October 2024

“An excellent comfortable detached bungalow with a nice garden at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a great location for exploring.”

Only criticism would be is that whilst you can change the temperature of the heating you cannot change the time it goes on/off. This certainly would not stop us returning though.

- Mark, October 2024

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We’re very pleased you enjoyed your stay so much. If you do return to Salty Puffin we can alter the heating schedule to better suit your daily activities. Property Owner

As welcoming as ever. Ideally situated for numerous areas of interest. We are looking forward to our next visit. Floreat. Salty Puffin.

“Salty Puffin is a fantastic holiday home.”

Everything you need is in there. The location is in a perfect place for exploring all areas. The garden is very secure for dogs.

Jane July 2024

“Lovely spacious bungalow, quite location, beds clean and comfortable, toilet not fixed down almost tipped off it.”

Towels smelt damp and musty when using after shower so I washed them before we used again. Pots and pans we used needed cleaning before use as still food on from previous guests. We needed to move a settee as dogs ball went under and the floors were really dusty and dirty . I would stay again but it does need a deep clean

- Jane, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing some issues to our attention. We have taken action to try and avoid these happening again. The toilet bolt had sheared and has been replaced with extra securing to keep it in place. The property has also been deep cleaned. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, we are reliant on guests leaving cups and utensils in a clean state. We have however, deep cleaned those items too. Property Owner

Claire June 2024

“Peaceful location , large property, extremely well equipped kitchen.”

Bed is very comfortable. Clean and comfortable. Many areas of interest close by , Benllech beach is lovely and the right hand side of beach is dog friendly. The only negative was the state of the back garden. It is secure for dogs, but grass was very long in parts with weeds, looked like it had not been cut for quite a while, weeds growing on patio area where table is. Main concern was a large holly tree where the garden was covered in VERY SHARP dead holly leaves. 2 of my dogs paws became cut and painful for him.

- Claire, June 2024

We are pleased that you liked the property and enjoyed the island. Thank you for bringing the state of the garden to our attention. This has been rectified and the holly tree will be dealt with in due course. Property Owner
Lynn May 2024

It is becoming an annual tradition as we have already booked to stay again next year.

Terence April 2024

“Salty Puffin was everything we were hoping for and a little bit more.”

It is spacious, comfortable and well furnished in quiet surroundings, which helped towards a relaxing, enjoyable break. The garden is a good size and enclosed. All the kitchen equipment was in tip-top condition and crockery, utensils, etc were there in abundance, including an oven glove. The distances quoted to pubs, shops and beach were accurate and the locals were friendly. I would happily return there.

- Terence, April 2024

Thank you for your great review. We’re very pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much and that you had everything you needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Property Owner
Kath March 2024

“The property suits our needs and is well priced for the area, hence the fact that this is our 4th visit.”

The kitchen is well equipped, with plenty of utensils and crockery. Both the lounge and bedrooms are comfortable, and the heating can be adjusted to suit individual needs which is great. Thank you for organising the lightweight duvet, and for contacting us re an item left in the bungalow. I’m sure we’ll be back again, as we love the property and Anglesey.

- Kath, March 2024
Deborah November 2023

“Our second stay at Salty Puffin .”

. thank you for having us ! Perfect for us and our dog, again he settled straightaway, lovely size garden and parking to the front.. nice quiet road, and neighbourhood. Warm and cosy and well equipped house.

- Deborah, November 2023
Cheryl September 2023

“The accomodation was good, the bed was rather hard, which meant I didn't sleep well, however my husband found the bed good and slept well.”

There was anything that you needed for a week, kitchen equipement was plentiful and the welcome pack was a thoughtful idea.

- Cheryl, September 2023
Rosemarie September 2023

“The property had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay , very well presented and homely.”

The owner had left plenty of information about the area and hostelries which we found useful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would consider staying there again.

- Rosemarie, September 2023
Gaynor September 2023

“Great Location.”

The Salty Puffin in Benllech is in a great location to explore Anglesey. While it could do with an upgrade it must be one of the most well equipped place we have stayed in. The welcome pack was especially nice and the bed was so comfortable we even slept in twice. Our Labour enjoyed exploring the secure garden which for us is a big tick and glad I had some old towels to wipe her paws when she came back in. We would recommend this bungalow to stay in and or friends stay last year another is staying later this year.

- Gaynor, September 2023
Lesley September 2023

“Lovely bungalow in a very quiet and peaceful location.”

Short walk to Benllech beach and Red Wharf Bay, the latter allows dogs. The bungalow itself is very homely and cosy with a big garden we were lucky enough to have hot sunny weather so we made full use of the garden and our border terrier loved it, the garden is fully enclosed so great for dogs. The kitchen is very well equipped with loads of crockery and cups and every gadget you could need. We had a lovely week and didn’t want to come home would highly recommend Salty Puffin. Also the Beachcomber is good for food and also Finneys Golden Fry but if you want to click and collect I would recommend ordering early in the day as time slots get full.

- Lesley, September 2023
Tiffany August 2023

“Lovely house and very enjoyable holiday.”

Very welcoming, neat and clean. Lovely garden and you can even see the sea from the front! Really enjoyed our stay here, great facilities and would definitely stay there again.

- Tiffany, August 2023
Claire August 2023

“We have loved our stay at salty puffin, this was our first time in Anglesey and it didn't disappoint.”

The bungalow was like home from home it had everything we needed, the garden was a big hit, it's such a fantastic space and safe for our dog and children. The location is perfect with shops and a beautiful beach just a 15 minute walk away. There is an ice cream parlour down the road which has so many different flavours. We will definitely be back soon.

- Claire, August 2023
Helen May 2023

“Lovely cottage with all home comforts.”

Easily accessible to Benllech - walking distance and an ideal spot for exploring the rest of Anglesey.

- Helen, May 2023
Alison May 2023

“Lovely holiday cottage,very clean and comfortable,very well set out,lovely quiet area not overlooked at the back short stroll to the breeze hill pub,minutes drive to the shops takeaways and beach,excellent,tried to book for next year but having trouble as salty puffin is very popular.”

- Alison, May 2023
Alan April 2023

“A lovely week in a cosy, well-located cottage.”

Plenty of room for the two of us plus our Springer Spaniel. Would also be fine for a family with 2 kids staying in the second bedroom. We’ve stayed in Benllech a number of times and it really makes such a great base while in Anglesey. Plenty of places to eat/drink/stock up on your doorstep, easy drive to the rest of the island plus Benllech’s own beach and coastal walks are fantastic. We’ll definitely be back again in future!

- Alan, April 2023
David April 2023

The Bungalow is not ultra modern, but has everything you need - it’s comfortable, warm, clean, has a well stocked kitchen with plenty of crockery, pans etc. The garden is secure for dogs. Thoroughly enjoyed our 3rd stay here, and will probably be back again in the future.

- Kath, January 2023

We’re delighted that you enjoyed your third stay at Salty Puffin and had everything you needed to be comfortable and warm. Property Owner
Wendy December 2022

“Lovely bungalow, we had a super time, Christmas decorations were beautiful -lovely and warm inside !”

There was a little debris outside the front of the property but i think this is being caused by the builders next door, assume this will disappear when the building work is completed shortly. Would def stay again.

- Wendy, December 2022

We’re so pleased that you had a warm and cosy Christmas and enjoyed the festive decorations. Property Owner

The house is clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The garden was brilliant and safe for our dog to wander around in. It's only a couple of mins drive from the local beach whish is amazing for morning dog walks, and there's a well stocked Tesco and Co-op nearby. We're already planning our trip back next year.

Catharine April 2022

“Lovely stay at Salty Puffin.”

Spotlessly clean, comfortable, plenty of space and well stocked with everything you would need for a short or long stay. Thank you for the welcome pack and for sharing your bungalow. Perfectly positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac, walks to the beach from your door and to explore the rest of the island only 30 mins drive to the east or north coast. Our dog settled perfectly too and love the enclosed garden. Many thanks.

- Catharine, April 2022

Thank you for your lovely comments. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your break and found everything in good order. Property Owner
Tracy April 2022

“The Salty Puffin was spotlessly clean and very spacious.”

We really appreciated the fresh milk in the fridge and tea and coffee which was provided as we were gasping for a cuppa after our long journey. I would highly recommend the Salty Puffin and will hopefully be returning there in the near future.

- Tracy, April 2022

We’re glad that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and appreciated the cleanliness and welcome pack. You can’t beat a good cuppa after along journey! Hope to see you back again soon. Property Owner
Ann April 2022

“The property was excellent.”

Amanda March 2022

“Lovely cosy bungalow, spotlessly clean and best equipped cottage we’ve stayed at.”

Only one small hitch took dog and a gap in fence at the back right of garden, watched dog carefully whilst he was out, as typical for dogs he was more interested in this area lol. But he didn’t escape. I can’t tell you how relaxed we felt there a fantastic base to see the Island from and close to all amenities. Would definitely return.

- Amanda, March 2022

Thank you for your your helpful feedback. We’re pleased you had a wonderful stay at Salty Puffin and we have addressed the gap in the fence. It will be lovely to welcome you back for another visit. Property Owner
Diane December 2021

“Lovely holiday property, very quiet and peaceful.”

It was lovely and warm and had everything you would want, and plenty of kitchen items, which was nice. Only thing missing was some washing powder, as I had to use the washer, so I had to go and buy some

- Diane, December 2021

We’re very pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We don’t provide washing powder but there are washing pods available under the sink to use the washing machine. Property Owner
Brett December 2021

“Lovely property, very spacious and well equipped on a quiet cul-de-sac Location good with a short walk into Benlech and easy access to other parts of the Island.”

Our dog loved the beach.

- Brett, December 2021
Dianne September 2021

“Salty Puffin is a lovely bungalow.”

Spacious, comfortable, well equipped and well situated for a peaceful break on the Isle of Anglesey. My hound and I loved it. It was my third visit to Anglesey and the nicest property I have stayed in thus far. Sadly, the weeks I would have liked next yar are already booked, but I hope to return in 2023.

- Dianne, September 2021
Gillian July 2021

“Very comfortable holiday home very well equipped with everything you could need.”

The beach is within easy walking distance but the way back is uphill a slight challenge for younger children. The garden is enclosed so safe for children and dogs a sun umbrella would help as it is a great lace for meals but can get very warm midday. Would definitely recommend it as a base for a holiday.

- Gillian, July 2021
Lisa July 2021

“Lovely Cottage/Bungalow just far away off the main road,Everything was spot on Lovely Big Lounge with lots of seating Decent TV with Netflix & Youtube,Kitchen very large & clean with loads of seating and seperate Fridge & Freezer Decent Bathroom with great Shower & 2 Really good Bedrooms.”

Garden was Huge with Sun all day and off rd Parking if we had 1 little little gripe was the Patio Door could sometimes be a little difficult to unlock(might have been us ☺) Overall a great week away in a lovely part of the world in a lovely cottage Walking to Benllech Beach took approx 10 mins

- Lisa, July 2021
Derek June 2021

“The cottage was in a peaceful location, everything we required was present to ensure we had a relaxing week, we would recommend the cottage.”

Perhaps the only thing to mention is the walk to the sea front is down a fairly steep hill and could be challenging for some.

- Derek, June 2021
Andrew June 2021

“Spacious bungalow with a large rear garden.”

Lucky to watch a red squirrel playing in the garden one morning. Lots to do in the area and plenty of shops and take aways in Benllech. Just a ten minute walk down to the beach and as a bonus we had good weather.

- Andrew, June 2021
Margaret May 2021

“Everything you needed was in the salty puffin we sat on garden with our meals”

- Margaret, May 2021
Pat April 2021

“As mentioned by a previous holiday visitor the back garden is higher than the house and accessed by two different step features, which could be a disadvantage to mobile limited people.”

It has the sun on it all day too. But the bungalow is superb for all facilities. The final sat nav directions are misleading. Once into Rhianfa (the main road on to the bungalow estate, you need to take first left into the cul de sac, not first right (which is a curve in the road) then left. The post code must cover the larger area. Parking in the drive is necessary as the cul de sac has a turning area in front of the bungalow. Would certainly visit again.

- Pat, April 2021
Christine September 2020

“Although we are all living in difficult times, customers need to be treated with respect and as sensible adults.”

Most people take great care when they are on holiday ,after all we have paid good money to escape a world where everyone is constantly being dictated to. This holiday provided an oasis of peace and relaxation .

- Christine, September 2020
Janice August 2020

“Poor standard of cleanliness, particularly as we could not go in until 1700 to allow extra time for cleaning.”

Cobwebs on wall and dust on bedside table in back bedroom, filthy skirting board in dining area, dirt down side of toilet. Signs of damp in back bedroom and round dining room windows. Gardens were unkempt with weeds growing out of patio and piles of dead leaves in corners of concrete area round house which didn't look as if it had been swept for some time. Branches overgrowing driveway brushed against car. Peeling paint on guttering and fascia boards. House had a general neglected look from the front. The grass was cut while we were there but didn't improve things much. The cottage was spacious and comfortable but needs a bit of tlc.

- Janice, August 2020
Paul August 2020

“Very friendly owner who is helpful and lets you get on with your holiday.”

Excellent bungalow in a very nice location at the end of the culdesac so noone goes past you on the road. Garden is big and has a nice area where you can sit by teh table in teh evenings or in the sun during the day. Overall we had a very nice two weeks and quite lucky with the sun. Very seasidey inside. Would recommend. Caution - dont feed the seagulls in the garden. Do this at your peril, as they are very bossy, especially when they have babies, so walking up the road they do tend to swoop down to frighten you off, but you do get used to it!. My advice would be to stick to going to Snowdonia, (get there before 9am) the beach if you either dont have a dog, or one that mixes with other dogs ok, as people tend to let them roam free without a lead and visit llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrngogogoch if you want to get any gifts, as gift shops on Angelsey are few and far between. The beach at Benllech is nice if you mix with others on a hot day but the shop there is pretty useless. Forget Holyhead, unless you want to experience a very old and once popular seaside town being made into a refuge for people who avoid work and spend all day drinking and visiting the sad funfair.... you have been warned!, such a shame to see so many old saeside locatiobns taken over the by sit on you backside brigade. Anyway, lovelly bungalow, best location, lovelly people, would recommend highly.

- Paul, August 2020
Kath February 2020

“Information provided about Anglesey by Sykes before visit very useful e.”

G. dog friendly beaches, walks. Property as described. Very comfortable, with plenty of space. Well equipped. Good location - within walking distance of beach, shops.

- Kath, February 2020
Michael November 2019

“The house was excellent and we enjoyed our week but we would like to draw your attention to two areas.”

For us the rear garden was not adequately described. Neither the photos or description showed the raised nature of this properly. We have a blind spaniel that is quite old and we had thought it would be nice for her to roam about the rear garden without her lead but this was not possible due to the high wall and steps. This had been a key consideration in our choice of the property. Secondly it may be appropriate to alert prospective customers about the glass doors to the lounge and kitchen which do not appear to be toughened. This did not affect us in any way but may be a concern to people with younger children if indeed they are not toughened. These comments are aimed at providing a better description of the property rather than any criticism of the comfort and overall high standard of the accommodation which are a credit to its owners. The situation at the end of the cul de sac also ensured a quiet and private stay.

- Michael, November 2019

Thank you for your feedback about your recent stay at Salty Puffin. We are glad that you enjoyed your week and found the property comfortable. I appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. I have asked for the description of the garden to be amended to point out that it is raised and accessed by four steps. I would also like to reassure yourselves and other customers that the glass doors and panels in the property are re-inforced with a specialised safety covering. Thank you for your lovely comments and constructive feedback. Property Owner

Both accommodation and the destination was top class. Couldn't be better!

- Steve, August 2019
Roy August 2019

“The property far exceeded our expectations and we wanted for nothing.”

The location was excellent. A real home from home and a far better shower than our own. We'll miss staying at the Salty Puffin. Fantastic value.

- Roy, August 2019
Debra July 2019

“Fully enclosed garden meant that it was safe for our Labrador to explore.”

Lovely sun trap too, which meant that we were able to enjoy meals alfresco. Rooms bright, clean, lovely seaside theme running throughout the property. Ideally located, close to beach, shops, pubs and restaurants. By far the best property we have stayed at in Benllech which we have visited many times. Would definitely recommend.

- Debra, July 2019
Rachel May 2019

“Just returned from a weeks holiday at the salty Puffin , the photos don’t do it justice tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and sofas loved all the seaside themed pictures and furnishings and spotlessly clean .”

The garden was lovely and well looked after safe and secure for our dog . Kitchen well equipped with almost anything you could think of . Milk in the fridge tea and coffee sachets and cake so we had something to keep us going until our online food shop arrived . Within walking distance of the shops and pubs in Benllech we had meals at the Breeze hill take a way from the Chinese and also walked to the ship inn at Red wharf bay for a meal all lovely and dog friendly . Perfect holiday thank you

- Rachel, May 2019
Lizbeth April 2019

“Overall the property was wonderful but just one comment, whilst we appreciate it was dog friendly and some dogs can be a touch whiffy, there was a rather extreme use of air fresheners and fabric sprays in the property which was quite overpowering.”

Unfortunately I suffered from some sort of allergic reaction to these which did have a bit of a negative effect on my enjoyment of the holiday. Apart from that can't fault the property for cleanliness, warm, comfort and location.

- Lizbeth, April 2019

Accommodation was exactly as advertised, very comfortable and well appointed a most enjoyable vacation - will certainly return Never did find the advertised games room or the Red Squirrel but the outside benches could do with a lick of paint, otherwise everything else was perfect Most enjoyable stay

- Alan, April 2019
Anthony March 2019

“Had a lovely week at Salty Puffin.”

The Bungalow was well equipped and had everything you need. Great location for exploring the beautiful Island of Anglesey. The resident Red Squirrel that came into the garden every morning was a highlight of our stay. Would recommend for a relaxing holiday.

- Anthony, March 2019
Andrew March 2019

“Salty Puffin is an excellent property, it's spacious, cosy, clean and the owners have thought of everything and is tastefully furnished.”

The property is in a small cul de sac which makes the location very quiet, the beach is a 15 minute walk away and the Town is well within walking distance too. A very good property and would highly recommend.

- Andrew, March 2019

- Allan, February 2019
Brian February 2019

“Salty Puffin was a fabulous little cottage, beautifully decorated and very comfortable.”

Unfortunately the toilet seat was broken when we arrived and even although we reported this it was not attended to during the the holiday. We will still use Sykes as we have found the properties of a very high standard.

- Brian, February 2019

“Good location and cozy pleasant bungalow, and thanks for the weather.”

Allison January 2019

“What a lovely bungalow clean,tidy,everything you could ask for.”

It was such a pleasure to come back to in the evenings after a day exploring the island.Benllech beach is just down the road and you can walk to Red Wharf beach will definitely recommend Salty Puffin to family and friends and will be booking another holiday there very soon.

- Allison, January 2019
Cheryl January 2019

“Loved our stay at Salty Puffin.”

The place was clean and cosy . Loved all the quirky beachy themed decor . Lovely touch leaving Bara Brith & butter. The owners had thought of everything. They even catered for the dog, blanket, bowl , doggy bags, although we had took our own. Nice spacious bungalow couldn’t fault it. The location was really close to everything too. Just off the main road in a quite cul-de-sac. Would definitely stay there again .

- Cheryl, January 2019
Brian January 2019

“On arrival first impression was disappointing.”

Footpaths front and back were very dirty. Toilet was blocked when we arrived and for the following two days and had to ring to get someone out to clear the drains..Kitchen floor was very dirty. Filter on the tumble dryer had not been cleaned out and was full of fluff and hair..Washing machine drum not been cleaned and had to redo a wash The laminate flooring in the living room was very dirty and lots of dog hair at the back of the tv unit. The corners of the living room were dirty and dusty with dead woodlouse. Overall cleaning standards very poor.

The property

This pleasant bungalow is situated on the outskirts of Benllech, in a cosy cul-de-sac, conveniently placed for access to the beach and local amenities.

Perfect for couples or a small family, this cottage has been lovingly designed throughout with pure attention to detail, creating a homely setting for some well-earned relaxation.

A small porch welcomes you inside, continuing over to a light, airy lounge which features three comfortable sofas, a warming fire and views of the secluded garden to keep you company.

Follow the lovely hallway with its seaside accessories towards the two beautiful bedrooms, both neatly styled and finished with decorative pieces.

One room faces the front of the property, whilst the second looks out over the wonderful patio area to the rear.

The family bathroom is well-appointed, and is presented as an all-white suite, housing a bath with an overhead shower.

Finally, the characterful dining area includes seating for six people, and the country cottage kitchen is ideal for preparing those home-cooked meals. With patio doors opening up to the enclosed garden, you can wander outside at your own leisure and enjoy a refreshing drink of your choice under the sun.

Benllech is a traditional seaside village with a Blue Flag beach, as well as a fine selection of cafes, bars and restaurants.

Just a couple of miles away, Red Wharf Bay is famous for its sailing community, beachfront restaurant and the popular Ship Inn, where a warm welcome is guaranteed.

Further afield, discover the town of Beaumaris with its superb castle, whilst back on the mainland, Caernarfon, Llandudno and the mountains of the Snowdonia National Park all promise a memorable adventure.

A peaceful getaway all-year-round.
