! We would not recommend this to anyone.

The owner was very nice but the property could do with some upgrades like a new washing machine as it has a problem you can’t open it when it has finished told the owner she it may need replacing fridge freezer irusty as the washing machine and the carpet could do with a good clean I don’t know why she has got carpet when She allows pets it would be better with laminate floors

- Colin, June 2023
David June 2023

“An excellent base for discovering the west of Anglesey.”

The cottage was clean, comfortable and spacious, surrounded by incredible gardens. The host was welcoming but unobtrusive. All in all ,probably the best Sykes cottage we have stayed in over the years.

- David, June 2023
Peter May 2023

“This cottage was very clean and comfortable and the owner was very welcoming.”

The garden was very spacious and we were able to sit and walk in all the different"rooms" outside. The cottage was very well situated for getting about and easy to find from the instructions. Some of the kitchen equipment could do with updating, but was perfectly adequate except for two saucepans which didn't work well on the cooker as weren't flat enough! But overall would highly recommend this cottage on beautiful Anglesey.

- Peter, May 2023
Kathryn April 2023

“Our hostess was pleasant and friendly and made us feel welcome right from the start, she also suggested some places we might like to visit, which we did and were not disappointed.”

The cottage is very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed wandering round the beautiful garden. I'd like to go back when the laburnum arch is in flower. I hope to go back anyway! We had a really lovely holiday.

- Kathryn, April 2023
David March 2023

“Pleasant stay and a nice friendly welcome from mrs coates”

- David, March 2023
John March 2023

“I had a lovely short stay.”

The garden is spectacular, the property has all you require and is warm. I had to leave early due to a family emergency so my apologies and i am sorry I didn't get to thank you personally I had to leave very late at night. I would love to come back to continue to explore the area. Thanks for the tip about the local beech it was just me and the dogs and we loved it.

- John, March 2023
Tracy October 2022

“Absolutely loved this cottage and the surroundings of the property.”

Towels and bedding supplied all ready for my arrival. I didn’t need to take anything but food and drink for me and all my dogs needs. The owner met me with a very warm welcome. She was delightful and so helpful in recommending near by places and there were lots of paraphernalia in the cottage to find places to go. My dog and I would love to go there again next time we are looking for a break on Anglesey. Loved every minute of everyday here, felt home from home.

- Tracy, October 2022
Helen October 2022

“We spent another very enjoyable week at Little Gwaelod.”

It was our 4th time which must say a lot about the property. Tricia, the owner is such a lovely welcoming host. The dogs enjoyed exploring the extensive grounds and hunting for rabbits and the heron on the lake. We certainly plan another trip next year. It is such a peaceful place yet not far from shops and beaches.

- Helen, October 2022
Dawn September 2022

“I had a very enjoyable week at a lovely bungalow.”

I found it clean and extremely comfortable. The gardens around the property are beautiful. It was so nice to sit in the lounge watching the rabbits on the garden. Heron. Geese. Great spotted woodpecker. A shame the weather let me down on the last day! Tricia is a lovely host. There if you need anything . Will I go again? Definitely if Tricia will let me.

- Dawn, September 2022
Nigel September 2022

“Very noisy boiler keeps you awake you can hear the owners phone ringing and their conversation.”

Owners washer switched on early morning woke us up. Blind in the bathroom was mouldy chairs covered with dust all white goods in kitche6 rusty. We left 2 days early not a good example of a a sykes cottage Needs a fully revamping Would not recommend

- Nigel, September 2022
Valerie Marion August 2022

“This has been our third visit and we found it equally enjoyable as the first two.”

We have a dog and the available facilities are good for its freedom and exercise as well as our own. The area around the original farmhouse has many places where seats are available for sitting in either sun or shade. As the farm area is very close to an exit from the A55 it is easy to make good use of the main route across the Isle of Anglesey.

- Valerie Marion, August 2022

Very quiet very peaceful just what we ordered The host Tricia Was very welcoming and made us feel at home we were able to room all the gardens look out for all the hidden places

- Garry, July 2022
David July 2022

“On arrival everything looked good.”

On entering the cottage we noticed an old and damp smell. We could not put any of our cloths in the drawers because of the damp smell. Later on we had to move the settee only the notice that the back had fungus on and some of the walls and tables also had damp showing. We think that the whole cottage needs a deep clean except for the bathroom which looks like it was new fairly recently. In the kitchen thinks did not get any better. The oven didn’t work, the knobs were dirty and the numbers for heat we’re worn out. The washing machine was really dirty and rusty so we did not use it and the fridge had rust on the door. All the utensils needed to be washed before we could use them. Reading the reviews from years back it must have been so much better. On the good side the garden was really nice with ponds and lawns and lots of seating areas and we were allowed to walk our dog anywhere. The owner was a lovely lady living there but I think it is all a bit much for her now. So sorry that this sounds so bad but it could be a lovely cottage with a good renovation

- David, July 2022
Brian June 2022

“This was my second stay the property the cottage is very clean and comfortable probably 3* as stated but in saying that it's very comfortable warm and clean one of lovely things is it's set in a very lovely garden my wife and myself spend alot of time just walking around and just sitting daydreaming it's so good for the mind Patricia the owner is very welcoming and lovely but do not tell everyone as as i fear it could become over booked Brian Drew.”

- Brian, June 2022
Wilma April 2022

“The cottage is warm and comfortable, well appointed and very clean.”

The gardens surrounding it are a pleasant area to enjoy. The decor is a bit dated but that doesn’t really affect anything. Tricia was very welcoming and pleasant and extremely helpful. We have no complaints regarding the overall experience and would certainly rebook this accommodation and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

- Wilma, April 2022
Lynne March 2022

“We had an amazing week, everything was so good even the weather was on our side.”

Tricia very welcoming, cottage clean and equipped with everything we needed. We will definitely recommend to friends. Thankyou.

- Lynne, March 2022
Joanne March 2022

“Tried without success to contact the owner prior to arrival as instructed by Sykes to arrange key collection, so had to turn up and hope for the best.”

Property smelt awful, like walking into a care home. After a trip to the local Wilko I spent the first hour cleaning but didn’t have much success. Having health issues and limited mobility I was concerned the lack of cleanliness would make my condition worse and so departed after just one night of what should have been a four night stay. Raised my concerns with Sykes and the owner on arrival but received no satisfaction. Promised call backs from Sykes, these never happened. Very disappointing and upsetting as this was a treat from friends to try and lift my spirits.

- Joanne, March 2022

“Second time we have stayed here.”

Fantastic cottage, very comfy. Big gardens ideal if you are taking a dog ( which we did ). Patricia our host can't do enough for u ,recommending, walks ,beaches etc. We had a lovely week..

Andrew August 2021

“Lovely week at the cottage, the property is a little dated, but there was everything you would need, plenty of space, lovely gardens and within easy reach of everything anglesey has to offer, I would happily stay again, Trish the owner is such a nice friendly lady.”

- Andrew, August 2021
Philip July 2021

It's neat clean, well equipped and comfortable. We have no complaints at all.

Dave July 2021

“We booked this on the great garden that was advertised - unfortunately there was dog mess around the gardens and paths from the owners own dog (we did witness this) that was never cleared up.”

Another property that was on the owners property had a dog that actually got through the hedge and wanted to attack our dog or selves (luckily the owner managed to get it back) The cottage is decent but in urgent need of some TLC. There was no matching plates, and what was there were chipped, the cups were old with scratch marks inside etc and the kitchen cupboard floor was worn out and had holes in. All the appliances were very old and worn and rusty. There was no welcome pack to say where the local doctors, vets etc were or any other local facilities. There was only a list of pubs and restaurants. It would not take a great deal of time and money to make the cottage feel more welcoming - along with no dog mess. I have no idea if Sykes will actually publish this - but I would not say that this comes up to the expectations we have of a Sykes listed property as we have been using them for years and normally are more than pleased.

Jennifer October 2020

“We are at Little Gwaelog at the moment.”

It is our first holiday since lockdown in March and we are loving every minute as is our cavachon Lexi. The cottage is clean,well equipped and warm and cosy. We had a lovely welcome from the owner and we settled in very quickly. The bath and shower is a bonus as is the use of the owners fishing lake and extensive garden. It has been a real treasure of a find for a holiday in these difficult times and has enabled us to relax and unwind. Definitely be rebooting soon

- Jennifer, October 2020
Ian September 2020

“The only problem with this holiday was it wasn't long enough.”

Please thank Mrs coates for allowing us the privilege to share her home. She was a fantastic host,the cottage was absolutely brilliant and so comfy we didn't want to leave.the settings of the cottage was lovely even in September. It must be truly outstanding in spring and summer. The wildlife was all around us all the time. I am hoping that Mrs coates will allow us to return. Thank you once again for a truly lovely holiday xx

“A peaceful delight in north Anglesey ,near enough for the sea as well as an abundance of retail shops on the outskirts of Holyhead.”

The owner was very pleasent to meet and the annexe is set in a very large number of gardens which we able to explore. We had a very enjoyable holiday away from the pressures of the current situation.

- David, July 2020
Sharon March 2020

“The location of this holiday let was remote but had good access to the main expressway to access all the island.”

The property is very dated and mismatched and would benefit from a refurb to bring it in line with other properties of this price range. The kitchen is very well equipped however wasnt the cleanest, I had to wash a few items before I could use them and the microwave was rusty with peeling paint. The bathroom was okay and the bed was extremely comfortable and we slept really well. There was a lot of dog poo outside on the gravelled paths and we had to be careful where we walked. Overall an okay stay but would not return.

- Sharon, March 2020

- Nicola, June 2019
Dawn May 2019

“The cottage was well situated and the owner very helpful and friendly.”

It was not such a high standard as many of the properties we have stayed in but it was only 3star which is a fair rating. The cottage was warm, clean and the bed was comfortable. We did have to be a bit careful of dog mess which the owners dog seemed to like leaving right by our car but that was the worst thing. We were able to wander the gardens and our dog loved that.

- Dawn, May 2019

Mark December 2018

“We stayed over Christmas, me the Mrs and the dog as we deciede to have a more quite, more relaxing time of the year.”

The cottage was exellent, more than met our expectations. Would not hesitate to recommend...

- Mark, December 2018
Kathleen December 2018

“Although the cottage was comfortable, it needed an overhaul in terms of decor throughout as it had a tired, dated appearance.”

We were unable to use the electric fire in the lounge, as it was ancient looking and didn't appear safe. The wi.fi was intermittent and the television was so small, we struggled to read any script on the screen. Very disappointed as we visited 24 Rhodewood Saundersfoot in November, and were very pleased with the high standard of that property.

- Kathleen, December 2018
Edward December 2018

“A more than ample cottage for two people set in lovely grounds.”

- Edward, December 2018
Elizabeth November 2018

“Cottage was great and the bed was to comfy :-) Loads of shops and restaurants Only down sides were because we went in November and it went dark early the cottage could do with another light outside at the side of the cottage struggled to see the dogs!”

And we couldn’t just go for a walk had to take them out in the car to react a safe place to walk them! Other than that it was great break and the owner was lovely would love to stay again maybe in summer next time

- Elizabeth, November 2018

Charles April 2018

John December 2017

“When we arrived the hosts were not expecting us and the property was not ready.”

We have been to this place at this time of year for the past five years and so they knew us; they prepared the property within the hour whilst we went food shopping. The next day the hosts received notification of our arrival - posted the day before we left Not acceptable

John December 2015

“We have been to Little Gwaelod four times now and will certainly be visiting again.”

The owners are welcoming and a friendly couple who live in the adjoining property, but have never intruded into our privacy. We always visit in the quiet season, but even then the gardens are wonderful. The place is dog-friendly with a couple of fields usually available for the dog to play in, and the property is conveniently located to a large number of beaches to be reached just a short journey away.

- John, December 2015
John March 2015

“"This was our third visit to Little Gwaelod and the owners were, once again, very welcoming.”

We had no worries about our dog who really enjoys exploring and there are even enclosed fields where dogs can play. The property is close to Holyhead and major stores yet is still quiet and relaxing. Each time we visit Little Gwaelod we find a new beach without travelling too far."

- John, March 2015
Glenys February 2015

“In a beautiful area.”

The gardens at this property were superb, we would love to see the gardens in full bloom - they were amazing now but in summer they must be outstanding. The owners property is adjoining the cottage, they were helpful and had really good knowledge and info about the area - lovely people. It was a beautiful tranquil break in a beautiful surroundings, would definitely recommend a stay here.

- Glenys, February 2015
Lucy November 2014

“Beautiful garden even for November!”

The owners were so welcoming and more than happy to suggest good places to go with our two dogs. There are lots of places to visit in the surrounding area. Thoroughly enjoyed our short break and wished we were there longer! The owner’s lovely dog even came to say goodbye before we left. Most definitely will be rebooking.

- Lucy, November 2014
John November 2014

“We found this place last year and loved it so much we vowed to come back: The owners were really pleasant and helpful without being intrusive.”

Reading the many lovely comments in the visitor's book, we are not the only people to have enjoyed their stay at Little Gwaelod

- John, November 2014
Brian October 2014

“The cottage was very comfortable, we have been for many cottage holidays and this one ranks among the best.”

Our hosts were excellent and they have a lovely garden which they open once a year to raise money for the National Gardens Scheme. Anglesey has a wonderful coast line with a coast path and is superb for walking.

“Little Gwaelod is ideally situated for getting about the island, its proximity to the A55 makes car travel very easy.”

Much of our time was taken up by walking and the Anglesey Coastal Path figured in several of our walks. The excellent scenery was seen at its best by the good weather we experienced for our stay on the island.

Diana May 2014

“It is hard to pick out only one thing I liked.”

My holiday was extremely good, the cottage and the gardens were superb. The owners were kindness itself and I had a really lovely time. Would I recommend this cottage to a friend? without a doubt.

Ian April 2014

“Cottage very comfortable in perfect position for exploring Anglesey.”

The owners were very kind and helpful and the gardens surrounding the property were superb. Easy access to the A55 yet far enough away for the noise not to be obtrusive. A spacious and comfortable property for 2 people.

- Ian, April 2014
Alan December 2013

“A warm clean bungalow.”

Would recommend this property to anyone .

- Alan, December 2013
Peter November 2013

“Good position for travel to other parts of island; which is not large anyway.”

Superb for birdwatching, walking, and geology - all nearby. Owners very animal friendly and accommodating. Great garden. Cosy and comfortable cottage.

- Peter, November 2013
Linda October 2013

“The cottage was warm and comfortable.”

The owners were welcoming and friendly, without being invasive. Driving around the island was excellent due to the time of year, and we visited a lot of places that we had not been too previously. A lovely peaceful break away from the hustle and bustle of the Midlands. Anglesey is a gem, we even saw our first seal.

- Linda, October 2013
Malcolm August 2013

“Little Gwaelod was a very comfortable base for us to explore Anglesey and North Wales.”

We especially liked the nice hot water whenever needed, heating we could put on ourselves if chilly and the excellent shower. We would definitely recommend to others.

- Malcolm, August 2013
David July 2013

“This had to have been one of the best holidays I've ever had.”

The location is superb and the owners very friendly. Thanks for a great time.

- David, July 2013
Anthony July 2013

“The owners of the property were particularly hospitable.”

Helpful without being intrusive. The garden in which the property was situated was a gem. For those with an interest in horticulture it was packed with interesting features. Local amenities were excellent. A first class supermarket in nearby Holyhead was a good find. Reasonably priced vegetables and fish produced locally were fresh, well presented and delicious.

- Anthony, July 2013
Sandra April 2013

“A lovely property in a great location with delightful hosts.”

- Elaine, October 2012
Peter October 2012

“This is a nice cottage with good hosts in a great location.”

The hosts provided ample tourist information leaflets together with information on places to eat out. This was our second visit, we would go again.

- Peter, October 2012
Jane April 2012

“A perfect position for visiting top sites in Anglesey.”

The owner was extremely helpful and gave us good pointers for the best places to visit.

- Jane, April 2012
Janet February 2012

“The most dog friendly property we have ever stayed in.”

The cottage was set well back from the road so we were able to walk the dogs in the grounds (on leads due to water fowl and sheep - lambing was in progress) rather than having to brave the main road. The location, very close to the A55, meant that travel was very easy to other parts of the island. The local beach is super for dogs and watching the RAF training flights was an added bonus for us, although it could be noisy! The island itself is lovely with some lovely beaches, walks and places of interest plus the little towns and villages to visit. Even in February we had no trouble finding coffee and lunch out each day and especially enjoyed Plas Newydd and the RSPB Centre at South Stacks. The nearest bus stop is not far away and a trip to Bangor on the bus is worth taking to see a lot of the Island.

- Janet, February 2012
Vivienne November 2011

“The cottage location was superb.”

Due to the season of our stay we did not get the full benefit of the gardens but they would be fabulous in Summer. Fell in love with Jeremy the goose who was very funny and loving. The owners were very nice and helpful.

- Vivienne, November 2011
Enid November 2011

“Lovely comfy bed and pillows - slept well.”

Nice Egyptian cotton towels in the bathroom. All the animals; Lucky the cat, Molly and Ben, the ganders and especially naughty Jeremy the cross billed goose! The owners were exceptionally nice people and the approach to the cottage was beautiful.

- Enid, November 2011

- Tom, September 2011
Vivienne July 2011

“We loved the location of Little Gwaelod; so well placed for so many attractions on Anglesey or very close by.”

The owners were delightful hosts and we were entertained by their animals daily. The only thing we didn't like was that it ended!

- Vivienne, July 2011
Linda May 2011

“The cottage was comfortable and it was nice to be able to relax in the lounge at the end of the day.”

The owners were helpful and friendly but left us to enjoy our holiday. The gardens were lovely and we would definitely go back there and recommend it to our friends.

- Linda, May 2011
Tim May 2011

“The location was superb and the welcome from the owners very good.”

The property had had obvious recent refurbishments and was ideal for our needs. As always, Sykes properties are "exactly what it says on the tin"!

- Tim, May 2011
Peter April 2011

“A very clean comfortable warm cottage.”

Everything you needed set in a beautiful garden with a fishing lake. It was lovely to be able to take my labrador with us. Our hosts made us very welcome. You do need a car here to shop, visit restaurants and travel around the island, which has many interesting places to visit. Weather was lovely!

- Peter, April 2011

Jack September 2010

“The owners were so welcoming and helpful.”

Even their cats accepted the dog. The gardens are out of this world - the cottage really reflected, and is redolent, of the area. We had never visited Anglesey - it's quite a trek but would love to go once more.

- Jack, September 2010
Angi August 2010

About the location

CAERGEILIOG

Trearddur Bay 5 miles; Rhosneigr 8 miles.

The small village of Caergeiliog is situated close to the wonderfully scenic west coastline on the Isle of Anglesey, between Trearddur Bay and Rhosneigr, both of which are very popular seaside villages. The area is truly beautiful - a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine sandy beaches (European Blue Flag and Green Coast Award). Watersports, bathing, fishing, sailing, windsurfing and plane spotting at RAF Valley are the main activities in the summer months, and golfers will enjoy two excellent 18 hole links golf courses. It's a great place for nature lovers, with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve and at Valley Lakes, as well as lots of rock pools and scenic cliff top walks to explore. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in nearby Rhosneigr and Trearddur Bay, plus Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, an interesting harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the fast ferry.
