“Location, location, location.”

Step outside the front door and you are immediately on the sand dunes leading to the beach. The property was very clean and well appointed with all the equipment needed. The settees were very comfy as were the beds and the property is handy for the centre of Rhosneigr. We would come agai

“It's a fantastic place,our second time booking it and we would recommend it to anybody.”

Its very comfortable,I personally love the decor and the utility room is a godsend with having the dog but the main reason we book is the view and the proximity to the beach. Altogether an outstanding house.

“Sandy Bank is a lovely quirky house on the edge on the dunes.”

First up, following other reviews, you do not need to go over the dunes to get to the beach…walk to the right at the front, and you’ll eventually find the river, head left and you’ll join the beach (you can also get on to this path at the side of the golf club or go the road way and down near the surf shop) - the dunes are fun if you can manage them. It’s in a great position and a 10 minute walk from the busier centre. A map with walks marked might benefit those who aren’t familiar with the area. The spacious house is filled with art and really quirky. The view from the living room and main bedroom is great for watching sunsets and the planes at Valley. Smart TV was great for evening films. For those needing to work there’s good wifi and a desk area which looks out to the fab view - the whole creative ambience made me want to sit and write a book! Comfy bed, had great sleep and enjoyed morning coffees laid watching the amazing view and sea rolling in. Practical note the twin room is off the main bedroom up another flight of stairs. The downstairs wet room was great (our preferred shower), and laundry room with ceiling airer was really useful. Sandy Bank is a quirky fun homely place, we’d definitely return.

“Let me say that this property is in a beautiful location however is busy with beach goers and does not feel private which only bothered us slightly with the continuous comings and goings.”

The house had everything we needed and I must say the downstairs shower was amazing. We loved taking walks to the beach but it's not easy if you go over the dunes, my legs are still recovering lol. The house was very warm even at night we didn't feel cold which was a plus. The owner was easy to contact and we enjoyed our stay at Sandy bank however the house does need some updating and a bit of an extra clean as there were some questionable marks on walls and things and the plug socket for microwave did not work so we had to move things to another socket, though this did not spoil anything.if you love seeing the jets take off from the airbase this is perfect. We will definitely stay again in the future. Overall a enjoyable week.

“We loved staying in Sandy Bank .”

The view is outstanding and we had everything we needed .The parking was fine for one car but there wasn't much space if we had taken a second car.

“This was a great disappointment.”

The view was great but could have been improved by cutting the grass. However, this is about all we could say that is good about this cottage. I should like to send you some photos that demonstrate the parlous state of this property. There is severe damp in several places, with paint peeling off, and the smell of damp in the kitchen cupboards is very obvious. An attempt to cover up the tear in the flooring in the front room had been made by putting a beanbag over it. This flooring, which also covered the landing and stairs, was very harsh on the feet when going to the bathroom in the night. The steps leading to the side passage are far too steep, it was very difficult with two hip replacements to go up and down them. We were unable to decipher which of the three sets of instructions regarding recycling was relevant. In any event, there was no way either of us could carry big boxes up those steps. In order to assure you that all of this is an accurate reflection of our experience, please provide me with a means of sending you the photos of the damp and the dirty state of much of the property.

“Very nice house right on beach.”

“We loved our stay at Sandy Bank.”

So warm and comfortable, very roomy and clean. We loved watching the airplanes take off and land it was such a pleasure. The view of the beach was breath taking , again great watching the surfers from the comfort of the house. The drying room was a must to get wet coats and dog dried. The downstairs shower and toilet was a plus. We will be back later in the year. Spoiled us for staying anywhere else in Rhosneigr. Thank you

“Spent a long weekend with good friends at Sandy Banks.”

Found the whole experience excellent. The accommodation is great and geared to those with outdoor plans and if you have dogs. Downstairs wet room and wooden floors mean no fear of making things too messy ! Comfy sofas, good WiFi and tv options to watch in front of a real fire . There had been an issue with the fridge freezer which was handled really well with options offered and good communication. Kitchen warm comfortable and well equipped. Ive already looked at potential dates to return with the family. View onto dunes and Valley runway so expect to see and hear the jets in great detail!!

Rosemary September 2023

“Absolutely fantastic stay at Sandy Bank,really didn't want to leave,and would definitely rebook.”

Every thing about it I loved from the art on the wall,to the utility room with shower,a godsend with a sandy,wet spaniel. But the main attraction for me has to be the views..stunning.Would recommend 100% and can't wait to return.

“The location is fantastic easy access to beach and Rhosneigr.”

Unfortunately the property could do with a good clean, the furniture in the lounge area is filthy, obviously well used which you would expect but it’s not blue fabric but brown with dirt. The outside bench was all broken and a hazard, luckily we had our own chairs to enjoy the sunshine.

Paul August 2021

“Great holiday in a great location.”

Loved the house and facilities. Would certainly book this house again. Children loved the location, especially having WIFI for the young generation and Netflix for their favourite TV programmes in the evening. Great front of house views and sandy path to the beach. Safe location. There is also a great downstairs wet room and plenty of hot water and space for the whole family. There is a easy to use log burner adding that great evening feeling when you have been on the beach all day and the evening is cool, log burner on with a glass of Vino lol. There is central heating if you need it.

Juliet June 2021

“Great location but not a 2 min walk to beach.”

Need to go over 2 large sand dunes. Kitchen good but house fairly basic otherwise.

Nicola June 2021

“We’ve just returned from a fantastic, family, one week, holiday at Sandy Bank.”

The house itself is perfectly located on the sand dunes and the view from the front of the house of the coast is just beautiful (the chairs in the front bedroom window make a perfect spot to quietly relax). It’s a short stroll into Rhosneigr itself, with it’s ice cream, cafe’s, bistros and shops, including two surf shops. Also a very short walk across the dunes to the beach, those with mobility issues can reach the beach through town via an access ramp onto the sand. Sandy Bank was clean, cosy and comfortable, everybody slept really well. With two children in our party, we spent a lot of time on the beach body boarding and playing in the sand, so having a shower room as soon as you came in through the back door and a utility area with washing machine and suspended drying rack was pretty perfect for us, it meant the house stayed free of sand! The kitchen was well equipped and family meals around the large table were a nightly occurrence (that and competitive card games!). The living room is large, spacious and comfortable, Netflix is available on the TV so a popcorn and film night is also a possibility for tired little people worn out by the waves! The owner messaged to make sure we had everything we needed and to say she was on hand should we have any issues etc, a lovely touch (thank you) - I would definitely recommend a stay here, perfect base for exploring Rhosneigr or Anglesey itself.

- Nicola, June 2021
Lesley May 2021

“Fantastic location such beautiful views.”

We loved watching jets take off from RAF airfield . Beds comfortable and one of the bedrooms had fantastic bay window with lovely wicker chairs and table perfect for reading or just look out with a bottle wine. Shower rooms brilliant . Living room adequate but looks a little faded and unloved but we had lovely time and would probably go back for those wonderful views

- Lesley, May 2021
Linda April 2021

“Had an absolutely wonderful time at Sandy Bank.”

Felt like home from home. Comfortable, spacious and well equipped, but there were only two adults and two dogs there! Great location for visiting the island, which I have fallen in love with. Amazing view from the front of the house, with the sea over the sand dunes on the left, and RAF Valley on the right, watching the jets take off and land!! Enjoyed sitting in the small garden in the evening with a gin, watching the sunset. The jets are quite noisy, but didn’t cause any bother to us. Kitchen well stocked, and easy to use. Just needs some oven gloves! Cottage is located in the quiet end of town, so private and peaceful. Easy to walk in to the main part of the town. Nice walk down to the beach, but need to cross a shallow stream on the beach to get to the main beach. Anglesey Walking Trail just by the dunes, which takes you to a beach further along. Lots to explore! Will definitely be returning!

Terence September 2020

“Great place and a top location, we loved the views and walks.”

The house was comfortable and had most amenities we needed, the only thing we were short off was hand towels, we also ran out of wood for the log burner but Annie sent a lady round and re stocked. If you need a short break to renew the mental health this place will fit the bill. We had local fish & chips, and ate outside at the Oyster Catcher both were a treat, we will be back.

- Terence, September 2020

“Lovely house in a fantastic position.”

“Sandy Bank was just perfect, it exceeded our expectations.”

The house is beautiful and had everything we could have needed. The owner James was in touch during the holiday and made sure we were 100% happy with everything. You can walk out of the front door straight on to the sand dunes and beach, which was perfect for our dog. Rhosneigr is a lovely village with everything you could need within walking distance. We are already planning our return!

- Deborah, November 2019
Sheila August 2019

“A superb property in one of the absolute best locations we have stayed in.”

Very comfortable throughout, well equipped and very clean. The views over the beach were so relaxing even though the winds most days whipped up waves which allowed wind surfers and kite surfers to enjoy their sport every day we were there. What a tremendous sight. To walk over the dunes onto the beach and make sandcastles with the little one while our dog chased his ball was delightful. With jet planes and a helicopter on next door RAF Valley out on training every day this was a new experience for us all to watch and wonder at. We spent most of our week in Rhosneigr at the cottage but some great days were had too at Menai, Llandudno and Beaumaris. The local shops and eating places in the village all within short walk were ideal and everyone we spoke to very friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend a visit any time of year to this beautiful property and hope to return soon.

Billie August 2019

“Stunning house, immaculately presented and very clean, great amenities but the location can not be beaten!”

This house was so perfect - there were 2 families down there and we had plenty of space without getting under each other’s feet! The house had everything we needed to make for a comfortable stay and the bottle of wine on arrival was a real bonus! I would highly recommend Sandy Bank - we have used Sykes a few time’s and this was definitely the nicest place we have stayed! The views from the front of the house are just stunning and the bay windows really do make the most of it. The kids and dogs loved being so close to the beach and we thought it was great to be close enough to walk to everything but just far enough away to enjoy the peace! The owner was great too - kept in touch and gave us really clear instructions on how to find the place and settle in. There were two files full of information on the house and local area which were really useful too. Amazing house - cannot recommend enough!

- Billie, August 2019
Ralph July 2019

“We regularly stay in Wales, and this was the best cottage we've ever had.”

The proximity to the beach was a real bonus; the views were stunning and the personal touches, such as bottle of wine on arrival and courtesy call form the owner to check all was ok, were greatly appreciated. We can't wait to go back here.

“As soon as we got there and opened the door we felt at home.”

The house is just fab and the way it's layed out is great. Every room was a pleasure and loved putting the real fire on. A complementary bottle of wine and the heating on. My dogs loved the short walk onto the beach, literally 4 min, and so did the grandchildren who also settled well thanks to your trunk of games. loved seeing the planes and watching the surfers. The view from the front and bedroom windows are just amazing. James checked up on how we were and if everything was ok, which it was. I cannot fault anything and just hope I get the chance to go again . This would have been an ideal place to spend Xmas , I checked and it's booked lol. .

“Property needed a good spring clean.”

To much dust. Sleeping arrangements regarding top bedroom are not really workable as you have to pass through the main bedroom to go to the bathroom. The bunk bedroom is only for children.

“A beautiful house themed to reflect its wonderful position.”

It has a marvellous collection of paintings prints and sea faring models that adds to the integrity and charm of the property, which is clearly loved by the owners. We have already booked for next year that's our 3rd visit.

- Annette, August 2018
Hilary August 2018

“A lovely house in a great location.”

Close enough to walk to the village but in a very quiet location. The house was perfect for our family of Grandparents, parents and two young children. The children loved the sand dunes and had a great time on the beach. The house is very well equipped for self catering.

- Hilary, August 2018
Fiona August 2018

“Sandy Bank is very well set up to make having a holiday a relaxing experience, all the facilities needed were there and in good condition, all easy to use.”

Great views across the bay, fabulous sunsets and easy access to the beach. Lots of good quality comfortable furniture, nothing too fussy, so no need to worry with two small children romping around.

- Fiona, August 2018
Christine August 2018

“We absolutely loved this house , it met all our needs and more besides , the location was perfect as my grandchildren could go straight onto the beach and play all day if they so wished .”

“Sandy Bank was a wonderful place to stay.”

The whole house was perfectly clean and comfortable and equipped with everything we could possibly need, the kitchen particularly. The position on the beach was perfect, the views from the front of the house were stunning and it was close to walk to the town centre to local shops and eateries. The owner was extremely helpful regarding check in and check out. Would love to have stayed longer and will definitely be back. Thank you.

“A lovely cottage with fabulous views.”

You stepped out of the front door and were straight onto the sand dunes which led to Rhosneigr's beautiful beach. Our dogs loved it. The cottage was lovely and the kitchen very well equipped for self catering. The views were amazing, lovely sunsets and a real bonus was to be able to watch the RAF Hawks setting off from the airbase nearby. We will definitely be returning.

- Phil, April 2018

“The house was lovely.”

It provided everything a family would need. Most of all the position on the sand dunes just minutes from the gorgeous beach. The views from the master bedroom and the lounge were exceptional. The owner was most helpful and charming even leaving us a bottle of wine, which was so kind. We would definitely book this house again.

The property

This charming, three-storey end-terrace property is situated in Rhosneigr, with access to the sand dunes, beach and sea right on the doorstep.

With beautiful, uninterrupted views, and a short walk to the village's many amenities, Sandy Bank is an excellent choice for watersport enthusiasts, families and friends exploring the scenic, unspoilt island of Anglesey.

To the front of the property is a bright, spacious sitting room with sea views framed by a huge bay window.

This is a wonderful place to watch the kite surfers, relax and enjoy the warmth of the woodburning stove on blustery afternoons.

The glass writing desk is a great place to sit and write your postcards home.

The kitchen is also spacious and well-equipped for preparing picnics, or tasty meals in the evenings.

With a large dining table seating six, and an extra table for two, everyone can dine together or pore over maps of the local area to decide how to spend your holiday.

Behind the kitchen is a utility with washing machine and drying rack, so you can travel lightly without worrying about running out of clean clothes.

There is also an immaculate walk-in shower room with rainfall shower head so you can easily clean off after a day on the beach.

Upstairs is a small bunk room with adult-sized bunks stocked with vintage children's books, making it great for the kids, a double bedroom and a master bedroom with king-size bed.

Set above the sitting room, it has a matching bay window where two wicker armchairs offer the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee whilst you admire the views over the sand dunes and sea.

From the master bedroom is a second staircase to the fourth bedroom in the loft roof space, with twin beds, a writing desk and Velux windows taking in the views.

There is also a family bathroom with a roll-top bath so you can relax and unwind with a bubble bath after a dip in the sea, and a separate shower cubicle.

The centre of Rhosneigr is around 10 minutes away on foot, with local amenities, pubs and restaurants.

As it is set right on the coast, the town is perfect for watersports enthusiasts and very popular with kite surfers.

You will often see them in the sea from the property, on especially windy days.

Explore Anglesey with ease from this wonderful coastal village, a fantastic holiday hotspot for families and friends alike!
