“The Hot Tub was immaculate and regularly maintained.”

Loved the area and the actual home was lovely... BUT - This was not a cheap holiday so I did not expect to find chipped cups, plates and dishes - we purchased more, pans not really clean/old. I expected more than one cheap small toilet roll in each toilet and 1 bin bag. There were only 7 outdoor seats for 8 people - we purchased more. The sofa was really badly stained. The kitchen tap constantly dripped. The bathroom shower did not flow away, it took quite a while. Under beds and sofa were disgusting - odd sock and bits of food as well as dust. Overall this was well below the standard of other holiday homes we have stayed in and needs a good clean. Before the holiday Sykes were horrendous to get in touch with, cost us a fortune on the phone.

“Absolutely lovely place to stay.”

Only marked down very slightly on cleanliness as it could be a little better, and some of the walls need a lick of paint to get rid of the marks. House itself was superb with bags of room in all the bedrooms, and a great living area upstairs with tremendous views. Wildlife and countryside walks right on your doorstep. Very quiet location but close enough to decent beaches to get there in minutes by car. Highly recommend!

“We loved the open plan area upstairs, and all the bedrooms were spacious and was fantastic to have own bathrooms.”

As the house sleeps 8 maybe a bigger fridge in the kitchen and an airfare to help with space in the oven when cooking. Garden could do with some tlc, shaded area or umberrella / canopy, plants or ornaments to make it look more appealing to sit in (we had mist so couldn’t see the mountains on the mainland), also would recommend a small fridge downstairs as it’s a fair way up and down those stairs! Luckily we had a camping fridge which we kept filling up! We were also quite alarmed that the hot tub guy arrived well before we checked out, we were upstairs finalising bin runs etc and he didn’t shout up or knock? If we have the place till 10am I would expect it just to be accessible to us Other than that, we loved the pub and locals next door, it was ideal for what we wanted and would recommend to others for future and maybe return ourselves sometime

“Deal and unique space, in great location.”

Recommend park run at Newborough forest, surfing at Rhosneigr plus the surf Cafe was fab. Four Crosses pub at Menai bridge, great food - go on Wednesday evening for fun quiz, coastal path at Holyhead.

“We loved the accommodation and location.”

The house was clean and well kept and had everything we could want (except potato masher but we got round this). The pub next door is fabulous - a real community hub and the walk along the coast to the woodland area is perfect for the dog, a perfect house and location for our family holiday to Anglesey. Perfect place to explore the island, which we love. Some feedback which might be useful but certainly isn’t a complaint. The front door sticks and doesn’t fully open. The dishwasher didn’t seem to work, it left the plates dirty - the pull down bit where the tablet goes is missing so it could be this,

“The property was lovely, the area was amazing.”

The hot tub was lovely and clean and nice to use,we felt the cottage could have been cleaner, there were dead flies on the windowsill behind the TV, and also cobwebs , there was also a previous occupants dirty socks in the ground floor bedroom so obviously not a thorough clean had been done, the oven was quite dirty and needed a good clean.The property was well equipped but more fridge space for a group of 8 would be better and more glasses for general use as 2 wine glasses and 3 champagne flutes not sufficient for 8 people!! We felt the property would benefit from a few homely touches such as a chair in the bedrooms and a few pictures We would return to the area again as Anglesey was a fabulous place to visit and would go to Sardis Chapel again but would hope the comments are taken on viewed as it was a lovely property with plenty of space for a large mixed group

“We have really enjoyed our stay.”

Lovely cottage, lots of places to have some lovely walks. Cottage was well equipped, clean with lots of space. We pulled the corner sofas out to make extra space to sit. Downstairs at night was very warm, even after turning the heating down. Would recommend.

“Lovely stay in Sardis chapel 1 3 generations family and 2 dogs Accommodation is very well thought out with each room having en-suite/private bathroom.”

Would have welcomed option if possible to turn 1 bed into twins Lobby area tiled floors all other floors wooden and stairs carpeted, made easy to keep clean ( if brush provided) Lovely large area as enter property to take off boots, hang coats with underfloor heating to dry everything off. Furniture is all good quality and beds very comfortable. Kitchen area has all equipment you would want for self catering holiday. Although seating is very comfortable you would struggle if there were more than 5 people to sit on sofas. Ideally additional comfy chairs are required as sleeps 8 Private parking for number of vehicles. Great position with easy access to walks from property and short drive away to many more beaches /attractions. Would suggest 1 soft broom/hoover to sweep floors especially as enter property 2 more than 1 bin bag 3 bigger supply logs 4 better control of heating especially downstairs in bedrooms- very warm and difficult to turn it down 5 additional comfortable seating in lounge area However these are all minor points and we had great break, we’re very impressed by standard of the property.

Ali September 2023

“We had an excellent holiday in a lovely comfortable cottage, and the dogs barking mentioned in other comments didn’t bother us, even with 3 babies sleeping at different times of the day.”

Just a few things that would have been helpful to us:- . A sweeping brush would have been really helpful with all the wooden and tiled floors . Directions on how to recycle would be helpful (we eventually found a recycling point at Aldi) as no recycling collection is available at the cottage, but that is how residents recycle, we couldn’t even find anything on the internet. . The first bedroom on the ground floor needs some kind of furniture to enable bags to be unpacked. There’s a clothes rail in the cupboard but just one high shelf so nowhere really to put clothes or toiletries except the floor.

- Ali, September 2023
Joanne September 2023

“We had a lovely family break.”

The place was very clean and comfy. We had a toddler with us and would ask if child locks and socket covers could be provided as this maybe helpful for future visitor's. Other than that it was a lovely memorable time Thank you

“Lovely little getaway.”

Auntie Jojo treated us to a relaxing stay in a beautiful, clean house. Exploring close by villages and even pottery painting in Conwy. Hot tub was great.

- Holt family West Midlands, Sep 2023
Sue August 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, excellent facilities, great location, just a couple of minor observations: Agree with other reviewers, seating area would not be great if max capacity in property, the lighting in the living area is bright, however a few lamps may be worth adding so not as harsh of an evening.”

The velux windows are fab, but blinds would be a great addition, we were lucky to have great weather and could have done with some shade up there. Fortunately our dogs did not react to the howling dogs, I would imagine this would be a pain if they did! Hot tub lovely, garden very dark, which was great for star gazing, but not when one of your dogs is jet black! Maybe worth mentioning steep stairs as would be a problem if infirm/ elderly/ small children….dogs loved them though

This is a lovely location to explore. The beach and forest are beautiful, even in the rain! Easy to get to lots of places in Anglesey. We've had a fab stay.

“We had a great week.”

The beds were comfy and it was lovely that there were 4 bathrooms. The towels were thick and absorbent There was plenty of constant hot water. Parking nearby was free which was appreciated. However, we were disappointed in the sitting in the lounge. No way was there adequate seats for 8 people. It was a struggle for 5 of us to sit and relax in the evenings. Meaning 3 of us had to try snd sit on an uncomfortable dining chair. To us, snd I am sure for most visitors this is an important aspect/activity on any holiday. A minor niggle was the fact there was only 1 tea towel. This wasn’t a huge issue as we simply went and bought some. But it would have been useful if the owner had suggested we bought our own The nearby howling dogs were annoying particularly during the night but we would not penalise the owner for this.

- Paula, May 2023
Karen May 2023

“Beautiful property.”

Family of 6 adults thoroughly enjoyed our time here apart from the fact the hot tub was locked on our first night which was very disappointing as we had planned to use it.

- Karen, May 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback and we are so glad you enjoyed your time here! We do however apologize for the hot tub lock due to a new system being installed - we have dealt with this with Menai holiday cottages and ensure it will not happen again. We hope to see you back here soon! Property Owner

“Absolutely brilliant property.”

Felt high spec and well thought through in terms of comfort, facilities, furnishings & decor. Very comfy beds, lovely cotton bedding, and the bathrooms all great with high quality fittings. Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was dreadful, so having a lovely place like this to stay was an absolute bonus.

- Georgia, April 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback, we are thrilled you had a good time despite the weather. Very welcome back any time! Property Owner

“A good base to see this part of Anglesey, Llanddwyn Beach and island, squirrels in the forest.”

We enjoyed the hot tub, cakes from the cafe and fish and chips from over the road. Gardeners would enjoy visiting Plas Cadnant.

“Great location, high quality appliances and comfortable, clean accommodation.”

Our only criticism if the dingy allocation of just one dishwasher tablets - we wanted to enjoy the accommodation and hot tub... not spend our time washing up after 8 people. But clearly pretty perfect if that is all we can moan about.

- Kathryn, February 2023

Thanks for the positive feedback and sorry about the dishwasher tablets! We will try to have a full pack on standby for your next visit :) Property Owner
Colin October 2022

“Our one issue were the number of flies in the property, mainly the top floor (kitchen & lounge areas) Looking at the reviews this has been mentioned a number of times!”

Maybe some fly spray would be an advantage as this is not something people pack in their luggage!! Otherwise, no complaints.

- Colin, October 2022

Thank you for choosing to stay at Capel Sardis 1 and taking the time to share your experience with us. We really appreciate your comments and feedback. Being situated in the lovely countryside can unfortunately mean there are flies around, especially if the velux windows were open. However, thankfully, this tends to be seasonal and we can store some fly repellent in the cupboard for future guests’ comfort. Thank you for your suggestions and we are happy that you otherwise had a wonderful stay! Property Owner
Alan and Pam Oct 2022

“Upon arrival the place was pristine and immediately we felt at home.”

The welcome pack was plentiful and much appreciated. We would have appreciated blinds on the top floor not for privacy but to block out the sun when watching TV. Thank you so much.

“The property has been renovated to a high standard and was very comfortably appointed.”

It was spotlessly clean, upon arrival, and we immediately felt at home. The beautiful bathroom/shower for every room was particularly well received. It’s location to nearby beauty spots could not be faulted, despite Sardis Chapel 1, and 2, and The Fisherman’s Cottage being basically placed in a pub car park. The pub wasn’t particularly noisy, however it would put us off visiting in the summer months when more clientele would undoubtedly be sitting outside. The “howling dogs” that was referred to in a previous review was accurate. There are at least six large dogs kennelled in the garden of an adjacent neighbours garden. Overall, they remain silent, however, when something disturbs them, the pack mentality returns and the begin to bark and howl in unison. This isn’t often, but a tad irritating. The top floor, which houses the lounge, and dining kitchen is bright, airy and open. The plentiful Velux windows allow some delightful views across the estuary, and loads of natural light, however we felt that they needed blinds to screen the sunshine to afford shade, when dining or attempting to watch the tv in the bright sunshine. The steep stairs between floors are difficult to negotiate if you have mobility issues, or have toddlers, and I think that prospective clients should be notified of there existence. We had a wonderful week in a delightful property, in a part of the island that we haven’t previously concentrated on. Newborough Forest, and beach are outstanding areas of natural beauty and rightly so. Any of the three properties are perfect for the endless birdwatching and photography opportunities on the estuary. Thank you to the owners and Sykes Cottages for their assistance in arranging the last minute changes that made our holiday so memorable.

- Alan, September 2022

Thank you for choosing to stay at Capel Sardis 1 and for taking the time to write this review. We greatly appreciate your comments and feedback and strive to improve with each and every stay. The property is indeed situated next to small pub (which serves a well deserved pint after a long walk by the beautiful estuary) however, the carpark you refer to does in fact, belong to the properties themselves, therefore, is for the sole use of Capel Sardis guests. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Capel Sardis 1 and look forward to welcoming you again. Property Owner

“We have had really lovely weather and the skies have only turned grey as we leave.”

Newspaper fish and chips from the local shop/chippy - the owner was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed days at Newborough, the beach at Porth Trecastel, Beaumaris, Penmon Point and Holy Island with a walk on the Range and tea at the RSPB centre at south stack. Thank you for providing us with a cafetiere- much appreciated.

About the location

MALLTRAETH

Newborough 2 miles; Rhosneigr 8 miles.

The small village of Malltraeth lies in the south west corner of Anglesey, at the head of the long inlet formed by the Cefni Estuary and close to the popular Newborough Forest and Warren sand dunes. Malltraeth Pool and the magnificent sweep of marshes and sand dunes, which stretch south to Llanddwyn Island, are all part of a National Nature Reserve. The whole area is renowned for its birdlife and Malltraeth was once home to the famous wildlife artist Charles F Tunnicliffe. There are wonderful forest and coastal walks from the village, which has a pub, a cafe serving afternoon tea and a chip shop (also selling basic items/newspapers etc). Close by are beautiful beaches at Llanddwyn (reputedly the 4th best in Britain), Aberffraw, and Cable Bay, or head to Rhosneigr, which is renowned for its all year round watersports facilities.
