• "We loved our stay at Plas Cefn Mawr."

  Everything was super-clean and comfortable. The outside space, including the enclosed paddock were great. The living room was cool and a little dark, which was a welcome relief in the hot weather. It would be a cosy room to relax in during colder weather too though. There were four of us (plus a dog) so the facilities were perfect for us. The living spaces might be a bit tight if there are 8 guests (as advertised). We had an issue with the oven (100% our fault), and we were impressed that it was fixed within 10 minutes of us reporting it. Overall, the accommodation was a great base for exploring Anglesey and we'd highly recommend.

  The cottage is comfortable, clean and well maintained. Is in a very convenient location close to ask that Anglesey has to offer and close to the mainland. We particularly enjoyed visiting Plas Newydd which is a two minute drive away The paddock was a Godsend for the kids and the dogs! E we definitely want to stay again!

  Loved it. Great size for our family with 2 dogs Everybody in our party of 7 loved it and said they all slept well. This property will leave a great memory for my daughter who got engaged on New year's Eve During the stay with us. Dogs loved running around on secure paddock too. Would definitely go back to this property and I recommend it.

• "Such a lovely cottage in a perfect location for exploring both Anglesey and mainland Wales."

  The cottage is well appointed. The paddock is agreat safe space for dogs and children to have a run around. The only things to improve would be the double bed in the second bedroom as this squeaked and clanked every time I rolled over in the night. Also a curtain around the shower in the wet room to try and stop everything getting so wet. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday thank you. We would recommend the property to friends and family.

• "Spacious cottage in a very good location."

  Beds are comfortable and showers good. Indoor cleanliness satisfactory, the kitchen floor needs a deep clean. Only basic kitchen equipment, e.g no chopping boards were provided for food preparation. No welcome pack or instructions folder was provided which would have been helpful. Slight damp smell upstairs.The outdoor space, the paddock, garden furniture and parking are all great and very well maintained. We had a lovely holiday, thank you.

  Thank you for your review, pleased you enjoyed your holiday but need to address some of your comments. 1. The chopping board was an error on my behalf, I had not remembered to replace the one removered that day. 2. The Directory has always been available and holds all info re appliances and useful telephone and is in the kitchen next to the Steamer 3. All rooms are deep cleaned with a heated Shark steam cleaner. 3. Re Dampness please note the Cottage is 400 years old stone-built, to be seen there appears to be no visual dampness and will look into it. I try to meet all our guests unless they inform me of late arrival which your party did also I did state any problems to please walk up the drive to me or phone if you had any issues. Property Owner

  We chose Plas Cefn Mawr because of the downstairs accommodation but my mum (who is disabled and reduced mobility) could not have a shower all week as she didn't feel confident to stand on the wet slate floor without something to hold onto.

• "We have had the most wonderful holiday in this beautiful house, six adults, two grandchildren (5yrs and 6 weeks) plus our little dog Molly."

  We were so impressed with the property, it is well equipped, immaculately presented and so comfortable (never slept as well)! The bonus was having a huge drive for 3 cars and the outside area was perfect for us all, the paddock being especially popular for all types of games, relaxation and controlled tomfoolery. We had privacy and peace..even the sound of the neighbour's cockerel made us happy (especially our 5yr old).Lots of lovely places to visit locally with the children on the island and we had a couple of takeaways from local businesses which were delicious. Newborough Warren was the highlight which was a short distance away. The weather was very kind but the house was the cherry on the cake.

  So pleased that you all had a super relaxing holiday, it makes us happy to know that you loved the island and were comfortable at PCM the cockerel always makes me smile he is quite a good-looking bird will let him know that your grandson loved him, thank you for your feedback it means a lot to us, enjoy the rest of the year.

  The cottage is plenty spacious, enough seating and spacious rooms. Our family of 6 and 2 dogs all fit perfectly without feeling like we were ontop of one another. Everywhere was spotless, beds very comfy and we had no complaints! The TV in the lounge is alittle small and would be nice to be updated to a slightly larger smart tv. The wifi was incredible and our family had a joke about how 'great Pat's wifi' was. There was plenty of parking space outside and the added fenced field attatched to the garden was perfect for our dogs! There was even some badminton things under the stairs that our kids in their 20's enjoyed playing with. Everything was well equipped and provided, but there could be a baking tray or two in the kitchen, luckily we had brought our own! The propertg is on a fairly busy main road but the noise cant be heard inside. Overall a fantastic stay, noone wanted to leave and we would definitely return!

  Thank you for your comments, we do try to accommodate most things in house as we would like to find when on holiday, glad Pat,s wifi got top marks hopefully we will see you all again. Pat & Islwyn Property Owner

• "A good sized house for myself, my husband and our 3 adult sons."

  The twin room would benefit from zip link beds so that all may have a double. The upstairs family bathroom was a decent size but the adjoining door to the bedroom made it slightly awkward. The wet-room downstairs, which was an ensuite to the downstairs bedroom, could not be used once we had showered as the floor was saturated for many hours. This meant the only usable bathroom was upstairs. The living room was a good size with ample seating. The TV in that room, the only tv in the property, felt small for the room but sufficed. The kitchen, which was mostly conservatory was a disappointment. The dining table, pushed against the side of the conservatory had a 'nursery rhyme' wipe clean covering. The chairs were not as depicted in the phots but were office chairs!!! I was astounded! Not suitable and very disappointing. There was ample crockery but all small sized. The cutlery was not suitable and poor quality. We cooked steaks but there was no knife suitable to cut it. The utensils were mismatched and random. There were no baking trays so we had to use the pizza tray to cook a pie. The only tongs were wooden and not fit for purpose. My sons were reasonably happy with their beds but the downstairs bed which I shared with my husband was very uncomfortable.The mattress left me with terrible hip pain due to ridges digging in. I had to put throws from the living room under the mattress cover to soften the feeling but it didn't help much. The most disappointing thing was no 'welcome pack'. Admittedly, one was not promised, but after a 41/2 hour drive I had to go out to find a shop for the essentials of tea, milk, bread etc. It would have been helpful to have a few tea bags and some milk provided. We have been renting holiday cottages around the UK for 25+ years and rarely has there been no provision of tea bags and milk! On the whole, the property is fine for a week away but is not 5 STAR, not even close. There needs to be more attention to detail and some touches of luxury to rate that highly.

  Nice & roomy cottage for a family of 5 & our dog. The photos on the listing need updating as the dining chairs have been replaced with office meeting room type chairs & there is different garden table & chairs. I think we've been spoilt with other holiday locations where a welcome pack has been provided meaning you can have a hot drink when you arrive, whereas nothing was provided, a little thing but goes a long way.

Also the property is located on a main road - we didn’t notice this from the advert but the paddock has the main road running along side it so it isn’t very private - again not an issue for us just wasn’t clear in the listing !

• "The cottage was absolutely beautiful and the layout was just what we required as we had three generations of family together."

  We were in love with the log burner which made every evening so cosy. The bedrooms were so lovingly decorated and I loved waking up every morning and going downstairs to the large kitchen and making coffee for everyone. My Labrador loved the paddock in the morning and we saw Hippo too most days! We loved spending Christmas day here but just wish there had been a few more utensils and pans to deal with a busy cooking day. Apart from that I would recommend this beautiful cottage to friends and family without a doubt. I also loved reading the history of the area and the cottage in the guest help book and would have loved to know more. My grandma was particularly taken with the little window in the lounge! Once again a beautiful and cosy place to stay any time of year.

  We were welcomed by the owners Pat and Wynn and once the rest of our family arrived it soon felt like 'home'.
