“Great holiday home, lovely location.”

Views from the balcony over the Menai are wonderful. Home is very well equipped. Marina is a short walk away with pubs and cafe’s. Great location to easily explore Snodonia park and Anglesey. Would book again.

“A lovely property in a great location.”

Easy access to Anglesey and Snowdonia. Very quiet and peaceful, perfect for a relaxing break. We would stay here again. Good food in the pub with views across the Menai Straits, advised to book. I don't recommend the Chinese takeaway in the village.

Very comfortable holiday property, we've already booked again for next year.

Niraj October 2023

“We had a fantastic stay at this property.”

It was clean and tidy, and everything we needed (and more) was provided. The location was quiet with great views too.

Sandra June 2023

“Accommodation in beautiful setting with everything provided and we liked the fact that the living accommodation was on the First Floor to appreciate the views.”

Thoroughly enjoyed the wild life when sitting on the balcony. It was wonderful having Swellies Cafe on our doorstep and the scenery was beautiful.

- Sandra, June 2023
Catherine June 2023

“We had a lovely stay in your home, beautiful, clean and everything you needed and more.”

We were lucky with the weather so got to enjoy your lovely balcony and appreciate how quiet and peaceful it was around the property.

Helanna May 2023

“The property was perfect.”

Set in a beautiful marina with views to die for. The property has every comfort and was very well maintained. An amazing stay.

“Excellent holiday home!”

Extremely comfortable, clean and well thought out accommodation. Views of Anglesey from the lounge window and balcony. One king sized bed and two doubles. Two bedrooms on ground floor with bathroom and one bedroom in the attic, accessed via a spiral staircase, with a shower room. Beds and bed linen all good quality and there are extra blankets provided. One of the best holiday homes I’ve stayed in! The house is situated on a very private and well tended housing estate with big expanses of lawns. Cars are parked away from the properties but very close to the accommodation. A short walk to the historic port Dinorwic now a sailing marina. Beautiful views across the Menai Straits. I would highly recommend this holiday property!

- Sandra, April 2023
Catherine October 2022

“Very well equipped and clean property in a great location, ideally placed to explore both Snowdonia and Anglesey.”

The marina estate itself was very quiet and pleasant with a few local amenities close by and a large supermarket a short drive away. Small extras like the milk in the fridge, biscuits, dishwasher tablets and kitchen foil/cling film etc. went a long way to making life easier on arrival. All round a great property, would consider visiting again!

Shan August 2022

“Excellent accommodation, perfectly placed for a visit to North Wales.”

On a quiet estate even in the middle of August . Very clean and homely. Near to a good restaurant, close to a pub all in walking distance. On the edge of the costal path . Everything we wanted . Thank you

- Shan, August 2022
Rebecca July 2022

“Absolutely beautiful house, we had a brilliant time.”

Echo all other positive reviews, this is a gem of a find. The marina is so peaceful and immaculately kept. It is perfectly positioned for so many attractions and beautiful walks. The house itself has everything you could possibly need. We travelled with an 8 & 6 year old and they loved it too. We'll be back!

- Rebecca, July 2022
Dawn July 2022

“Great property, lovely location has everything needed for an enjoyable stay .”

Couldn't ask for more ...thank you

Carole May 2022

“Beautiful well equipped property in a quiet location, an ideal location for exploring North Wales and Anglesey.”

Could not fault anything.

- Carole, May 2022
Diane April 2022

“A fabulous place to stay.”

Very well equipped. A real home from home. A great welcome pack. Powerful showers. Would highly recommend. The estate is beautifully kept and quiet. A coastal walk and woods 5 mins away. The marina is picturesque. Fantastic food at the local pub 10 mins walk away. Loved the peacocks that roam the estate.

- Diane, April 2022
Ann April 2022

“Great house and excellently equipped with cooking, washing equipment and loads of cutlery etc.”

If we had wet weather a tumble dryer would have been great. House in a great location for days on the hills, easy access to supermarkets and restaurants. If walking from the house along the Coastal Path would recommend the path towards Bangor lovely forestry with views of Menai Straits. Would recommend the house, just not impressed with Sykes service

- Ann, April 2022
Christine February 2022

“Our February holiday was enhanced by staying in this warm and well planned accomodation.”

The living area on the first floor had everything we needed and it was of a high standard. The smart TV was a nice surprise. The local walks along the Straits and around the Marina are accessible from the property, and plenty of places to visit within a short drive. I would definitely recommend this property and would love to return. Many thanks to the owners.

- Christine, February 2022
Andrew October 2021

“We had a great holiday and found the property was well kept and just what we wanted.”

We are used to a shower, rather than a shower over bath (we didn't use the upstairs suite) but apart from that it was pretty much ideal. There was some noise through the walls from neighbours due to kids running up and down stairs, but it didn't reduce our enjoyment. The property is on a very nice private estate ideally placed for Anglesey, the Snowdon area and some of the LLeyn peninsular. A newer Smart TV might be useful on rainy days, but again this didn't reduce our enjoyment. We would certainly visit again and/or recommend the property to other holiday makers.

- Andrew, October 2021
Janet September 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

The property was extremely well equipped, very comfortable and was in the perfect location to explore North Wales. We would love to return one day. Only negative would be that due to rules of estate washing has to be dried indoors so visitors need to be aware of this.

- Janet, September 2021
Elizabeth August 2021

“Lovely house, well equipped.”

Gorgeous views and sunsets. Pheasants and peacocks roaming around.

- Elizabeth, August 2021
Luned July 2021

“The house was extremely clean and had great views of the Menai straights.”

It was convenient to so many places including Caernarfon, Anglesey, Bangor, Llanberis. Tesco Extra less than 5 minutes by car was great. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to cook many nights. The children appreciated the use of the body board from the cupboard when we visited the many beaches close by. We would definitely recommend this place to a family of 4-6.

- Luned, July 2021
Phoebe July 2021

“We had such a lovely stay, really great location for visiting north wales, and so quiet and peaceful at night.”

Lovely bedrooms all well kitted out as well as a really comfy living space. Would love to come back here another year and do more exploring!

- Phoebe, July 2021
Eirlys July 2021

“Lovely place in good location ideal for two couples or a family.”

The ‘mezzanine’ bedroom on the top floor is very comfortable but unfortunately the open staircase means that any noise from the floor below e.g. television or boiling the kettle is heard. The house has everything you would need, all carefully planned - plenty of crockery, glassware and cutlery. We would definitely return to this lovely spot of Wales.

- Eirlys, July 2021
Helen May 2021

“Accommodation is lovely.”

It has everything you need. Very comfortable, clean and bright. Quiet and we'll maintained housing area. You can enjoy your morning coffee outside in the sun. The balcony is ideal for the afternoon/evening sun. Great central location for exploring the area - Anglesey, Snowdonia and Lleyn Peninsular all a short distance away. The pretty little port is more of a residential area, with only a couple of places to eat or drink. (Access to the beach is a challenge) We would highly recommend staying here. (A note for the agents: a later check out would have been preferred, particularly as we had to do the bed linen and cleaning)

- Helen, May 2021
Coral October 2020

“Excellent base for exploring North Wales.”

Accommodation comfortable and extremely well equipped. Lots of good local places to eat, neighbours all friendly and helpful about describing local walks. We had a lovely holiday here.

- Coral, October 2020

Veronique October 2019

“We had a great stay in Machlud Ynys, a real home away from home with lovely touches to welcome our family.”

The cottage is very well equipped and decorated. Machlud Ynys is perfectly located to explore the area (Anglesey, Snowdonia, Conwy...), we will definitely come back with pleasure

- Veronique, October 2019
Elizabeth July 2019

“A clean. comfortable place to stay.”

Lovely views over the Menai Strait. Excellent location for Snowdonia and Anglesey. Lovely touches such as hand soap in every bathroom/kitchen, hand towels, kitchen towels etc... I brought soaps, kitchen towels etc but need'nt have done so as everything provided

- Elizabeth, July 2019
Neil May 2019

“The property was very clean, homely very modern with all facilities inc broad band though a small reception but good enough for email and Netflix.”

The housekeeper was very nice and helpful as was the owner. The view from the balcony on to the the grounds and including seeing the Menai straits was a dream. the closeness to local restaurant pub the," Guarrdian" ??, by the mainland side of the menai straits had steaks and sea food to die for and the closeness to Caenarvon, ( 5 miles ) and Anglesey even closer made it a perfect location which was mainly quite. Good value and a lovely cosy home. On longer stays one could book a ferry to Ireland from Holyhead.

A M williams Jul 2016

“Despite having rented holiday properties in several countries, we have never found one that was so well equipped and had been furnished with so much thought as Machlud Ynys.”

It was clean and comfortable and excellent in every respect. Trying hard to think of an adverse comment, the dishwasher was a bit small.

- A M williams, Jul 2016

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Machlud Ynys, it's great to hear you had a good time. It was obviously a good fit for your family

The property

Located in the Port Dinorwic Marina in Y Felinheli, Machlud Ynys is perfectly placed for enjoying both the brilliant Isle of Anglesey and the nearby Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.

This contemporary, well-equipped holiday home offers wonderful thoughtful touches that you will look forward to returning to each day. The open-plan sitting room, dining and kitchen area is situated on the first-floor.

The seating area has a large corner sofa and armchair, Smart TV with Freeview and soundbar, DVD player, Roberts radio, USB music player, books and games.

Large French windows open to the balcony that has a patio with furniture and lovely, sunset views of Anglesey and the Menai Strait.

The oval dining table seats 6. The fully-equipped kitchen houses an electric oven, gas hob, fridge / freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, 4 slice toaster and a Tassimo coffee machine. Two bedrooms are located on the ground-floor.

The first has a king-size bed, and French windows leading to a small patio area with garden furniture, whilst the second bedroom contains a double. The ground-floor bathroom has a bath and shower over, wash hand basin, heated towel rail, and a WC.

A spiral staircase leads up from the sitting room to a further snug/reading area with shower room/WC.

To the rear of the house there is a small patio area, and to the front is a small balcony, which is accessed from the sitting room, with both areas offering garden furniture.

There are parking spaces available close to the property. If you fancy exploring the local area, head to the marina where you can enjoy a morning cup of coffee at The Swellies, or delight in Spanish affair with some delicious tapas at the popular La Marina restaurant. The town of Caernarfon is just a short drive away, which has an excellent selection of shops and restaurants, and not to mention its historical 13th-century castle, or for a day out hiking, the Eryri National Park is worth a tour, brimming with must-visit beauty spots. If you'd rather spend the day relaxing at home, the balcony is a wonderful place to enjoy an evening drink whilst watching the sun set over Anglesey.
