“The noise from the house adjoining was so bad we left our holiday early.”

Very bad design. Part of riverside is shared and the next doors ceiling is over the smaller property. The bedroom is not fit for purpose. The low cieling is dangerous. I am 5ft 3 and moving without bumping my head was difficult, let alone just sitting up in bed! My husband had to sleep on the sofa as he banged his head repeatedly. The stairs are also quite precarious. On a plus point the lounge was lovely and the kitchen was well equipped.

“We had a very enjoyable stay in Riverside Cottage with our little dog.”

It had everything we needed for a short break and will definitely be back in the near future.

“Great little cottage, well-equipped and to the highest quality throughout.”

Comfy bed and settee and the table was plenty big enough for 2. The table with high chairs in the kitchen wasn't needed, and to create more room in there I would remove it. I can't really understand all the negative reviews. Some people must just go looking for faults. Someone has said that the bedroom in the eaves wouldn't suit the elderly or the infirm. Well, I'm elderly and my wife is currently wheelchair-bound, but we had no problems. Settee too low? Nonsense. The shower was perfectly fine too, and if it isn't as powerful as at home, that's probably because the water pressure is lower in the cottage. Only complaint we have is the weather. One good day out of 6, but on the upside, what lovely locals there are in the village pub! Cheers!

“Needs new outside furniture”

Julie June 2024

“Super clean and well furnished small cottage .”

Loved the sunny garden . Quite central to visits like Bodnant gardens ,Conwy . Recommend Erskine Arms for meal. National Trust - Penrhyn and Beaumaris Castle , Plas Newydd etc. Nice pub Y Cefn and cafe in village too. Such a shame about low ceiling in bedroom wouldn’t be suitable for elderly disabled but appealing nonetheless to the younger groups. My draw back would be no recycling everything goes in landfill I presume? Certainly recommend to our younger friends, this property is so quaint.

“Lovely cottage.”

Very enjoyable stay. Well positioned to travel around the island. Would definately recommend.

- Simon, June 2024

Dear Simon, Thank you so much for the top score review, I do appreciate it. I am so pleased you enjoyed Riverside Cottage as a base to explore Anglesey, and thank you for recommending for future guests. Best wishes, Richard Property Owner

“Beautiful location complementary wine and chocolates was a lovely touch .”

- Julie, June 2024

Dear Julie, Thank you for the lovely top score, I am so pleased you enjoyed the location of Riverside Cottage. Llanfechell is a very Historic Village with some very interesting places nearby such as Standing Stones and Burial Chambers. The Church in the Village is also very beautiful and dates back to the 12th Century. The Village pub being in easy walking distance is very friendly and very handy, as is the general store. Glad you enjoyed the fizz and chocs. I hope to welcome you back again very soon. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
David June 2024

“Cottage looked nice on arrival but first impressions can be deceiving !”

Arrival gifts of wine and chocolates looked nice but the chocolates were already open !so didn't touch those .Cobwebs in Room with dead spiders were not nice either ! sofa was worn out as it was like sitting on the floor and difficult to get up from.Clock on wall not working ,window on door to back garden filthy ,moving to the kitchen,enough wash up liquid for one wash ! Toaster that only worked on one side,so had to turn bread round to toast both sides .Moving upstairs ,duvet cover inside out ,zip was inside ,wonder whether it had been washed or just turned inside out ! Ceiling very low ,but we knew that ,but lower than we thought .But finally the reason we left two days early was because an unopended packet of biscuits in the kitchen cupboard had been partially eaten by MICE of which we have photographic proof !!!So in conclusion i would not recommend Riverside cottage is Anglesey to anybody unless you like your holiday shared with rodents in the cottage.

“The cottage was beautiful and everything was great.”

We met the owner who mentioned that the room over the living room was part of the house next door, so we might hear some noise. Some noise was an understatement. The family renting the house next door were so LOUD in the mornings and from around 6 pm to what we assume was bedtime at 9.30 pm. It felt like they were going to come through the ceiling. We book properties for the peace and quiet and although we read some of the reviews we didn't realise just how much of an intrusion it would be. We could hear every shower and toilet use. Although the cottage is beautifully appointed with everything needed and more, we won't be using it again. Which is a real shame because Anglesey is a beautiful place and everyone is so friendly. Perhaps there could be notices in the room next door to be mindful of the level of noise made.

- Paul, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. It is such a shame that the guests in Riverside House were inconsiderate despite there being a note to let them know they are not detached. This isn’t something that happens very often thankfully, but I will alter the note to re emphasise this point. I take all feedback very seriously and action accordingly. I am local and my contact details are in the Cottage, I would happily have had a discreet word with the other guests if you had let me know rather than let it spoil your holiday. Kind regards, Richard Property Owner

We loved it as soon as we walked through the door so cosy but very well equipped everything you needed home from home enjoyed our stay went so quick and dogs enjoyed it too

- Pauline, May 2024

Thank you Pauline for leaving such a lovely review. I’m glad you both enjoyed your stay and that the dogs did too. Best wishes, Richard Property Owner

- Karen, April 2024

Dear Karen, Thanks for your feedback I do appreciate it. The cottage has had a complete refurbishment and people have commented how lovely the sofa is, I’m sorry to read you felt it is a bit low. Glad you enjoyed the other luxury touches. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Sharon April 2024

“Had a lovely week stay at Riverside cottage it's our 2nd visit here,thanks for the welcome gift , nice to see an entrance as been added to enter the back garden now and the addition of a log burner , very clean and set in a beautiful location .”

.the only downside which we didn't encounter on our first stay back in 2019, is that the accommodation next door as a room over the living room , you could hear the occupants walking around and water running, thankfully they was gone on the Sunday, so we had a peaceful week...As you own the 2 properties wouldn't it be more suitable that the space upstairs should be turned into a larger bedroom for Riverside cottage , also when turning on the bathroom light it would set of the fire alarms , overall we enjoyed our stay...

- Sharon, April 2024

Dear Sharon, Thank you for taking the time to write a review, I am glad to see that you enjoyed your stay. It rarely happens that there is a noise issue but with any semi detached property this is always a potential issue, there is a note in the main house asking people to be courteous as your living room is below a bedroom. My contact details are in the cottage and I live locally, had you let me know the smoke detectors were activated when the bathroom light was switched on I could have sent the electrician back, he had only just replaced the alarms in order to comply with the new Welsh laws. This fault was corrected as soon as I was made aware of, thank you. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Ian March 2024

“What a lovely nice small cottage.”

Nice and clean lovely and warm when you have the log burner going. Myself and Cooper my dog had 4 nights there. Lovely beaches . The only thing was well two things. A better shower would be great and the sofa was very low and very uncomfortable. The bed was very comfortable. Apart from that Anglesey is a lovely place .

- Ian, March 2024

Dear Ian, Thank you for posting your review, I am so pleased that you and Copper enjoyed your stay. I am disappointed that you found the sofa too low and that the shower should be better, most guests find these to be fine but in view of your comments I will check them out. The sofa is quite new and so maybe it is just more modern than you are used to, the photos do show the sofa quite well. I have stayed in the cottage myself and I am over 6’ tall it wasn’t a problem. I am pleased to read that apart from that you found Anglesey to be a lovely place, I do hope you will return. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Pat March 2024

“Beautiful cottage with lots of extras”

- Pat, March 2024

Dear Pat, Thank you so much for giving Riverside Cottage such a good score, I am glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage met your expectations. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Tracy March 2024

“Lovely, little cottage, beautifully decorated and furnished, with a well equipped kitchen and a very comfortable bed.”

Spacious, bright lounge opening on to a patio garden which was plenty big enough for our two cocker spaniels, after a day of exploring Anglesey. Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Little tip, the description of the bedroom is very accurate so after banging my head we had the pillows at the bottom of the bed, worked a treat

- Tracy, March 2024

Dear Tracy, Thank you for your lovely feedback and great review. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay and that it met all your expectations. Great idea about the pillows! Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Alison February 2024

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful comfy cottage.”

Everything was provided including lovely extras such as prosecco and chocolates. We would definitely recommend this property to our friends but not if they had any mobility problems as the stairs to the bedroom are quite steep. The closeness to the friendly village pub is a bonus.

- Alison, February 2024

Dear Alison, Thank you for the lovely top score, I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Riverside Cottage. The village pub is a great bonus and so friendly, glad you enjoyed visiting it, handy shop that sells everything round the corner too. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Nicki December 2023

“Would highly recommend this place for a quiet, relaxing getaway in a lovely setting.”

Myself , my husband & 2 dogs stayed for Xmas 2023. This beautifully cosy cottage is an amazing place to stay. We made a lovely xmas dinner in the small kitchen that had absolutely everything we needed. The lounge diner had plenty of space for us & our 2 dogs to cosy up in front of the woodburner, and use the wood dining set for meals. The room is light & airy due to large french bay doors looking out to side of cottage.There is also a bar table & stools in the kitchen for breakfast. The large smeg fridge was a lovely surprise & handy for plenty of supplies. The bathroom is plenty big enough with a large shower cubicle & storage cabinet. The outside space was bigger than expected with a garden leading off the lounge, which came in very handy for our dogs & I can imagine would be a pleasant outdoor space in summer. There is also a small courtyard type space fenced off at the front door , which is handy with dogs when entering,and the convenience of your own private parking space . The bedroom has limited headroom which makes it difficult for standing in places (as stated on website) but its beautifully furnished, including a dressing table, and a large comfy bed. It was a nice touch to have the prossecco ,chocolates and firewood as a welcome pack. Even had dog bowls & towels available

- Nicki, December 2023

Dear Nicki, Thank you so much for your lovely review. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay so much. I spent a lot of time and money preparing and refurbishing the cottage and your comments make it all worthwhile, thank you. I do hope I can welcome you back again soon. Best wishes Richard Property Owner

“Lovely Cottage set in a small village, with pretty much everything needed.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

- Stephen, October 2023
Kerri October 2023

“Cute little cottage.”

Bedroom ceiling is really low, you may struggle if tall. Everything you need, tv, fridge, washing machine, iron, hairdryer. Lots of good information in the guest book. We had read before arrival that you can hear the people in the adjoining cottage walking about, you can but it didnt bother us. Pub and shop 1 minute walk away.

- Kerri, October 2023

Dear Kerri, Thanks for your lovely feedback, I’m so pleased you really enjoyed your stay. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Brian September 2023

“A lovely old cottage, equipped with first class furniture Etc.”

, warm and cozy. Old or infirm people should be aware that the bedroom has low beams and no upstairs bathroom with very steep stairs.

- Brian, September 2023

Dear Brian, Thank you for your feedback I’m glad you found the furniture first class, and well equipped. I look forward to welcoming you back again. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Andrew September 2023

“Lovely cottage.”

Spotlessly clean. Well equipped kitchen with everything that you need. Comfortable sofa and super comfortable bed. Fully enclosed patio and garden with furniture and bbq, great for our dog.

- Andrew, September 2023

Dear Andrew, Thank you for the lovely feedback and top score. I’m so pleased you enjoyed your stay, I spent a lot of time and money refurbishing the Cottage and I’m pleased you found it to your liking. Best wishes, Richard Property Owner
Julie September 2023

“Spent a weekend here.”

The cottage has lots of positives but I was put off returning as I found the stairs difficult for carrying a suitcase up and the extremely low ceiling in the bedroom made it hard to stand unless in the middle of the room. It was really low over the bed too, causing me to worry I’d bang my head when I sat up.

- Julie, September 2023

Dear Julie, Thank you for the feedback, most guests read the description prior to booking and are aware of the low ceiling in the bedroom, I’m sorry you hadn’t done this and it has resulted in negative feedback from you. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Claire August 2023

“Great property and great location!”

Lovely cottage, we would recommend to family and friends. Only one small improvement to the garden. The fence between the two cottages would be better with the gaps filled in so the dogs can’t see each other. So maybe a bamboo fence over the wood or something.

- Claire, August 2023

Dear Claire, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and for the lovely top score, very much appreciated. Comments noted thank you. Kind regards Richard Property Owner

Nice village local to some nice shore line the cottage has some issues main one is the noise from up above like a heard of elephants running around and water noise there was water that came through downstairs living room twice during the week

- Martin, July 2023

Thanks for leaving a review, pity you didn't contact me about the leak it could have been sorted. It has now been fixed. My details are in the cottage and I encourage guests to let me know if there are any issues at all as soon as possible. Property Owner
Alice June 2023

“Me and my partner had a wonderful time!”

Showed the house to our families and now they’re thinking of booking! Great location if you don’t mind driving around 30 minutes to see Anglesey and its attractions. We loved the red squirrels at Dingle Nature Reserve. Only thing we’d recommend to the landlord is to get a new TV remote as the one there sticks and is slow (even with new batteries).

- Alice, June 2023

Dear Alice, Thanks for leaving a review, I appreciate it. I will sort the remote thanks for letting me know. Regards Richard Property Owner
Sandra May 2023

“Riverside cottage is lovely, cosy and homely.”

Well equipped with everything you need. Great location for visiting around the island. Village is welcoming pub is great. Only thing we would have liked because we have a dog is a hoover or a long handled broom just to give a better clean round before we left. Would recommend the cottage and hopefully be back loved Anglesey.

- Sandra, May 2023

Dear Sandra, Thank you so much for the lovely top score, it means a lot. I bought a new hoover recently for the cottage I will make sure it is more visible for guests to find. I hope we can welcome you back in the future. Kind regards Richard Property Owner
Cathy May 2023

“We had a super 4 night stay at Riverside cottage.”

The welcome note and prosecco were a lovely touch. The cottage has recently been refurbished and eveything was fresh and clean. The downstairs was great. kitchen well-stocked with utensils and equipment. Spacious and light lounge/diner with access onto the patio. We had 2 labradors with us and really appreciated the enclosed patio and garden with outside tap for washing down when sandy from runs on the beach. There is a small area of lawn at the end of the patio which was handy. The double bed was very comfortable. The vaulted ceiling is low upstairs and you need to take care when moving around. It didn't bother us and is clearly described in the listing. We didn't explore the village itself although there is a cafe, pub and village shop within a 1 min walk of the cottage. The dogs loved the nearby beach at Caemes Bay, there are some dog restrictions May to September but dog friendly areas are clearly marked and spacious. We did some great coastal walks around Caemes Bay, Rhoscolyn and Pentraeth. We were lucky with the weather and had a great time. The offroad parking space at the cottage is spacious and right next to the cottage. We would definitely rebook. It was a great base to explore Anglesey and good value for money.

- Cathy, May 2023

Dear Cathy, Thanks so much for the top score and lovely review. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and I hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Richard Property Owner

Karen September 2022

“What an amazing little cottage, the only draw back the local pub said they served food but they don't anymore.”

The cafe is only open Thursday, Friday and Saturday.There's a shop around the corner that sells everything. The countryside is amazing went on some fab walks. Lovely beach at Trearddur Bay amazing walk around all dog friendly an some bars as well when the weather ain't so god. Great trip highly recommended. Karen Mick Bobby (dog)

- Karen, September 2022

Dear Karen, Thank you for taking the time to write a review following your stay at Riverside Cottage. I am so pleased you loved the cottage. It is a shame that the pub is not serving food at the moment, it has been very popular with all my guests this year. The beaches across Anglesey are amazing, plenty to explore, and lots of beautiful countryside for walks. Best wishes, Richard Property Owner
J August 2022

“Arrived to find dirty towels general unclean feeling,couch with dog hairs and rug disgusting!”

Contact meant a couple came did a deep. Clean and new rug bought.Not what we wanted to do.Kitchen v good but upstairs is cramped.

- J, August 2022

We received a call from you at my office in Trearddur Bay on your arrival day 9Thursday) and you explained you were disappointed with the location and that you preferred Trearddur Bay/Rhosneigr and could we please move you. This was not possible as it was bank holiday weekend and no other properties were available. You then stated you were not happy with a few things at the property, the paintwork on the handrail on the stairs was chipped, the towel warmer radiator was loose, the step into the living room threshold was damaged and loose, a towel had a bleach stain on it, the rug in living room had a stain on it and there were dog hairs on the sofa. We immediately contacted our housekeepers who live locally and they returned to conduct a thorough clean and fixed the step. There should not be dog hairs on the sofa, the rug was replaced, the towel warmer had been damaged by a previous guest and was replaced the following week as we had to order a new one, we can't paint the handrail until we have a gap in bookings as it wouldn't ne dry in time for next guests- so a full re decoration has been booked for November. I then called in to see you to apologise for your initial experience and tried to make amends for your disappointment. It is very disappointing to find you were so unhappy at Riverside Cottage, as previous reviews clearly state how happy our guests are and return regularly. Property Owner

“Great stay very happy with the accommodation good location was only between ...”

Great stay very happy with the accommodation good location was only between 10/45 minutes to get where we needed to go to see they great beaches and small villages only drawback was pub only do food on Thursday/Friday/Saturday and Sunday lunch café was only open Thursday/Friday/Saturday so we didn't get chance to try them we had a drink at the pub was very nice and friendly

- Susan, August 2022
Kerry July 2022

“The cottage was well equipped and situated in a lovely village.”

The property and the garden area was far too small for 2 adults & 2 spaniels.The adjoining cottage which is also above you is poorly insulated and therefore extremely noisy (you can hear everything). The fencing in the garden allowed our dogs to see next doors dogs, which is all well and good however one of our dogs is reactive so this made for traumatic toileting etc... Although the low Beams are stated in the listing you are not prepared for how low the entire bedroom is..I'm 5ft 6 and couldn't stand up anywhere upstairs... Unfortunately the cottage wasn't as clean as expected eg.we had to clean the oven,grill pan & most of the crockery before use. There is also a significant smell of damp throughout the cottage. Although not suited to us, for the right person I'm sure would have an enjoyable stay there were lots of nice touches such as dressing gowns & prosecco.

- Kerry, July 2022
Heather July 2022

“Lovely clean comfy cottage.”

Headroom over bed beware! Ouch Downside, noisy room to adjoining property above our lounge, we tried to keep tv noise low as they went to bed at 9pm Mobile home park at rear, so cars pass by lounge French doors frequently, our dog rushed barking at them, hence had to keep doors closed! Also gate to rear patio off , so not as safe as we thought when booking, we moved patio sofa to cover gate

- Heather, July 2022

Dear Heather, Thank you for taking the time to write your thoughts following your stay at Riverside Cottage. When the renovation work was carried out three years ago the floor above was insulated, but judging by your comments not enough. We will look into this when we do a refurbishment next month. The gate outside has been fixed. I do hope you would consider a return visit. Kind regards, Richard Property Owner
Lainy June 2022

“Lovely cosy cottage in a pleasant village, and not too far from major tourist spots by car.”

The cottage was very clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was extremely comfortable. The host was very responsive and quick to reply to any queries. As two people and a dog it was exactly what we needed. We will hopefully stay again in the future. Yes the bedroom ceiling is low, so if you are tall you might struggle. We are. 5ft 4 and 5 ft 10 and we managed okay.

- Lainy, June 2022

Hi Lainy, I am so pleased Riverside Cottage worked for you and you enjoyed your stay. We love the location to explore all the beautiful ancient villages and wonderful beaches, not forgetting the coastal path not far way. Best wishes, Richard Property Owner
Geoff June 2022

“Had a fantastically relaxing 10 day stay at Riverside Cottage.”

No complaints about the cottage other than a dripping pipe in the living room which I believe has now been fixed. The village has everything you need (pub shop &cafe) but only from Wednesday to Saturday! Be equipped to travel.

Thank you Geoff for posting such a nice review, I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Regards, Richard Property Owner

Jane April 2022

“Riverside cottage is wonderful.”

We'll catered for. Gift on arrival, robes (great idea).. even the dog was thought of, bowl/towel/toys. Only negative was the height of the bedroom ceiling which is a shame, also more remote than expected, but plus side there's a pub, cafe and shop nearby.

- Jane, April 2022
Chrissy December 2021

“We had a lovely stay at Riverside Cottage.”

Perfect for 2 people. Unfortunately my husband banged his head at least 5 times on the beams in the bedroom (some people just never learn). Thank you for the fizz which we enjoyed on New Years Eve. The bed and bedding was super soft and comfy. We would definitely stay again. One point we did forget to say, we noticed that there was a leak in the lounge over the shelves where the books are. It looks like it has been leaking for some time, I did wipe it down and leave a cloth there.

Celia September 2021

“Cottage is beautiful and fitted out very tastefully.”

The low ceiling in the bedroom is definitely a hazard but you soon develop a stoop when you’ve bumped your head a couple of times! Love the dry stone walls!

- Celia, September 2021
Andrew September 2021

“Riverside cottage is a wonderful place to stay with only a couple of minor drawbacks.”

Steep stairs to the bedroom, which has a low ceiling . Also the bedroom of the attached cottage is above your living room, which could be a problem if there was a noisy family staying there. On the positive side, we found the cottage to be very comfortable with all the provisions needed for a short break. The garden to the rear is enclosed so perfect if like us you take a dog. We will definitely be booking again. Also great communication with the owner. 10/10 for us

“Noise from upstairs in house next door wasn't good.”

Bathroom could be updated. But all in all its a lovely little cottage. Village has well stocked shop and a nice pub with great food

- Maggie, July 2021
Paul June 2021

“Oven and grill had not been cleaned for some time.”

Took a lot of elbow grease to make it fit for use. Sofa had a strong dog smell. On investigation it was clear that the cushions had not been removed there being considerable food waste, in the way of crumbs mostly, and dog hairs which we hoovered and treated with air freshener spray. Bath mat to step onto when leaving the shower would be useful to prevent slippage. Disappointed that there was no recycling provision. On the plus side most of the equipment and appliances were excellent. Facilities in the village, Pub, Cafe and Village shop, were first class.

- Paul, June 2021
Mark June 2021

“Riverside Cottage has very high standard fixtures, fittings and furnishings and is a small rural village which is very peaceful.”

A great place to relax from the busy world and chill.

Tracey April 2021

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

The cottage was beautiful. Very clean, the bedding was immaculate and there was every thing you needed. We would definitely stay again. There isn't much to do in the village but we drove out each day to explore nearby bays and coves . We had a couple of days just enjoying the sun in the garden. Wonderful holiday, beautiful cottage and very organised and clean

- Tracey, April 2021
Elliot April 2021

“The cottage was authentic and matched its surroundings.”

It clean, fresh and really nicely presented, although the lovely and quirky bedroom isn't one for the tall people amongst us! Perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle.

- Elliot, April 2021
Alan October 2020

“We had a lovely week staying at Riverside Cottage, it is a lovely cosy place and well-located within easy driving distance of many of Anglesey's fantastic beaches, walks and other attractions.”

My one point to note is that one of the bedrooms for the adjacent Riverside House (another cottage with the same owner) is directly above the living room of Riverside Cottage. Footsteps and the sound of dogs playing/barking in this room were very loud due to no soundproofing in the floorboards/ceiling. Thankfully this was only an issue at the point the neighbouring guests went to bed in an evening and didn't interrupt the enjoyment of our stay too much.

- Alan, October 2020
Mark September 2020

“Best cottage we've stayed thus far.”

Facilities excellent location excellent. Felt homely and welcoming. Bedroom ceiling low but this was as described beforehand and didn't cause us any issues. A great week. Would definitely stay again.

- Mark, September 2020
James August 2020

“Lovely, well appointed cosy little cottage.”

Bedroom ceiling is a little low but that cant be helped and the TV is sometimes slow to respond to button clicks, even with new batteries, and can become a little frustrating. Overall a very comfy and positive stay :)

Jane February 2020

“We had a very relaxing break in this lovely, cosy, well-equipped cottage.”

It is in an excellent location for exploring the beautiful island of Anglesey and is also situated in a pleasant, friendly village close to an excellent pub, community cafe and shop.

“Cottage very well equipped.”

The christmas tree/twig was very sad though and the sofa was very low and uncomfortable for us. Very peaceful location the cottage is beautifully decorated, very clean and cosy. The caravan park was closed so there was no traffic at all, not sure how that would be when the park is open however.

“Gorgeous little cottage with everything you need!”

Lovely touch like leaving us some Welsh butter and a bara brith cake! Everything thought about! Amazing tv and really cost for night time! Lovely little pub and cafe, really pretty village! Would come again.

“A beautiful little cottage, with everything we needed.”

.. Lovely touch with the radio when we entered...very clean, lovely lounge area. Loved the quaint bedroom, I am small enough not too hit my head, which is pointed out and we are warned about in the description, so no problem there. Very welcoming shop and pub, with a small, home-made food menu, well behaved muts are made very welcome...two minutes walk away..... If any criticism was due, perhaps a little attention to the private garden....the overgrown bush around the table made it difficult to sit out.... A delightful, relaxing 3 nights was had by all....

“There should be much more emphasis on the height of the bedroom ceiling (or lack of it).”

As another reviewer noted, if confined spaces are an issue this property should be avoided. At 6' 2" I was unable to stand up in the bedroom and my wife at 5' 2'' had to bend to avoid the beams and sloping roof. A pity about the bedroom, as the rest of the property was excellent. It was spotless, new equipment in the kitchen and comfortable lounge area. The area was very quiet and a short drive to Cemaes Bay (free all day parking at the top car park). Turning right or left from the beach are some lovely walks (one eventually ends up at a National Trust Nature Reserve just behind the power station).

“The cottage was newly refurbished and was clean and modern.”

It was well equipped with some useful extras like dog towels. However I feel that it should be made clear in the particulars that the head height in the bedroom is very limited and is not suitable for tall people or those suffering from claustrophobia!

“Lovely cottage.”

We'd definitely recommend to friends, etc. Nicely furnished and a spacious living room. The kitchen is a bit small but with only 2 people that wasn't a problem.

About the location

LLANFECHELL

Cemaes Bay 1.5 miles; Holyhead 15 miles.

Llanfechell is a small village situated one and a half miles from Cemaes Bay, on the northern tip of Anglesey in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village gets its name from the nearby 12th century Mechell Church, which has been extended over the years and where it is believed that St Mechell is buried. The ancient Parys mountain copper mines are seven miles away, with their lunar-like landscape and the area is popular with geologists and archaeologists due to the rock formations at Mechell Mountain and the several ancient monuments scattered around, reputed to be some of the oldest in the world. Llanfechell is home to a village pub, which serves traditional ale with a warm welcome. Nearby, the pretty seaside village of Cemaes Bay is home to three pubs, a few shops, a natural sheltered harbour and a sandy beach, edged by grassy cliffs and ideal for safe bathing and family fun. The whole of the Isle of Anglesey is renowned for its miles of stunning and varied coastline, offering wonderful walking and cycling opportunities, along with birdwatching, excellent watersports, fishing and many quality golf courses. Anglesey Sea Zoo and a variety of National Trust properties and gardens are all within reach on this beautiful island, while a day trip to Dublin can be enjoyed from nearby Holyhead. A great location offering something for all the family.
