  • "This was a fabulous location and a lovely spacious cottage."

    The only issue we had was the central heating kept going off but it was quickly reset by the owner once informed. The log burner was a challenge and didn't seem to stay lit for longer than 15 minutes unfortunately, but when it was roaring it added a nice cosy feel to the living room.

  • "We had a good stay but had some issues."

    No welcome basket. No fire companion set. Oven and grill broke down on the first morning. This was not rectified until around 7.30pm that evening. The yale lock on the front door needs fixing. We nearly got locked in on the last morning. It took a lot of jiggling to finally open it. We enjoyed the location and had a good stay but there are definately things that could be improved.

    We are sorry you feel you experienced a few problems whilst staying at Friars. We do not offer a welcome pack from October to March as we leave a starter pack of logs, kindling and fire lighters which at that time of the year is more beneficial. As soon as you notified the office on your second day that the grill worked the first day but not the second. We arranged for a tradesman to visit and fix the problem which he did by 6.15pm that day. This we know as he sent a photo to show all working and job complete. The Yale lock on the front door is a dead lock fitting and should you accidentally turn it the wrong way it won't budge. You have to turn it all the way back the opposite way and then turn to open the lock. We have since had this checked out and assured it is working correctly. I hope this helps to explain the situation and we are constantly as owners back and to Friars to ensure the standard is kept. It's what we would expect. Thank you for your feedback.

  • "Beautiful cottage!"

    Plenty of room for children, adults and dogs. Very deceptive from the outside as looks tiny but is really spacious. The cottage has tons of character and was a great base for use to explore the area. Great to have the washer/dryer facilities. The two bathrooms were also much appreciated. Lovely walks locally, the beach approximately 15/20 minutes away was a massive hit with the kids. The only small inconvenience was the yale lock on the front door was a little tricky and did stick a couple of times. We had a great time at the friars and would highly recommend.

    Many Thanks for your feedback. The Yale lock is a safety lock and if it has not been fully released, i.e.turned all the way round past the opening segment it is tricky to use. We will have our locksmith check the lock. Very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Friars and yes it is deceiving small on the outside but large and open once your inside. Hope to see you again. Thankyou Property Owner

  • "On arrival,Friars appears to be a small cottage but inside it is actually spacious and we loved the way the bedrooms were separated."

    The living room is lovely with its enormous fireplace, crog loft and stable door. Everything in the house is of the highest quality and the totally enclosed garden is an added bonus if you have dogs. We loved the occasional planes taking off or landing and rushed to the windows to watch them but they did not disturb us at all. My friend from Italy who was with me walked along the beach to Rhosneigr every morning before 7 o'clock and revelled in the solitude she found there. Just two little "niggles" which are really not important. It would have been lovely to have had the heated towel rails working as we could not really put expensive waterproof anoraks into the tumble dryer on the two days when we had torrential rain and I personally (aged 80) would have appreciated a mat in the shower as I was afraid of slipping. I can thoroughly recommend Friars to anyone who wants a well placed and charming base from which to discover my favourite island.

    Hi Mary, Many thanks for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed the Friars experience. As you now know the towel rails in the bathrooms operate from the main heating system and are operational when the temperature on the boiler hits a certain level. We agree with your friend, the Beach we have access to is a secret gem and not used by many people. We kind of like it that way. The stretch of unspoilt beach from Cymyran to Rhosneigr is a fantastic walk, stroll or run. Even better watch the best sunsets on the island with an evening glass of fizz. Property Owner

  • "A relaxing week."

    Plenty of space. Well stocked with crockery, cutlery and glassware. In fact, everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Especially liked the separation of the bedrooms and bathrooms on either side of the dining room. Gave both couples a nice feeling of privacy.

    So pleased you enjoyed Friars. It is our little gem. Hope to see you again Property Owner

    Fantastic setting and a property that accommodated my parents (one of which is in a wheelchair) coupled with the dog friendly status allowed for us all to have a lovely short break in a beautiful part of the UK.

  • "What a wonderful cottage."

    Loved the location; the beach was perfect for the dogs and the closeness of RAF Valley with the planes was a unique and enthralling experience. The gardens are great for dogs and soaking up some lovely late autumn sunshine. The cottage itself is beautifully presented, lots of fantastic touches, well equipped kitchen, comfy bedrooms, warm, plenty of hot water and our favourite for the October break..........the wood burner. Would highly recommend Friars to anyone considering Anglesey and we definitely hope to be back soon. A wonderful, warm and inviting holiday cottage. Many thanks Steve and Caroline.

    A pleasure to host Steve and Caroline and so pleased you enjoyed all Friars has to offer and yes the wood burner is special for those cosy nights in. Thank you also for leaving Friars in a tidy and clean state. This was much appreciate by the housekeeper. Look forward to welcoming you back again Property Owner

  • "We loved our stay at Friars!"

    The cottage was beautiful, very comfy and well-equipped, and in a fantastic location just a short drive from so many lovely places. The garden is very safe and secure for dogs; a real sun-trap too, and great for watching the planes from RAF Valley. These - although quite loud at times - didn’t disturb us at all and weren’t nearly as frequent as we had thought they might be! We would definitely love to come back to Friars very soon.

    So pleased you enjoyed your stay at Friars and we look forward to greeting you soon . Miller Family Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage, spacious and well furnished."

    Beds very comfortable with good quality bedding. Excellent fully enclosed rear garden, quite a sun trap! Nice garden table and chairs provided at the back along with a more rustic table and chairs in the enclosed front garden, but great sitting there to watch the planes coming/going at RAF Valley... very noisy but only day time (and not that frequent) and not at the weekend. Definitely recommend the cottage

    It was also very well equipped. Brilliant outside area and great situation ...loved watching the planes, and lovely walks available both to the surrounding beaches and through the nature reserve. Nicely off the beaten track, but near enough to facilities when required. Nicely situated for getting to other places on Anglesey.

  • "Beautiful accommodation in a lovely part of Anglesey."

    The cottage was very well equipped, a real home from home. Situated near the airfield was a bonus as the family loved watching the planes flying over. The nearby beach was great for the children and due to its location was not too busy. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

    We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Friars. We look forward to seeing you again. Thankyou The Miller Family Property Owner
