“Fabulous house with the wow factor.”

Fabulous house with the wow factor. No expense has been spared with the interior design. Our family and dog had a relaxing perfect holiday, the owners of the property are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend this holiday home Anglesey is a perfect location for a relaxing picturesque holiday.

“This was beautiful accomendation ...”

This was beautiful accomendation with everything and more provided. The location was stunning but we were dissapointed that there was very very little to do. The only thing regarding the house was the sweet floorboards in the blue bedroom and the back foot sticking. I think the little blue hut in the garden could be made into a lovely shower and drying room for when you get out of the hot tub. The house is really like home to home with everything you could possibly need. We really loved the house and decor and I could quite easily live there.

“The cottage was perfect, lovely ...”

The cottage was perfect, lovely decor and extremely spacious. The owner has thought of everything to make your stay first class. The hot tub is best we have ever used! The bay is a lovely area, very friendly, with lots of walking and days out around.

“This holiday house was up there ...”

This holiday house was up there with the best. The location was superb, just a short walk to the village and the beach. From the beach you could access the stunning countryside which was fabulous for our dogs. Lovely countryside walks could be had from even closer. We had the usual Tesco delivery but the shop in Cemaes sells pretty much all you need and the obligatory holiday visit to the Chip Shop was well worth it! The house was beautiful and the best equipped that we have stayed in (and we've stayed in quite a few!). The front area had recently been flagged and was secure for our dogs, only overlooked slightly from the front door of the house next door so no problems there at all. We certainly made the most of the Hot Tub. The kitchen was the best stocked I've been in and as we like to cook as a family the abundance of pans etc etc etc made that a pleasure rather than having to juggle everything. We even used some of the herbs growing in a pot. The downstairs bathroom was great as my mum is elderly so once downstairs in the morning she didn't need to trot up and down the stairs throughout the day ;) Bedrooms were spacious and well equipped with plenty of drawers and hanging space. Lots of towels too. It was absolutely spotless when we arrived and we met one of the owners who was lovely and friendly. If this house suits your requirements then I would highly recommend, I can't really say any more other than SUPERB. We will certainly be back for another visit.

“On arriving at the property we was ...”

On arriving at the property we was surprised at the size of it inside and out.,we couldn't have wished for anything better.We had a couple of days when the weather wasn't fit enough to go out,but the accommodation was so comfortable it didn't bother us staying in those days.There was a few things waiting to be finished,but it never interfered with our holiday.,the guys that own it could not have been nicer to my daughter and myself,and made us so welcome. The place it self is not a beach holiday resort, it is for a walking holiday if you don't want to use the car, lovely and quiet,plenty of places to see by car. We would recommend and definitely go again.

“The house was furnished to an ...”

The house was furnished to an extremely high spec and the kitchen had all you needed and more! Loved having 2 bathrooms, made it much easier. Hot tub was fantastic, our only concern as dog owners was the area wasn't enclosed but just a quick call to the owner and a temporary one was arranged! We would certainly look to return here and would recommend Woburn hotel to eat rather than the Stag pub. Thank you for a great holiday!

- Mrs Gardner, March 2018

Great property, well furnished, very comfortable, beds very comfy. All the appliances and bits you need and more. A great base for a beautiful part of the world. Good interaction and communication with the owner and Sykes.

“Had an excellent week in spacious, ...”

Had an excellent week in spacious, comfortable and relaxing surroundings with the bonus of the hot tub. Being able to have the dogs with us made all the difference with plenty of great places for them to walk. Thanks to Dave who sorted out a minor problem efficiently and quickly.

“Lovely property, ideally placed for ...”

Lovely property, ideally placed for dog walking on the coast. Hot tub is a fantastic touch and the house was extremely homely and lacked for nothing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this coastal property. The owner was on hand to advise us and help us if required, a very nice and approachable chappie indeed. We will be back with Alan the dog.

“Donna and adrian”

Well where do I start? I can honestly say everything was perfect from start to finish! Our hosts DJ and Lee had truly thought of everything to ensure that we had an amazing stay, from making sure that the cottage was all “Christmassy” to a beautiful Christmas hamper , nothing way too much trouble. The cottage also has a beautiful massive hot tub. The local pub is really friendly and the beach is lovely we really didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return in April thank you both for helping us make some amazing family memories, I would highly recommend this cottage along with the hosts other cottage next door “Smithys Cottage”

“This property is a little gem, ...”

This property is a little gem, located at the start of the highstreet it’s walking distance to the local pub, shops & beach. When we arrived the property was very clean and the welcome basket with a few basics was a nice suprise. The decoration & furnishing throughout the property is to a very high standard and the kitchen is very well equipped with good quality utensils. The photos are slightly misleading as the grassed area is at the front of the property and not enclosed which means we couldn’t let the pooches run around. This would easily be solved with a little fence at the end of the grassed area. There is however an enclosed paved area at the back of the property to let your pooches out, even though it enclosed it wasn’t ideal for dogs to be left unsupervised as there were used & empty kerosene containers some without lids on. Also general debris on the floor such as nuts & screws which if left to their own devices our two crazy pooches would have found these. Overall this was a lovely property and as two couples celebrating new year we all had a fab time. The hot tub was great even if the weather wasn’t. Would 100% recommend.

“What beautiful house and area. One ...”

What beautiful house and area. One of the nicest houses/cottages we have ever stayed in. Hot tub was a bonus after long dog walks. It's a house with every thing. Towels,Toilet rolls. Milk and cake on arrival. These little things make a difference. The area is perfect so many dog walks. On your door step. A few lovely pubs and places to eat mintures away. The dogs gave no rules in the house which is amazing. We took our 3 jack Russell's and they loved it. The house was spotless and warm and welcoming. We didn't want to leave. Thank you to the owner and Sykes for a lovely relaxing week. We will be returning.

“We had a fantastic weeks stay at ...”

We had a fantastic weeks stay at the Old Smithy. It was very well decorated, to be honest a home from home. The double bedrooms were very spacious with plenty of room. The kitchen was very equipped with all mod cons. Spotlessly clean on arrival and the welcome hamper was a great touch and with an added bonus was the hot tub which we used nearly every night even in mid-November. Located less than 5 minutes walking distance to local pub and beach. Would highly recommend it 11/10. A bonus for Sykes cottages and credit to David the owner.

“Pro ...”

Pro Nice location short walk from the harbour and beach, The accommodation is well equipped, neat and tidy. Very comfortable also left a welcome pack Bread, Milk butter Etc. No book of rules of what you can and cannot do with your dogs which is brilliant. Cons The photographs do not give a clear indication of the enclosed garden, It is not the grassed area on the pictures with the hot tub which is on the front and open to the access road. The enclosed area is to the rear which is pretty much completely paved with a large storage tank in it for many this will not matter, If like us you have dogs who are not used to a stone yard and are used to grass first and last thing a day it was an issue. Just need a fence between the drive and the grassed area with hot tub and we would happily recommend in all areas. This seems to be more down to Sykes Photography of the location than anything else.

“Beautiful, large modern accommodation”

The location is perfect , short walk from beach and all local amenities. Lovely coastal walks and the bay's are stunning . There are dog restrictions on the main beach but they are allowed at the far end. The only issue we had was the residents opposite who like to party all night every night until 4am on some occasions! So we had very little sleep which was a shame as the bedrooms are stunning. Also the hot tub and bar area are in the front garden so not private and it's not secure for the dogs to be out there . There is a small paved garden at the rear but not very attractive.
