• "Lovely cottage."

  Cosy, comfy, needs some maintenance attention at the end of the season. Nothing derogatory but coat of paint in rooms to freshen, carpets cleaned etc.. bedding needs updating. Very good location. Down stairs shower replaced with new on the first day. We’ve stayed here before and we would again. The garden needs a bit of maintenance to make it more inviting. On the whole we would recommend due to size and location. Sue the housekeeper couldn’t do enough for us to make sure all was ready in time to arrive. Thanks Sue. We will be back next year

• "The cottage was lovely, very clean , comfortable and well stocked with everything you could want."

  There was plenty of room both upstairs and down. The garden was sunny and pleasant. It was so good to be close to the beach and to all the facilities in Benlech too. The drive was tight to park a large car - but we managed . If the vegetation were cut back a bit more it would help . All in all it was a lovely week and I would certainly book again.

  We are really glad that you enjoyed your stay in The Nook, that every think that you needed was on hand and the property was spacious. We agree that the position of The Nook is excellent with only s short walk to the beach. We are sorry about the fact that you found it difficult to park you car, this has now been remedied and the plants/bushes cut back. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Property Owner

• "Would be a lovely cottage if only cleanliness issues were addressed, living room carpet was very stained, kitchen needs a good clean and downstairs bathroom should be demolished, bedding clean but very old and worn, comfy beds, but stairs are so steep they are not good for elderly people."

  Thank you for your suggestions, but I have to say that we feel very disappointed in some of your comments. We are also confused as this does not seem to tally with the review you put in our visitor’s book “Lovely cottage, great stay, plenty of room and comfy beds”. The idea that the stairs are too steep is not something we can resolve and to suggest that we should demolish the downstairs bathroom is in our view, unwarranted. Thank you for pointing out the problems with the bedding and the carpet stains. We have this year removed the carpet from the hall and replaced it with a laminate floor to try and overcome this issue. We regularly renew the bedding but we will check these again, and we have arranged to clean the carpet which of course gets a lot of wear at this time of year from regular guests and their pets.

• "Great location."

  A lovely spacious property which is very well equipped. We were a party of three . We didn't use the dinning room or smaller sitting room as there is a good size kitchen to eat in and the larger sitting room was a really good size. To make it a 5star review. Can I suggest some new duvet covers. Whilst the bedding was clean it's very tired/old and thin, with what looked like makeup stains on one. Poppers on duvet cover have worn down so much there was nothing to pop together. Standard lamp in sitting room damaged not able to use. We were

• "Very well situated property in Benllech."

  Good size kitchen and fridge freezer. Lots of living space downstairs. Access for parking is quite tight - especially for larger cars. Property is a little tired throughout - needs bits of care in all rooms - skirting, grouting, kitchen cupboard doors, kitchen table cloth etc. Shower in downstairs toilet is in a very cold extension - drafts into kitchen too - could do with a draft excluder. No functional outside lights. Surprised to find no form of welcome pack and no fuel for even a starter fire. Bedroom windows have blinds which let a lot of light in - curtains could be considered.

  Thank you for your comments. Since your visit we have had the decorators in as we were aware that some rooms looked tired. We are glad that you liked the position, space downstairs and the facilities at The Nook. We have had the hedge cut back at the front to increase the space on the driveway. The hallway is being laminated in January to replace the carpet. Property Owner

• "What a beautiful property."

  Excellently placed for the local shops and the beach which was lovely, with dogs being allowed on one oart of it. Clean and comfort with plenty of space with a well equipped kitchen. Great good sized garden for the dogs. Owner has thought of almost everything. We had a wonderful week regarding the weather and maybe would have benefitted from a couple of fans as some of the rooms got really warm. This is the only thing that we could find to give feedback for. We loved it that much that we've already booked for next year. Could highly recommend The Nook to stay.

• "Fabulous property in perfect location for all amenities and the beach."

  Deceptively spacious and very well equipped. Garden very secure for our two dogs and although is in the centre of the town it is in a quiet little cul-de-sac of only 4 properties so no vehicle/foot traffic and is not overlooked. Bedrooms are large and with comfortable beds. Apart from cozy lounge there is a large dining room and a second snug, neither of which we used since we ate in the kitchen diner. The beach, is only a seven minute walk down the hill but you need to keep an eye on the tide times to get maximum benefit of the expansive sands. The beach is really sheltered from the wind and is a social dog walkers paradise with numerous other like minded and friendly owners. Although the beach access is slightly restricted for dogs in the busy months, it only applies to a small section of the beach. The Benllech pub is a welcome lunch stop on the way back from the beach offering a good and varied menu. Overall we had a superbly relaxing week and will definitely return to this property again.

  Thanks so much for your kind words. We are glad that you had such a great holiday. We look forward to staying in The Nook again Property Owner

• "Only real problem was the washing machine wasn't working."

  One of my dogs had vomited on a throw on the way there and I really needed to wash it.Because the washing machine was not working it ultimately meant we had to take it home a week later to clean it, by which time it was growing its own life form. We bought fuses and changed the one in the plug but there was no 'thank you for trying' from the owners. I was disappointed with this, it tainted my whole view of the property and the attitude of the owners. Other than this, everything was good. The garden is very very well enclosed with high fences all around. I always worry one of my dogs will get out (she's a ninja) but it is very secure. I'd have liked it if I could have closed the internal doors properly, to stop dogs going in to rooms we weren't using, but most of them would only push to and there was no catch to close them. I didn't want my dogs to go in and lie on the beds, purely because i didn't want to create more work/laundry for the owners. How fabulous to have a Nespresso machine! In fact the amount of cooking gadgets provided was wonderful.I Overall we really enjoyed our stay we would return, and would recommend to others.

  We are really glad to hear that you would return to the Nook, and enjoyed your stay. We will look at the door catches and try to ensure that the doors do stay closed. We were grateful that you allowed the washing repair man access to the property so that the issue could be addressed on his first available day. The washing machine has now be replace and we are sorry that it was not working when you stayed at The Nook. Thank you for trying to fix the washing machine yourselves. Property Owner

  It is a gorgeous property, very clean and the owners have thought of everything. I think it’s the first time I have stayed anywhere when there hasn’t been anything I’ve not been able to find. There was even enough coat hangers and hooks on bathroom and bedroom doors! The garden is also wonderful with plenty of seating and a gorgeous view. Our dog absolutely loved it as did we and we were lucky enough to have the weather to be able to enjoy it. The bakery at the top of the street is amazing and very reasonably priced but we all left half a stone heavier, but so worth it. We will definitely return.

  This week the weather was fantastic and we spent the evenings sitting in the garden or at the front enjoying views of the sea. The addition of the decking area and trimming back of the bushes has created a lovely area and we had several meals outside.

• "This is our second stay at The Nook the only property we have stayed in that we have ever returned to."

  The property is spacious and airy with beautiful views. It is ideally situated for everything you need gorgeous beach, several places to eat, friendly pub and supermarket all within very easy reach. I have to say the bed is probably the comfiest bed I have ever slept in - personal taste I know but worth mentioning. During our stay the weather was not too kind to us and we had a couple of wet days which cannot be helped but we had another lovely stay and have already discussed returning! I would say that the property would greatly benefit from a smart tv in the lounge. I know a lot of people don’t watch tv on holiday but we have an older dog who just wanted to sleep after a day out so we did not venture out too much in the evenings. I ended up watching tv on my iPad. We had some very heavy rain and wind during our stay and noticed some damp walls on the kitchen and by the bay window in the lounge. This did not affect our stay just an observation as we saw some work had been done to sort out the flaky paint in both the kitchen and utility room. Overall I would highly recommend The Nook in a heartbeat to anyone considering a stay in Anglesey. The addition of the decking is great and just adds to the amazing views - just a shame the weather did not give us the opportunity to take full advantage of using it!

  Thank for your comments, and we are very glad that you enjoyed your stay, sorry about the weather, I will look into the possibility of having a Smart TV for next season, and act on the other comments that you have made. I am glad that you find the new decking adds to the property and allows you to see the amazing views more easily Property Owner

  The layout worked very well for us, having two separate lounges was a bonus as our 20 year old son came with us, which meant he had his own space and could choose what he wanted to watch on TV. The garden was a real suntrap and we enjoyed spending time on the decking enjoying the view of the sea and watching the sun go down with a glass of wine. Location perfect close to all the amenities and beach. Garden was perfect for our two labradors, only item which would have been nice would have been a washing line. There was an airer but difficult to hang properly. However, did not spoil the wonderful time we had there. Highly recommend.

  Accommodation was brilliant, absolutely spotless. There was everything we needed and more. The rooms were far larger than we imagined especially the bedrooms. The garden was enclosed which was excellent for our dog. Five minute walk to a beautiful beach, sea views from the bungalow and generally a great location. We also visited other lovely beaches in Anglesey as well as several castles. Ate out locally once or twice and plenty of good take aways in the local vicinity. There were, though, excellent facilities provided for us to cook ourselves and a beautiful patisserie two minutes walk away. The only thing missing was a BBQ. Slight smell of damp in one lounge and there appeared to be some signs of damp alongside one wall of the property but this was not an issue. We would certainly recommend The Nook and hope to book a return visit.
