“My whole family went to Waterside, my son, daughter and partner and her three teenage children.”

We have all been two years ago last October. This time the weather was a lot warmer and our holiday was great. There is so much to do with fabulous places no more than half an hour away. The cottage is absolutely fabulous with the most glorious views from all balconies. We saw kingfishers, little egrets, herons, so many ducks which were so amusing as were all this years birds and even a red squirrel. The cottage was so comfy and has everything that you could need. We wanted for nothing ...

“This property has many stairs and even high steps up from lounge to kitchen.”

It may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues. The location in Menai Bridge is perfect for exploring ANGLESEA and SNOWDONIA. As it is a 4 bed room property it is a good family location but all the beds are doubles. The ability to configure at least some beds as twins would be an advantage.

“I have sent an email detailing issues to you but have received no response.”

Area at the front of the property around the bins was dirty and we had to sweep it. Dud lightbulbs in 4 of the lights in the house. The fitted sheet on one of the double beds was the wrong size and kept coming off. The television was broken ie had a 6inch wide strip of snow down the centre. The outside furniture was rusty and tired The window in the kitchen faced a wall covered in mould and dirt. Very unsightly! We left a charger in a socket which we discovered when we left. £15(extortionate) to have it returned which we paid a week ago. Still it isn’t here! You say that owners get complacent but the properties are advertised in your name, not theirs. 25 minutes on the phone to speak to anyone at Sykes, promised a response today. Still no contact from you. This property cost £2400 to rent for a week. We expected much better from Sykes and the owners they represent. Needless to say we won’t use them again!

“A beautifully clean, well equipped and spacious holiday home.”

Lots of interesting things to do in the area, fab places to eat and to top it all Mediterranean weather!

- Sarah, July 2021
Laurie July 2021

“A lovely spot.”

The cottage was very up to date, comfortable and well appointed. Not terribly suitable for people with mobility issues due to the number of stairs. Other than that it was excellent.

“The location was perfect.”

We all loved it.

“Extremely well furnished and equipped.”

Lovely outlook. We found the stairs a bit too much at times but we are in our 70’s and although fairly fit it’s a hike from the lounge to the first floor bedrooms. Perhaps worth mentioning as it would be a difficult house for anyone with mobility issues. We also thought the frontage didn’t do justice to this beautiful home, it looks a little tired from the outside. Unfortunately I was taken ill while there and we had to cut our holiday short but we would love to go back at some point in the future.

Andrea October 2020

“We had a lovely stay at Waterside celebrating my birthday.”

The accommodation is beautifully presented, so comfortable with the added bonus of great views from the dining area overlooking the tidal water. Great position for facilities at Menai and access to explore Anglesey. My only minor criticism is not having logs for the woodburning stove when we arrived.

- Andrea, October 2020

“Great accommodation and location.”

Excellent heating and comfort overall. Comfortable beds, great TV. Only thing - would be nice to be able to bring a dog. We would pay extra

Hayley July 2020

“Damp patches around the house, very limited parking, we had 2 cars but as the house is joined either side not much room to park.”

We had a leak in the dining area and a problem with the bathroom door. Quick response from the maintenance guy on both occasions. Overall house is in a great location for going around Anglesey and back onto the mainland. The house was very clean and comfortable and well equipped. We would stay again.

Liz November 2019

“Waterside was in a lovely spot overlooking a river and it was great to watch the ducks and swans whilst having breakfast.”

It was extremely handy being able to walk into Menai for dinner in the evening without having to drive. The house is well furnished and it’s so good having 3 bathrooms plus an extra toilet when there are 8 people.

“We love this place - this is the 2nd time we have stayed here and already planning our 3rd trip.”

Really comfortable house and a great place to spend a relaxing week.

Chris October 2019

“The cottage was absolutely stunning and the location to die for.”

Plenty of amenities around for stocking up on provisions and some lovely little pubs for meals. Went to Dylans on my daughters birthday and the meal was fantastic. Despite having 3 stroppy teenagers with us who did not really want to be there, the fair was in town and they thoroughly enjoyed the holiday. I would have no hesitation in booking Waterside again, maybe when it is a bit warmer. Fantastic holiday. Thank you Sykes Cottages.

Mike September 2019

“Great location, only a quick walk to Menai Bridge.”

Lots of ducks visiting and some swans plus it was great to see the red squirrels every day in the trees opposite the house.

- Mike, September 2019
Ann September 2019

“Kitchen was a bit small for 8 people more pans of a larger capacity would have been useful.”

Oven and trays etc were left unclean. Bulbs required for two lamps, only two pillows in one of the bedrooms. Overall however we enjoyed our stay.

- Ann, September 2019
Sally August 2019

“We found the house damp.”

The downside toilet door kept sticking. There were some broken glasses in the kitchen. Then heat alarm right over the over was not good.

Stephen September 2018

“Great house, but the best part is the wildlife show below on the inlet, kingfishers amongst many others, you can watch it all without leaving the house onto the balcony, would recommend.”

“Lovely location over looking the water.”

Only a short walk into Menai where lots of restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes and budgets. The house has been recently refurbishment, and is beautiful. All the bedrooms are spacious with comfy beds. Property was ideal for a group of adults with a baby, but I wouldn’t recommend to stay in this property with young children due to the various steps and water edge location. We did have a slight issue with a blocked shower tray, but I have no doubt this would have been fixed prior to the next guests arriving.

“The property was like a show house.”

Beautifully clean. Fabulous views from all the decks.The owners were so friendly and helpful. They even left small shampoos conditioners and shower gels in the bathrooms. Never rented such a wonderful property before.

“The "cottage" was amazing the standard of finish was excellent.”

The facilities were so good! We found wine, bread, milk all there waiting for us with provision to make a brew as soon as we got there. WE needed nothing as even the washing up liquid and cloths were provided! The photos don't do this cottage justice it was far better than we had hoped and can't wait to go again

“A beautiful and comfortable cottage.”

Unfortunately the lock was very noisy, sounding throughout the house and waking any sleepers up.

“Although not Menai Cottage remit,the cottage owners left a booklet with instructions but some of it was left blank, for example when the refuse collection was - had to ask the people next door.”

Too many remote controls on the table with no instructions what was what. The television did not work in the room that I stayed in - no signal apparently coming up and again 2 remote controls and not instructions. The cottage had big windows - but they were not clean and had finger marks over them, as this cottage is advertised for its views across the Menai straight - it was a pity that the windows were not clean. As this stay was work related it was very convenient for us to get to the Eisteddfod in Bodedern. I would recommend Menai Cottage to people and if I was up in North Wales again on holiday would certainly look at Menai Cottage website.

The property

Spread over 3 floors this refurbished holiday house, on the south east corner of Anglesey, is absolutely fabulous!

What a pleasure to sit on the terrace or the balcony to watch the tide ebb in and out and watch the abundance of bird life that frequent the Menai. "What an amazing and atmospheric place!

Nestling in a sheltered tidal inlet of the Menai Strait you will find it hard to tear yourself away from the ever changing views." The small town of Menai Bridge, famous for it's suspension bridge, is fast becoming a foodie destination, with Michelin Star Sosban and vibrant Dylan's to name but a few are an easy stroll from Waterside. There is so much to see and do in this area and Waterside holiday house is such a warm, comfortable and stylish home to come back to after a day out exploring.

About the location

MENAI BRIDGE

Llanfairpwllgwyngyll 2 miles; Bangor 2.5 miles; Beaumaris 4.5 miles; Caernarfon 8 miles

This delightful town sits right on the edge of the Isle of Anglesey and is home to one of two bridges to mainland Wales. It is an ideal base for a holiday and is great for exploring this beautiful island. It has a strong history which can be discovered in the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum, the well known Saint Tysilio lived on Church Island, just off of Anglesey in the 7th century, hence the name of the 15th century St. Tysilio's Church. Menai Bridge itself offers a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. 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. The Snowdonia National Park is within driving distance for you outdoor enthusiasts, it has wonderful walking, cycling and opportunities to see some beautiful sights. Nearer to the town, there are some incredible places including the popular towns of Beaumaris and Caernarfon with their majestic castles and much more to do.
