“Loved the house.”

Second holiday feel we know the place now.

Second holiday feel we know the place now.

Beverley September 2024

“This was our second visit, we were planning a third next year, but now there is an increase of £800 (30%) to the booking price, which we feel is unjustified, we shall look elsewhere.”

There are many things that need to be done to justify the increase. 1. Cleanliness: drawers, corners, cobwebs, door tops, lamp shades etc 2. New sofa required in lounge to replace the leather one. 3. Information in folder needs updating. 4. Inadequate cleaning products, inadequate supply of toilet rolls. 5. A very unsatisfactory welcome pack. Milk and 2 packs of Welsh cakes really is an insult when one is spending upwards of £2400 to stay. 6. No washing line found. Disappointed there is no tumble dryer. We have enjoyed our stay. The house is in a beautiful position with excellent views across the Cymyran Strait. The above points definitely need to be addressed to justify the increase in price.

Ruth September 2024

“The house was perfect!”

Comfortable, stylish, well equipped and very clean. Disabled access was excellent (a grab rail in the shower would be helpful). And the location - wow!!! We had a lovely, peaceful, relaxing week and will definitely be back next year!

“A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

We had a lovely time and thoroughly enjoyed the free air shows from RAF Valley.

Stayed here in 2023 could not fault the cleanliness however a few minor things this time cutlery drawers were disgusting (hairs, old grilled bits of cheese geberally all the cooking utensils were gross needs to be checked regularly) I had to clean everything have pictures if needed I left it absolutely spotless

“Loved the location although shocking instructions on finding the place.”

Really missed an automatic dryer in these days an age. Also no instructions on how to use the washing machine .

- Susan, May 2024
Monique May 2024

“Fabulous cottage in a brilliant location, the only thing letting it down was the housekeeping.”

So much dust, and grime. We had to clean the toilet in the ensuite too before we could settle in. With better cleaners, we would return as its such a great place, but not as it is presently.

- Monique, May 2024
Sarah May 2024

“What a beautiful place.”

Arrived early evening with a stunning sunset to great us. Great location overlooking to Holy Island with access down to the beach to take the dogs but check the tide. Easy access to Valley for amenities but still felt secluded and private. Enjoyed the daily airshow from RAF Valley with a variety of jets and planes flying over during the day. Beds very comfortable. A home from home. Negative bits but being very fussy could do with a better set of frying pans and pots and cleaning in some places could have been better as some areas quite dusty. However lived it so much we have already booked for next year.

- Sarah, May 2024
Barbara January 2024

“This is the 2nd time we have holidayed here with friends and would highly recommend it.”

Such a lovely outlook changing scenary anazing what ever the weather. Good position for visiting the many places of interest on Anglesea. Look forward to coming again in the future.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

John December 2023

“This was our third visit to this beautiful property and as you would expect we love the place.”

Glanrhyd Uchaf is a fantastic homely place. Brilliantly laid out with lovely furnishings and everything you need for a quiet relaxing break. The views and scenery from the property are amazing. We even enjoy the jets passing by. Just a note for the owner. The access road is becoming quite a challenge. The track leading up to the property was flooded and up to 8 inches deep in places. Also as you come through he gate to the property our vehicles chassis hit the ground. We were driving saloon cars. Thank you.

- John, December 2023
Elizabeth December 2023

“We very much enjoyed our stay here, the property is secluded, spacious, comfortable and had everything we needed.”

Easy access to local walks, plenty of parking space, and a very handy boot room for muddy dogs. Great views out over the estuary.

- Elizabeth, December 2023
Paul October 2023

“Great holiday rental.”

Secure grounds for the dogs to run around. Very comfortable living areas and the kitchen was very well equipped. The RAF base nearby did not bother or disturb us, we enjoyed looking at the aircraft. The only negative was the dog poo that was left I n the garden and some left over food. My family and I would certainly stay again.

- Paul, October 2023
Jane October 2023

“Fabulous location, beautiful well equipped house, and RAF fly pasts as an added bonus.”

The photos don’t do the house justice - it’s much bigger than we expected. It was great to find a dog crate there and had we known we wouldn’t have taken ours. The boot room is a bonus too. Loved it. We will be back!

- Jane, October 2023
Karen October 2023

“Beautiful location in a well equipped property.”

Amazing views and the property was really comfortable and cosy. It was my second visit here. Some areas needed more cleaning as there were quite a few cobwebs and black mould on the shower mat. Think the shower room cubicle is leaking as water seemed to get onto the floor by the toilet and the extractor wasn’t working. Had a lovely visit

- Karen, October 2023
Beverley September 2023

“Perfect...”

...position, views, layout quiet..... peaceful, no traffic, no people relaxing......views across the estuary, garden perfect for dogs, walking on estuary RAF Valley... great watching the jets each morning..... grumps...... possibly look at renewing the mattresses....lumpy and dips in middle!! other than that, don't tell folk about this place because they'll all want to go!!! we've already booked our next year it was so good

- Beverley, September 2023
Andrew September 2023

“This holiday bungalow was really lovely.”

Done in a Maine style. Very comfortable furnishings and beds, excellent kitchen facilities, power shower, very private and excellent garden furniture for enjoying the view. However. the 'view' included the end of RAF Valley runway and most days trainer jets did loops over the bungalow, flew over the estuary in front of us, bump landed and took off again. this went on for a couple of hours. We are used to these jets flying low as we experience them over our own property down the LLeyn peninsula. Maybe a 'new' experience for some not used to living near an RAF base!!! However this wouldn't stop us going back.

- Andrew, September 2023

“We have stayed here 3 times now, it’s just perfect for our needs.”

A great property in a great location. The property has always been a bit on the dusty side… During this stay, I had to give it a very good hoover on our first day. And the kids feet were dirty on the night we arrived from walking on the floors in bare feet. It definitely seemed the property hadn’t been given a good clean in while. I moved the trundle beds back under the beds as these were not needed in the end, underneath was extremely dusty and there was lots of little sweets that had not been cleaned up. This wouldn’t put me off coming back, but I do think this needs addressing.

- Elizabeth, August 2023
Sophie June 2023

“Beautiful property.”

Small gripes, when you make so much money renting a property like this I would expect to see decent garden furniture, a bbq, no broken blinds in conservatory or flaky paint. The kitchen is brilliantly equipped. The house is very comfortable and welcoming. The views and access to the estuary are perfect. I hope to return

We all loved the directions that was sent as this made it super easy to find the location the property has loads of space for 8 people and 2 dogs and the gate down to the beach was just perfect the pressure of the showers was amazing the property was clean when we arrived and we left it the same way there was everything and more in the kitchen when it came to cooking we all loved our stay and are already looking on date for us to come back

- Aimee, April 2023
Margaret April 2023

“Enjoyed a wonderful family holiday at Glanrhyd Uchaf.”

The accommodation was spacious, warm and comfortable. The bungalow was also very well equipped with everything we needed. When we notified the owner that the Nespresso machine was missing, a new one was dispatched and arrived the next day. An impressive response which was very much appreciated by our coffee loving family members. It was wonderful to wake each morning to the beautiful view and we enjoyed some glorious sunsets. The property was within easy reach of many beautiful places and we were able to visit several of these. We particularly liked Trearddur Bay where we had a delicious meal at the Sea Shanty Café. Our only suggestion would be a slightly earlier arrival time of 4pm because when there are very young children in the party 5pm seems quite late .

- Margaret, April 2023
James February 2023

“Everything fine Lovely position Blessed with fine weather for February.”

Lovely sunsets. Suited our family fine. Even Tesco delivery found the house. Shame beach is more mud than sand. Might be time of year? Quite dangerous to walk on in places. House facilities as stated “ on the tin”.

- James, February 2023
Sue January 2023

“Fantastic place to stay with friends.”

A peaceful relaxing property with stunning open views. Hopefully we will be back.

- Sue, January 2023
Nicole December 2022

“We loved staying at the accommodation in Anglesey.”

It had everything we needed, the location was beautiful and the house was spot on. We will most definitely be visiting again in the future. This is the perfect place for families to come together and enjoy the space, views and surrounding areas. Thank you

- Nicole, December 2022
Richard November 2022

“What a wonderful weekend myself and my friends have just had at this wonderful holiday property.”

Really comfortable and well equipped we couldn’t of asked for anything more. We were very lucky with the weather and able to sit outside enjoying the views and birdwatching. We hope to be back next year with a dear friend that wasn’t able to make it this year.

“A beautiful home in a beautiful and peaceful setting.”

- John, October 2022
Gerry August 2022

“We have stayed in several Sykes cottages on Angelsey over the years and this was by far the best.”

The views were spectacular and we were lucky enough to be there on an RAF Valley family day so we had our own air show with Spitfire, Hurricane, parachute and Red Arrows displays - magic . The whole family loved it especially our young grandchildren. Private access to the beach was also a great benefit with the youngsters and a big garden for 2 energetic golden retrievers ensured all three generations and animals had a great holiday. We had such a great time we booked again for next year - before we left.

- Gerry, August 2022
Reginald July 2022

“Lay out suited our family of three generations very well.”

Beautiful views all round, and had a very good week. Cant think of anything bad to say!

- Reginald, July 2022
John July 2022

“Very clean and comfortable property.”

Beautiful location with breathtaking views and all the family enjoyed their stay.Bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and a good size. The access to the beach and costal path was ideal. The aircraft on manoeuvres was enjoyed by all. I would recommend as it will not disappoint.

- John, July 2022
Peter April 2022

“Excellent - facilities, space, location, everything provided that we needed - and although I don't believe you can take credit for the weather - well why not, we were very, very lucky.”

Other family members have looked at the pictures, heard of our experience etc and intend booking with you ! Thank you.

- Peter, April 2022
Charlie April 2022

“A great holiday home with lots of space for the young children to run around.”

Very clean and light with fantastic views. It was a pleasure to see the RAF valley exercises and they are not that loud as some guests make out. Already rebooked next year, see you again :-)

- Charlie, April 2022

Thank you so much for your review. We are really pleased that you appreciated and enjoyed our home as much as we do. We look forward to having you back next year Property Owner
Neil March 2022

“Thank You for a memorable weekend Just arrived back home after a long weekend at the property.”

Reading previous feedback I was slightly worried of what to expect, but to be honest I really do think some of these people stayed at a different property than ourselves..!!! Spent the weekend celebrating daughters 30th birthday and my mothers 80th so a good mix of age groups to judge the suitability. All can confirm FAULTLESS in many ways..!!!!! From the stunning views, the spacious bedrooms and facilities and your own private access to the beach. Whilst in the property you will need for nothing. From extra outdoor seating, to books, games and every item you need to cook up a meal, through to information of facilities in the area. Yes, a bit of the beaten track, but again not as bad as some make out as we had no problem with the single track road....no you dont need a 4x4 as some exaggerate. Literally 5 - 10 mins from the main A55 and about a mile from Valley, but guess what...you can't hear a thing at the weekend (cant say the same for mid week when RAF Valley starts flying Hawks at around 10:00 am, but rest assured there is a curfew at about 5:00pm Great gastro pub a very short drive away (2 miles) the White Eagle and for sure make the effort to visit. Put it his way, if you want to wake up to idyllic views and facilities that make a great weekend break then as a family we can highly recommend staying here.

“Well where do I start?”

If you like your holiday to be a relaxing and pleasant experience then maybe Glanrhyd Uchaf is not the place for you! We arrived for what we hoped would be a relaxing 50th birthday weekend, to a freezing cold property where the heating only worked at certain times of the day and cut off overnight so that every night’s sleep was uncomfortable and freezing. The owner told me to go into the boiler room with a torch to press the heating controls when it tripped out, which was really irritating and I certainly didn’t want to get out of bed at 4am to put it back on! The property was dirty, the cleaning had either not been done before we arrived, or it was done badly! Tea spillages on the work surfaces, cobwebs everywhere, dirty sticky marks all over the inside of the windows, and the door handles looked like they had never been cleaned (not ideal when covid is still around). Lampshades were broken, the curtains were hanging off in the lounge, the blind in the sunroom was broken and permanently closed which ruined the view completely. Toilet brushes covered in poo next to the toilets, totally disgusting and an infection control hazard! There were leaks from the radiators onto the parquet floor and the owner asked me to put a dish under the leak to catch the water! If you like to shower daily then take your own towels as we were only given one bath sheet and one hand towel for 4 days, which is not substantial in my opinion. The owner of the property offered to send her cleaner in on the second day but we declined, as I had already cleaned up the mess and quite frankly the cleaning was already substandard so how was there going to be any improvement? After all of this and spending 3 days on the phone to Sykes both the company and the owner have refused to offer any form of refund, which is appalling! My advice, holiday elsewhere because all this messing around ruined my birthday weekend, a total waste of our hard-earned money!

- Melanie, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback, which we always welcome, so that we can see what we are doing right and so that we can swiftly deal with any suggested improvements. We take our guest's comfort very seriously, and want our home, and it's beautiful location, to be enjoyed by all who stay there. Firstly, to address the heating. When I spoke to you on your arrival, I explained and apologised sincerely that the heating timing clock had unfortunately been changed so that the heating had only just come on when you arrived. I talked you through how to press the button on the illuminated timer clock in the cupboard in the utility room so that you could chose whether to have the heating on 24 hours/all day/twice a day etc. At the end of the call, you confirmed that the heating was on and that you were able to use the controls, and I apologised again for the inconvenience caused. I would just like to point out that our guests have differing preferences as to how long and how hot to have the heating on for, and some do not like to have the heating on full whist they sleep, or even on all day when they are not in. We leave full instructions of how to use the timer clock in the information folder in the living room, and are very happy for our guests to change the settings to suit their own needs. We have never had a complaint before that the house is cold. With regards to the broken blind in the sun room. This was actually broken by the guests from the previous week, and we only found out about this on the changeover day. As soon as we found out, Sykes called you to explain and apologise that it was not going to be possible to fix the blind before your imminent arrival. Whilst I appreciate that the broken blind did restrict your view, I think it is important to clarify that it was only 1 of the 12 window blinds in the sun room that was affected, and luckily it was on a side window facing the outbuildings. We are also very disappointed that the blind had been broken, but being a Friday afternoon when we found it, it really was impossible for us to do anything about it, other than apologise to you and let you know before you arrived. Just to confirm, this has now been repaired. With regards to your other housekeeping comments, I will of course look into all of your concerns and discuss them at once with my housekeeper. I can only apologise if some of the cleaning was not up to the high standards that both I and our guests expect. As far as I am aware, providing one bath sheet and a hand towel per guest is the norm for a three night stay. My housekeeper has confirmed that one of the hooks on the sitting room curtains had come out of one of the rings, so we will get that replaced at once. At the end of our only conversation, just after your arrival, I encouraged you to call me at any time if there were any further problems with the heating or anything else, so you can imagine our disappointment to read your review. As you rightly pointed out, we did offer for our housekeeper to come over to the property, and you also asked for a late check out, which we agreed to. In the circumstances, both Sykes and I did not feel that a refund was appropriate. Property Owner

“Very nice property, missed the sea a bit but worth it for how quiet it was.”

Read comments about drive to property was only suitable for a 4x4, not sure I agree as it was a country road suitable for most normal cars. Good dog friendly garden could do with a hose pipe to wash dogs off. Good walking from doorstep. Maybe a list of good walks would be handy. Late check in and early check out, we were also asked to clean the property (which we do anyway) on 3 occasions. When we're charged extra for the dogs and there's no cleaning equipment I find this a bit cheeky. This is not a criticism of the property but more to do with the management company. It feels like your losing a days holiday. We had a really nice break, wish we could deal directly with Menai.

“I stayed at this property with my family over the Christmas period .”

Absolutely fantastic ! We had everything we needed home from home .this property is very hard to find in the dark at this time of year I would recommend earlier check in this time of year . I would recommend will return . Thansk Louise and family

- Louise, December 2021
Helen November 2021

“Lovely, clean, modern beach house with stunning views.”

Out of the way but ideal for us with our two dogs. Little touches such as log fire being set up ready to light, dishwasher tablets and hand wash in bathrooms was much appreciated. Comfy beds and plenty space for everyone. Only downside for us was pillows were too soft so take your own if you prefer something firmer

- Helen, November 2021
Sheila October 2021

“This is the fourth time we have visited Glanrhyd Uchaf and we are booked in to go again in May so l think that speaks for itself.”

We love the house and the position by the inlet that it has. It is comfortable and even in bad weather it is a cosy place to be with beautiful views from all windows. We don't have to go far to visit places like Rhosneigr, Trearddur Bay and lots more in Anglesey. We love it.

- Sheila, October 2021
David and Meg September 2021

“We had a fabulous month only marred by 1 thing which will sadly, prevent us from returning.”

Although the single track lane is a little hairy (as, in fairness, are most) once you turn off to the right you really need to be driving a 4x4 or something similar particularly once you reach the farm track since it's really not suitable for a Mazda 6 saloon or any other vehicle with low ground clearance as it's quite overgrown so scrapes hence we only ventured out for essentials which bears testament to the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings and the cottage itself. Breath taking views and RAF Valley was a joy, we were convinced that the pilots were putting on 'fly past' displays just for us. Out thanks to the owner for sharing your property with us

- David and Meg, September 2021
M Jeremy September 2021

“The cottage itself is fabulous with stunning views, but the continual daytime roar of jet planes from the local RAF training base can get a bit irritating after a few days.”

Also, it was lucky that we did not travel to the cottage in our sports car, as this would not have been able to get down the track to the cottage. The description on the website did not mention the state of the track, and the fact that vehicles with low ground clearance would not be able to drive to the cottage without damage or getting stuck. One of the outside doors (Boot Room to Patio) would not lock due to heat expansion, thus rendering parts of the property insecure. We tried to report this but gave up afet 20 minutes hanging on the phone line. Sadly, Menai Cottages is owned by Sykes, and therefore follows the same poor policies on refunds and cancellations.

- M Jeremy, September 2021
Ann June 2021

“The windows were filthy inside and out.”

There was water left in the coffee maker and spillage marks on and down tables that made us unsure of the cleanliness due to covid, considering we couldnt go in until 5.30pm. The entering and leaving times mean that one loses a day of their holiday considering the cost of the rental. Other than that and the unhealthy decibel sound of the aircraft which we accepted and knew about. Maybe sound ear protectors should be at the property. Also people leaving the gate open on several occassions. Now that the negative side is done. The pisitives out weighed them. It was a lovely break and so nice not to have to wear masks for a week. We were fully contained with our supply of homemade meals that we took and all appliances were more than adequate. The weather was amazing and we were able to swim everyday in the private spot at the bottom of the garden. We took our own lounger matresses as it gave no indication of the accommodation having them in the literature and so glad we did as the black mould on the ones on site was really unacceptable. We have stayed at so many of your properties over the years and never had anything negative to say in the past. I think the price reflects in the disappointing expectations. Saying that nothing was ruined and we have returned home with batteries fully charged. Maybe the fact that there is a microwave at the property would be a good addition to the site description.

- Ann, June 2021

Thank you for your review, we always welcome guests feedback. Firstly, our apologies that our home was not up to the high standards of cleanliness that both you and ourselves expect. I will contact our housekeeper without delay and will address the points that you have raised. The arrival and departure times of 10am and 5pm respectively are, I believe, standard times for Menai Holidays, however I will check this. I will also ask them to add the microwave to our home description. With regards to the aircraft flying in and out of RAF Valley, whilst they can on occasion be noisy, this is the first complaint we have ever had about the planes. In our experience, there are occasional noisy jets flying over, and these are only ever on a Monday to Friday in the daytime, and never during the evenings/night or at the weekends/bank holidays. I am afraid it is something which is out of our control, and we have therefore always made a point of referencing our proximity to RAF Valley in our home description when it is advertised. Aside from these issues, we are glad that you were able to have a lovely stay in our home and that you got to enjoy the wonderful Anglesey sunshine and sea. Property Owner
Kathryn May 2021

“We absolutely loved our stay so much and the location was just perfect, we felt relaxed as soon as we arrived.”

The only two minor things I’d suggest (because we had an elderly person staying with us) would be to find a way to stick the rug down under the dining table as it sits upwards and is easy to trip over and offering a slip-free shower mat for use. But only minor things - the place was perfect and exactly what we wanted!

- Kathryn, May 2021
Helen May 2021

“Beautiful house, spectacular views from all rooms, extremely comfortable, spacious and inviting.”

Take a pair of wellies as there is a small stream to cross even at low tide. Perfect place that I would highly recommend

- Helen, May 2021

“A nice comfortable property within the most amazing location with 360 degree views.”

- John, April 2021
Steve October 2020

“Great property in a great location.”

We took 2 small dogs and the garden was large and secure so they could go out and enjoy themselves whenever they wanted. The access to the beach was great and there was a small area that was accessible apart from when the tide was high. We would take wellies next time as there was a stream even at low tide that was a little too deep to cross to get to the main expanse of sand.

- Steve, October 2020
Carol September 2020

“Well equipped accommodation, lovely to have 2 areas to spread out in, some of us sat in the conservatory and some in the main living room which gave us all a bit of space.”

Good amount of quality crockery and pots and pans. Comfy beds and the decor suited the position being nautical themed. The views were breathtaking from all windows and it was lovely to watch the tide coming in and out. We had some lovely swims from the bottom of the garden. We did have one issue with the neighbouring ‘farmer’ but I will update Sykes separately as this was not a problem with the rental property itself. Lovely holiday.

- Carol, September 2020
Julia July 2020

“We loved our week at Glanryhd Uchaf.”

The house is huge and light and the views are even better than they appear on the photos. We loved coming back after a day out walking along the coast path or visiting one of the many beaches to sit on the sofas and watch the estuary.... Curlews, Oyster Catchers and of course the Kestrel who seemed to be always hunting along the edge of the garden. We walked both ways along the coast path from the garden - lots to see in both directions. Walking south to see the amazing aircraft at RAF Valley and north to the bay near the bridge. Our dog loved the walks on the sand when the tide was out - so much space to run around and when the tide was in we used our kayaks to explore a little further. A week was not nearly enough to do all we wanted to. A huge thank you to the owners who very very kindly let us have their week after ours had to be cancelled due to covid. We were so grateful.

- Julia, July 2020
Neil July 2020

“Trying to contact you ahead of our holiday was a nightmare.”

Many a phone call on hold for an hour and still no answer. Failed to respond to emails asking question, generally not great. The house was as expected and ticked a lot of boxes. I will say though it’s a little rough around the edges and in need of a good paint job. Also a bbq is very much required at a property like this. Overall a good holiday but don’t think the house is worth the price and relies very much on the location to the beach as there is nothing else around it in walking distance.

- Neil, July 2020
Nicholas February 2020

“A return visit so knew what to expect - was a perfect family weekend away / get together.”

Only disappointment was the cleanliness of all of the bathrooms. We were very disappointed that we had to clean all of the toilets and baths before we could use them and the toilets were dirty (appeared the cleaner had just put toilet cleaner down them and not wiped them) and both baths had hairs and dirt in them.

- Nicholas, February 2020

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are so pleased that you returned to us for your family weekend away and that you had a lovely time. We sincerely apologies that the bathrooms were not up to the high standard of cleanliness that both you and we expect. The issues raised will be addressed immediately. We hope that your disappointment will not put you off visiting us again with your family and friends and enjoying all that Glanrhyd Uchaf has to offer. Property Owner

The gates leading to property are a bit stiff at 70 i struggled to open and close them not enough comfy chairs outside but beautiful place and views outstanding the cottage all one one level was great for young and old and everything you could wish for we kayak so ideal place loved it all everybody from 7yrs to 73 yrs had a brilliant time thanks

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are very pleased that you all had a brilliant time. We will of course address the issue with the gates and look into more comfortable outdoor seating. Thank you for letting us know. Property Owner
Beverley May 2019

“We all enjoyed our break as the accommodation was perfect only slightly disappointing thing was some of the cleaning was not up to a good standard but understood this to be the cleaning crew.”

Must point out that this did not spoil our break at all.

The property

Located on the wonderful isle of Anglesey in North Wales.

Glanrhyd Uchaf is a fantastic holiday house which is all on one level, so perfect for all the family.

Open planned spaces for enjoying your time together, and ample outside space for games and activities and top it all off you have a private gate which leads you to your very own beach! The open-plan space is ideal for entertaining with ample seating, Smart TV and woodburning stove creating a really inviting area for chilling out and socialising together.

The impressive fully fitted kitchen allows for the chef to create fantastic cuisine for the whole holiday party while other guests can pour themselves a glass of their favourite tipple and keep the chef company, before gathering around the large dining table and enjoying long, leisurely meals together. Guests can choose from four elegant bedrooms, a master king-size with en-suite, two further king-sizes and a twin, with the addition of a family bathroom and a shower room to complete the accommodation. Outside the gardens are perfect for children and any pets to run around in while the adults can gather on the patio and decking area and enjoy time alfresco.

The addition of a private gate to your very own beach is the icing on the cake! On the west coast of Anglesey, right on the Cymyran Strait, Glanrhyd Uchaf boasts breath-taking views across the water to Holy Island.

The Coastal Footpath passes by the house where you can take some fabulous walks and don’t forget your binoculars to spot any birds. Despite its seclusion, you are only a short drive to the nearest village of Valley, with convenience stores, a fantastic butcher and deli as well as a selection of pubs and restaurants. Popular seaside spots of Rhoscolyn and Trearddur Bay are both a short drive away, in addition to Holyhead for supermarkets.

Further exploration can be done without hassle with easy access to the A55. If you need more space for your group, or would like to return with just a few of you, why not look at the neighbouring houses Bwthyn Glanrhyd (sleeps 4) or Glanrhyd Isaf (sleeps 14).
