  • "In a nutshell the property was filthy and smells awful."

    Unfit for human habitation in my opinion. As you know - we left after one night. Your offer of a 25% refund was derisory. The amount of money you are charging for this property is ridiculous. You and Sykes should be ashamed of yourselves. Our much needed holiday lasted for one awful night. I will be sharing photos of the state the property was in on social media and Trip Advisor as I hope no-one else has to lose their money on this disgrace of a holiday let.

  • "We were fortunate to have really good weather whilst we were there unfortunately there was no way of getting fresh air into the property other than leaving the front door open."

    We couldn't open the patio doors and didn't want to force them. Although there was a fan it was on a timer which wasn't much good at night when the door had to be shut. We found the sofa uncomfortable but solved this partially by using pillows off the bed. The photograph in the description on the website shows a different sofa with cushions. There was a very helpful folder of walks and some manuals for the equipment. Unfortunately several of the manuals didn't refer to the current tv and oven. There was no indication of what had to be recycled where and the bins by the gate were overflowing. I can only assume that a previous occupier had sorted it incorrectly and the bin men had refused to empty them. The folder was also lacking in the general information about local ,shops, doctors, dentists, hospitals and vets which is often useful when away most of which have needed at different times on different holidays. although it provided a clean base from which to explore the area I'm not sure whether we would go back again

    It was quaint and everything that was needed was provided. The cottage was clean throughout, the shower was just right and it was definitely a sun trap when sitting outside. The only thing that I would have liked is a tiny table outside to place drinks and food on but this is just a small thing. The beach is a two minute walk and there are places to eat that are just down the road. I would definitely book here again.

  • "After looking at the property on the website my partner who registered disabled and I thought it looked very cosy and perfect for our needs, unfortunately that wasn't the case on arrival due to a few simple to rectify issues but damning none the less."

    1) The sofa in the picture is NOT the one in the apartment it has been replaced at some point with a faux leather type two seater sofa which was impossible for my partner to actually sit on due to his situation I feel that any alterations in furnishings should be acknowledged on the site because this was very misleading and all my poor partner had to sit on was plastic dining chairs for which we had to go out and use our holiday money and petrol to fit them out with seat cushions just to give him a little bit of comfort but he spent most of our down time laying on the bed because the furniture was so uncomfortable. 2) We were confronted with a quilt and pillows left on the bed and we specifically asked for just a mattress protector and nothing else which is quite silly because the only way we could store them was by putting them into the outbuilding inside dustbin liners which we had to purchase from the local shop which was another expense which wasn't needed if our instructions had been adhered to in the first instance. 2) The doors on the bedroom and the living area were poorly affixed to there frames because they would not shut without being forced into position which was difficult to be totally honest the paint on the skirting board by the living room door needs sorting out as does the ceiling above the radiator in the living room as it is coming away and the hoover was left full of rubbish and didn't work after emptying it and there were pubic hairs in the shower before we used it. Both my partner and I have to give Cemaes Bay itself a massive thumbs up it's a beautiful place to visit the area was clean and tidy most of the people who we aquatinted with were friendly and polite the fish and chip shop which is on the high street sells excellent produce the fish is cooked to order and the batter is light and very tasty. The two beaches around the point are clean and easy to access and there are some fantastic views from the clifftop walks that take your breath away, if you want seaside attractions such as amusement arcades then you will be disappointed because there aren't any and the island has Asda and B&M as the one and only local shop is expensive due to it's exclusivity but they are only accessible by car as they are in the middle of the island but Cemaes is a beautiful place just to relax and recharge the batteries just stupid little things let the rest of the holiday break down. SYKES it's upto you to keep your listings current and up to date so someone else does not have a spoilt time through idiosyncrasies that need not have arisen in this case.

    Not much storage in the bedroom with out of reach clothes hangers in an alcove, lived pretty much out of our bags. Thought that having no window in the kitchen/lounge would be a problem but plenty of light from the glass in the ceiling provided plenty of light. Location outweighs from lack of any views, with the beach and harbour a minute away.

    Very minor reasons for not 10/10. Some light bulbs were out, the patio table was missing and the loo drips during the night. We must point out that these are VERY minor issues, which can be easily remedied. Very clean property with modern appliances.

  • "Easy to book with Sykes with good communication from them."

    The Studio was in a very good position for shops, cafe, pub, general store and butcher's all within a 1 min to 2 min walk. From the studio there were two lovely walks to go on the flower walk and the otter walk both taking you to the harbour. Both harbours are only 5 min walk away which can lead you onto more walks. If you do not want to drive there is a bus stop on the High Street 1 to 2 min walk from the Studio. Cemaes is a beautiful quiet village unspoilt by tourism. The Studio it self may be small but it is compact and big enough for two people and a dog. Bedroom double bed , comfy, TV in corner on corner unit and hanging space in alcove. Shower room good size with full size sink, toilet and shower cubicle. Shower very good. In the alcove there is a washing machine, bonus. Lounge/ kitchen and dinning area wth wall mounted TV. The kitchen has all necessary equipment to make either a light meal or a full meal. Outside there is an out house with a dryer another bonus. Patio area there are two chairs to soak up the sun the area is a sun trap. The Studio was for us in an ideal postion quiet and convenient for the amenities of Cemaes. Cleanliness was good just one area needing a little attention was the runners on the shower screen. Which in a couple of minutes was rectified. The recycling boxes were full but not emptied due to the boxes being in correctly filled. We took our recycling to the recycling depot on the free car park at the top of the road 1 min walk away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cemaes and at the Studio.

  • "This is a great base to explore the local area."

    The property is comfortable, although better ventilation in the kitchen / living room would be helpful on hot days. The recycling and rubbish bins were full on arrival, and not collected due to being incorrectly filled by a previous tenant. Clearer labelling would help with this. The yard area was ok, although cigarette butts had been left in the plant pots, and the plants were dead, which detracted from the area. The property would benefit from a dishwasher - some of the kitchen equipment was not clean. I tried to wash the cheese grater, but it was rusty and not usable despite this.

    I expected it smaller but was actually bigger. It's an Annex to the rear of the house off the main high Street. It has easy access and you can park in front of the garage at the back. There is everything you need. Toaster, kettle, microwave, iron ironing board, washing machine and dryer. Along with fully fitted kitchen. There is no window in the lounge which I was a bit concerned about but there's a large skylight in the roof and let's lots of natural daylight in the room so wasn't a problem at all. There is Now TV in lounge and bedroom. The bedroom has a small inset in the wall as a wardrobe, so storage a bit short but we lived out of our suitcase so wasn't a problem for us. The bathroom is lovely. Plenty of hot water and nice shower. We had a bit of a struggle with the hot water, but the itinerary the owner left explained fully what to do, so check that out. Perfectly located to enjoy the town, harbour, the beach and the lovely walks and hospitality of of the locals in Menaes Bay. The Studio was a lovely place to stay and will definitely stay there again. Thankyou for a lovely holiday ❤

    Was assured each time that it was. This was essential as my husband is disabled and his electric wheelchair and fall recovery equipment was to be kept in the car £3200.00 total value. The parking was in the lane and despite parking as close to garage( full of building supplies) as possible we still had to move the car at 7 am on the Tuesday for the refuse collection truck. The settee despite previous complaints was so uncomfortable watching a film was an endurance test as we just could not get comfortable. Same with the bed. Although studio spotless and well equipped, 2 out of the 3 mugs were chipped and cracked . Not by us. We purchased 2 locally for our use. No window except in ceiling. Courtyard grim with view of next doors garden strewn with rubbish and old furniture or a lane. So bad we packed up Wednesday to come home.

The property

The Studio is a ground floor annexe to the rear of the high street in the village Cemaes Bay, set on the north coast of Anglesey in North Wales.

It is situated near owner’s property The Old Post Office.

This is the perfect holiday for couples wanting a peaceful break.

The main bedroom has a lovely double bed with an integrated wardrobe and TV.

The open living plan area includes a well-equipped kitchen with a comfortable sitting area and breakfast bar and there are doors opening out to the courtyard to sit out with your morning coffee.

With a short walk to shops, pubs and beaches, you can get all your necessities and relax in the sun in a quiet atmosphere with a refreshing drink.

Further afield, you can take a 10 minute drive to the local Red Wharf Bay or town of Benlech.

This allows ample opportunities for long leisurely walks along the coast, the chance to visit local monuments and churches and explore the fishing harbour.

Angling charters are also quite popular in this area, and if guests are able to get good weather and calm seas, then a day’s fishing on the water is a relaxing experience.

This property is perfectly suited for a couple looking to get away to the Welsh coast for a few days or more and stay in a well-furnished and modern apartment.
