“Lovely big house.”

Only 2 of us so we used the downstairs bedrooms. Upstairs looked fabulous. 2 min walk to Benllach Sands. House was well equipped, warm and comfortable. Woukd definitely return. Garden although on 4 levels was lovely and our dogs loved it.

“Lovely stay the house was spotlessly clean.”

Ideally located for the beach bed was so comfortable but seating a little uncomfortable. Would be great if there were instructions for heating and microwave. But a lovely stay are looking to book again and bring the family. We really enjoyed our stay thank you.

Janet September 2024

“I chose Casita as it was close to the beach for the dog.”

The only let down was the garden being unsuitable to use, unless you are a mountain goat. The steps are far too deep and without a hand rail. We couldn’t work the microwave, but we mostly ate out so it was not a problem for us. Maybe some instructions would have solved that. Everything else that we needed was there. The downstairs bed was very comfortable. Lovely towels and large shower cubicle. Would consider returning.

Graham September 2024

“Instructions as how to set the heating and hot water controller would be useful as we did not find a satisfactory way to turn off the boiler at the end of stay.”

As mentioned by an earlier customer the driveway and pathway around the house need serious renovation. Should be considered a safety hazard

Location is ideal less than two minutes from beach (and ice cream) pubs restaurants and shops within easy walking distance Property was clean on arrival and well equipped with everything you needed Garden needs some attention and hoover did not work Otherwise excellent we are already planning booking again We dined on lobster at the Boathouse and we had drinks in the Tavern and coffee in the Shed We shopped for food in the Co-op

“On arrival at the property I noted that the drive was crumbling, loose pieces of concrete and stones, this was a hazard to my disabled wife and others renting this property.”

This could also cause damage to tyres and suspension of a car. In addition, access to the front door, from the driveway, was impeded by a large overgrown plant. Furthermore the front gate didn’t close properly. The parasol had algae, chips to plates and glasses. Suffice to say the property is not worth the £1500+ I paid. I have rented holiday homes from other companies, including Sykes, a welcome pack was always provided, however not on this occasion. I have photographs of hazards mentioned in this feedback. Very disappointed!

“Lovely place.”

Very clean and spacious. As a party of 6 (2 adults & 4 kids (16,16,10 & 9)) & 2 dogs we had ample space in the bedrooms and living area. The garden was lovely. The dogs had a great time exploring. The kitchen is a good size but could use more cutlery, cups & and crockery. We didn't want to put the dishwasher on until completely full and found we regularly had to wash up which defeats trying to save energy as we needed to heat the water! Not a big issue more an observation. The only negative to our stay was the drains outside. They are blocked and they water that washes back into the lower garden after showering is very unpleasant as it stands it becomes smelly and the dogs walk it back into the house. The location is great for walks and an easy to walk to the beach. All in all a very pleasant few days was had and we can definitely recommend.

- Jeanette, April 2024
Antony March 2024

“Just to let you know that the drain at the back of Casita is blocked which means that the area at the back floods every time someone has a bath or shower.”

Also the bath plug release mechanism isn't working. We had to use a plunger and. Knife to release it! The decking and some of the concrete in the garden can be very slippy after rain. Maybe a power wash is needed? Otherwise we had a good time and enjoyed our stay.

- Antony, March 2024
Jackie March 2024

“Great location,very close to beach and coastal walks.”

Benllech has plenty to offer for a short break. We were a party of four, the lounge is on the small side but you could reconfigure the chairs and there’s a spare armchair in the dining room for more people. Bedrooms and bathrooms are lovely, would benefit from a separate toilet upstairs. Lovely garden for the summer months and the dining room is pleasant. View of the sea in the distance.

“We didn’t find Casita quite up to the standard that I/we would have expected.”

We had to wash the crockery , cutlery before use … a bowl was actually stuck to a plate as it had not previously been washed properly!! Some of the glasses , crockery had chips and there wasn’t enough of them e.g there were only 4 wine glasses when the property sleeps 8 therefore in my mind they should have been replaced/ checked ready for the next rental. There were many cobwebs, I understand that it is an old property but these were really big cobwebs especially in the upstairs main bathroom and in the lounge. Generally the place could have been a lot cleaner. At £850 for 2 nights - this is not a cheap holiday let therefore standards should be a lot higher. The carpet in the upstairs twin room had lifted from the door strip which I actually tripped on!! The plug/plug board in the upstairs en suite double room was thick in dust!! The cottage in general is in need of a lot of care and attention.

“The bungalow was great for us, the only downside was when we all arrived it was absolutely freezing and we had 2 young children with us.”

It took a couple of days till the house was completely warm. It was very clean and well equipped with plates, cutlery, glasses and pans. Would stay again though, it was so near the beach for our Grandchildren.

- Jean, November 2023
Sue October 2023

“We had a lovely autumnal break at Casita.”

The bungalow was very comfortable and cleaned to a high standard. We had read a previous review which would have put us off if we had read it prior to booking…this negative review bore no relation to our experience, I think almost all the problems they encountered must have been fixed. There was even a small counter top freezer which was a very welcome addition. The only problem we encountered was that the shower head in the downstairs bathroom slid down the pole and had to be held by tape; I think this would be simple to fix. We did several fairly local walks, Bull Bay to Porth Wen, round to Traeth Coch, along the cliffs at Moelfre and the beach at Rhosneigr but the weather closed in on the last day and we drove home through Storm Babet. We would loved our stay and would thoroughly recommend Casita

- Sue, October 2023
Christopher August 2023

“Despite the fantastic location and potential of the house, we were left really disappointed by our stay at Casita.”

Our holiday did not have the most auspicious start - as we arrived we received an email to say the dishwasher was out of action and we could see the outside bin was overflowing with unbagged rubbish, cardboard and broken glass. When we got inside the first thing we saw was the pedal to the indoor bin sat on top of it and dry dog food on the floor and counter top! Moreover we realised that we couldn't lock the porch door which would allow easy access to the main road for our inquisitive toddler - to be fair to Menai Cottages they sent someone out quickly who set about a temporary solution for this, but sadly there was no solution for the bin other than to await it's being emptied on the Wednesday. This meant we had to store all our rubbish in the hallway as there was no alternative space or bin. The house was generally clean and tidy, although the fridge had all water at the bottom which I had to mop up several times over the course of the week. The beds were comfortable and clean, but the sofas were not sadly and this meant only two people could sit in the living room in the evening. Overall the house needs some attention - paint was literally peeling off the banisters, the downstairs shower had to be cellotaped to stay upright, the laminate flooring in the hallway is not fixed on the threshold of the dining room so continually had to be put back in place and the gripper has come away on the hallway carpet into one of the bedrooms. I tripped on this several times so would hate someone to sustain a more serious injury. The kitchen, whilst spacious is actually impractical and ill equipped. The sparse amount of cups and crockery is difficult to reach in a daft corner cupboard and a lot of it was chipped. The blind cords were impossible to reach so the blinds were pointless. There were no oven gloves so we had to buy some along with more tea towels as the one provided was not enough, especially with the dishwasher out of action all week. The frying pan was not big enough for a family of 6, all the pegs on the washing line were rotten and the knives were useless even once sharpened. All of these things, though seemingly trivial could be easily remedied by a quick visit to Wilko (maybe not) or Argos and were not up to the standard of previous cottages we have stayed in through Sykes. I really wanted to like this house, but it just failed to deliver. I feel the owners need to spend some time, money and attention on it to allow it to fulfill it's potential.

“We enjoyed our stay at the cottage .”

The location is great for the beach .The garden at the back is peaceful at the top and a sun trap but not for anyone with mobility problems.The front garden is a nice area a bench would be a nice addition .The kitchen had everything you needed all in good working order .The shower upstairs only had cold water but the downstairs one was good .Bedrooms were clean and comfortable.The WiFi worked well .The TV was small for six people to watch .The dining room is light and airy ..We had no complaints x

“We had a lovely time , but I did wash the blankets on the sofas as they smelled, bin bags and bleach would be nice to have in .”

First aid kit needs topping up and one dishwasher tablet for a week was mean . A bottle of wine was missed as we have had .wine, milk, coffee, tea, cake and flowers in other cottages we have stayed in . Beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms upstairs were modern and clean . Saying this we would come back but would have to bring the kitchen sink ie everything with us (having basics would mean a lot )

“The key was still bent and having off a piece of wire .”

. it is a great location and could be made fabulous with a bit of tlc, upstairs obviously new addition and quite modern and comfortable although downstairs quite tired. 2 next to useless settees not comfortable for an evening in TV is also super small, for the amount of people that could stay there isn't enough relaxing space/ seats. Garden is lovely to look at enjoyed the wildlife a lot however quite steep to climb and would benefit a handrail, photos on the site make the house look a lot nicer than in real life dining room wad horrible and kitchen cabinets all covered in sticky back plastic, as I said this could be a top class house if the owner spent a bit on it

- Jayne, April 2023
Wendy April 2023

“We had a lovely holiday as the cottage is much closer to the beach than it looks.”

The living room is very small and the furniture not very comfortable but we were warned about the size. The view from the top of the garden is amazing but it’s not really suitable for playing in. I don’t think the description makes it clear but there’s a downstairs shower room and upstairs a family bathroom and an en-suite shower room which is great when everyone’s been swimming. The back door key is bent and needs wiggling .

- Wendy, April 2023
Julie March 2023

“This property was near perfect for us, two adults and two small dogs.”

Beds comfy and clean. We only used the down stairs bedroom but did use the upstairs bathroom as the shower was much better than downstairs. The dogs loved the garden as we did. My only criticism would be the living room could do with updating, sofas and chairs not very comfortable, and maybe a bigger smart tv. Would we stay again ? YES ALREADY BOOKED!!!!

- Julie, March 2023
Gary March 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay in this well equipped holiday home.”

Beautifully situated, only a few minutes walk from the beach. Although the cottage itself was a little tired in some areas we are definitely thinking of booking it again.

Jonathan December 2022

“We returned to stay at Casita over Christmas, due to the number of bedrooms & bathrooms and location, & loved it.”

The house was quite cold when we arrived but once it warmed up it stayed warm, so warm that there were times when we had to turn off the heating altogether for a while. The two double bedrooms are a generous size, as are the bathrooms, but I'd be happier if the beds were larger. There is now a dishwasher & washer/drier in the kitchen, although not both being mentioned or shown in the property details & photos. The location is ideal, being around five mins walk to the beach in one direction & five'ish minutes to The Breeze Bar & Hotel, & the high street, in the other. We were really pleased with the generous Christmas gift that had been left for us, complete with wine, chutney, shortbread, top quality crackers & dog treats - thank you, very much appreciated. The property had pretty much everything that we needed but would definitely be improved by a large smart TV mounted higher up the wall, more comfortable chairs/sofas & a larger fridge with a freezer. It would also have been beneficial for us to have been provided with a tea towel & some disposable cloths for the kitchen.

- Jonathan, December 2022
Andrew November 2022

“Casita is a good spacious, bright and clean property and a 5 minute walk to the beach, the T.”

V. could do with lifting about a foot further up the wall ? also a 6pm check in really ? it was pitch black at the rear of the property to try and find the key safe never mind trying to open the safe and steps thrown in to test your ability in the dark thrown in for good measure! But despite this the property is good, very spacious and clean, for sure we will return, but please alter the check in time for the winter months and alter the TV.

- Andrew, November 2022
Colin November 2022

“Great property in a great location.”

We had such a wonderful time. Although it was November and the weather was unpredictable we really enjoyed ourselves with the beach being so close. We are already planning on returning

- Colin, November 2022
Ryan October 2022

“Cottage was great, location was the best we have stayed at, 2 minute walk to the beach.”

Garden was steep but thats something we knew about. Bedrooms slightly basic but we didnt really use them other than for sleeping in. Everything was great for the price and would 100% return in the future, thanks for a great stay.

- Ryan, October 2022
Jane September 2022

“Lovely seaside property in superb location.”

As there were only two of us with two dogs we found there was plenty of space even though it was a small lounge it was cosy and comfortable and we had a sofa each! Disappointed there was no freezer as my dog has frozen fish diet defrosted each day. Even a small counter top freezer would be ideal. We couldn’t get the tv remote to work…could be something we were doing wrong?! It wasn’t the batteries as we tried some different ones in it but still no joy. Excellent Sky internet signal at the property. It was strong and consistent. The beds were clean and comfortable and we both slept well. Lovely new bathrooms each with Mira showers in which had a good flow and hot water. Garden was steep and very overgrown in places but once up on the top lawn the views were fabulous. Prefer a 3pm check in as 6pm is a bit late for us as we like to get settled in before we go and get our evening takeaway. Despite the couple of negatives stated above we throughly enjoyed our stay at Casita….thank you.

- Jane, September 2022
Pam August 2022

“Everything was great, better than we expected.”

A facility for making ice would have been the icing on the cake. Also a mop that we could have used after the dogs came in with wet feet and a mobile clothes horse that we could put in the sun to save using the tumble dryer. We did have a blocked external drain out at the back, which the dogs discovered first! It was caused mainly by garden debris and some bits of plastic bags, not ours.

- Pam, August 2022
Carolyn June 2022

“We had a lovely stay and especially loved the garden and the fact that the beach was an easy 5 minute walk away.”

(Not too far up the hill going back) It is also a very bright property. The sofas however as mentioned in other reviews were not big enough or comfortable enough for the amount of guests that could be staying. The tv is not very large or bright and could be better situated in the room. We did not find the steps in the garden an issue but they are getting rather overgrown which may be an issue if not trimmed back soon. We would also have appreciated an ice box for some ice for our g&t’s. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. Spacious and very clean. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the two of us would stay again. We would love to bring our family if the lounge seating was addressed to make it more suitable for the 6 persons that are easily accommodated in the rest of the property

- Carolyn, June 2022
Mark June 2022

“What a lovely property.”

Very impressive throughout. Lovely kitchen with all the appliances and utensils we required. Dining room and living room both bright and airy. All 4 bedrooms had plenty of space for all. Bathrooms very clean. The garden is steep as it says in the description but the views from the top were remarkable. 2-3 minute walk to the lovely beach and access to the coastal path too. Great position for other attractions on the island which were no more than 30mins or so away. All in all, a fantastic holiday and would recommend to anyone. Thank you to the owners and Sykes for making our holiday possible.

- Mark, June 2022
Gwyneth May 2022

“Lovely, comfy property within easy reach of amenities.”

We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the outside space. Front of property could do with a face lift as we didn't recognise it at first!! We knew the garden was steep and were able to access it, however it could do with a rail, especially for climbing down. The bush by the little boat seat needs a big trim as only one person could squeeze on to it to sit!! Maybe some more up to date photos of the property would be appropriate. The property could also do with a freezer, especially if staying longer than we did. However, this did not spoil our stay and we all thought we would book it again if coming back to Anglesey, and would recommend it to friends.

- Gwyneth, May 2022
Pamela April 2022

“The property was very nice, and comfy, the dogs loved the garden although a bit steep.”

A freezer would be advantageous although as we were only there for 3 days did not affect us.

Amanda March 2022

“This property has ample space.”

It was clean, and was in a great location. This property is a perfect base for a family holiday, the beach is a 5-10 minute walk away, the coastal path is on your doorstep, everything is within walking distance. The garden is pretty, but it is set on a slope, those with poor mobility may find it difficult to ‘walk to the top’ of the garden, but there is a nice patio area outside the kitchen which is ideal. I would recommend and would stay again.

- Amanda, March 2022
Sue February 2022

“NO FREEZER which is a must when we are away, this needs to be highlighted clearly Property clearly is in need of a thorough clean & general maintenance When the Duvet cover & pillowcases were removed for covid reasons, the duvets were stained as were the pillows The Television location is positioned really low down & as tall people it was a struggle to watch & the settees/chairs are so uncomfortable Dishwasher was still on & full of all the plates etc wall keycode container was broke & keys just left in door, no correspondent's from Sykes about this & where to leave the keys once we vacated great location though on the positive side would not stay again !”

- Sue, February 2022
Nicola February 2022

“We had a lovely holiday and the location of the property is excellent.”

The space in the cottage worked well for us including the outside space with 2 dogs. We struggled to find the key when we arrived as it was dark (6pm arrival time) and the lack of lighting down the side of the property proved difficult when unloading the car. It was also difficult knowing to use the back door with the front door being double locked. It would be helpful if the arrival instructions told you this. The property was not very clean and I had to clean the bathrooms before we could use them - one basin still had toothpaste on it. The kitchen equally had to be cleaned and much of the crockery and cutlery needed to be washed before use. The twin beds were also dirty on the bed frame which was really off putting. With having children and dogs it was necessary to clean the floors each day and the hoover was broken / blocked so it would not pick anything up. We used the dustpan and brush in the end. With 5 adults and 2 children the furniture in the lounge was also a little on the small side. Thankfully we still had an amazing time Thankfully this didn't

- Nicola, February 2022

Thank you very much for leaving feedback for your stay at Casita, we appreciate you taking the time to do it. We have taken on board your comments regarding lights near the keysafe, and we have amended the arrival instructions to make it clearer which door is best to enter through. I am sorry you did not get in touch with us to report any cleanliness issues during your stay as we would have sent someone straight out to address them for you. We will also make sure some more useful cleaning equipment is left out for guests use during their stay. I am very glad you enjoyed your stay in Casita, and I hope we get the chance to welcome you back again. Property Owner
Joanne February 2022

“For 2 adults and 2 dogs its was very spacious, however the living room is very small, 2 uncomfortable setees and 3 bucket seats that are really only suitable for small adults/children.”

The Garden was beautiful with amazing views of Benllech Beach, the bathroom and bedroom downstairs was great for me and the dogs. The En-Suite and Family Bathroom upstairs are new, contemporary and very clean, the 2 twin rooms are spacious with lovely views. The open fire was a luxury burning away in the evenings. Literally a 10 minute walk to the beach and a 20 minute walk to the nearest Pub. We would highly recommend this place for dog lovers but if you're going with more that 4 adults you might find the livingroom abit limited for seating. We would definately recommened this property, it's the best one we have stayed in in Benllech

Sarah December 2021

“We really enjoyed our stay at Casita over the New Year.”

The house is in a great position - it was clean, warm and has very comfy beds. The living room is a little too cosy for 6 and a small freezer would be welcome but on the whole a lovely holiday home.

- Sarah, December 2021
Jan November 2021

“Very disappointed, obviously COVID regs hadn’t been carried out, not deep cleaned, pillows not clean, duvet and protective cover stained.”

I have taken photos. Details say comfy seating for six in dining room and sitting room, two small sofas and one tub chair is not comfy for five adults, certainly not six. Downstairs shower room shower tray high. Fans in bathroom switched off, switches close to ceiling. Bathroom sink plug has no spring, downstairs bedroom window couldn’t open…. The photos shown are not as the property is now. First time we have been disappointed and we book with Sykes very frequently.

- David, October 2021
Lesley September 2021

“The property was a great location for the beach.”

However we were shocked at how tired the interior was. The living room furniture was old and uncomfortable plus a small room for 4 adults. The overall cleanliness of the place was very poor - I find it strange that we have late check ins for Covid but this place had'nt had an ordinary clean let alone a Covid clean. I think the owners need to spend some money here and it certainly does'nt warrant a 4.5 star. Very disappointed and unusual for a Sykes holiday let. I would NOT recommend staying here particularly if you are taking older family members with mobility problems.

- Lesley, September 2021
Rachel August 2021

“Great holiday home, we visited last year and picked it again this year.”

It has a dishwasher and also a washer dryer which wasn’t advertised when we booked. Great location close to beach, local supermarkets and takeaways. We paid around £300 more this year for the house than last year (August) and looking for next year it’s gone up again by a similar amount…that sadly may be the reason we don’t return.

- Rachel, August 2021
Sarah July 2021

“The house is situated on the road that leads to the beach (2 min walk) and is ideal for families and dogs.”

It has all the expectations and more. Dog treats, a fruit cake, along with milk in the fridge were an added bonus on arrival. The house is quirky with a large kitchen, one downstairs bedroom and three upstairs. There are three bathrooms; one with a bath. The steep tiered garden is kept immaculate with slate steps. lots of flowers, shrubs and a lawn at the top. The sea views are best from here, whilst sitting with a nice cuppa or a wine if it takes your fancy. We are definitely going back here.

Colette June 2021

“We had a lovely holiday.”

The accommodation was perfect, really clean, it had everything we needed and more. Excellent location, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. The area is beautiful. The wooden casing on one of the stone chipping steps in the back garden was loose and had come away, we had to be careful walking up to the top garden, apart from that the garden/patio area was brilliant. We would definitely recommend Casita and will be looking to visit again!!

- Colette, June 2021
Laura June 2021

“Well equipped kitchen .”

Bedrooms and bathroom good. Living area rather cramped for 6 adults so should be advertised for max 4 adults and 2 children. Outside appearance - front windows and porch doors need replacing- gives a shabby appearance to the property. There was a bees nest right outside one of the bedroom windows so couldn't open in case they flew in. Needs parking lines outside- on the 3 days there the public parked right outside the house leaving no parking space for us.

- Laura, June 2021
Linda May 2021

“The home was great, very spacious, great location.”

One thing I would change would be to add a washing machine - although it didn’t say there was one in the description we had assumed there would be one if your there for a week as we were you do want to wash towels and bedding. Just a thought. Didn’t spoil the holiday and initial feedback still stands great property and location.

- Linda, May 2021
Darren March 2021

“As regards the property it was as described, is in a great location (2 minutes from the beach) and we had a relaxing break.”

A couple of points for anyone booking, don't ignore the garden description. It is very steep and not for the infirm, also any small children would need supervising. However the view from the top is ace and a great place for the morning cuppa. As we were the first to stay following the relaxation of the covid rules it took the first night to warm the house up. Once warm it was easy to keep comfortable. The ensuite shower is not for tall or large people, however there is an excellent and roomy shower in the downstairs bathroom. We all found the beds comfortable and the house equipped with all we needed for the duration of our stay. The lack of wardrobe/hanging space could be an issue for anyone staying for two weeks.

- Darren, March 2021
Jonathan December 2020

“We booked to stay eleven nights over Christmas, but unfortunately this was cut short by the Welsh lock-down & we had to leave after two nights.”

.. Casita was bigger & better than the pictures portray it - now with the added benefit of a dishwasher. The location is amazing with the beach being about a five minute walk away - our dogs loved this. We could have fit two cars on the driveway but wouldn't have been able to close the gates so we left one on the road - no problem. Wi-fi was good but TV was rather small & strangely mounted quite low on the wall. Bedrooms were all a good size & the bathrooms were much larger than expected. The heating was amazing & once warm it remained so for ages. Garden was steep with no lighting, but we already knew this so it didn't cause us any issues - lovely view from the seating at the top. I'd replace the non-working Aga with a decent sized range cooker & put a large fridge/freezer where the cooker is now - everything else is cool. Thanks for letting us stay in your super cool house - everything was amazingly clean.

“No tv channels lPoor WiFi.”

Lost a day of holiday as it wasn’t clean when we arrived at 4 pm we’ were told to go away for 2 hours until cleaned .garden not suitable for 83 year old steps too steep .paths need a good power wash as slippy with moss .

- Jackie, August 2020

We are sorry to hear that you had trouble with the TV. We do wish you'd been in touch as it could be easily resolved.

“The position of the property is it’s only saving grace.”

It says parking for two cars - I don’t see how that’s possible to actually get them in Information on the property and phone numbers - we couldn’t find the book on the property for most of the holiday as it had been put under a chair seat Internet - this doesn’t work. Got someone out and it worked for a couple of hours then stopped again. We did without as not a priority on this holiday and didn’t want the hassle of waiting on the phone for ages before we got an answer and then waiting for someone to come back again Kitchen - the fridge is too small. We had to wash all the cutlery and pottery as wasn’t clean. It needs a dish washer Garden - pretty garden but not very safe for dogs or kids as the layers aren’t very clear with all the shrubbery Bathrooms were good and there were plenty Towels - we only got bath towels in our room - no hand towels

“Great house to spend the week in, great it’s so close to the beach and lovely garden to enjoy the evenings in.”

We were very lucky with the weather so not much time spent indoors. The description advertised that there was WiFi, this didn’t seem to be the case. Overall we would recommend.

“Great location and plenty of space for our family holiday.”

The bathrooms were particularly good and the beds were comfortable. The garden was slightly steeper than we anticipated but great views once up there. Would benefit from a larger fridge and a dishwasher but overall we would return to casita.

“We arrived at 3.”

15 pm there was rubbish all over the front of the property the cleaners arrived at 3.45pm they worked hard to try and clean the inside of the bungalow it was disgrace. they said they would contact someone to come and remove the rubbish. We waited 2 days then we saw rats in the rubbish so i had to go out and clean the rubbish up myself. My farther in law who is 87 said he could not cope so on the monday i had to take him all the way home and arrange someone to come and look after him. I did ring ring your office to let you know about this. We have always had a good holiday with you but this one was a disapointment we left the property cleaner than when we went in even the cleaners said it was dirty. We understand its not your fault but it spoilt our holiday. mr d etchells

“Fantastic holiday which was helped by the weather which was great and allowed us to get out and walk on the beach.”

We never went anywhere else on the island as the two dogs enjoyed the beach and so we stayed. Nice cottage in a brilliant location!

“Good location, very close to the beach.”

Well presented, especially the bathrooms. Fabulous view of Benllech beach from the top of the garden. A dishwasher would be an advantageous addition to the kitchen. There were quite a few squeaky floorboards both on the stairs and along the landing, which you had to get used to. We had lovely weather which made our break even more enjoyable.

“Fantastic location warm and cosy However the accommodation was disappointing Very steep back garden with no lighting - not ideal for dogs or infirm Decor is dated and linens and beds poor quality curtains hanging off poles, blinds broken Kitchen cupboards covered in duck tape !”

No dishwasher, Limited glasses and serving crockery Could do with a general uplift - Would struggle to give 2 stars Requested no feathers and arrived to find feather pillow in the bed

The property

Rich in tourist attractions and golden sands, Benllech is the perfect area of Anglesey to base your holiday in Wales.

Located at the centre of the bustling village is Casita; a traditional double-fronted bungalow, ideal for families or a group of friends seeking a coastal adventure.

Head on past the side terrace and into the kitchen, where you will find every appliance you could possibly need to cater for your stay.

Flick on the kettle and enjoy a cup of tea in the garden before heading inside to uncover the wonder of the dwelling.

The ground floor is also home to two wonderful social areas; a contemporary styled dining room boasting a bright and airy charm, and a snug sitting room home to a warming open fire, both perfect spots to enjoy your indoor evenings.

Reflecting a seaside theme throughout, each of the bedrooms holds its own unique charm, with a ground-floor double, a double with an en-suite shower room, and two twins, the layout of this property ensures that every member of the party has a resting spot to re-energise in between fun-filled beach days.

Choose from a ground-floor shower room or a bathroom to begin your day with a refreshing splash, before heading to the top of the multi-level garden to enjoy a freshly brewed coffee amongst stunning sea views.

Placed in the centre of Benllech, the dwelling is ideally situated for the best of the beaches, enjoy an ice cream in between indulging in one of the village’s many delightful eateries, or take a day trip to Beaumaris to uncover the local history of the area and even more attractions.

The Menai Bridge can be found within reach by car, taking you over to mainland Wales where you can roam the breath-taking lands of Snowdonia National Park by foot or even the longest zip line in the world!

Offering thrills and excitement for all ages and tastes, Casita makes a marvellous base for your trip to Wales.

Note: Whilst this property can sleep 8 people in total, the living space is quite small and we would recommend up to a maximum of 6 people. For comfort we would suggest 2 adults and 4 children or 4 adults and two children.
Note: The AGA is for display only not functioning
Note: The back garden is steep, not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
