“Neil was very helpful, and polite.”

The house was welcoming, clean and had a lovley homley feel. A few marks here and there on the paintwork but that's was due to some families not respecting it. Views were amazing all around the house from all windows, country and sea views. Great location to visit all over the Island. Moalfra on the doorstep virtually, Benllech a few miles, and a bay you can walk to on the right. 5 of us went for our freinds 60th, had a livley time, would def recomend and stay again. Beds comfy and clean linen ...

“The property itself was generally well kept with exception to the occasional damp patches (next to the fire, the bathroom and peeling paint, probably cause by escaped water from the bathroom above, in the snug.”

The shower tray kept filling up with water despite there being no obvious blockages e.g.hair, which meant that we were afraid to use it by the end of the holiday. I suspect there may be a problem with the plumbing. Whilst the kitchen was generally well equipped, there were only two pint glasses or prosecco glasses to drink from with exception to plastic cups! Our main issue was with the outdoor space and the fact that the hot tub was not working. The garden area wasn't well maintained. Lots of rubbish, weeds and bags of garden waste lying about. Not to mention the broken chair that had clearly been there that long it had vines growing within it! Having two teenage girls we had booked the property mainly for the hot tub which despite me drawing it to the property owners' attention on arrival was not fixed until the final night of our stay.

“Tyny berth 17 to 24th August Nice cottage, been mistreated by others I think over the seasons, spoilt our break considerably.”

Really nice views and a lovely cottage. But very disappointed with our stay. Not acutely listed in Sykes. Open fire is a gas fire, Near main road is actually directly on a 40mph road, Parking is tight when you dodge the traffic, Grass area is ok but we did not feel safe letting our dog out unattended just incase, due to the proximity to the main road. Cosy rooms and clean fresh bed linen, reasonably clean, but don’t look on top of the wardrobes, full of dust. Careful if you have dust allergies as I do. Kitchen is well fitted but has been misused by a few families as mentioned, only 2 pint glasses in the whole house, and 1 wine glass etc, oven hob button comes off so be careful and put it back on. Warning, the gas fire in the living room does not light, don’t bother. Tried for two days, listed as open fire, but gas fire fitted, several cold nights later found out central heating is controlled via a smart hub. Worked great when we realised this was the case as we spend several cold nights with the heating not on. The white box was on the top mantel under the tv. In the warmest room. thus no heating switched on. When we moved it to the bottom of the mantelpiece heating actually worked. Bins were full when we arrived on Saturday 17th. Limited room for any rubbish. Manual says they get collected on Friday, actually it was collected on Tuesday. So make sure you leave the bins out. Just be careful of the wind blowing the bins into the road though, one of ours went walkies into the main road with the wind, we are aware this can’t be controlled but knowing when to actually put them out would be great. Two different days listed in the house guide, which did not match when they were actually collected. Hot tub lid, was broken before we arrived by a previous families children dancing on the lid, This made the hot tub really hard to use as it was in two pieces, This although an inconvenience, did not stop use of the actual hot tub, when it was working for the 2 days it worked. Note when it was actually working 1.5 of the 3 powered jet system , the buttons were working just no pressure and or jets. seams a constant theme looking at other reviews of the hot tub breaking 2ish days into the stay. As mentioned our stay, the hot tub broke on the 2nd day anyway, by tripping the electrics. Not to be used for the remaining week, we only got to use it 2 out of 7 possible days. As the hot tub has not been able to be used all week, this has Considerably put a dampener on the cottage and hot tub experience, one of the main reason for booking this actual cottage. Very disappointing. And has considerably spoilt our family holiday. House manual was, is written very hostile and not really a warm welcome. For instance the shower was blocked when we arrived, and I ended up on all fours on our first night fixing and making it usable. Ended up removing a piece of plastic from the sump by poking fingers into the hole. Not hair like the instruction book seams to suggest. Plus Water pools in the corner by the door and you have to stop showering to ensure the water flow does not flow over the edge. Sykes description needs to state its on a main road and difficult to pull in and out of a blind corner on an 40mph road makes it interesting. The actual drive, although it does fit two parked cars, you cannot turn or manoeuvre. you need two very small cars, with two very skilled drivers for this. Owner although responsive on texts had to be chased for updates and to this date no response as to when hot tub will be fixed. Writing this on our last night, so it’s the next family’s issue now. Good luck We won’t be back to this cottage, Anglesey still has hidden treasures to be seen, so we might book an alternative cottage next time.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to meet with us in person during your stay in August. We appreciate your input as it helps us maintain and improve our property. We strive to address issues promptly and take full responsibility when things are not up to standard. Regarding the hot tub, we acknowledge there was a fault with the pump, which we arranged to be repaired by an engineer. Unfortunately, a previous guest had allowed children to jump on and sunbathe on the lid, causing damage beyond repair. We immediately ordered a new lid upon receiving this report, but regrettably, it did not arrive in time for your stay. We're pleased to inform you that a new lid has since been installed. We empty and refill the hot tub weekly, with this service included in the cost of the rental. Given recent experiences, we are considering making the hot tub an optional extra in the future to ensure its proper maintenance and use. During our meeting, you mentioned finding the property "very cosy," which we were glad to hear. We understand your disappointment regarding the hot tub lid situation. Regarding access, we regularly accommodate larger vehicles such as pickup trucks and 4x4s & estates simultaneously and without issue. For future guests with larger vehicles, we recommend reversing into the driveway for easier maneuvering. As with any older building, routine and preventive maintenance is an ongoing process. We continuously address any necessary work to keep the property in good condition. We have noted all your comments and will use them to guide our improvement efforts. We look forward to welcoming future guests and receiving more positive feedback as we continue to enhance our property and services. Thank you again for your valuable input. Sincerely, Neil Houlihan 07760391536 Property Owner

“The property, location and views were amazing.”

The downside was it wasn't clean downstairs! We bought a throw to cover were we sat on the sofa. Cups, plates and bowls were dirty, the oven also dirty. The lack of TLC really let it down. We always recommend properties we havd stayed it, unfortunately we won't be on this occasion, it cost a lot of money for our week away. We won't be coming back.

- Donna, June 2024

It is disappointing to get negative feedback, and sometimes unfair or unjust but you are entitled to leave it. We firmly believe that we do all we can to ensure our visitors have a great time in our clean and comfortable cottage and 99% of our visitors do. Regrettably some visitors do not look after our property and despite us recently renewing the sofa cushion covers and the hot tub lid, they have been damaged and stained by guests! Our cleaning team have been with us since the beginning and we have never had complaints about cleanliness of the house before. We will raise the issue with them and re-order more cushion covers and yet another hot tub lid! Property Owner

“Beautiful Cottage with amazing views from every window in the house.”

Location was perfect, easy access to everywhere. Hot tub was great, looking out onto beautiful countywide and the Sea. Would definitely stay again.

“The property is warm and comfortable and mostly well-equipped.”

Beds are very comfortable. There are a few little niggles which, if addressed, would make it perfect. The lounge/kitchen door sticks shut. The lounge fireplace wall needs painting. There is no hairdryer. The information/instruction book is a bit sparse and needs updating (the bin collection details were confusing). Kitchen pans need replacing, the non-stick coating has worn off. More tea spoons needed (there are only 4). There is a terrific draught through the en-suite bathroom window which makes having a bath a bit chilly. The garden/patio area needs some attention. Weeding and cutting back of bushes required. I know this seems like nit-picking, but if I don’t mention these issues, they will irritate your future guests if not remedied. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay.

- Jean, June 2024

Thank you for the feedback! We will purchase a hairdryer, great idea! The other maintenance items are routine and sadly part of the wear and tear of having visitors, we will sort though! Garden maintenance has been an issue as poor Hot Tub Dave is cracking on now and struggling to stay on top. We are in the process of sourcing a new gardener so all will be beautiful for summer again! Thank you for the feedback. Property Owner

“Beautiful area ideal situated property to may attractions all 30 mins on the island we never got the main oven to work and the heating never worked so had to sit with blankets evening time as it really is cold.”

The shower needed attention as seemed blocked and the hot tub had really high chemicals as took colour from costumes and hair . Used house as a base in the end but really enjoyed the island. I no it sounds negative on the whole but the house is spacious and well equipped .

“Tyn y berth is a fantastic place to stay, as is Anglesey on the whole.”

Tyn y berth has everything you’ll need and is lovely and warm and cosy. The beds are very comfortable and we all loved the hot tub. The views are incredible from every window. It’s central to most activities we did, with nothing over 30 minutes away. Some lovely walks around the cottage along the coastal path, beaches around it are fantastic if you get a nice day for weather aswell. Would highly recommend this place.

- Laura, March 2024
Rachel February 2024

“This an absolutely stunning property with amazing views from every window.”

We had a fabulous week and even the kids keep asking when we are going back. So much to do in the local area, we would highly recommend this property and will definitely be booking again.

“Amazing customer care and responded quickly and efficiently to query regarding hot-tub.”

House was spotless with amazing views. Linen and towels where of high quality and fresh. Would highly recommend and can't wait to return. Few recommendations: few scuffs on twin bedroom wall only stood out due to the high spec everywhere else.

- Richard, October 2023
Rob October 2023

“Lovely house in a great location.”

Great views. Ideal for exploring Anglesey. Host quickly got an engineer out to sort a heating element problem with the Hot Tub. A couple of damp walls but not unexpected in a big old stone built house. We'd be happy to stay here again.

- Rob, October 2023

“We had two Anglesey holiday homes on our shortlist but Tyn Y Berth won as she has an “open fire” and a “hot tub” according to Sykes website.”

Unfortunately the open fire is actually gas and the hot tub after tripping off on the Sunday became a cold tub as it then failed to warm up the rest of week making it unusable. The kitchen is well equipped with utensils, crockery, pans etc the living room furniture is comfy and the beds were clean and comfortable. It is warm, sometimes too warm as the heating is on to avoid condensation on the thick walls but I think it is more likely because the house has a serious problem with damp on the side wall. It is in a fantastic location for visiting lots of great places. Unfortunately, there are a lot of negatives of which to list a few are the very wet wall in the main bedroom which also has a wardrobe with one door, the other is propped up against the side of the wardrobe, the cupboard under the sink is dirty and the paintwork on the staircase to be frank is a disgrace. I note having read some reviews when we got home that this was mentioned previously and the owners responded that it was because the wrong paint had been used and they would be rectifying this problem week commencing 12th August. As our visit was w/c 30th September I can only assume they meant 2024! Overall the general upkeep of the house and garden is really not good. The bushes at the front of the house are overgrown spoiling what would be a lovely view and the paving is full of weeds. The house does not warrant the amount of money it costs to stay there and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to family or friends in its present condition.

“Property is ideally situated for site seeing and local dog friendly beaches and coastal walks.”

Fantastic views from every window. Bad points in desperate need of some tlc missing wardroom door, bedroom draws don't shut properly, damp in bathroom and master bedroom, bottom oven doesn't work, kitchen cupboards faulty.front yard area, parking area full of weeds and hedges not cut, garden and pots around need sorting. Hot tub only has one set of jets working. Things have been noted in house keeping book but obviously not followed up. Pictures are misleading as its not as well kept.

“Lovely views, but the road is busy and it does impact on your enjoyment of the hot tub.”

“After we had booked this short break I read a few reviews from previous guests and I’m not going to lie I was worried and annoyed at myself that I hadn’t read them before booking, but I’m glad I didn’t as I may not of booked.”

I was expecting loads of issues and whilst I agree the property needs a little TLC to address areas of damp and some parts need painting touch ups, I feel these are minor issues and some of the reviews are unfair. I did notice the owners response to one review which states they are decorating very soon so I would definitely consider returning again and it would be nice to see the improvements. We had a lovely four night stay here. Weather was in our favor, so we got to use the hot tub, which was in good working order and clean. Previous reviews stated the hot tub was overlooked, but personally, (and I am self conscious) didn’t feel like any passing traffic would be able to see us. We put a bit of music on low and we found it relaxing and hardly noticed any traffic noise at all. The views from the hot tub are amazing too. The property itself was really cosy and we loved all the special touches, such as board games, dvds, books, smart tvs and the binoculars to look out over the sea. The kitchen was great, loads of utensils, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, oven, kettle, toaster, all clean and in perfect working order. There were lots of essentials to get us going such as dishwasher tablets, fairy liquid, toilet rolls, etc, which we thought was really good till we got the chance to get settled in and do a bit of shopping, then we replaced what we had used. Bedrooms and bathroom were clean and plenty towels were supplied and these smelled so lovely and were really soft. So the only things we would like to see to improve the stay are: blackout blinds in all bedrooms, a few more coat hangers, decorating to areas that need it, bit of attention to the outside area such as weeding and maybe some plants. Other than that it was perfect and Thankyou for letting us stay. Things we loved: The property was homely and welcoming. We loved the views and the proximity of the property to nearby beaches, shops and some really good restaurants. We loved Dylan’s and The Tavern on the Bay. The chippy behind Tesco express was also great but got really busy! Thanks for renting out this lovely property and we hope to visit again soon.

Leanne July 2023

“The hot tub tripped out on us the first night we were there.”

My husband tried calling the owner that same night but only go through to him the next morning. He then advised how to fix it but we were out for the day and so couldn’t sort until we got back that evening meaning that the hot tub had not warmed up sufficiently for us that night. We finally got to us tether hot tub on the third day, not ideal as we were leaving the next day!!! The property is also very tired and could do with some updating and decoration work to hide the damp marks and stains. The stair bannister could also do with a good clean!!!

- Leanne, July 2023

Thank you for the feedback. Tyn Y Berth will be back to her beautiful self in time for the Autumn walkers and our regular visitors. We are sorry for any issues with the hot tub, we can not allow for the way the tub is used by guests and it seems that someone had inadvertently damaged it. It has now been attended to and It has been repaired. We have arranged for redecoration at the end of this summer, the bannister looks that way because I used the wrong paint which has permanently marked/stained. It doesn't look good but isn't dirty and it drives our excellent cleaner mad. I have promised to sort it/paint it w/c 12th August. Property Owner
Gail July 2023

“What a shame they had damp not condensation when it rained the walls under the tv in the lounge were wet and rising in the snug it was the same Both outside wall.”

The views were lovely shame the weather was a little Cool so we didn’t use the hot tub. All in all we had a great week and our pooch enjoyed her self

Clare May 2023

“Beautiful house, great location, some great beaches on your doorstep.”

The view is a real treat and all the bedrooms have a sea view. House is well equiped with everything you would need for your stay and the little washing line was perfect for drying costumes and towels after the hot tub which was great. Only minor disappointment was the proximity of a busy road running right outside the house, made being outside very noisy. Would definately recommend.

“We have reported an issue to both yourself and the owner not responding to us now, left on Thursday due to Road works, abuse received from one of the workers.”

It was very difficult to get into the drive way due to one lane closed due to the road works. We booked the cottage for a relaxing week did not get this usbke to use the hot tub due the noise snd fumes from the traffic due to the traffic lights want to be reimbursed for the cost of the holuday.

Sharon November 2022

“Lovely property in a good location.”

Disappointed with hot tub - close to the main road and not very private - having to walk from the house to the tub going past a gate which isn't very private wasn't ideal. Even putting some kind of gazebo or hessian around the tub to make it more secluded would be better. Extra towels for hot tub would have been a good idea aswell. No welcome hamper either on arrival - most places leave at least some milk for the guests on arrival. Kitchen extremely cold compared to the rest of the house which was stiffling hot at times. Damp in corner of living room by fireplace - not sure if this is being addressed? Lack of toilet rolls, not enough for number of guests. Overall though, the stay was nice and definitely in a great location. Just needs a few tweeks.

Jane July 2022

“He only thing going for this property are the lovely views, which can currently only be enjoyed from upstairs, as the overgrown shrubs and bushes to the front of the property and garden block the views.”

It looks lovely on the photos but definitely in need of a good clean, general upkeep and essential maintenance! En-suite toilet didn’t flush properly due to bodged incorrect flush system. The bath tap/hand held attachment leaked off the roll top bath onto the mucky floor underneath, we tried to stop this with towels but it ended up leaking through the ceiling and downstairs electrics! Which resulted in us unable to use it at all due to safety. Paint peeling off the ceiling over the shower, which lands on you when showering. Paint peeling off walls and damp patches all over the property. Stains on cushions and throws. Dust and cobwebs on light fittings and under furniture. Uneven floors upstairs. Cheap flat pillows on the beds, although the beds themselves were comfortable. Cupboard and drawer units difficult to open/close. Outside the back door was very slippery due to excessive bird poo due to nests above. Front door couldn’t be used due to excessive weeds and hole in the floor in the front porch (currently covered by carpet!) Driveway and garden excessively overgrown with weeds and nettles. Definitely avoid if taking young children. Old hot tub cover dumped on the driveway. Hot tub is set up on a raised patio with a large step up to it, not easy for elderly guests or people with mobility issues. The hot tub would only work properly half at a time. Although it is a six seater hot tub the information book says only three people are allowed in at once?!? Two mismatched uncomfortable benches are the only outdoor seating. Tin opener didn’t work. Kitchen bin lid broken. Instructions say you are not allowed to touch the heating it is preset to the owners requirements. (thank goodness we visited in summer). Also the property is on a very busy road, which didn’t bother us but something to be aware of if traveling with young children or dogs. I do believe this house could be lovely again if the issues are rectified, in the current state it seams it is just a money making opportunity and not a home from home that people expect when paying this kind of money.

- Jane, July 2022

We are sorry that you were disappointed with the property and your review starkly contrasts with the one received by the guests who were in the property only the week before: Reviews (1) Chezinio 56 Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile Can’t wait to return Had a fabulous week staying at the cottage . The location is perfect , views outstanding , particularly from the gorgeous hot tub ! Waking up with the sea view was particularly beautiful . The owners have thought of everything to help make your stay very comfortable The island is spectacular with fantastic coastal walks. The cottage itself is very comfortable , homely and has everything you need for a lovely holiday . Can highly recommend Ann’s pantry just a walk away for breakfast lovely coffees etc . This is an unspoilt part of the country and we cannot wait to return . Show less Date of stay: July 2022 This is our first full season and we are very grateful to have had back to back bookings during the peak period. However, this also makes it difficult to attend to maintenance issues and we block time off for general maintenance off peak. However, we will, of course, respond to issues of an urgent matter. During the 2 day period between your booking and the next guests, we have managed to address the majority of the issues that you have raised. The property has been decorated, where required, we have changed the covers on the sofas, the flush has been replaced, the bath tap has been replaced, the garden/driveway has been tidied up. The hot tub is accessible via a path to the side of the garage and was in working order. We have also discussed concerns raised with the cleaning company. Whilst not particularly relevant, just to confirm the heating is set to a comfortable temperature, in the winter months, and the feedback has been that the property is lovely and warm. We have to disagree with some of the language used ‘botched’, ‘cheap’, ‘money making opportunity’. We have lovingly refurbished and furnished the property into a welcoming, comfortable home, as confirmed by our other guests. The majority of the issues raised have occurred over time and are down to general wear and tear caused by the property being in regular use, but regard should also be given to the fact that the property is over 100 years old. Future guests can rest assured that they will enjoy their stay at Tyn Y Berth. Property Owner

Great stay we got the weather little tight for parking very good location Hot tub good and it was used almost every day

- Rob, June 2022
Mark May 2022

“The property was beautiful and comfortable, I would suggest that you ask the cleaners to move certain furniture pieces and hoover under them (under the pufe when moved was dusty and bitty) but we soon ran the hoover round, also, when having a shower there was a wee problem with the shower ceiling as the paint kept pealing off and sticking to you, these may seem petty comments but it's a shame to spoil such a great little cottage.”

Just a note to the previous guests... Take a shower before using the hot tub as there were lines of sand on the seats.... But on the whole the cottage was great!

“Book with confidence!”

! There’s literally nothing to fault on this property. If I must put a negative, weather wasn’t great but that’s expected at this time of the year and that is all. Location is great, view is amazing and the house is more than perfect with lot of privacy. Owners were quick to response and absolutely kind and lovely. The agency was very helpful too. 1000% we’ll be coming back.

“Lovely cottage, clean, everything you need.”

Only downside it is on a very fast road which makes pulling into the property difficult.

- Suzanne, September 2021
Darrell July 2021

“This cottage is set in beautiful surroundings but unfortunately did not live up to our expectations.”

The main problem being it was filthy! There was dust and cobwebs, very grubby light switches and walls and some mouldy corners. Considering we are in the middle of a global pandemic we were very disappointed with the hygiene standards and had to anti bacterially clean through on arrival. There were stains and spills on chair and sofas so we sat on our own throws throughout the holiday. Also a strong smell of dog which wasnt pleasant. The handle to the utility cupboard kept falling off, the blind in the master bedroom was broken and the hot tap on the bath was knackered! A clean, new toilet brush between guests would be nice! There wasnt a doormat at all and the fake grass near the hot tub was a tripping hazard. The house keeping book had wrong information about bin emptying day so we put it out almost every day until it was finally emptied on a Friday. An outdoor table and chairs would have been appreciated as the bench didnt fit all 6 of us. With a little thought and at a small cost these issues could be put right and the cottage would be perfect.

Thank you for the feedback. Rest assured, it has all been dealt with, we expect 100% feedback again and look forward to staying at Tyn Y Berth ourselves! We have replaced the sofa covers, deep cleaned and decorated the house and attended any items of maintenance including replacing the blinds for curtains & the door handle. There is now outdoor seating/furniture and we have updated the literature. The local authority bin men will only empty specific rubbish on a specific day and only if the bin is wheeled out to the pavement. We now have a mixed waste bin and private contractor, so bins are no longer an issue. You mentioned a global pandemic, this meant the government would not allow us to visit the properly for maintenance, so the house was empty and unloved for a short period. If you have read this far, read the other feedback and book with Sykes. Property Owner

“We loved the house, and had a wonderful time.”

Indoors was beautiful and luxurious, and the hot tub and views were stunning. Unfortunately, there were a few niggles. The house is on a very busy main road so it was noisy. The garden area isn’t ideal for our dog, and there was inadequate garden furniture. We asked the owner if he could provide some, but he didn’t. I took outdoor furniture for granted, but I will check in future! Some frustrations, but we still had an amazing time, and can’t wait to return to Anglesey!

Thank you for the feedback and pleased you had a wonderful time. We have now provided garden furniture. Property Owner

“Loved the cottage and surrounding area .”

The weather was superb on a different beach most days and walks along coastal path. In the evenings went back for hot tub and film on Netflix would definitely recommend to family and friends. Beautiful place to stay . Relaxing and views from each window just amazing .

“We booked this for our wedding anniversary as we weren’t able to go abroad to the villa we had booked.”

I love Anglesey and was excited for our stay, we wanted a decent size place in a decent location and a hot tub was a major factor especially due to the weather forecast. Literally as we were setting off about 4pm we were called by the owner to be told that the hot tub had broken that morning and was trying to get it fixed but was likely to be the last day of our stay at the earliest - obviously this was extremely disappointing and my wife was very upset but we tried to stay positive, hope for the best and understood things like this can happen. When we arrived the outside was untidy with food on the floor near the bins and the garden was quite unkept. The hot tub was situated in an open area at the side of the house in open sight of the front of the neighbours house and main road with no overhead structure like shown in the pictures. The location was great, not far from the beach, sea and nice local towns. The hot tub wasn’t fixed at any point during our stay and had to chase up the owner to see about developments. The owner did offer to pay for lunch at a local place but we said that we had already booked Dylan’s for our anniversary and didn’t hear anything back. We asked about a refund and he said he didn’t see a problem with that but asked us to speak to Sykes, we called Sykes and they understood why this was such a let down and said they would come back to us. We hadn’t heard anything back so we called again later the next day (day of departure), Sykes said they had tried to call the owner but hadn’t heard back and said they would try and get hold of the owner again to see what he was happy to offer us (which was surprising considering the owner seemed to make out that it was Sykes’s decision), anyway, they called back quite quickly and said the owner would give us £45 which was massively disappointing and not a refund or even compensation that reflects what we had lost in any way and we expressed this to Sykes and they said they would speak to the owner again and come back to us, we have still not heard anything and this is over a week so we just feel let down. We are both very busy people and this was a much needed getaway and celebration and we just don’t have the time for chasing things like this up. I don’t like being negative and I don’t like writing negative things, I’m a landlord myself so may be a little more understanding that others would be when things go wrong but I also go to the ends of the earth to make sure things are right with my houses for my tenants even if I’m at a loss.

“Everything was lovely, the only disappointment was the amount of waste in the bin, we put it out and the recycling bin wasn't emptyed, it did have food waste in the glass department it was very windy and got blown over twice, which I picked up from the street if the council had emptyed it when they came everything would have been ok.”

But they just took the bottles and left the rest. Spoilt a perfect stay. But would go there again.

- Catherine, September 2020

We are pleased you had a great break at Tyn Y Berth. Thank you for the feedback, we have addressed the bin issue by way of private refuse contractor. Welcome back. Property Owner

“Lovely cottage for a relaxing family break.”

Some people might not like the proximity of a busy at times road but the garden is secure. The owner was very helpful and sorted out any issues we had. Hot tub has a sea view from it and all the front windows have sea views too. It’s about 3/4 mile walk downhill to the nearest beach but very nice sandy beach with a nice rocky patch.

“The house was clean.”

But we had high winds, which meant the letter box on front door rattled constantly and the front door may as well have been open with the draught that blew through it. The kitchen was like being in a fridge and when any cooking was done condensation from cooker hood drip into the food I was cooking. We always choose a cottage with a hot tub in the winter months and this is why this cottage was chosen. But the temperature never got above 29 degrees Celsius so we couldn't use it. When we told the owner this he just replied that it was too windy to have used it anyway!! Which is beside the point. There was a lot of damp in the house , next to the fire place in main sitting room there was actually a pile of damp residue on the floor. The master bedroom had damp patches all over the one wall. It felt as though the cottage has been done up to quickly be put on the holiday letting market. We were unable to use the front door as it was permanently locked so the only way we could get out was the back door this I'm sure poses a real threat to life if there was a fire in the building .

- Yvette, November 2019

Dear Mrs Dovey, I am sorry you had some issues during your stay. The door is admittedly weathered and is due to be replaced when the house is next vacant. As for the damp and temperature, someone has turned off all the radiator valves! There is instruction in the welcome pack not to do so and the house is heated to 21C. We ask that guests open a window if it’s too hot to prevent condensation on the historic 700mm thick stone walls of Tyn Y Berth. Due to tampering of the heating controls, there was flaking paint caused by condensation. We have repainted this and reset the heating. In terms of the locked door, Tyn Y Berth has a brand new heat/smoke/Co2 and Fire detection, all hard wired into the mains and certified. All the opening windows operate as means of escape windows in the case of fire. We can assure you that these issues have been addressed. Thank you for your feedback. Property Owner

Tyn Y Berth makes a wonderful stay for all the family; on the coast of Anglesey, it offers stunning views and an array of activities and attractions to enjoy in the local area and beyond.

You can be sure that this delightful detached cottage offers a homely feel as soon as you step through the front door.

Grab your bags from the car and head up the stairs to the three bedrooms, all decorated in stylish metallic colours and crisp white, these rooms offer a restful stay for all of the family.

Once you’ve unpacked, head down the stairs and into the kitchen to prepare an afternoon snack; following the elegant theme of the cottage, the kitchen makes a lovely area to prepare any meal you fancy when you’re not exploring the delicious restaurants of Anglesey.

Head into the sitting room for an evening of relaxation, fit with ample seating for all and snug open fire to light in the winter months, this room is truly the hub of the house where you can enjoy each other’s company over a board game or a film, or sit around the dining table to enjoy your home-cooked meal.

Outside you can find an inviting hot tub and lawned area, perfect for the dogs to get their exercise and for the children to play in whilst you’re getting ready for your fun-filled day ahead.

The snug makes the perfect spot to spend some time with your partner in the evenings, or head here with a good book and a chilled glass of wine to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the area for some relaxing ‘me time’.

Take a stroll into your surrounding areas to enjoy the scenic views up close; the areas of Llanallgo and Moelfre host a wide array of historical landmarks, including the ancient ruins of Din Lligwy, the Lligwy Cromlech, and 12th century chapel of Capel Lligy, there’s plenty of heritage to explore right outside your doorstep.

On a warm summer’s day, the nearby pet friendly beach of Traeth Bychan makes a lovely spot to bring a picnic and soak the sun in on the sandy bays and is just 15 minutes walk away, with its own slip way for launching boats including the sailing club and is a great spot for hiring some gear for a kayak adventure after breakfast in the Beach shop and Cafe.

Just a short journey away you can find the bustling village of Benllech, with a selection of shops, beach front cafés and restaurants, its well-worth a trip if not only to get involved in some watersports on the glistening sandy beach.

Just over half an hour’s drive away you can find the popular tourist spot of Holy Head, the busiest UK Irish ferry port in the UK, here you can find beautiful boats and seaside scenery to match, or take a stroll along the breakwater Country Park to explore countryside views and nature with an audio tour and an open gallery to explore.

For a true adventure in Holyhead, the Holyhead Mountain (the highest mountain the county of Anglesey) offers a beautiful view, sloping down to the Irish Sea on two sides, there’s no better place to breathe in the fresh sea air.

Whether you enjoy a swift arf & some home made pub food at The Kinmel Arms, coffee and cake at Anns Pantry or Fish and Chips at the Coastal Cafe (recently voted Best Chip Shop on Anglesey) or a meal in the nearby Ty Dderw, there is plenty to choose from and all within 10 to 20 minute walk of Tyn Y Berth.

Tyn Y Berth is a wonderful property to bring the family on an action-packed holiday surrounded by fantastic scenery and activities for all to enjoy.
