Stabl Bach

We had a lovely week at Stabl Bach .

The location is peaceful and beautiful with walks to lovely beaches from the property. The house is spacious and has all of the amenities needed for a relaxing week . Some areas are in need of a little freshen up / upgrade ( window in front bedroom doesn’t close properly ) . We would definitely stay here again . Thank you so much for a lovely holiday .

This is our second time visiting Stabl Bach and it didn’t disappoint.

The location is beautiful and accommodation is great. We love to wonder down the garden and sit by the wall and watch the sea, take a cuppa or read a book or just watch the ferries coming and going. We still can’t believe that no one uses the beach but that’s what makes this place so special, you feel like you are on your own private island away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. We love it so much we have already booked again for next year. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

I find my conflicted in writing this review… the conflict lies in the fact that if I give Stabl Bach the review it so rightly deserves it may make it harder for me to find a availability to book again!

What a wonderful house in an incredible setting! Being able to walk to the bottom of the garden straight onto such a wonderful beach is hard to beat! Will 100% be staying again…

We stayed here for the first time for my partner’s birthday in Feb.

She loved it - the best cottage we’ve stayed in so far. There were no batteries in the TV remote or for the fire in the TV room, but there was wood for the log burner which was gorgeous, and we got batteries the following day so that was fine. The cottage is spacious yet cosy, quirky, comfortable and had everything we needed. The steps to the beach can a bit treacherous if it’s wet or you’re not nimble but having the beach at the bottom of the garden made it just perfect, especially for our westie. Hopefully we’ll be back again.

We had trouble finding Stable Bach as the photo shown was from the back of the house, and the house name is on a large brick on the floor.

The house is nice and clean but the cooker desperately needs maintenance as does the fridge freezer. We decided on this holiday because we are all senior citizens that are active and the thought of a beach holiday really excited us, the steps down to the property is very precarious as are the steps down to the pebbled beach. There is only one door to the property which concerned us regarding fire exits. There is no downstairs toilet and the two lots of stairs are extremely steep. THIS IS NOT A HOLIDAY FOR WHEELCHAIR ACCESS OR INVALIDS

Lovely spot and comfortable accommodation.

A wooden bench by the sea wall would be nice ( like the neighbours have!)

Fabulous holiday we loved our week away, the sun came out almost every day.

We can not believe that the beach is so empty, but so glad it was. It is a hidden gem just how we like it. We found the house and garden lovely to relax in. We loved it that much we have already booked again for next year.

Think the house is lovely and in a great position close to an almost empty beach.

We had a lovely holiday although the boiler died - the owner sorted it as soon as he could, so no problem there. Beds all very comfy too. Hope to return soon.

Fabulous cottage and amazing location .

Beautiful decor and furnishings Would definitely recommend and stay again

On the whole we enjoyed our stay and would book the property again, but the owners should really do something about the cooker.

Most of the burners didn’t work properly in fact the front centre one was giving off fumes that you could smell throughout the house and sooted the bottom of our pans. In the end we had to take time from our stay to strip the burners down clean out the jets with a hoover which fixed most of them. Also the living room log burners glass door was so encrusted with months of burnt on soot we couldn’t see through the glass and see the fire, luckily we have one at home and knew how to clean it properly, again taking time from our stay.

Great property in a fantastic location with the beach literally on your front doorstep.

Being so well equipped, it made the property the perfect location to bunker down and spend Christmas there. The Christmas tree and decorations were a nice touch. Many thanks to Daniel the owner who was prompt and thorough with any requests.

Our third visit to Stabl Bach and we will be booking again for next year.

Always a cosy bolt hole for our family and labrador who discovered the excitement of swimming this year rather than just jumping the waves! An empty beach is such a luxury at this time of year and the waves spectacular during the storm. Stabl Bach feels like a family home - comfortable and relaxing, with excursions to favourite places including The White Eagle, Halen Mon and Oriel Ynys Mon. We thoroughly recommend Stabl Bach....and Mon Crab on toast by the warmth of the log burner.

Had a fantastic week with the family and the dog's.

Fantastic location, fantastic house and the weather also behaved itself. The only downside was that we had to come home.

We love the cottage hence returning year after year.

Already booked by my sister for next years visit.

Beautiful property, right on the beach, great location for exploring Angelsey, hours and hours spent in the garden and on the beach from the kids,

Great property, well furnished, cleaned and maintained.

And location! - the beach is just at the bottom of the garden. Owner is very responsive to any queries or issues. We will be returning. Village stores 5 minutes away by car, and Holyhead within easy reach, As generally with this area the internet can be slow and sporadic, but that's not why you go on holiday is it. Follow the owners (easy) directions and NOT the satnav. Drawbacks -

Lovely house, great if you would like to get away from it all.

Lots of comfortable living space, beds lovely and comfy. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend, my daughter has stayed there twice. As a mature lady holidaying with my family, I would have perhaps appreciated a downstairs loo but would still return

Again, another lovely stay at Stabl Bach and already booked for next year.

What a pity the availability wasn’t accurate when we wanted to book again for next year!

We love Stabl Bach but as we have to coordinate time off for three families we need to have holidays booked as far in advance as possible to do this. Unfortunately it was really expensive to cancel the booking we made when the availability was correct. Hope to be back in 2026!

We loved this property.

It was very clean, very comfortable and the location is just fabulous. It had everything we needed and more. It was good that there was access to the beach from the lane as well as the steps at the bottom of the garden for those unable to manage the steps. The garden was great for our dog. I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Lovely cosy cottage in wonderful location we are returning next year!

Clean and tidy, comfy beds and bedding. Adjacent field great for grandchildren right by the beach with easy access. Key safe worked well to gain entry. Ideal with two sections of cottage for grandparents and children/grandchildren. Hoover didn’t work (sucked but roller not turning?) and half of toaster didn’t work. But the overall cottage and facilities were great! Would highly recommend, thank you!

We had a great holiday and the cottage and venue were superb - what more can you want than to access a beach from the house!

The facilities were great and comfy house was nice and warm. It’s perfect for people with dogs. The house was equipped with everything you need. Thanks for a great holiday!

This was our second visit to Stabl Bach and we had a wonderful holiday with family joining us from Canada and Scotland.

The cottage was lovely and warm as it can be blustery at this time of year. We made much use of the log burner , such a lovely feature when dining or playing cards late into the night! The additional steps from the garden to Traeth Trefadog helped with access and what a luxury to have sole use of the beach daily - incredible sunsets! Stabl Bach had been well-maintained over the winter, was very clean on arrival and still appeals as a comfortable , family home. A third visit is planned- thank you

Beautiful property, wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Our only criticism is the kitchen cupboards could do with a deep clean. Also, we look forward to the areas goodies in a welcome hamper but unfortunately on this occasion there wasn’t one

Lovely comfortable cottage in a fantastic location.

Our only grumble was the WiFi which was very intermittent. Also the key safe is corroded and we couldn’t get in but my husband sprayed it with WD40 and that worked. Apologies for calling you in a panic and thanks for your quick response!

Wonderful location and cottage will visit again .

Only criticism is the cooker needs a deep clean and frying pan and and saucepans need updating other than that perfect ..

Great place close to the beach.

Lovely comfortable home for a super week away. My only minor criticism is there was no cutlery rack in the dishwasher. We had to wash it up in the sink but in the grand scale of it all did not detract from an amazing property. Very dog friendly and beautifully presented. If we visit Anglesey again we will certainly look at staying here again.

This was our second stay at Stabl Bach and it won’t be our last.

Perfect location if you love the outdoors, and especially if you love being out & about with your fury friends. Lovely coastal walks right on your doorstep, stunning scenery & a warm & welcoming home. Thank you to all & hope to be back soon!

A fantastic cottage in a superb location, absolutely stunning scenery

Few issues toaster broken ?

fire risk step into lounge needs highlighting trip hazard also gate bottom garden needs warning re steps lovely property needs some deep cleaning maybe although we stayed end of season

Really lovely cottage, in a great situation.

Accommodation flows nicely, with plenty of space for 2 families; with double beds/bathrooms at either end of connecting twin/single rooms, with separate staircases. Really warm and cosy. Good parking. Friendly welcome. Directions from main road not good (first left after the pub? signed Church Bay?) Steps to the beach only suitable for a tall, fit person (but a short, pleasant walk around the road). Nicely decorated, and fresh. Would recommend. Comments for action by owner: The fridge thermostat had failed, and so lost some food due to being frozen. Freezer very dirty - had to clean to use. Light bulbs in bathroom need replacing (2). Pillows are hard and lumpy. Toaster is useless (previously commented on) - a cheapie would do the job!

Once again, a fabulous stay.

Already booked for next year and hope to keep going every year. If you want peace and quiet, fabulous views views all around, then this is the place.

all good but the dishwasher did not work properly.

we tried to call but just put on endless answering machines so gave up. it war running for over 12 hours at a time....

A few more provisions not just a small bottle of milk and Welsh cakes would have been nice as didn’t really want to go out after a long journey to get there.

Full mop and bucket left in utility and bin in shower room hadn’t been emptied. We take pride in where we go and had 2 dogs yet I had to clean up in the garden from previous owners … one thing we would never leave as we know how important it is to take a dog with us. I did originally say 4 people were staying but only 2 of us stayed so we left the place better than when we arrived. Information was very good and location fabulous.

We had a fabulous week at Stabl Bach.

This is a gem of a property nestled on the north of Anglesey with direct access to Porth Trefadog beach - a rarity. Stabl Bach is extremely spacious and so warm with geat attention to detail. We enjoyed the luxury of the beach to ourselves each day at low tide and spectacular waves at high tide. Stabl Bach, we miss you and are will return.

What an amazing place to stay.

So comfortable with direct access to a great beach with wonderful sunsets

An absolutely stunning property with a lovely homely feel.

We will be booking again.

What a beautiful location!

! We arrived at Stabl Bach in the dark as we couldn't go in until 5pm. We feel this is fine in the summer months as it is light. We understand that with Covid that cleaning obviously takes more time, however in the winter when it is dark, we found it difficult negotiating the steps with luggage etc and finding the keysafe. That said, it is small criticism...once in, and settled, after a good night's sleep we awoke to see where we were and WOW!!! It is beautiful, the cottage is delightful, it is light and airy, and we wanted for nothing. We felt "at home". We can only reiterate a lot of the previous comments already made. The peace of the place is fantastic, having the beach to ourselves was wonderful, our dog loved it as did we. It was lovely to have walks straight from the house and the near proximity of the coastal path. Sadly because of a mud slide the coastal path steps collapsed on the Sunday evening of our stay so we couldn't go there, but it didn't stop us as there are plenty of other walks around and about. We are now home and missing the place so much that we are seriously considering booking again. We can certainly recommend Stabl Bach, especially for families as there is so much room. I would point out however that if you have a Houdini dog like we have and he/she is small, it is possible for them to escape under a gate and some fencing around the garden (which incidentally is massive and great for children and dogs alike). We had to watch our dog like a hawk because if he got a scent he would be off and there is livestock nearby...worth a consideration. A lovely peaceful place to unwind.

Lovely cottage which was well equipped.

The layout was perfect for our group of two couples, two children and one single. The beach was a hit with the children, they loved collecting stones and shells. There are steep steps down to the beach from the garden so not really suitable for anyone with mobility problems. Just one thing to mention, when travelling to Stabl Bach, don't follow the postcode but use the owners directions for the last couple of miles, otherwise you'll end up down a dirt track in the middle of nowhere!

Our second stay at Stabl Bach, we were 5 adults and a dog.

The house is in a lovely location with the beach at the bottom of the garden. The steps to the beach have been improved from our last visit. The house was lovely and clean and well equipped. The beds and seating arrangements are very comfortable. Lovely hot showers! We would come again!

We love the property for its setting, beautiful and isolated, and for its peacefulness and lack of tourists.

Having two staircases so that upstairs can be split into two private spaces suits us very well. There are two areas we found less pleasing. Firstly, the cooking range just seemed too complicated to deal with when looking forward to a relaxing holiday and so we relied more than we wished to on the microwave and eating out. Secondly, it seems very strange to have a good washing machine but bo tumble dryer. We did one load of washing but it took 3 days to dry inside on the airer as it was too windy to leave the airer outside when we left for outings. If a tumble dryer is not possible, what about an economical electric heated airer? Finally, though this wasn't much of a problem, a bigger kitchen bin would have been great

Lovely cottage with everything beautifully decorated and appointed.

the kids loved being able to get direct access to the beach...the sunken seating area was always nice for a meal in the evenings as it was protected from the wind.

I don't really want to share how lovely this place is (would like it all to myself) but the first day we arrived, I booked it again for next year.

Huge garden and direct access to the beach, house was perfect and everything you need is there. So relaxing, I didn't want to come home. Cant wait to go back. there.

Wonderful cosy cottage.

Great location. Short walks to Sandy beach and church bay. The dog loved the large garden. Really didn’t want to leave. Only niggle was the wind!

This is an excellent property.

Really well appointed and equipped. Wonderfully peaceful with direct access to a beautiful, quiet beach. Can’t find fault; would be very happy to return :))

Beautiful cottage and stunning location, we had a lovely stay in this spacious cottage.

The beds are comfy but on the small side. It is isolated which we knew and wanted so remember to take all your supplies as no welcome pack and only one log for the log burner. The beach is stunning and just out of the gate in the garden.

We had a fantastic stay.

The only issue we had was finding the property. The postcode sent us down the lane before the lane we should have taken and the what3words left us at the top of the lane. Thankfully the people in the private white house were able to help us get to the cottage.

Beautiful place, amazing location.

The house was spotless, we had everything we needed for the week. The children and the dog absolutely loved the beach being so close. It was such a peaceful stay we absolutely loved it. We will definitely be back!

Fantastic location right by the beach and lovely large garden for our dogs Cottage warm and cosy , plenty of space to relax indoors after walks

This was our first time visiting Anglesey and Stabl Bach cottage and we were not disappointed the property was amazing, everything we needed was there.

The beach and the views at the end of the garden were stunning. Even though it was January we were lucky with the weather too. We went on long walks and just relaxed in this peaceful environment. I would highly recommend booking Stabl Bach to friends and family and would definitely book this property again.

We had a wonderful stay at Stabl Bach!

The garden was fantastic and we loved being able to sit and look at the sea. Being able to easily access the beach was a huge plus. The house has been really nicely kept and we really appreciated that high quality appliances were provided and that the kitchen was very well stocked with absolutely everything you need. It was spotless which was brilliant. The only small thing we’d say is that the internet was quite slow and if that could be improved it would make the cottage perfect!

The most beautiful location and loved the beach at the end of the garden, watching the sun set sat on the wall/beach was idyllic.

We enjoyed exploring coves, rock-pools and the coastal path with the dog. Lovely house, very comfy throughout and all you needed in the kitchen. Great layout if two families are staying together. Would love to go back.

House was lovely and as described.

Very well appointed kitchen, even down to supply of dishwasher tablets (something usually absent). Can't emphasise enough the closeness and beauty of the beach. The garden is also very large (big bonus for kids and dogs), which perhaps isn't obvious from the listing. Only downsides were that wifi was a bit temperamental and in general a lot of the attractions we ended up going to were on the East side of the island, so we did a fair bit of driving (but that will come down to individual choices).

Fantastic location.

Access directly from the garden to a pristine beach unfrequented by anyone other than the occasional coastal path walker. Our only complaint/constructive criticism is regarding the pillows. They were plentiful but all identical - medium to firm and so springy and thick that three out of our party of five couldn't sleep on them without neck ache. Luckily two of our party had arrived in a motor home with their own pillows so we all got a good night's sleep.

The only minor things that I would say need addressing, I would say a DVD player should be available, the windows could do with a good clean, a sign on the gate to the beach saying private ( we had several people coming up to the garden to try and get through ) and some spare light bulbs would be handy.

Other than that the cottage is in a fabulous location, a bit isolated and a little way from the shops, however I don't think that is to big an issue given the advantage of having a lovely cove a the bottom of the garden with fabulous sunsets.

Just very poor WiFi , if kids have iPads etc, they may struggle.

May be worth adding to listing, Apart from that fabulous holiday.

This cottage had everything (except a bread bin!

) Very comfortable and a homely feel. Having the sea at the end of the garden was an added bonus....its a shame its fully booked for next years school holidays

Beautiful cottage, which had lovely feel to it the bonus was a beach at the end of your garden where we saw the most spectacular sunsets We enjoyed in our stay immensely, very relaxing.

Highly recommended

We loved the location, loved the venue.

We had a great time. It would be nice to have use of a radio/speaker as we didn’t realise we needed to bring our own and we love listening to music a lot. If we come again we know to bring one. Doesn’t affect our overall view of the holiday though!

Considering that we had been notified of a later check in to allow for deeper house-cleaning to meet requirements for Covid-19, we were disappointed in the standards as there was evidence of fluff, bits of toy (not ours) and dirt behind/under the settees in the t.

v. room, the rugs smell of dogs, there were dirty crock pots in the kitchen cupboards, and there was sand across the work surface in the utility room, even before we had unpacked. We reported that the range wasn't burning very hot, indeed had a yellow flame and was sooting up saucepans; that the dining room rug had been left up the wall higher that the skirting board; and that there was water pouring out of the shower unit in the walk in shower. The latter was dealt with in that we were notified that a plumber was to come out....they didn't however turn up, so wasn't resolved during our stay. The rug we moved ourselves, as it was a trip hazard and had prevented the door closing. The cottage is lovely and clearly a great location for family holidays. We will certainly look to book again. Many things you expect to work around when on holiday, because every property has its quirky features , but stating that the later check in time is to give housekeeping more time, is a massive inconvenience when it's not up to high standards that have previously been reported on reviews, and which were one consideration when choosing this property.

Very enjoyable stay with our 3 grandchildren under 7,and family.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Steps down to the beach at the end of the garden. Coastal path walk to either bay. Very comfortable ,and spacious cottage. Games and books available to use. Would like a couple more dishes that fitted into the side cooker on the range.Would add to directions,that if you pass the school on your left, you have just missed the left hand turn. Otherwise no issues. Wanted to book again whilst we were there, but already booked up.Maybe 2022.

Our Holiday was brilliant the weather was not good (storm Dennis ) But we thoroughly enjoyed our time spent inside the Beautiful Stabl Bach we could not have had anything more suitable was warm cosy everything was lovely home from home.

Beach was so close too an added advantage in warmer weather.would definitely stay again. ( Beautiful Family Time Together )

The only hiccup apart from some heavy winds was we found the cottage difficult to locate on first arrival due to a post code that did not exist on my sat nav, and some rather vague written instructions.

I phoned your office In some frustration but all they could suggest was that I return to Holyhead and refollow the instruction!!! Holyhead was about 20 minutes away. We eventually found it more by luck than judgement having stumbled across one of the way markers mentioned in guidance note. Mildly frustrating!! The cottage is very remote but wonderful, very spacious, quirky , cosy if not toasty, spotlessly clean , nicely decorated and carpeted and fully kitted out. Perfect in fact It sits next to a nice beach but sadly we did not get the weather to fully enjoy that feature The cottage also sits on the Anglesey Coastal Path with pleasant walks in both direction. Our dog loved it Very highly recommended we would loved to have stayed longer I would only add that the cottage has lots of steps and stairs and would not be great for anyone with mobility issues

Amazing cottage and the lovely touch of a Christmas tree!

It was a wild week in December but managed some lovely walks from the door. The sea was wonderful to watch We wanted to get away from it all and that’s exactly what we did... will definitely be going back.

Would have appreciated more transparency on dogs being welcome, to find when making our reservation, a charge for a second dog.

Otherwise the cottage gave our party everything we wanted for our break. It was warm, cosey and very comfortable in the stormy weather we had in our stay, the weather didn't stop us getting out and about - Great

The accommodation was fantastic - well equipped cottage in a great location.

There was everything we could have wanted and we had a wonderful holiday. The only extra thing we would have appreciated was a copy of the manufacturers manuals for some of the appliances - I had to google one to work out how to use the washing machine! These are usually supplied in the welcome book about the cottage along with the wifi code.

Fabulous location and beautifully presented property.

We will certainly visit again.

This cottage is idyllic we spent every moment on the beach at the bottom of the garden or enjoying al fresco lunches in the garden.

Glorious sunsets as we were sitting on the garden wall. It felt like home after a couple of days with every amenity in the house, it was so welcoming. We aged in family from 70 to 2! We were so sad to leave that we are going to book it again very soon. Thank you to the owners.

The family and the dogs had a great time at Stabl Bach.

We enjoyed lots of lovely walks along the coast and had the beach at the end of the garden to ourselves most days. The house was perfect, lots of space and equipped well for our weeks stay. We are already wishing we were back and will be booking for next year!

Stabl Bach was beautiful and in a lovely quiet location.

...just what we were looking for to relax and unwind . You can tell the cottage is well loved by the owners - it is well equipped , the decor is of a high standard and the whole house was immaculately presented yet very homely. We loved the finishing touches - particularly all the lovely pictures throughout the cottage . The bed was SO comfortable and we fell asleep listening to the sounds of the sea. The garden was fantastic - a great space for our dog to run and play, with an abundance of wildlife and most importantly great for an early morning cup of tea on the wall overlooking the beach

Location was wonderful, large garden, steps leading down to beach, on most days the beach was ours alone.

Would take in the view every morning, was fabulous. The grandchildren and dog loved it. The house was extremely comfortable, cosy and clean. The bedding and towels were high quality. There were plenty of mugs, plates and dishes. It had space for us all to spread out. Only one down side, would help if there was a dryer. Plus a little more of a welcome pack. Would certainly go back and would recommend to our family and friends.
