“Best dog friendly cottage we have stayed in - this was our third stay.”

Great location and views. Owner respects your privacy but on hand if needed.

“A lovely relaxing stay in a most beautiful location.”

The views from the garden are breathtaking and we spent many happy hours watching the wildlife as the tide ebbed and rose. The boathouse provides good accommodation for two and can easily accommodate more.

“We arrived at the cottage to be greeted by blue shoe covers on the chair as you go in!”

Hmm not the best of starts but took our shoes off which we would have done anyway!. William was there lighting the fire for us and that was great . The cottage is lovely and very different but the list of do's and don'ts was extensive :( replace fire lighter and kindling, pay for logs, don't mess with heating, meters will be read on your departure,don't put clothes on radiators and when you leave strip the bed put bedding and used towels in bag and put it in basket at front door, as for the recycling.... Kitchen was easy enough to use very compact and everything you could want and you have the use of a washing machine in drying room but you have to arrange to get a key. That said we went to get away from it all and get away from it all we did. We never saw Judith or Willliam once and once the calor gas heaters were on and the fire burning it was very cosy. On the whole we did enjoy our time but we were always concious of the rules and thats not what you go away for

“Faultless location and quirky place, peace and quiet personified, whole family will miss the place”
John Thompson

“The kitchen could do with upgrading it was very compact and hard work to try and prepare meals , the low beams upstairs was not good , the views was fantastic.”

couldnt fault Mrs Moss very helpful .
“Absolutely loved the location, quirkiness & peacefulness of the cottage.”

The wood burner was really welcome but I would have liked to know about fuel charges beforehand. Facilities were adequate & it would have been an excellent but the shower was a bit disappointing in it's strength & temperature control.
“The cottage itself was clean, welcoming, cosy, comfy and its location was fabulous.”

My sister and I instantly felt at home.

“Fantastic location and 'quirky' feel to the place.”

Host was lovely. We just felt the place needed a bit of TLC: The kitchen was not up to standard, there was no storage place for dry food and it really needs a rethink, an oven would be better and safer. Far too may instructions about bins, wood, heating etc that was a bit of a put off. We were informed to replace newspaper, fire lighters, kindling before we leave and to strip the beds, this did not make it feel like a holiday. An all inclusive price would be better and would cut out the hassle and worry of how much the electricity bill was going to come to.
“Cottage seems to be a mixture of art class, storage space and holiday let.”

Parts very cosy and comfortable, kitchen inadequate, microwave not working on arrival could be cleaner. Large open area not insulated so needed a lot of heating adding extra cost to holiday. Access occasionally blocked. View fantastic lovely location, more attention to detail would make all the difference, needs a fitted kitchen a proper bathroom and shower, needs insulation. Space could be used much better

“Because in truth that's what its worth”

Thank you for your feedback. I will let the owner that you had a problem with the heating - I do wish you had contacted us during your stay as I am sure we could have done something to help you if there was a fault. With regards to the kitchen and shower room, we do feel that these are accurately marketed on the website, with clear pictures. It is not a cottage for everyone, and so sorry it was not the one for you.
The owner knows there was a problem with the heating and she was really nice, I know its booked solid but you asked for my review and I gave it. sorry. Sykes owner relations
“Absolutely fabulous, very comfortable and convenient, delightful”

“Beautiful inside and out.”

Bijou and bohemian style. Set in stunning private grounds with the Menai Straits literally at the bottom of your garden. A little piece of Heaven on Earth.

Thank you for your great comments, we are so happy you enjoyed your stay at The Boathouse Cadnant Gate, it is in a beautiful spot and we hope to welcome you back soon Sykes owner relations

The property

This is a holiday ‘cottage’ in Menai Bridge with a difference!

The Boathouse sits within a pretty garden in Cadnant Gate and overlooks the Menai Strait.

From the cottage you can see across towards Snowdonia and across to the Menai suspension bridge. The Boathouse is made up of a large, open plan living space with a seating nook which you can draw the curtains around to make it feel more snug.

The woodburner provides extra warmth and cosiness, should you be staying in the colder months. There is a small galley kitchen with a Belfast sink, electric hot plate, microwave combi oven and fridge with ice compartment.

No uber modern fitted kitchens here, but it’s quirky and perfectly serviceable.

You also have a shower room with shower, loo and wash hand basin and electric heater.

For the occasional extra guest there is a futon and a sprung sofa bed that can be curtained off to give them privacy. Up the open-tread stairs you’ll find another little seating area, along with the double bed. If you want to stay in a holiday cottage on Anglesey with a difference, then Boathouse Cadnant Gate might just be for you!

Situated close to Menai Bridge, you’ll be able to walk to pubs, cafes, restaurants, independent shops and activities such as Rib Ride.

If you fancy a longer walk, why not stroll into Beaumaris, or head out in the car and explore further afield on Anglesey or Snowdonia?

This is a well-positioned holiday cottage for explorers and those who like a more unusual base!

In terms of entertainment, this is an ideal spot with something for everybody, there is the butterfly palace 'Pili Palas' which is incredibly popular with families, as well as the astounding Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens well worth a walk around.
