    “After many, many years of happy and enjoyable visits to holiday properties in Anglesey, this break left us both Disappointed and Concerned – On arrival, we were greeted with a thoughtful pack of scones (nice) – and a vase of dead flowers - which may have been an indication of things to come!”

    One of the selling points of this property, especially at this time of year, is the open fire, however, after is proved somewhat smokey in use (when was the chimney last cleaned?) our thoughts went to the smoke alarms and we found to our deep concern that the upstairs alarm had been removed (and the lounge has a beamed double height ceiling with open wooden stairs to the upstairs bedroom) and the downstairs alarm stated – ‘replace unit by Jul 2013’ and would not even test!!

    One of the selling points of this property, especially at this time of year, is the open fire, however, after is proved somewhat smokey in use (when was the chimney last cleaned?) our thoughts went to the smoke alarms and we found to our deep concern that the upstairs alarm had been removed (and the lounge has a beamed double height ceiling with open wooden stairs to the upstairs bedroom) and the downstairs alarm stated – ‘replace unit by Jul 2013’ and would not even test!! Frankly this is a genuine safety issue and potentially dangerous which we registered at the time with the agent, but as we received no concerned call-back or visit to address this safety issue meant we felt we could not risk using the fire anymore. Especially, given that whilst it had a child guard it did not have a spark guard for safety either at the end of the evening. Regarding the gas hob, after cleaning the dirty burners thoroughly we finally managed to get an even small flame on the smaller three, but they were not variable, and the large ring has an uneven flame which flares to one side – this hob needs replacing, along with the oven which only works on full and we had to regularly test the heat of the ‘only meal’ we ended up risking cooking for the whole week. The dryer (although an unusual but appreciated bonus item) was also on its last legs and sounded like a cement mixer in action (probably the bearings are wearing out)? Whilst the property offers peaceful seclusion, the bedrooms are nice and there is plentiful hot water, however, some of the décor lets it down (curtains hanging off, bathroom blind broken, bedside lampshade broken, dirty rug in the lounge and a good clean throughout required) and some TLC would be suggested. Finally, the note about ensuring the gate was securely closed to stop the cows getting in was almost funny when the sliding gate latch/rusty pipe holder itself is hanging on by a thread!! J & L

The property is just a short distance from the pretty beaches at Silver Bay and Rhoscolyn and the popular gastro pub, The White Eagle, making it an ideal base for family and friends looking to explore Anglesey.

From the holiday cottage you can walk down to the entrance of the Inland Sea, where you will find carpets of wild flowers, the velvety smell of gorse, and wonderful bird life.

The kitchen is well equipped with an electric oven and gas hob, fridge / freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and all the utensils you need to enjoy cooking.

The sitting/dining room is welcoming and a lovely place to relax with a high beamed ceiling, oak floors with rugs, dining table and chairs, sofas and chairs, and a TV with DVD player.

About the location

RHOSCOLYN

Valley 2 miles; Trearddur Bay 3 miles; Holyhead 5 miles.

Located on Holy Island, three miles from Trearddur Bay, Rhoscolyn is a small village with a church and primary school and is the most southerly place on Holy Island. Rhoscolyn also offers an excellent pub on the lane down to the beach, which is renowned for its gastro food, and the beach itself with its slipway, ideal for small dinghies and power boats, is a popular family destination throughout the summer owing to the sheltered cove and gently sloping sands. Also excellent cliff-top walks can be enjoyed and an abundance of wildlife can be seen, often including seals on the headland. Just two miles away is the village of Valley, which has a Post Office, chemist, shops and eating places, plus the nearby resort of Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of the island and is truly beautiful with a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine Blue Flag sandy beaches. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, supermarkets, harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry. Watersports, bathing, sailing, windsurfing and horse riding are the main activities in the summer months, plus golfers will enjoy the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course, and the area is also a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve. An excellent location with plenty to see and do!
