“Lovely clean, well equipped property, located in friendly village that has everything within short walk.”

Dogs welcomed almost everywhere in Anglesey, and we enjoyed the daily walks around the many beaches, easily travelled to from village. Had a lovely relaxing stay and will definitely return again. Owners Lee and DJ are fabulous hosts and are on hand if needed. Thank you both.

“Comfortable well equipped property, good hot tub Very stained sofa in living ...”

Comfortable well equipped property, good hot tub Very stained sofa in living room/kitchen, windows dirty on outside, covered in cobwebs

- Christine, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We were so pleased to read that you found our home both comfortable and well equipped. However, it was disappointing to read about the the mark on the sofa, the outside of the windows and the cobwebs (outside). Sadly, none of this was mentioned during your stay which means that we had no opportunity to explain the reasons for this. We shall do so now. The mark on the sofa was caused by water ingress from the roof lantern above the breakfast bar. Very recent high winds and heavy rainfall caused this. Window cleaning happens on a regular basis but, when we have high winds and storms (as we have in the past few weeks), the salt is carried in the air/rain and salty deposits are left on the glass. Last night Anglesey was hit by 80mph winds and, this morning, we woke to find our windows on our car covered in salt. It is an occupational hazard of living in a coastal village on an island surrounded by the sea. Living in a rural village also means that we do get spiders nesting on the outside of the property and we know they they do like the windows. This is probably because they know that when the lights are on, insects are attracted to the light and provide the spider with a tasty feast. We find that soon after cleaning the windows (and removing the webs); more webs appear. We noted that you made no comment as to the general cleanliness of our home and past feedback (high praise) speaks to the level of attention we pay to this. It is a pity that you did not raise these matters during your stay. You had our numbers and were in touch with us. Property Owner

“A beautiful property, decorated and furnished to very high standard.”

spotlessly clean and well maintained. Hot tub was fantastic and private at the rear of the property. Only a few minutes walk to the pretty village and beach with lots of lovely places to eat. Really enjoyed the holiday and the amazing weather helped. Very friendly owner who made sure everything was alright for us.

- Stephen, July 2024

Sharon July 2024

“What a beautifully decorated and equipped home from home Trefin is.”

I have never been anywhere that is so peaceful, even though it is on the main high street of the village, you wouldn't know it. The hot tub was an added bonus and used on a couple of occasions when the weather allowed it. The location was great for the beach, pubs and Fish & Chip shop, and small grocery shop all within walking distance. The only minor thing was the labelling on the dustbins for recycling I couldn't see the initials so had to guess what went in what bin. I would highly recommend this property and would stop there again if holidaying in the area. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

- Sharon, July 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback. We were so pleased to read that you enjoyed our home from home. We look forward to welcoming you back when you are next in the area. Property Owner

“Just returned from a wonderful week at Trefin in Cemaes Bay.”

A very comfortable, clean, well equiped property which has all you need for a self catering break. Owners very helpful and nearby to sort out any issues promptly. We recommend The Stag Inn for a meal in the village and Lastra Farm in Amlwch. Our favourite places visited were Newborough Warren and Aberffraw for walks.

Joyce November 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Trefin, the bungalow was very well laid out and is very well equipped with everything you could need and more.”

Beautifully furnished and clean, beds were comfortable, showers were good. Also with internet and sky TV. It is dog friendly in an enclosed private garden with a large hot tub. The friendly owners lived local and were on hand if needed, though all in the bungalow was excellent. Location is on the high street with just a short walk to the few shops, pubs, beaches and coastal walks. The Harbour Hotel and Stag Inn were both dog friendly with welcoming friendly staff. In all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay so much that we can’t wait to return next year.

“Just back from a great half term break at Trefin.”

Property was finished to an excellent standard and was one of the most well equipped properties we have stayed at. DJ, one of the owners was very friendly and available although we didn’t really need anything during our stay. Also very accommodating for pets. Had a lovely lunch out at the Gadlys hotel which is also dog friendly

The property is absolutely beautiful and the decor and furniture is 10 out 10. The owners have impeccable taste and very helpful too. The hot tub was lovely and relaxing ☺️. We did struggle to find the cutlery draw lol

Valerie June 2023

“Had a wonderful weeks holiday at Trefin.”

Comfortable,clean,well equipped and very tastefully decorated throughout. The hot tub was so nice to relax in giving a nice ending to the day. The area is beautiful with easy access to other parts of Anglesey. On our first evening we had a bit of a problem locking the bi-fold door. The next morning we reported it to the owners who came over and sorted it within 30 mins. They were very nice and helpful and obviously take care of their clients. Would 100% recommend and not hesitate to stay again

- Valerie, June 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback about Trefin and for your kind words about us, as your hosts. We love what we do and we love helping guests to make happy memories. We were delighted to read that Trefin was all that you needed and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner
Shilpa May 2023

“Just came back from an absolutely amazing half term holiday at this beautiful property.”

We went as a group of 6 with a dog . Property was furnished to a high end and the kitchen had absolutely everything in it . The owners Lee and DJ have really thought about everything including high quality spice blenders which I always struggle with when I go away . They are also absolutely lovely owners who just live opposite and if you have any issues just contact them and they are always happy to help . They had a bbq and invited us over for drinks and food one night which was very kind of them ! Thank you to both of you for making our stay wonderful. We would definitely recommend you and will be returning again in a flash ! I just cannot say anything negative about the place as it’s centrally located to all the Anglesey attractions . DJ gave us some recommendations and we found them very helpful . Monuts , Beaumaris Castle , Bellech Beach , Ostercatcher restaurant , Gadlys and crabbing over the jetty in Caemes Bay. It was all a dreamy holiday and cannot wait to return . The only feedback I would give if there was anything ( that’s just me being picky I think ) is there lack of a full length mirror . I mentioned it to Lee when he kindly came over in the morning to see us off . He said he would address it straight away . My honest opinion is don’t hesitate to book this property as it’s just perfect ! Happy Holidaying ! Thank you again to Lee and DJ ! We will hopefully see you soon x

- Shilpa, May 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback and we were so pleased that you enjoyed staying at Trefin. We really look forward to welcoming you back and were only sorry that we could not accommodate you August 2023 dates due to our high booking levels. All noted re the full length mirror and we shall make sure this is sorted. Looking forward to your next stay with us. Property Owner

Jonathan May 2023

“Overall a great cottage and we had a lovely break.”

The hot tub was spot on, nice & warm. Beds in the double rooms were excellent, both living spaces were comfortable & got loads of sunlight during the day, garden was secure, well kept and spacious, kitchen was well equipped and the water pressure throughout was really good. A few minor points - the back door was sticking badly & therefore difficult to open and close, the bathroom had no lock on the door, no curtains / blind in the twin room so we had to improvise & block the window with pillows so our baby didn’t wake up too early. These points wouldn’t stop us from staying again. Thanks to DJ - very friendly & helpful host!

- Jonathan, May 2023

Thank you for your very kind feedback and for the helpful pointers. We are so pleased that you had a great stay and found our beds excellent and that you enjoyed both living spaces. We look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner

Joann September 2022

“We had a lovely relaxing break at Trefin.”

Everywhere was clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you’d need. The beds were comfortable and we both slept very well. It has a big garden area which our little dog loved running around in. As our dog is only small, before we arrived we spoke to Dave the owner who was very accommodating and added a little extra to the bottom of the gates at the front so the dog couldn’t get get out, everywhere else is very secure and we had no issues. The hot tub was nice to relax in. The beaches in the little village were lovely too, and everyone we spoke to was very friendly. Dave was easily accessible throughout our stay. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our time there, and are looking to rebook.
