“We have had a great week here in Anglesey and what a beautiful place to stay.”

The house is well equipped with everything you could need, clean, tidy and very spacious. Plenty of room for us and our 2 furry friends. Love the view from the lounge, perfect to get up to each day. We explored the area well and discovered the amazing Newborough Forest which is just stunning and a must see. The Parys Mountain is a good visit, like a lunar landscape. Red Wharf Bay is beautiful along with the village of Cemaes which is a pretty fishing village on the coast. We also did some hiking in the mountains around the Snowdonia National Park which is always spectacular with breath taking views. Thankyou for letting us stay in your beautiful holiday home

“What a beautiful house!”

We have loved it, So well equipped and the highlight was finding the slow cooker so we could load it up in the morning and food ready when we came home later on. The house is so spacious and in a lovely position. Had 2 lovely meals at the Owain Glyndwr Pub - Sunday roast and curry night, best to book, always busy as its so reasonably priced. We found Llanddona Beach, what a gem especially for dogs. Thank you - We have a lovely time in your lovely house.

“Been brilliant, thank you.”

Loved the welcome pack & house so well equipped. The children really enjoyed the books and the games. Explored near & far. Loved Newborough beach, Red Wharf Bay. Further afield Snowdon & Zip World. Crabbing at Beaumaris a real hit.

“Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful home!”

Everything was perfect - you have thought of everything! It felt cosy and snug while we were here alone and then spacious and comfortable when the family arrived. The views and walks are outstanding! Our dog was in heaven! We at at Owain Glyndwr pub and the food is lovely and staff friendly and helpful. The house has been decorated beautifully, beds were comfortable and showers hot. What more could we want! Thank you! The house has a lovely warm, loved feeling! Hopefully we will be back again one day.

“Bethania is beautiful!”

Clean, comfortable and welcoming. The layout was perfect; cozy and peaceful for just us two and when the family arrived on Wednesday it easily accommodated us all. The owners have thought of everything! Including games, books, plenty of kitchen equipment and extra touches. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and fantastic views and walks nearby! The Owain Glyndwr pub is ten minutes away and serves lovely food and a game of pool! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home! It has a lovely feeling in the house which I’m sure is due to the care and attention that the owners have provided and the happy memories being made there. We would love to visit again and recommend Bethania highly! Thank you!

“What a lovely property Bethania is, being well presented and fully equipped.”

It provided us with the perfect family holiday home, being located in an idyllic quiet spot, not too far from some beautiful beaches and places to see.

“A really enjoyable week in your lovely house- the space and layout has served three generations of our family well.”

It is very well equipped to cater for larger groups- we couldn't have asked for more. We've been lucky with the weather most of the time, allowing us to take the boat trip around Puffin Island (we saw puffins, porpoises and gannets!), ride the Velocity zip wire at Zip World, walk to Penmon Point and numerous trips to Llanddonna beach for the dog to run around the vast expanse of sand. Thank you from us all. P.S. We have just enjoyed a lovely meal at Owain Glyndwr- definitely recommend!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so pleased that you enjoyed both the property and everything the local area has to offer. Property Owner

“It was a lovely break from the rushing around of daily life, lovely walks on the beaches and not far from the mountains, the views from the lounge over Snowdonia just great, the house was clean and very nicely laid out.”

We hope to come back next year to explore more of this lovely Island

“`No cheese grater except for a mini parmesan grater which is no use to man nor beast-unless the beast brought parmesan !”

Ok - so the house was fantastic- the quirky layout worked well for our party of 6. The furnishings were lovely, the art work was lovely. Sitting on the top terrace in the sunshine surrounded by butterflies & crickets was lovely. The views across the Menai straits into Snowdonia were magnificent. The locality is marvellous, the walks from the door great. The locals friendly- a red squirrel kindly stopped & posed for photos on a stroll to Arthur's Fort & if you get a chance to say hello to a fella with a large grey beard & a S.A. accent who regularly walks by the house with his dog then do so & if your lucky he will regale you with tales of foreign travel in search of bugs, fascinating. Castles, boat trips, beaches & walks all good. Great holiday. Envious of the owners. But you have been warned- no cheese grater. (cleaners could pay a little more attention to the shower waste traps.)

- Royston, August 2023

There was a non-parmesan cheese grater, quietly minding its own business in one of the cupboards - it's always been there, happily looking forward to its next cheesy work-out. However, in anticipation of there not being one - as per this guest's claim - another one was purchased before we came back to Bethania. So now there are three graters and all cheese-processing challenges should now be approached with confidence. That said, and to quote the review these guests left in the Visitor Book, they had a 'Fantastic stay - lovely property.....every day was a treat'. So, combining those observations with the non-cheese-processing part of this feedback, it seems the guests had a great family holiday, enjoyed the house and its position, took in the fantastic views, delighted in the activities and walks, engaged with the friendly locals, and saw a lot of wonderful Anglesey. Still, when you can't find a cheese grater..... Property Owner

“The house was perfect, very well equipped and cosy.”

The views were amazing and is well situated to explore the island. The nearest beach is only a few miles away, and there are scenic walks on the door step. In an evening, or if weather is poor there are plenty of board games to keep children and adults alike entertained. Thank you Brian and Hannah for sharing your lovely holiday home. We would certainly recommend this property and would use again

“Really lovely property.”

Great layout. Really comfortable sitting room and the bedrooms were all a good size. Views were spectacular. Would happily recommend this property. Thank you for letting us book on such short notice. We had a wonderful weekend and really didn’t want to leave.

Emily May 2023

“"Super stay in this lovely house.”

We had great weather, sunny and calm, so ideal for visiting Beaumaris, beach days and more adventure at Zip World and the mountains. The whole area is wonderful for short walks with our dog, and we had relaxing evenings sat outside or playing games in the upstairs sitting room. Thank you for a fab holiday!"

“The property is ideally situated close to the Anglesey coastal path and a short drive to Beaumaris.”

Unfortunately upon our arrival the property was filthy. The dishwasher was partly loaded containing mouldy plates, the rest of the cutlery and plates were also dirty but had been placed back into the cupboards. Cooking utensils were worn, rusty or so dirty we couldn’t safely use them. Oven was dirty, Bedding was covered in dog hair and faeces were left in the toilet and what appeared to be faeces was in the carpet. We raised our concerns upon our arrival and the management company sent round the cleaning team, who apparently had already been round that day. They were very apologetic and provided my wife with some wine and chocolates. Throughout our negative experience, communication with the management company was excellent and they were equally shocked when we provided photographic evidence. After spending approximately 4 hours cleaning we could commence our holiday at 2100hrs on the first evening. Sykes refunded us £50 from the cost of our holiday. Whilst we accepted the refund, upon reflection we believe that this was below what was reasonable given the circumstances. We did have a nice holiday, but we could not recommend this property to anybody else.

- Andrew, March 2023

As the guests state, they had a nice holiday, and enjoyed the house, and the location and Anglesey itself. That said, there were some minor cleaning issues with the property, post changeover, and the guests chose to point these out. As would be expected, the manager of the cleaning company responded very quickly and resolved all the difficulties. Obviously, there was no faeces anywhere, as is claimed. There was no mention of this to the cleaning-company manager and the claim is frankly absurd - all the bathrooms had been left in pristine condition by her cleaning team, ditto the rugs and carpets. The kitchen was where there were a small number of issues, as stated, all of which were the result of an oversight by the cleaning team and all of which were quickly and easily resolved, both to the guests' expressed satisfaction and to the cleaning company's usual high standard. Plus, some cross-over of laundry had led to a minor issue with the linen; there was no dog hair anywhere and this was confirmed to the cleaning-company manager by the guests. Overall, yes, there were some cleaning issues, but the guests' holiday was not materially affected by these and, as they said, they had a lovely time. Property Owner

“Really lovely stay with the family this week.”

Bethania is just what we wanted, and was clean and comfy with everything we could need. Fab accommodation, amazing views and walks and the dog loved it as much as we did! We will definitely be back again soon

“A lovely couple of days in this lovely house.”

Stunning views and a fantastic location. It's a beautiful cosy house and everything we needed to make our stay comfortable was here. Will definitely be back and will be recommending Bethania to family and friends

“Wow - What a treat to spend time here - The view over Menai Straits and Snowdonia is stunning.”

This is a beautiful traditional welsh stone house and we loved the location. Great to find somewhere with four big roomy bedrooms and they are so well located within the house to give everyone some privacy. Beautifully clean and well stocked in every way. I would really recommend for other groups wanting a get together in a beautiful location. We will definitely be back - (Macclesfield)

“Unfortunately we had a few problems The cleanliness of the house was not very good.”

We had to clean plates, glasses cutlery, the bathroom in master bedroom was quite dirty with cobwebs, bedroom had cobwebs and dusty too, broken toilet seat. The mattress had lots of stains! No protector! Disgusting. I couldn’t sleep on the bed and slept on the sofa! The pillows in my sons room were heavily mouldy and stained. They had been put in protectors so someone must have seen the state of the pillows. I have pictures of everything. The bedrooms downstairs No protector on double bed, bad mould on the walls Extensive mould in the twin room. This is awful considering the recent publicity regarding the effects of mould. The general upkeep of the house need updating. The sofas in the living area is heavily stained uncomfortable We paid quite a lot for the stay and it was really disappointing and distressing for us. We did speak to the owner/cleaner & Sykes about the situation who arranged for the toilet seat to be swapped and the lovely cleaners came and put protectors on the beds and cleaned. But the issues should not have happened in the 1st place. I don’t think it should be rated 4 ticks at all. I have photos of everything which I can send you.

- Denise, December 2022

There was an issue with an old pillow which had escaped scrutiny from both the owners and cleaning team. This was alerted to the owners on the Friday evening, and remedied as quickly as possible, with the manager of the cleaning company visiting the property early on Saturday. As well as replacing the pillow, she had a good look around and dealt with the other minor requirements of the guests. The guests were apologised to for the bedding issues and they went on to enjoy a lovely four-day stay. More generally, the guests' input was used after their stay, to allow cleaning routines and processes to be inspected, evaluated and improved upon. With that in mind, there have been no similar issues raised by any guests since. Property Owner

The property

Beaumaris 3.8 miles.

This quaintly renovated former chapel house, Bethania, can be found in the quaint hamlet of Glan-Yr-Afon, not far from the famed town of Beaumaris.

Bethania is a perfect choice for families or groups of friends looking to escape to the Welsh coastline because of its fantastic position, which allows guests to take in the breath-taking mountain views that surround the house and are only a short distance from Traeth Gwyn beach's white pebbles.

As you enter the home, you'll find a spacious, contemporary kitchen that's perfect for whipping up delectable feasts to enjoy in the dining room with a glass of bubbly.

A nearby snug and a second, first-floor sitting room with a mezzanine-style design, both with TVs and plush seating, ensure that there is plenty of room for your guests to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing.

If you prefer to spend your evenings outside, head to the front garden to make the most of the patio furniture and take in the stunning mountain views.

To ensure that all preferences and sleeping arrangements are catered for, retire to one of the four well-appointed bedrooms, which include a super king-size, ground-floor king-size, double, and ground-floor twin.

Two of the bedrooms are serviced by en-suite bathrooms, while the remaining two are serviced by a ground-floor shower room.

You can go for a stroll to see Bwrrd Arthur, commonly known as "Arthur's Table," a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or you can visit Penmon Point, which is the quickest way to reach Puffin Island by kayak and offers a great area to see dolphins, seals, and porpoises.

Grab your walking boots and follow the Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path, spanning across 200 kilometres of stunning coastal terrain, or if you'd prefer to bird watch and enjoy expansive views of Snowdonia's mountain range, head to Mariandyrys North Wales Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve.

Explore the bustling town of Beaumaris further out to immerse yourself in its history at the Beaumaris Castle, the Beaumaris Gaol and Court, or to try your hand at crab fishing from the renowned Beaumaris Pier.

You can enjoy a picnic there during the warmer months or select from a wide variety of independent cafés, restaurants, or pubs to treat your loved ones to a hearty dinner just a short drive from your front door in Bangor, which is home to the magnificent Penrhyn Castle and Garden.

During your time at Bethania, you won't run out of things to do.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £500.

About the location

BEAUMARIS

Menai Bridge 4 miles.

Beaumaris is a well known historic town on the Isle of Anglesey situated on the Menai Strait and overlooking the Snowdonia mountain range, making for the most stunning of sunrises. With its medieval castle (now a World Heritage site) dating back to the reign of Edward I and its Victorian pier, gaol and courthouse, it is also known as a major centre for yachting. Beaumaris is rich in history and retains much of its medieval street pattern. It’s setting, diversity of architectural styles and periods, differing scale, open spaces, varying roofs and overall quality contribute greatly to the town’s character. There is a good selection of shops, restaurants and public houses, as well as fishing opportunities and boat trips in the town, plus a golf course nearby. Along the coast is a large bay called Red Wharf Bay; its Welsh name is Traeth Coch (Red Beach) and the area is renowned for its glorious sunsets. The bay is very shallow and at low tide, almost 25 square kilometres (10 sq. mi.) of sand is uncovered providing safe bathing, perfect for wonderful family fun, fishing and miles of stunning scenic walks. Further afield is the port of Holyhead, which has regular ferry links to Dublin. Beaumaris is a good central base for touring Wales, in a beautiful location on the south coast of the picturesque Isle of Anglesey, within easy reach of the spectacular mountains of Snowdonia.
