• "We've had a really lovely stay at Yr Orsedd."

  The cottage is very homely, clean and well equipped. The beds and linen all very comfortable. On top of all this, there are stunning views from the property down to the coast and over to Holyhead. From the front of the property you can also see the Snowdonian range. The cottage is situated just on the edge of a nice little village, which has a very useful village stores. It is easy to access local footpaths and the coastal path network (it's about 15 mins to walk from the cottage to the nearest beach). There was also a very generous welcome pack on arrival with essentials for the stay as well as a few treats! All in all a great place to stay on the beautiful isle of Anglesey. We hope to be back again soon! Thank you to the owners and Sykes cottages for helping us to have a lovely holiday!

• "The cottage is beautifully located, with a stunning 180 degree sea view looking out towards Holyhead harbour, Llaneilian headland as well as breath taking countryside views, to the front of the property."

  Yr Orsedd was extremely clean and there was a lovely welcome pack from the owners. We really enjoyed our stay and will return back to this little gem.

• "This was a very clean and tidy property, ideally sited for exploring the top of the island."

  The place had a very homely, comfortable, cared for feel about it and had everything required for our weeks stay. The views are truly amazing and the garden was ideal for our dog to run around in. We were very impressed and will be back of that I am certain.

  Cannot fault the property except for the double mattress in the upstairs bedroom was a bit hard and took a few night to get used too.

• "Absolutely superb!"

  This compact bungalow was spotlessly clean, and the kitchen had every conceivable item you may need to cook an evening meal. Very comfortable beds and furniture, and with stunning sea views from the sitting room window what more could you need.The garden was secure for our small dog - she loved it! We were very impressed, infact we have already booked again for next year.

  Weather was terrible but this was a fantastic cottage to be holed up in! Immaculately clean, warm and cosy and the layout is perfect, no steep stairs to navigate at 3am when you need the toilet and don't know where the light switches are! Views are amazing, we enjoyed watching the ferries from the living room window. Wifi and phone signal good. Thoughful welcome pack. Thank you.

• "Stunning views is the first thing we thought on arrival."

  The cottage was clean, even upto my OCD standards. The place was very homely, comfortable and well decorated. We chose this cottage because it looked well presented. The kitchen appliances and utensils were well stocked up and in perfect working order. The garden was amazing too sit out in, watching the ships come and go and at night star gazing. Plenty of storage space in the bedrooms for your clothes and stuff. There were books to read, DvD's to watch at night, a cabinet full of various games. Overall,I could live in this house more comfortably than my own house. In fact, I didn't want to leave and my husband had to turf me out, I wanted to claim squatters rights. Needless to say I'm depressed to be back home. THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS. the big couch in the living room is uncomfortable and sags at the back. Nobody wanted to sit there. We would of liked to park our car in the garage. Dogs not allowed upstairs and on furniture, impossible task for a pet that is a lap dog and actually sleeps with me in bed. The carpet in the living room is due for a good shampoo. The rug in front of the fire kept curling up and revealing what colour the carpet really is supposed to be. It took us 10 minutes to find the key safe it was that well hidden. Maybe better instruction on the exact location or cut the bush, also I had to fight the spiders guarding the safe before I could retrieve the key. Wifi password is very tricky to read in the handbook. The bedroom window should have a clear sign on to warn people it is a fire exit and should not be opened. Children are not likely to take notice as they don't read the handbook, have curious hands and need a warning in front of their faces. The TV in the living room isn't big enough, it's the only TV in the house and we struggled with the small screen.

  We're pleased you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and our amazing views. Following your comments we got a company out to shampoo the lounge carpet (we usually do it ourselves). They said the difference in colour is due to sunlight, not dirt. We will therefore replace it when we re-decorate. Property Owner

• "A lovely place to stay with the most amazing views out of every window ."

  Equipped with everything you could need and lovely and clean with a lovely welcome pack. I will miss my morning cuppa watching the ferries and the sea on the bench in the garden. On our one bad weather day it was lovely and cosy.The kids loved all the games and toys . So much to do nearby as well . Felt like a home away from home and would definitely come back. Can't imagine many places have such amazing views and such a feeling of calm and peace . It was much needed and we have come home feeling refreshed .

• "We loved the house and wonderful views."

  Well presented clean and with a well equipped kitchen. My only gripe is that the beds were not comfortable and my mother struggled with her bed on the ground floor and said it needed a new mattress or at least a mattress topper would have made a difference. A shame as everything else about it was great.

  The mattresses are regularly replaced, so we are sorry that you didn't find them comfortable. We're so pleased that you loved our cottage and the spectacular views and don't worry about the accidental damage - we'll get it sorted, kind regards Property Owner

• "Really enjoyed our stay, the sea views from the property were stunning!"

  We explored all the local beaches with our 2 dogs, Caemas Bay was really nice with the little harbour. There are also some really quiet beaches nearby that we had to ourselves which was lovely. The house was immaculately clean, we enjoyed using the real fire each night. We had a couple of meals in the local pub and also had fish and chips in Valley not too far away. We felt so relaxed and would really recommend this property.

• "This was our third stay at Yr Orsedd in six months; which must count as a strong recommendation in itself."

  Despite the stormy February 2022 weather, Yr Orsedd was warm and comfy; it has a very homely feel. Yr Orsedd is quite compact; six adults might find it a bit cosy, although you’ll be outside in the lovely garden in the better weather. There are wonderful views across the water to Holyhead. There’s a small shop in the village, and the big supermarkets in Holyhead are about fifteen minutes away. Recommended.

  Everything worked well, and great WiFi. The best views in Anglesey over the water to Holyhead. Yr Orsedd was great for two of us with a dog. It would be okay for four, but a bit tight for six adults. We’ve booked to stay again, so recommended.

  Amazing location and beautiful surroundings. Perfect for our family, would definitely recommend. Our only recmendation would be to add blinds to the downstairs windows. We arrived on a very hot and sunny week and so some shade inside would have been great.

• "The cottage was as advertised."

  Fantastic location with great views. The cottage was well equipped and clean. Sykes cottages however are a let down. Originally booked for June but had to move date due to Covid. The September date was advertised at a rate £65 cheaper yet we paid extra compared to June. Not impressed.

• "The cottage itself was fabulous, very well appointed and presented, clearly used by the owners rather than just a holiday rental."

  Great location, quiet spot with no near neighbours, but with easy access to the main road and fantastic views of Holy Island. Spacious, well maintained, secure garden for our dog, although fences might be too low for dogs that jump so supervision needed. Highly recommend Yr Orsedd, we loved it. As regards Sykes, we would have appreciated a less cynical and more generous approach when our booking had to be changed due to the coronavirus pandemic. A separate holiday booking, via a well known charity, was also affected but the process could not have been more different. The charity waived the usual rebooking fee and also offset a large proportion of the increased rental incurred when the booking was changed. Sadly there was no such approach with Sykes, it was very much business as usual despite the extreme circumstances. Needless to say we're far more likely to rebook with the charity.

• "A cottage with spectacular views."

  I can quite see why the owners purchased this after holidaying here themselves. It is obvious that it is a well loved property. It is the best equipped self catering property we have ever stayed in. Some of the information on local amenities could do with a little updating but if you have internet access you can check for yourself, especially using the WiFi access at the cottage. The small local shop is well stocked with all your basic needs & more. A very comfortable property with a range of entertainments for young & old. We holidayed with 3 generations of our family & we all enjoyed our stay. We would consider a return stay
