"A cosy, comfortable stay with lovely, friendly owners in hand if needed."
The accommodation was clean, well equipped and to a high standard. The surrounding gardens and outdoor areas would be lovely in the summer. We were particularly interested in the enclosed dog exercising field on site , but it was temporarily unavailable. The local beaches were great. Thanks to the owners for their generous welcome pack and all they did to make our Christmas so special.

"Fantastic place and so tranquil."
Just what we needed. Shower was amazing and the bed was really comfy. Everything we needed was available, including some extras such as cool block and ice cube tray.
Only thing missing was a footstool as it would have been great to put our feet up after a long day of walking.
So glad you appreciate the cottage, good idea about foot stools have orderd some

"We would definitely recommend The Shippon - it was well equipped, beautifully presented and in a perfect position for exploring all parts of the island."
Our 17 year old loved having the mezzanine level to himself and the enclosed garden was brilliant for our 2 big bears! We also loved the grounds and being able to let the dogs off in the doggy field, wander round the orchard and stroke the horses. Hayden and Claire couldn’t have been more welcoming and helpful - thanks for making our stay so lovely.
Just love your 2 big fluffy dogs. Lovely to meet you all.

"We have been to the cottages before with the previous owners where the large fields were used for the dog exercising area."
However this time the only dog exercising area is a small fenced off area previous used for chickens. So we were a little disappointed that the larger fields weren't available however the the cottage, location and friendliness of the owners is great and would recommend. May be clearly state on the listing the dog exercising area is small.
Presuming that fields would be available due to previous owners is no reflection on us. It is not mentioned in Sykes advertising that large land would be sacrifice for the odd customer. There is a large secure dog run, small individual gardens, a top orchard, we are surrounded by footpaths and beaches.

"The Shippon is in a fabulous location."
Peaceful with pretty gardens and great views. Easy to reach many beaches around Anglesey.
However, we felt the cottage lacked comfort in the lounge with just one small sofa and a tub chair and no coffee table. The mezzanine room had more furniture than the lounge did.
Also, absolutely no reading material or maps which we are used to finding in holiday cottages.
Glad you enjoyed. Unfortunately due to the shippon being a converted farm building, the parameters of the cottages does not allow room to safely put another sofa. There is seating for 5 and an extra bed in the cottage. We do potray this in the pictures so that you know exactly what you are booking.
Reading material since covid have been removed for hygiene reasons, everyone has different reading taste and all tourist attractions are on the internet.

"A great little cottage, very well presented with all of the facilities that we needed."
Our Son particularly liked the mezzanine bedroom.
Like the rest of Anglesey the cottage and area are both very dog friendly, with an enclosed patio area, and a communal secure area where we could let her off the lead.
The owners left us to it during our stay, but when we did run into them they were extremely friendly and welcoming.

"This was a holiday to give our two grandchildren their first taste of Wales."
My wife and I usually stay in hotels so self-catering was something different. We definitely made the right choice by using Sykes to find this hidden gem in the centre of Anglesey which, while accessed via a chain of country lanes, could not have been more convenient for exploring the island and other parts of North Wales. The owners are to be congratulated for the high standards they maintain both inside the property and in the grounds outside. We would not hesitate to recommend No 4 The Shippon to others.

"I have enjoyed my stay at the shippon."
There were several light bulbs gone , the reading lamp, the light over the mirror, plus a spot light in bathroom too, The outside light didn't come on either .The extractor fan in the bathroom needed cleaning and so too the door and generally a good wipe down it got very steamy.
I was upstairs and could have done with a mirror so I could dry my hair , had to use my friends mirror in her room ?
On the plus side the kitchen was well equipped and we cooked several times .
The Beds were comfy and clean lovely white towels , TV was good and lounge area comfy, patio was useful , needs another sun chair to provide more comfort .my dog was happy and the facilities for toileting him was good .
we didnt use the heating , as it was warm enough. Very happy to go again , family were friendly and helpful .
Thanks for your feedback. We changed the light bulb that went off during your stay after you left, if you had sent a text we would have changed the bulbs. the outside light were newly installed and worked perfectly. You just had to step out into the sensor for it to light up. Unfortunately due to the roof shape upstairs there is no space for a wall mirror. But have now put a small one in the drawr for ladies who did not want to use the 2 downstairs. Please in future inform owners of any stains on bedding so that we can try and rescue them with stain removal prior washing. Please read the information leaflet provided regarding key instructions.
