“Ysbryd y Mynydd is a fantastic holiday property.”

The location is perfect for those that want to explore nature and enjoy the views. Sam has thought of everything. It is well equipped and immaculately looked after. It is very modern but still has an inviting feel about it. There are instructions regarding all appliances including heating which was very efficient. Contact with Sam was easy and straightforward. She responded to questions very quickly which is always reassuring.

“This is without question the bast place in the UK we have ever stayed.”

The property was immaculately clean, was situated in a fantastic location, and had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Just perfect for the type of holiday we wanted. There are lots of lovely walks about, several small beaches near and close to some great sightseeing locations. Plus, although you feel like you’re literally in the middle of nowhere, you’re less than a 15 minutes drive from Holyhead with every shop and amenity you could need, so forgetting something or taking everything you’ll need for your stay isn’t a problem. The property was completely clean, and although might not look it with the open spaces, really comfy and cosy of an evening. The open plan upstairs is great for small families and you’re treated to fantastic view from where ever you’re sitting. I’m really missing enjoying breakfast looking over the gorgeous scenic hills You can really tell that Sam, the host, has a passion for making peoples holiday special. Her attention to detail is brilliant, and she had just the right level of contact as to ensure your holiday and the property is okay, but nottoo much as to be overbearing. She was even so nice when our toddler caused a small breakage, only charging us for the replacement item, and not any additional breakage charged. Anglesey has become a firm favourite of mine, and although I do like staying in different properties each visit, I will struggle to not want to come back here, and will probably base my next visit to the isle around the availability of this property.

Chantelle June 2024

“An amazing holiday cottage.”

Spent a week there could have stayed longer. The place was very modern, cleanliness a 5 star and the hot tub and views were gorgeous. Thanks Sam for an experience we will remember forever!

- Chantelle, June 2024
Lonnie June 2024

“We had a fantastic time.”

The location is terrific for beautiful walks and seeing birds and the landscape. The accommodation is perfect. Sam has thought of everything. Sam takes cleaning to the next level. It's spotless. It's like nobody was in there before us! Additionally, Sam was so kind and thoughtful. I mentioned that we're vegan when she asked about the bbq so she bought us oat milk and lots of vegan goodies. Arrangements were easy. I would thoroughly recommend Sam and Menai Holidays.

- Lonnie, June 2024

Gail April 2024

“Wonderful cottage which is well maintained and comfortably furnished.”

The kitchen well equipped for our weeks stay with coffee and milk, water and some lovely biscuits supplied. Thank you for your consideration in supplying these. We asked for the Hot Tub which was fantastic and well worth the small cost. We had some great walks which we could access from the cottage, so the car was left secure at the cottage. Wonderful stay and many thanks to Sam. Wonderful cottage and would love to come back again.

- Gail, April 2024
Janet March 2024

“This is a well equipped, well designed, cosy yet modern cottage very close to South Stack lighthouse.”

Ann September 2023

“We enjoyed are stay at this property 5 years ago and the cleanliness and equipment for a trouble free holiday as not changed.”

Sam was obliging and helpful when we contacted her about our holiday. We had sunshine every day and after our trips around the Island to return to Ysbryd y Mynydd and sit outside with drinks was a pleasure.

- Ann, September 2023
Amanda August 2023

“A perfect choice for long or short stay.”

This was my second stay, I had previously stayed with my sisters for a weekend, and this time returned with my family for 6 nights. It did not disappoint, the same feeling of home from home, the same excellent standard of being welcomed before arriving and the duration. Its clear to see the owner very much cares about the guest experience, and has thought of everything possible to ensure guests have the most enjoyable stay. Thank you so much.

- Amanda, August 2023
Emma August 2023

“The property is excellent, with all the things you would need (and more) for your stay.”

The location is stunning and we had lots of lovely walks with the dog. Would recommend it to others and are looking to book another stay next year.

- Emma, August 2023
Andrew August 2023

“What a fabulous place !”

Stunning location and one of the best holiday self catering cottages we have ever stayed in. Everything you could possibly need and spotlessly clean. Well furnished and a great attention to detail has been taken to make this property work so well. I can highly recommend.

- Andrew, August 2023
Lucinda June 2023

“Ysbryd y Mynydd is a fabulous property!”

It was everything the listing said it would be and much more! The location is perfect for a relaxing get away, with sea views from the generous sized garden. The decked area was fab for al fresco dining and had lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The hot tub was a huge bonus and enabled us to wind down and feel completely relaxed. The property has been beautifully finished with attention to detail throughout. Very clean, spacious and everything you could possibly need is provided. Last but not least, the owner is the most welcoming and friendly host you could wish for. We will definitely be back next time we visit Anglesey.

- Lucinda, June 2023
Kate May 2023

“We had an amazing stay at Ysbryd y Mynydd.”

The cottage is spotless, cosy and modern. The owner is wonderful - keeping in touch making sure everything was ok before, during and after our stay. We loved the luxury of the hot tub and the views are just beautiful. Location is great for getting about but is out of the way enough for a lovely sense of getting away from it all. Hands down the best cottage we have stayed in and we will definitely be back soon!!

- Kate, May 2023
Laura May 2023

“I’ve just returned from spending the coronation weekend at Ysbryd Y Mynydd and I can’t recommend a place more.”

The property itself was spotless. Everything you could need for a weekend away was provided. The location was beautiful, so peaceful. I highly recommend a visit to the south shack lighthouse which is just a short walk from the property. The owners were wonderful. They provided an excellent instruction pack, they were kind enough to leave a few goodies for our arrival and checked in with us during our stay to ensure everything was okay. We will definitely be retuning.

- Laura, May 2023
Christine April 2023

“A beautiful cottage with everything you could wish for (apart from maybe some board games).”

Hosts were available for any problem, no matter how small but not intrusive. We had a fantastic time, thanks Sam

- Christine, April 2023
Maria March 2023

“It is a stunning property in the perfect spot.”

- Maria, March 2023
Elizabeth March 2023

“We stayed as a family of three with our dog for two nights.”

Great communication with Sam before and during our stay. Really nice house which is well equipped and furnished to a high standard. Lovely walks up to the lighthouse and cafe. Would book again.

Jane January 2023

“Outstanding property you can tell it's loved and looked after.”

Sam was lovely and thanks for the fabulous welcome pack. We have stayed in many cottages with Sykes and I have to say this was the best ever. Spotlessly clean and everything you could need. A truly wonderful place to stay and relax and rejuvenate. Once again thank so much Sam will definitely be back.

Daniel October 2022

“The property was immaculate and had everything we needed for our stay.”

The hot tub was clean and a fantastic feature after a long walk over Holyhead mountain. Sam was a brilliant host who catered to our every need. We would 100% recommend this to anyone thinking of somewhere to stay in Angelsey. We would love to return next year.

- Daniel, October 2022
Emma October 2022

“Beautiful house, lovely location near the lighthouse.”

The owner was great and really helpful.

- Emma, October 2022
Holly July 2022

“We absolutely loved our week at this property.”

It was in a perfect rural location with mountain views and was very well equipped. The garden was secure so our dog could run around safely and we all loved the hot tub and relaxing in between walks and trips to explore the local area. Sam was the perfect host and was very responsive to any questions we had. We would recommend it to anyone.

- Holly, July 2022
Rose June 2022

“We had a lovely week, the house was the best holiday home we have stayed in - it was in a perfect location, well equipped and comfortable.”

Our daughter loved the trampoline and the dog loved the garden and the walks right on the doorstep. I would 100% recommend.

- Rose, June 2022
Karen May 2022

“Our new favourite.”

In the 40 years since we married we have stayed on Anglesey at least once a year. We have stayed in every sort of cottage/ caravan and hotel. We really love Trearddur, but this has got to be our favourite. We stayed as a party of 11 in this cottage and next door for an anniversary celebration, there is literally something for everyone. We had runners, walkers, bird watchers, TV watchers and book readers....we also had some trampoliners by the end of the holiday. The cottage is comfortable clean and has literally everything you need and more. Sam, the host could not have been more helpful, she found us walks and even an Indian Takeaway that delivered. The hot tub here was pristine, and with the most amazing views. I would book to go again today, but it is incredibly popular, as soon as I see a vacancy I'll be in there. Karen

- Karen, May 2022
Val April 2022

“This lovely cottage certainly ticked all the boxes - well fitted bathrooms, comfortable beds, walk-in wardrobees, luxury kitchen and comfortable seating area, we could not fault it.”

Sam, the owner, is very friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble. If we could give this more than 5 stars we would. The setting is beautiful, just a short distance from South Stack, and there is so much to do on Anglesey that we are already planning our next visit!

- Val, April 2022
Stuart April 2022

“We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Ysbryd y Mynydd on Anglesey.”

Sam was so accommodating and the accommodation ticked every box possible, location, cleanliness, quality, comfort, you name it and it had it. Thanks for giving us a fantastic Easter week away at your beautiful house. Stuart, Nicola, Isla and Harris.

- Stuart, April 2022
Geoff March 2022

“Modern facility to our taste, very well presented and equipped.”

It was spotlessly clean, which is very important to us. A delightful place to holiday.

- Geoff, March 2022
Jon March 2022

“A really beautiful house in an idillic location superbly located for South Stack Cliffs, Holyhead Mountain and the Anglesey Coastal Path.”

The house and hot tub were really spotlessly clean and our host was fantastic, very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We would not hesitate to book a stay at Ysbryd y Mynydd again.

- Jon, March 2022
Lisa March 2022

“Probably one of the most wonderful holiday homes we've ever stayed in.”

It's super stylish and very carefully thought out. The location is second to none, with gorgouse views in every direction. South stack RSPB is just on the doorstep, and of course the lovely picturesque coastline is right there too. I had the best nights sleep I've ever had in my life in this uber comfortable house. Brilliant!. Thank you for a perfect holiday! :-)

- Lisa, March 2022
Marion March 2022

“We have just returned from our second visit to this wonderful property and it certainly didn’t disappoint.”

The location is perfect, a brilliant base for exploring the local area with plenty of walks straight from the door. There is a large, fully enclosed garden area for furry friends to run about in. The property itself is scrupulously clean, extremely well equipped and comfortable. Very comfortable bed with good quality bedding. Everything you could possibly need for a restful, comfortable holiday is here. Sam, the owner is lovely and welcoming and provided lots of useful information prior to our stay. We would not hesitate to recommend and most definitely plan to return.

- Marion, March 2022
Madalyn February 2022

“Amazing location and beautiful property, I can honestly say the best place we have ever stayed!”

We just loved it ! Thank you

- Madalyn, February 2022
Nicola February 2022

“Well, what can I say about this amazing place that hasn’t already been said?”

! The location is amazing, not too far from the town of Holyhead for shops/supplies, we got a Tesco delivery for the evening we arrived. The barn itself, is set right on the coastline surrounded by open fields, sea and mountain views, it really is breathtaking. South Stack Lighthouse and RSPB centre are literally at the end of the lane the barn is set on. The place itself is so welcoming, tea, coffee, milk, wine and cake left for our arrival were much appreciated! Sam, the owner, is just lovely, very warm and friendly, she’s done an amazing job converting the barn into a open, modern, yet cosy space. Underfloor heating throughout, comfortable beds, an en-suite to each bedroom, large comfy sofa and a kitchen with so much kit that it made cooking a very easy experience - we wanted for nothing. The hot tub of an evening was welcome after a day running around with the kids! I’d thoroughly recommend staying here, accommodation, setting and owner really are second to none…

- Nicola, February 2022
Moira January 2022

“What a fabulous property.”

Wonderful views of Holyhead Mountain and great walks straight out of the door. Everything that you could want or need in the house .The design , layout and furnishings were exceptional and it was obvious that a lot of thought had gone into the property. The Hot Tub was well worth the extra and added a special touch to the holiday. Sam the lovely owner greeted us and waved us off . We have stayed self catering on Anglesey many times but this was the best. Very highly recommended. Moira and David

Barbara November 2021

“We had a lovely break at Ysbryd y Mynydd.”

Everything was perfect. The accommodation was in a lovely location with great views, exceptionally well presented and so peaceful. Everything was catered for, "a real home from home". Will definitely recommend for nature lovers and walkers alike as there is an abundance of places to visit and enjoy. Plenty of outdoor space for our dog and for sitting outside and enjoying the views. Will definitely be returning in the future.

- Barbara, November 2021
Kiel November 2021

“We had a great time and the property was stunning.”

Everything was perfect, the views, the facilities and the cleanliness. Genuinely the nicest place we’ve stayed. We are a family of four with a big dog and there was plenty of space for us all too! We’ll certainly be back!

- Kiel, November 2021
Stephanie October 2021

“A beautiful Cottage in a fabulous location.”

The Cottage was cosy and warm despite the horrible weather and the bed was so comfy we always had a great nights sleep. It really is the best Cottage we have stayed in and we would definitely go back . Thanks for everything Sam , you really have an amazing Cottage

- Stephanie, October 2021
Stephen October 2021

“Fantastic, modern, comfortable and lovely cottage.”

We were a family if 4 adults and even though open plan upstairs the room is well organised / furnished with lots of natural light. Sam has done a great job in presenting the cottage, leaving a small hamper on arrival (really nice touch), being on hand to enhance your stay but not in your way. We paid extra for the ‘Hot Tub’ which was fantastic after a long walk to relax and unwind in. Bedrooms, bathrooms and walk in wardrobe all add to a fantastic experience / stay. Ample parking, decking area and garden all add to a fab weeks holiday. You will not be disappointed with your stay here!

- Stephen, October 2021
Margaret October 2021

The house was lovely, Sam the owner was really friendly, she was close by if we needed anything, but we didn't as everything was perfect we had a lovely welcome tray too, thanks Sam, The house was spotless, We had great weather and enjoyed sitting on the decking in the evening looking at the stars, The area is great , so many nice walks, we saw red squirrels at plas nwedd (national trust), and also at The dingle nature reserve, and we saw a seal whilst at the Country Park near the breakwater, we can't wait to return,

“Best place we've found on Sykes”

- Joshua, September 2021
Rachel August 2021

“This was our second stay at Ysbryd y Mynydd - again it was perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 children.”

It's in a very peaceful area with wonderful coastal views. The property is lovely with spacious bedrooms, there were some nice touches such a fresh pint of milk and a bottle of wine waiting in the fridge for us! As the house is in such a quiet area you do need to drive to get anywhere - but you can reach most places in Angleysey within 30 minutes drive, including the Menai Strait where a lot of the tourist attractions are. I hope we'll be back again.

- Rachel, August 2021
Karen June 2021

“One of the best holiday properties we have stayed in.”

Tastefully furnished and very well equipped. The welcome pack was a lovely added touch. Location wise, if you want a relaxing holiday with stunning views and fabulous walks this is the place to stay. Additionally the hot tub was wonderful after a long walk to chill out in and soak up the wonderful scenery. We will definitely be returning to Ysbryd Y Mynydd.

- Karen, June 2021
Marion May 2021

“We have just returned from an excellent holiday at this property.”

Communication from Sam, the owner, prior to our arrival was great. She supplied all the relevant info in an email. The cottage was super clean, not a speck of dust to be found, which was reassuring in these COVID times. We had absolutely everything we needed and all pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, bedding etc were of very good quality. The property is very comfortable and the location is wonderful. Stunning views on all sides and walks straight from the door. Our miniature schnauzer, Mollie, loved the large, properly enclosed garden and was safe to explore. We had a very relaxing break and the hot tub was an added bonus and very well maintained. We will most definitely be returning and would not hesitate to recommend.

- Marion, May 2021
Lynne May 2021

- Annette, April 2021
Vincent October 2020

“Would like to say with covid about this cottage was immaculately clean I could rest assured that everything had been checked and cleaned down.”

Sam the owner was very sweet and texted us just to say if we needed anything, just contact her. The cottage itself was one of the best we have stayed in and we’ve done quite a few, can’t recommend this property enough.

- Vincent, October 2020
Maurice October 2020

“A high spec Holiday let, beautifully presented, and a degree of cleanliness it would be hard to beat.”

It is obvious that Sam the owner has an eye for detail and a commitment to high standards. A neat enclosed garden, useful when you have a dog, great view from the property of Holyhead Mountain and only a short walk to the coastal path leading to South Stack. A good base to explore this part of Anglesey.

- Maurice, October 2020
Graham October 2020

“Owner is lovely, she looked after us very well.”

Property is modern and has a great view. We really enjoyed our stay and were very comfortable, will look forward to coming back next year.

- Graham, October 2020
Joy September 2020

“Accommodation was very clean and comfortable.”

..lovely temperature, warm but not stifling...well equipped...light and airy.Parking was easy and it felt private but not isolated as owner Sam was close by if needed. Great location especially for Breakwater Country Park.

- Joy, September 2020
Robert September 2020

“The cottage is absolutely 5 star, being very stylish, warm and having every convenience.”

Sam the owner is responsible for having created this wonderful home from home, and is a fabulous hostess. The situation of the cottage is excellent with lovely beaches and restaurants in easy striking distance. To evidence how good it is to stay there, on the Wednesday (23rd Sept) a film crew from Escape to the Country spent the day interviewing Sam about the cottage. It is that good.

- Robert, September 2020
John September 2020

“The accommodation was excellent, the only criticism we would have was we found the corner unit a bit uncomfortable, this was probably not helped because of covid & the lack of soft furnishings- cushions.”

The rest of the accommodation exceeded our expectations & the owner Sam was very helpful. We would recommend this accommodation to our friends, & would certainly use it again.

- John, September 2020
Alison August 2020

“This cottage exceeded all our expectations!”

Modern, clean and had all the equipment you would find at home. Beautiful cottage and the views are stunning. I would not hesitate to recommend Ysbryd Y Mynydd to anyone, we will definately be booking again. Thanks to Sam the owner who has done such a lovely job in making the cottage such a gem.

- Alison, August 2020

- Bruce, July 2020
Terence January 2020

“The cottage was well equipped with all we needed and even some extras we did not need such as a Washer/Dryer, the bed was very comfortable and bedding looked very new.”

Sam who was there on arrival was very helpful from first contact to leaving. The home had a few luxury touches like electric blinds that worked from remote and LED mirrors in the bathrooms,flat TV in all rooms along with sky TV in the main room,there was also free wifi throughout the home. The location was excellent miles of open land,fields and rocks could be seen from all windows. The front of the home was all glass and your view is farm land and a Mountain, there is a small road at the front with very little traffic may be busier in the summer months as it runs up to the Lighthouse. We found it very relaxing and no noise what so ever after around 7pm not even a car passing. We will be returning for another stay when we have time. Great location, Great property, Great Host.

- Terence, January 2020
Dawn December 2019

“What an amazing upside down cottage, we spent Christmas away from home first time in 30 plus years.”

On arrival stunning cottage, beautifully decorated already for Christmas spotlessly clean, everything we could need & more location beautiful. We can’t praise this cottage & location enough we really feel we hit the the jackpot, lighthouse one way beach the other both five minutes away. Sam was so welcoming & friendly nothing was to much trouble, mince pies, milk & bottle wine, perfect welcome. We have been coming to Anglesey for many years, this has to be the best five star cottage we have stayed in & we will definitely be going back. Thank you Sam.

- Dawn, December 2019
Wendy November 2019

“A truly beautiful and comfortable house in a magnificent setting.”

November is not known for it's good weather but we knew that the house would provide warmth and comfort for us to look out at the elements, whatever they decided to bring. We were there to celebrate an 85th birthday on 28th November and also remember and celebrate our friend/ Pat's husband George, who would have been 78 on the 26th November. He sadly died earlier this year and we wanted to do something special in his memory. This house ticked every box. A huge thank-you to Sam who was both attentive and discreet in equal measure, the perfect hostess.

- Wendy, November 2019
Andrew November 2019

Melanie June 2019

“Ysbryd Y Myneydd is the most fabulous holiday let.”

The build is very high spec, with great care taken to make it environmentally friendly throughout. The equipment and furnishings are of a very high standard and the views are to die for! It's very easy to get around the island from the property and it's just a short walk to South Stack lighthouse. Sam, the owner, was friendly but unobtrusive. I will definitely be recommending this let to friends and family and hope to be back myself one day. Five stars plus some! Feedback can be published anonymously, or just credited to Mel.

- Melanie, June 2019
Linda June 2019

“The Owner Sam we found overbearing even moreso than when we stayed last year hence we will not be returning !”

Every time we were out she seemed to be around the property spraying weedkiller not a good idea when you have a dog the grass was cut while we were out, sorting the bins and recycling the day before we left. The hosepipe was used for dogs water and left off the tap when we went out and was back on when we returned.The door was cracked waiting repair and she asked us to keep it closed so we were up and down letting the dog out unable to leave door open and it was very warm . We felt uncomfortable and like we were being watched luckily she did go away for a couple of days so we could relax. We go on holiday to relax and I think when you have paid your rental that the property should be in your care for the duration of your stay without feeling the owner is watching you . We left the property clean and tidy as we did last year . What a shame a beautiful place .

- Linda, June 2019
Judith May 2019

“The house and Sam, the owner were amazing.”

It's the loveliest house we have stayed in and we could have spent hours just looking out of the huge windows at the landscape if there wasn't so much to do. Everything was beautifully clean, comfortable and thoughtful. The kitchen was extremely well appointed and lovely to use. Beds very comfy and bathrooms fabulous. The setting is wonderful too, the house sits very well in the landscape.

“This cottage is in a great location with amazing views.”

It is only a 10 minute (uphill) walk up to the RSPB South Stack Nature Reserve so loads of amazing walks and sights. The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need and to a very high standard or comfort and luxury. Comfy beds, bathrooms are both ensuite and fabulous, the kitchen is brilliant with every appliance you could need. There is great WiFi, Sky Q TV package, lovely and warm and comfortable. Can't recommend it highly enough.

“Where to begin?”

? Fabulous place - modern with all equipment and appliances. Clean. Stylish furniture, soft furnishings, light fittings, paintings and "ornaments". Good quality outdoor furniture. Beds very comfortable with good quality linen and towels. Upside down house so the views (open fields out of one set of windows and Holyhead Mountain out of the other set) could be admired. Great outside spaces with large patio/balcony (3 steps up to front door); two lawns and plenty of hardstanding to park. We - myself, my elderly mother and Foxxiedog - loved everything and would definitely recommend in a flash without any hestitation.

“Lovely cottage!”

We spent a week here as a family of 4 with 2 young children. The cottage has a good open plan living space with a well stocked kitchen and two spacious en suite bedrooms. There are lovely views of Holyhead Mountain from the patio and the windows and you can just see the sea from the corner of the garden. The conversion has evidently been done to a high standard. There were also some simple touches which are frequently missed in holiday cottages - there was hand soap by every sink, quite a few dishwasher tablets were provided, a pint of milk was in the fridge ready for our arrival, free WiFi. It's a very quiet location, which is beautiful but does also mean you need to drive to get anywhere. We found you could easily reach all of Anglesey by car to explore. And you can set out on foot from the cottage to pick up the costal path and explore the RSPB reserve. Despite being right in the coast there are no beaches within walking distance of the cottage, but there are some good sandy beaches a short drive away. I'm really pleased we booked Ysbryd y Mynydd and would stay here again.
