“Very clean and perfect location.”

A few minor things. No mirror in main bathroom and no mirror in bedroom. Mattresses very inferior, paper thin so you could feel springs. Not very comfortable, suggest invest in decent mattresses and this would be a perfect holiday cottage

“Although the apartment was in excellent clean condition a few things irked : 1.”

No sharp kitchen knives nor even a bread knife. 2. No oven gloves 3. Bigger kitchen bin required 4. Mould on the shower enclosure ceiling 5. Railing outside was loose 6. No worktop cleaning sprays 7. Lounge table lamps maybe, ceiling lights harsh, too dark without. This might sound like nitpicking but it is only a suggestion to make the apartment more user friendly. Our stay was really good, would return.

“The surprise location was great but in some areas of the apartment it felt it had an end of season feel”

Judith April 2024

“A lovely apartment in a good location.”

However, the mattress in the bedroom opposite the shower room was extremely uncomfortable to the point of being painful due to the springs pressing through. I noted that this had been mentioned several times before and nothing seems to have been done to correct it i.e. replace the mattress or topper. The only way I could get comfortable was to place the two spare duvets under the bottom sheet. Also there is no mirror in the shower room. As I had seen this mentioned before, I assumed it would have been corrected but was most disappointed to find that my husband had to ask to shave in the other bathroom. If these two complaints/comments from previous reviews had been acted upon then I would have rated the apartment at 10/10

“Braid Apt was more than I expected.”

From stepping up the lovely steps to entering the clean energy the apt projected . More than happy with my weeks. Everything is attended to with precision. Can't wait to return. Huge thx for making my respite so happy.

“The apartment was well equipped and furnished as well as lovely and clean.”

The view to Holyhead mountain was inspiring to wake up to in the morning. The shower was fab and the dining lounge very comfortable. There was a huge and very useful fridge freezer. It made an excellent base for touring the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Please do think our comments suggest we were unhappy in any way, however a few things that could be better; as someone else mentioned, the mattresses aren’t comfortable, we managed by adding a spare duvet under the bottom sheet.”

A mirror above the main bedroom dresser would be good. The apartment was clean, although the sofa made me itchy, I think the fact you allow dogs (which is great) inevitably means dog hairs are present, I confess I’m very sensitive and react to pets. Maybe the cushions could be hoovered? We liked the location despite initially being worried it may be noisy along side golf course, it was actually very quiet. Thanks for a great stay, first time we’ve been to the area, we’ll be back.

“Beautiful apartment everything we needed:just a few things that need replacing:the matress was poor: springs sticking up I suffer with a bad back:the kitchen table was wobbly:no bedside tables:lack of lamps in the lounge area:overall lovely place and we enjoyed our stay thankyou.”

“Brilliant location, great that it accepts dogs, could benefit from fences to keep dogs / children more secure but cannot complain.”

Great, peaceful location.

Debbie August 2023

“The apartment was clean .”

. the mattresses have springs sticking up which are uncomfortable and noisy. We were left with one J cloth and a tea towel .. in other self catering apartments there have been a welcome pack with milk and fresh juice and sachets of tea coffee and sugar and cleaning products in the cupboards. This has nothing we had to buy washing up liquid and bin bags and toilet rolls etc not even any spray cleaner for the worktops had been left. These wouldn’t cost a lot to be left for use. There wasnt a mirror in the shower room my husband had to shave using his phone camera. We had next doors dog wandering into our garden where we had a dog too. Little boundry fences would be good to keep pets safe. Little inexpensive touches would have made a world of difference.

“Really nice stay, great location, lovely presented.”

Just needs a bit more in the kitchen, sieve, baking tray.

Tracey July 2023

“Shower room mould on the ceiling, toilet seat in main bedroom broken easy to replace , very short on crockery.”

No lamps so have to have main lights on .Beds and pillows really need replacing not suitable for a good sleep . Kitchen table and chairs could also do with being replaced as table wobbles and chairs are a mismatch. Little things could make this apartment fantastic.

“On the first night there was a banging on the roof and on further investigation it was noticed that the guttering from the adjoining property had partly broken away from its mounting to the wall which left it suspended which in turn was banging against the roof of the Braid apartment ensuring we had no sleep that particular night.”

The wind was particularly bad that first night which didn't help matters. I rand the telephone number provided for the property owner and a young lad came to look and by the time we had come back to the property after our day out the issue was fixed. unfortunately some of the channels on the TV in the property didn't work which was probably due to the wind causing issues with the aerial or signal. this wasn't resolved during our stay which didn't bother us but thought i should mention it as your next guests may not be so obliging. i must also add that the young lad that did come down to the property to fix the guttering issue was very polite and courteous. Thank you for such a wonderful break in a great setting.

“The apartment was clean and tidy, but fairly basic.”

More suitable for people who are going on a golfing break to use as a base and eat out. The mattresses in both bedrooms need replacing as the springs have gone. The grass outside was cut on a regular basis, but the edges needed trimming to make it look tidier. It would have been handy to have a couple of bin liners,so we wouldn't have to buy some. Overall the apartment is suitable for a short break and within walking distance of Treaddur Bay,where there is plenty of places to eat out.

- Lorraine, June 2023
Suzanne June 2023

“2nd time in this property and it’s great for our needs.”

3 adults and one small dog. Always hot water and a large garden with benches to use. Laundry room is located in the property Which is helpful. Cost and comfy and clean. Only minor issue is the lack of crockery and glasses which we mentioned in the review last year but had not improved. Also the pans need replacing as the non stick is peeling which is not good. Such a minor and relatively inexpensive solution would really improve the facilities.

- Suzanne, June 2023
Justin February 2023

“Overall an excellent break away and the accomodation was ideal for us.”

We did take our dog with us and cleaned up after it, but there was a loose dog which visited on a daily basis and sometimes messed on the grass, so I just hope this isn't taken out on guests not clearing up after their own pets. Many thanks

- Justin, February 2023
Melanie September 2022

“Beds lovely & big, just a bit too hard for us.”

Could do with more crockery, Only 4 of each meant having to wash up or dish washer twice a day. Laundry room brill with washer & dryer. Overall very much enjoyed.

- Melanie, September 2022
Sara August 2022

“Location perfect but apartment didn’t feel very welcoming on arrival .”

.reminded me more of a hostel with basic facilities— bedroom floors were still sandy and chest of drawers were dusty and vacuum cleaner clogging up the wardrobe so you couldn’t hang clothes - as stated in previous feedback both toilet seats were loose and could cause an accident if the guest was elderly .. obviously this haszard has been ignored by the owners - basic equipment in the kitchen not even providing oven gloves and poorly stocked cupboards so you really had to eat out - the weather was superb so we spent our time outdoors enjoying the sunshine.

- Sara, August 2022
Rob July 2022

“Very nice stay, small mix up about the bedding arrangement but could be rectified easily.”

As small feedback would suggest privacy blinds for bedrooms as very close to other apartment entrances, rather than needing to keep blind closed. En-suite bath would also be great to have a mixer shower at next upgrade. Thanks

- Rob, July 2022
Graham June 2022

“This was a great location and a very comfortable apartment.”

There was ample designated parking but on busy days at the golf club it got used as an overflow carpark.

- Graham, June 2022
Suzanne June 2022

“Wonderful apartment and would stay here again.”

. Comfortable bedrooms with enough storage for a week away. Master would benefit from bed side tables. Always hot water and heating was good if required. Laundry room available with washer , dryer and ironing board, but no iron. Large lawns surrounded the property. Clean on arrival but did find a pair of socks in one room. And the freezer needs defrosting . No shaving sockets so take an adapter , Toilet seat remains unfixed. Only 2 rolls of toilet paper . Kitchen with sofa and a small dining table. Limited crockery and glasses if there are 4 people staying. We were called on the arrival day to be advised that we could arrive early which was welcomed. Ate at the Sea Shanty and White Eagle both of which I would highly recommend Really enjoyed our stay and would recommend A few minor improvements could be made as mentioned above and a bbq would be a good addition. A welcome pack would also be a nice touch

- Suzanne, June 2022
Victoria May 2022

“Plus - Nice apartments.”

Nice location Negatives - Both toilets seats still broken as per previous review. Not enough cooking dishes for 4 persons. No microwaveable dish, no large oven dish, no teapot. Need better cleaning, floors had big piles of fluffy dust behind doors etc .

- Victoria, May 2022
Stephen May 2022

“A lovely quiet stay at Braid apartment comfortable and clean, in a good location right on a golf club close to the All amenities, The only slight drawback was both the toilet seats were loose and unsafe in need of repairs.”

The steps up to the apartment are a little steep but this was mentioned in the description, we would recommend and go back in the future,

- Stephen, May 2022
Charles October 2021

“The property was very nice, clean and ready when we arrived, had everything we needed for us to enjoy our week away.”

I would suggest a hand rail up the external stairs to the property would be appropriate, and maybe an upgrade to the lighting on the external stairs and carpark area for the apartment. We went to the golf club for an evening meal twice, the food and service was fantastic! Overall would recommend this property, and would certainly be prepared to visit again in the future.

- Charles, October 2021

We have now installed a handrail. Thank you for the feedback Property Owner

“The apartment is in an ideal location.”

The onsite golf course has a lovely restaurant. The apartment was ready early and lovely and clean on arrival. The house keeper was exceptional asking us how we would like the beds etc before arrival and letting us know we could check in early. The apartment is well decorated and finished, all mod cons. Two bathrooms a real bonus in 2 bedroom apartment. My only criticism is a personal choice, the beds were a bit too firm for us, but that is an individual thing. Would definitely recommend and use again if returning to the beautiful island of Anglesey.

- Carol, July 2021
Karen June 2021

“The listing stated twin beds on request, we had to ask for a double.”

The lack of over bath shower in the en-suite bathroom was inconvenient for the couple in that room: 2 couples sharing the apartment need 2 showers. The bathroom had a small mirror hung for a tall person. Toilet seat broken in the en-suite requested a fix but I was told it was a ‘bad’ fit. Things to improve: Dressing table mirrors (see bathroom comment) more crockery (dishwasher not eco with only 4 of everything). Only 2 dining chairs. Wardrobe in the en-suite room was storage for the hoover/brushes etc limiting space. The beds were very comfortable and other facilities great. These comments are intended as positive feedback to improve it.

- Karen, June 2021
Suzanne June 2021

“Nice clean apartment, lovely furnishings, a great base for exploring Trearddur and the coastal path.”

Just a little feedback, the sink has a slight leak which may looking at and the apartment could do with a few more pans, glasses/ cups and plates (think they might have been broken in the past).

- Suzanne, June 2021
Carrie May 2021

“A lovely apartment.”

Super comfortable with everything you need for a pleasant stay.

Luke September 2020

“Ok, please ignore all the previous feedback on this premises as the owners have obviously taken heed of the advice and addressed all the improvements pointed out (ie the curtain over the front door etc).”

The property was spotlessly clean and tidy, the bed is a super king size and very comfortable. The property was warm and cosy and well equipped with everything you could need. The location was perfect for exploring the beauty that Anglesey has to offer ... we have stayed in several properties in Anglesey and this modern, newly decorated property ticked every box for us...10/10

- Luke, September 2020
Julie July 2020

“Our family holiday was so enjoyable, the location was perfect and apartment was realy well thought out and beautifully decorated and equipped,the only negative we had was with the first bed in the large bedroom which we thought the mattress was very soft and possibly worn which made for an uncomfortable sleep ,we did think that a curtain was needed by the front door to provide a bit more privacy when coming out of the bedrooms and bathroom and maybe a couple of hooks for hanging dressing gowns on back of bedroom/bathroom doors but these are just suggestions to make this wonderful property even better.”

The views were stunning and the outside space was fab too and very well maintained. We will definately be back - Fabulous and a credit to The Golf Club . Thank you.

“A lovely modern apartment, good parking easy to find .”

The bedrooms were lovely. Huge comfy beds, luxury bed linen , and nice shower room and bathroom, plus very warm and cosy. It is by the golf club and a longish walk to the beautiful beach, fine for us dog walkers but others need to be aware. The only ,inor grumble was the lack of crockery and cutlery. And The upcycled furniture seemed out of place, the table wobbled, a chair didn’t match and the drawers kept sticking! But we had a lovely week and we’re very comfortable.

“The accommodation was broadly what I expected.”

The big issue was cleanliness the fridge, one of the toilets, the shower and the floors were not clean. There were black hairs everywhere which I assume came off a person as many of them were very long. I find it impossible to believe the floors were even brushed and washed. I'm not a clean freak but if you walked bare foot you could feel the dirt under your feet. No recycling. Small thing but would be good if accommodations were numbered so you don't have to try the code at each door.

- Aly, November 2019

“We had a lovely time with our furry friend in Braid cottage.”

It is a really clean and a cosy house. The steps up to the front door could be difficult for some people. The decor is lovely and fresh, I would recommend a blind on the front door and a shower over the bath in the en-suite. It’s in a quiet location right on the golf course and easy to get to most places and shops not far away. A lovely stay.

- Margaret, October 2019
Lynn October 2019

“Very dark at night in car park and round and up to the apartment.”

None of the apartments had numbers on them. The details of address and how to get there did not show any apartment number. We succeeded on opening the key box at the fourth apartment. Security light outside the apartment when it did come on, only stayed on for a few seconds. The apartment was very clean and new, but I felt very isolated.

- Lynn, October 2019
Jason September 2019

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

Facilities were perfect ,clean and modern. The only recommendation would be a blind on the glass front door for privacy when leaving the bathroom or bedrooms. Overall a lovely stay.
