“We were 3 couples …so ample space.”

It’s a lovely property but it’s a shame that the fixtures are of a high spec eg kitchen, bathrooms , lots of wardrobe space and wooden floors plus most furniture…..but that the simple finer points were disappointing. The curtains , for example , were thin and cheap and ours were stained. One downstairs bedroom had no curtains and the vertical blinds were broken- they put a throw over the window at night. The living room had curtain poles but no curtains….not very cosy for November ...

It’s a lovely property but it’s a shame that the fixtures are of a high spec eg kitchen, bathrooms , lots of wardrobe space and wooden floors plus most furniture…..but that the simple finer points were disappointing.

The living room had curtain poles but no curtains….not very cosy for November. The central heating was great but the en-suite bathroom had damp and needed some TLC. My biggest gripe was the floors… I really don’t think they had been properly cleaned…only swept. Those of us without slippers had filthy feet/ socks within a couple of hours. Like I said initially, a gorgeous property in a gorgeous location….it just needs some simple extra touches to improve the spec and then receive better feedback. We would book again…but only if some of these points were addressed.

“Hi , As you should know from email before our stay I was concerned about property after reading previous review .”

As it turned out I was right to be !!!! Worst property we have stayed In this area. Bed obviously not changed, found tweezers under bottom sheet . Roasting tins and oven trays unusable, absolutely filthy . Have photos of these. Nowelcome pack on arrival , not even a pint of milk , every previous property we have recieved such . In bathroom toilet roll holder hanging off wall , white powder all around skirting board why ???? No way was this property worth what was charged for 3nights £647 . Feel very let down . If you check up you will see we have stayed in many of your properties. Won’t be using you again if this is the standard. We are pensioners and had taken family for a few days , don’t like throwing money away . Look forward to you’re reply Ann Lytle

“As there was three groups of us, we wanted three bathrooms.”

The upstairs bathroom was unusable as water would drip through the front downstairs bedroom ceiling. The rear garden is overgrown and untidy, definitely not what the pictures show. The bedding certainly wasn't the cleanest we've ever encountered. Only positive was the beach was just over the road.

- Susan, September 2024

“We had a lovely family holiday.”

The location is great well stocked shop next door selling fresh sea food , Lobster, crabs mussels . Beach is literally just across the road and it is a very safe sandy bay for kids. Fantastic restaurant across the road the Sea Shanty booking recommended.. they also have an amazing ice cream parlour. It’s a great place for coastal path walks and is near to South stack bird sanctuary. The accommodation was good with three double bedrooms 3 bathrooms and two single rooms upstairs. An enclosed garden great for the kids and a dog too . Highly recommended

“This was the second time we have been to Coed Ilai.”

The location of the house suits us perfectly, so close to the beach, that even with wet, stormy weather we could run back to the warm quickly. The house is great, clean and comfortable, and an enclosed garden is a plus for kids and dogs. The steep steps into the bathrooms are something to be aware of, but are manageable even with small children and an elderley grandparent. We throughly enjoyed our time, and I'm sure we'll be back again

Carol March 2024

“We have just returned from our first stay at this property.”

We were welcomed on arrival by Ken the owner who gave us a tour around the house. Very friendly and welcoming. There was milk and orange juice in the fridge for us to use and a selection of breakfast cereals, jams, tea, coffee and sugar. The house is very spacious and clean. The beds were really comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. There is a utility room which leads out to a secure, enclosed garden which was great for the dogs. You can come and go via the front or back door, we found the back door which leads into the utility room really useful when returning with wet dogs! The house is perfectly situated over the road from the beach and shops. There are so many walks you can do around the island from the house. We would highly recommend this property and would visit again.

Elaine March 2024

“Had a wonderful short break at Coed Llai.”

The house is a credit to the owners, very clean, modern and comfortable. Ken, the owner, is very helpful and friendly. The house is large enough to accommodate a family with children and dogs are welcome too. The garden is safe and enclosed and there is plenty of room for several cars to park in the driveway. I cannot wait to return for another holiday later in the year.

“Excellent accommodation, comfortable tasteful and good quality furnishings.”

Location superb just over the road from the beach. Loved the underfloor heating in kitchen and bathroom ! Overall first class.

“Really nice property, brilliant location, warm welcome from Ken.”

All good

Ruth November 2023

“The cottage was equipped with all necessary equipment.”

The cottage could do with a deep clean. There is no heating in the kichen or 2 ground floor bathrooms, maybe not a problem in the summer but not pleasant in the winter. I noticed someone had fed back in April about the requirement of hand rails to groundfloor bathrooms given there are steps down but obviously not considered a necessity. On the whole we had a pleasant stay and the beach and nearby facilities, cafe, spa shop etc were very useful, so good location. The lack of heating in rear of the property gave lower rating.

- Ruth, November 2023
Jackie November 2023

“Great cottage, had a few hiccups but they were promptly resolved by the lovely Ken.”

Fabulous location, 1 minute walk to the beach, too many places to eat - Sea Shanty is amazing. Very comfy beds and plenty of storage. Would definitely go again

- Jackie, November 2023
Sheila November 2023

“The owner Ken was very friendly and welcomed us on arrival and left welcome gifts for us.”

Margret July 2023

“The house was very comfortable and very well equipped.”

My family and I had a lovely holiday there. I twas so well situated just across from the sea and the restaurants around were great. my family enjoyed the cayaking which was based next door as was a covenient Spar shop. We had a great holiday.

- Margret, July 2023
Brian July 2023

“Great location good car parking for three cars.”

The beds weren’t very comfortable the whole place was a bit small for seven people,also the bathrooms were very slippery.On the whole I think it was overpriced

- Brian, July 2023
Anne June 2023

“Had a lovely holiday.”

Location excellent. Great rooms upstairs for children. Bathrooms downstairs not ideal because of steps and a real slipping hazard. Daughter in law fell and hurt her self in the shower. Was very worried for pregnant daughter in the bathroom luckily she was ok. Owner very friendly and helpful.

- Anne, June 2023
David June 2023

“Lovely holiday”

Norman April 2023

“We had a wonderful weeks holiday for my wifes birthday.”

it’s a great property in a fantastic location hopefully we will be able to return in the future. Loved it

- Norman, April 2023
Andrew April 2023

“Absolutely loved this property for it location and perfect for a large family.”

My only concern is the lack of hand rails for the older members of the family, I had a chat with the owner ( Ken ) who was only to willing to look into it and address the issue. My parents are near in their 90’s and they really struggled with the steps inside and outside the property, in fact my father actually tripped going up the steps. For this reason and this reason only we unfortunately will not be able to return. To sum up, fantastic house in a fantastic location but not suitable for older people and definitely not disabled.

- Andrew, April 2023
Helen February 2023

“Great place to stay , close to everything you need , beach , shop , cafe and bar with all with lovely friendly people.”

The accommodation was great , especially if you have children , with 2 rooms upstairs catering for their needs . Will definitely keep this on our places to go again list .

- Helen, February 2023
Rita December 2022

“A very nice property.”

The owner was very helpful We all enjoyed our stay.

- Rita, December 2022
Anne October 2022

“Fantastic location and a lovely house.”

Much bigger than expected. 3 very comfortable downstairs bedrooms and two single rooms upstairs... ideal for teenager escaping from family hilarity!! 2 minutes across the road to the beach, ideal for children and dogs. Sea Shanty opposite is great for food (book a table) and amazing ice cream, including 4 flavours of Vegan. Would definitely book again.

- Anne, October 2022
Jo October 2022

“Amazing property, right by the beach and amenities.”

Owner fantastic and willing to please. Only draw back, grab rails in bathrooms and utility please. Steps down to these rooms are steep and if the floors are wet they can be treacherous. Otherwise, superb!

- Jo, October 2022
Eric October 2022

“The house was very well appointed and much thought had been given to the detail of the decor.”

The gas fire didn't work but the owner tried to get it fixed but, unfortunately, was able to do so; however, the central heating was excellent. The ensuite bathroom seemed to have a leak under the floor and was permanently wet, but the other ground floor bathroom was excellent. It was excellent for our dogs as the back garden was completely enclosed and had a substantial fence. We had a very pleasant holiday in comfortable accommodation.

- Eric, October 2022
John September 2022

“Very comfortable property with good facilities.”

Owners very friendly and on hand if needed. Location excellent for enjoying Trearddur Bay.

- John, September 2022
Martin August 2022

“Very comfortable with plenty of space,a good sized patio and well stocked kitchen.”

It was perfect for the lovely beach across the road. The glass table in the kitchen had extension leaves which were not very stable. There is definitely a need for some small tables on the patio as there is plenty of seating but nowhere to put plates and glasses if eating outside. otherwise it ticked the other boxes and we would certainly recommend this house.

- Martin, August 2022
Mike August 2022

“Brilliant location.”

Really nice host. Fabulous family holiday.

- Mike, August 2022
Alwyn July 2022

“Fantastic location only 2 mins walk from the beach, however the house was rather tired.”

The floors need re treating and the lounge sofas had legs at odd angles which was worrying every time someone sat down. Having read previous reviews I was aware of the damp problem in the en-suite bedroom but I was surprised that no attempt had been made to clean it and re paint. There was also a horrible smell in the upstairs bathroom so much so that the children refused to use it despite having the window open throughout our stay. The cushions for the garden furniture were again very tired looking and in need of a good clean The kitchen was well stocked although it would be a very tight squeeze to fit eight people around the table. The bedrooms were all a good size and nicely decorated. Parking outside the property was an advantage. All in all we all agreed that the property rental was overpriced.

- Alwyn, July 2022
Marcus April 2022

“We had a amazing time staying in your cottage.”

We all felt so welcome by Ken and all the staff at the spa shop. The cottage is very well equipped and modern, would recommend to others. It is situated in a prime location to walk to the beech or pop into the sea shanty cafe

- Marcus, April 2022

Thanks, look forward to seeing you again soon Property Owner

Janet March 2022

“We were a party of 4 couples and 1 dog, the bungalow was perfect.”

The main beach was across the road along with a lovely bar and restaurant. Our host was very warm and friendly. There was a welcome pack with lots of nice treats. We would definitely recommend Coed Llai and we hope to return in the near future.

- Janet, March 2022

Thanks Hope to see again Property Owner
Vincent February 2022

“I wish we could have stayed longer!”

Simon November 2021

“This is a beautiful holiday home.”

The standard of the fixtures and fittings was very high and the decor pleasing to the eye. It had everything we needed for our mini break and it was an added bonus to have the owner close at hand (next door!) to help us out with any minor issues. Trearddur Bay itself is beautiful and the cottage has a the huge advantage of being only footsteps from the beach and with shops and a fantastic cafe/ bar equally near. Thank you for our lovely stay (and for the welcome pack goodies too!) - we will definitely be recommending this property to friends and family.

- Simon, November 2021
Sharon November 2021

“A fabulous breakaway for us.”

Excellent location, restaurant over the road, well stocked Spar next door, comfy beds and pillows plus kitchen utensils galore! Thanks for a cracking holiday

- Sharon, November 2021
Pauline September 2021

“The bungalow is in a fabulous location.”

It’s quiet, spar Nextdoor, cafe/ bar across the road, and best of all 2 minutes from the sea. We had everything we needed. Being the end of the season there are always a few things that aren’t working, ie the outside light at the back.

- Pauline, September 2021
Victor July 2021

“Excellent location across the road from the Sea Shanty Cafe, and the beach.”

Very well equipped and comfortable. Plenty of seating & sun loungers in the sunny enclosed private garden where the dog could play safely. Our 2 grandchildren enjoyed having separate rooms upstairs, 1 with a tv/games/videos, and having their own bathroom. Both bathrooms downstairs had 2 steps down to reach toilet & shower/bath - not good for anyone with mobility issues. Similarly there were 2 steps down to utility room and further 3 steps down to access the garden. Host Ken, who lives next door, was very friendly & helpful but admitted that there was a problem with damp penetrating the walls in the lounge and other ground floor rooms due to solid wall construction.

- Victor, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The property is stone and so can get the occasional cold area. This is monitored and remedied with mildew remover/bleach/repaint. The advert does mention to take care with internal steps with appropriate signage at the property, but we will ask for the advert to clarify the location of the steps the steps around the property.
