“This cottage lived up to all expectations, the hot tub was fantastic,we were really lucky with the weather, the sun shone on us all week, I would highly recommend this cottage.”

The only thing it needed was a radio. Do try the award winning chip shop it was brilliant.

“Beautiful home just a short walk from a pretty harbour.”

Very dog friendly area with a pub and hotel happy to let them inside and either end of the beach available for a run. Our only negative is that parking can be tricky for 2 cars .

- Mr Foster, June 2019
“The cottage is ideally situated within walking distance of the beach and high street.”

The bea h is beautiful and If the tide is out you can walk across the bay. The high street has the basics you would need. There is a wood situated behind the high street which runs along the river again a great route to and from the beach. The cottage has everything you would need and is a bit different. I ordered an Asda shop and it was delivered on our arrival. The owner was local and nothing was too much trouble.

- Miss Jones, May 2019
“The cottage was very comfortable, practical and spacious for two couples and a dog.”

Having two bathrooms was great and all equipment required for cooking meals was available in the kitchen. The cottage was in an excellent location a very short walk from shops and the beaches in the lovely village of Cemaes. There are lots of places on Anglesey to visit from the cottage but some of our favourites were Plas Newydd house and gardens, Parys Mountain, Red Wharf Bay and the coastal path walk to Llanbadrig church. There are good options for eating out locally including the café at the Heritage centre in Cemaes, The Bay View restaurant and Caffi Siop Mechell in nearby Llanfechell.

- Miss Williams, April 2019
“Excellent place.”

Well equipped for a comfortable relaxing time in a really nice location. 5 stars.

- Mr Bennett, March 2019
“A beautiful, well equipped cottage.”

A would definitely recommend a visit, we will be booking it again soon.

- Miss Massie, March 2019
“Hot tub excellent, however more lighting needed around it.”

Fencing also not offering enough privacy. TV in lounge very outdated.

- Mr Clarke, March 2019
“This place had everything and more.”

From a casserole dish to washing powder we could have easily been in a home from home and we felt so relaxed the whole time. When visiting other places with our dog we have found many rules and restrictions but here there was the trust that you are a decent human and would keep the place clean and this again meant we didn't have to worry and could really enjoy our stay!

- Mr Alldis, February 2019
“The house was very spacious and tidy with an added bonus of the hot tub.”

David the owner was very polite and as able to recommend places to eat and drink. Would return

- Mrs Hagger, February 2019
“Lovely little post Xmas break”

What can I say about this stunning, perfectly decorated, warm cosy amazing property but WOW. The nicest best equipped holiday rental we, ve ever stayed at and we come to Anglesey at least 3 times a year. Spotless, every room a delight. We literally didn't want for anything except to see when we can come back. David the host was fantastic and replied to messages pronto. Cemaes itself is a pretty little village perfect to totally chill, friendly locals. Beautiful coastline. Fantastic time had by all four of us

- Anita E, January 2019
“Absolutely loved the Smithy and will definitely be returning.”

Stunning property with cool quirky decor. The best equipped kitchen ever. Spotless warm and very comfortable. The beds and sofas were really comfy, bath and showers hot and lots of fluffy towels available. Loved the hot tub and the garden was fully enclosed for our dogs. Cemaes itself is a quiet pretty little village the beach was lovely for the dogs. Had a perfect little new year break. Will be very sorry to be leaving tomorrow

- Miss Evans, January 2019
“What a fantastic property everything you can ever think of you may need is to hand.”

A very spacious property that was ideal for 4 and perfect for our dogs. A perfect location to end the Christmas break.

- Mrs Drage, December 2018
“Perfect place!!!!!”

Recently stayed at this house and I have to say I have never been more impressed with a rental accommodation. Everything you could want is provided. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and beautifully furnished. There is even room to ride my mobility scooter inside, turn round in the kitchen and park it underneath the stairs. For anyone who is disabled there is a sofa bed in the living room and a downstairs toilet and bathroom. Everything you need in a kitchen is provided. It's so close to shops with friendly staff and a lovely cafe for breakfast if you don't want to cook for yourself. The owners are always on hand to answer questions or assist in any way they can. The only thing I could have asked for more of is time staying there!!!! Will definitely be returning for another visit.

- Capricornarefab, December 2018
“Had a great Christmas at this cottage.”

It was very spacious and comfortable. Loved the hot tub! The owner was very friendly and helpful and people in the village were lovely too! Can definitely recommend it and can’t wait to go back!

- Mrs Simmons, December 2018
“Very good cottage , extremely well equipped”

- Mrs Cox, November 2018
“This was our first time in North Wales and we were not disappointed.”

The property was second to none and the owners were magnificent truly a great place to stay

- Mr Laughton, October 2018
“One toilet was non-operational from arrival on Saturday until Tuesday of our ...”

One toilet was non-operational from arrival on Saturday until Tuesday of our week-long stay Throughout the weeks stay, a radiator rattling and other noises disturbed my wife and children’s sleep to the extent that we all four ended up sleeping in one bed in the quieter bedroom The property’s driveway can accommodate 2 cars as advertised , but during our stay, one of these parking spaces was continuously occupied by the neighbouring “annex” property’s guests vehicle, which made access tricky The property does not have a lawned garden that we were able to find, contra to details as advertised on Sykes website

- Mr Tassell, October 2018
“Very friendly owners who made us feel very welcome .”

The cottage was nicely decorated and the conservatory and hot tub were fully utilised during our stay . Cemaes Bay we would heartily recommend , a lovely village with a great sense of identity with exceptionally friendly locals

- Mr Webb, September 2018
“Thank you to David and Lee for a beautiful property, it was fabulous, This is one of the best holiday stays we have had, everything you need is available.”

Very quiet of an evening, slept really well. The hot tub was very relaxing, we would highly recommend and look forward to returning in the future.

- Mrs Allan, September 2018
“Fantastic property in a great location everything we needed was provided.”

The only down side was poor Wi-Fi which caused issues with the kids.

- Mr Openshaw, August 2018
“Lovely house only a short walk to the beach and the village shops.”

Perfect location for seeing Anglesey. Owners had even left some provisions for us when we arrived.

- Mrs Hulme, August 2018
“Just the most relaxing cottage!”

We’ve loved our holiday and have already booked our return. Our hosts, Dave & Lee were superb - a fabulous and thoughtful welcome pack awaited us and in the event of us having a need, our issue was dealt with immediately and with a smile. Our two terriers loved the house too and we were able to completely relax because the property has a secured area outside - both front and back - no worries about either of them escaping. The new fence made our hot tub visits private. There is a washer dryer at the property (doesn’t appear on the listing) and the kitchen is well equipped. The beach genuinely is 6 minutes away and the dog walking section on the far side is generous and sheltered. The Chip shop is highly recommended and has gluten free chips. The location is perfect with so many walks and tremendous views; truly unspoiled coast.

- Mrs Turner, July 2018
“Bliss”

Stayed here for a week in June 2018 and wow what a place! Well appointed accommodation with everything you would need and more. Superbly located just a few minutes walk from the village centre and harbour. Lovely small shops well stocked with everything you need, The chippy is superb and only cooks fresh fish to order (no frozen rubbish) The owner David is a lovely guy and very helpful. Cemaes is a beautiful village and there are so many things to do and see nearby. Parys Mountain is a must. We will be back :)

- raynzena, June 2018
“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.

- Mrs Christopher-vickers, May 2018
“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.

- Ms Wood, May 2018
“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.

- Mrs Hayes, April 2018
“It was wonderfull .”

Made to feel very welcome

- Mrs Ashton, April 2018
“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.

- Miss Lockwood, April 2018
“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.

- Ms Smith, 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.

- Mr Swain, March 2018
“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
“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.

- Ms Stevens, January 2018
“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.

- Mrs Byers, January 2018
“Kitchen needs more luminous lighting ...”

Kitchen needs more luminous lighting Hot tub alongside bins at front of property Beds comfortable but when stripping beds on leaving, mattresses very badly stained No DVD player in lounge though two upstairs House was very clean Welcome pack was thoughtful Parking excellent for one car Overall good standard

- Mr Thomas, January 2018
“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”

- Donna O, December 2017
“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.

- Mrs Ford, December 2017
“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.

- Mrs Eden, November 2017
“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.

- Ms Bucknor, November 2017
“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.

- Mr Bedford, November 2017
“Perfect spot for either staying put and enjoying the river, beach or coastal path locally or travelling further afield to explore Anglesey.”

Clean, tidy and amenities all within walking distance.

- Mr Jukes, October 2017
“The property was excellent and the owner very helpful”

- Mr Ramsden, October 2017
“Perfect dog friendly location”

Only 2 words to describe this property and location...... Absolutely Fabulous!! Already booked for next July!

- Jan289, September 2017
“Owners very responsive to needs.”

Cottage is beautiful and we'll maintained. Hot tub is an added bonus. As well as access to the sea, there is a lovely river walk close to the cottage. Thank you for a great holiday.

- Mrs Channon, August 2017
“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.
