Mr Molyneux
October 2020

“Great views, lovely area with friendly locals, cosy warm feeling with the wood burner.”

Not much I can say about this lovely property that has not already been said by other guests. We used the cottage as base for our travels around Anglesey and Snowdonia. The local wildlife visiting the garden was a real bonus but you will need to be up early to see the red squirrel, rabbits, pheasants and more. If it is your first time visiting the cottage, the drive down / parking area (good space for several cars) will take you to the side of the cottage and not the front and you will see ...

“Aber is a stunning cottage, wonderful views.”

The cottage has everything you need. It was so comfortable

Mrs Powis September 2020

“We loved the cottage and it was well appointed with a lovely, distant sea view.”

The cottage was clean, warm and thoroughly cosy - a really home-from-home! The cottage is close to the coastal path and to local beaches, the immediate lawned garden was nicely tended and it’s situated close to Moelfre. We would definitely try to book again.

Mr Lockhart November 2019

“We had a great winter break at this propety and was a perfect get away.”

This is a lovely little property, with stunning views in an amazing location and a beach within 5 minutes walk away. Cleanliness of this property definately needs improvement and the cleaning company responsible needs to be spoken to about their standards. Having food stained shelves in the fridge, dirty pans and trays, filthy towels in the kitchen and decreped washing up sponges was far from ideal.

- Mr Lockhart, November 2019

Thank you for your feedback, We were horrified to learn of the fact the our home was not up to its (our) normal standards and we can only apologise wholeheartedly. Aber is our family cottage, we love it and use is as often as we can and we are very proud of keeping it clean, tidy and presentable. Sadly, this was not the case for your visit as, regrettably, a temporary cleaner did not reach our normal standards. Something of which we were not aware until reading your review. Please accept our apologies and rest assured this is not how we would have wished you to find Aber and we would have been round in a flash had we learned of this sooner. We hope you can return again in the future. Sykes owner relations
Mr Toporowskyj October 2019

“Holiday cottage was nice as we had been before.”

As for Sykes I am not happy with them as we had booked the cottage for 2 years in a row with mini holidays as they have been bought out it seems like they do not care that they had given out booking away for 2020. Earlier on in the year we used Sykes again and the holiday home in Whitby was disgusting so bad that we left 2 hours later after we had arrived.

“Lovely place but could be improved with a downstairs toilet”

Mrs Marsh August 2019

“As with any holiday we were slightly anxious when we arrived, not really knowing what to expect.”

..Aber Cottage, however, totally exceeded all expectations! Such a beautiful location with splendid sea views and glorious gardens suited us all, including Miley our pooch! It’s sited well to access Moelfre by foot as well as the glorious coastal walks and amazing beaches. Cosy and welcoming - we hope we can afford to go back! X

Mr Thickett June 2019

“Stayed at Aber for one week from 28th June 2019, two adults and a small dog.”

Make no mistake this is a fabulous cottage in a fabulous setting.What isn't apparent from the listing is the size and privacy of the gardens which are brilliant for the dog (and the adults) and the property is nicely set back from the road about 100 yards down a little access lane.The sea views are genuine and it was nice to see the cows trotting over the adjacent field 3 or 4 times a day.The nearby beach is also great and if not driving (there is a beach bar/café) just a 15 minute walk from the cottage down a quiet road. Easy access by car to all the beaches on the island, I don't think we drove more than 25 minutes at the furthest point to Newborough which has a huge forest and also Newborough Warren a huge dune system adjacent to the beach.Nice pub in the village and decent shopping a couple of miles away.The cottage is well equipped particularly in the kitchen and the furnishings very comfortable throughout the house.We would strongly recommend Aber particularly if you have a dog and even if you don't.I had read some reviews about the small quarry to the rear of the property and can only say we barely noticed it was there, I assume the staff were all on the beach and who could blame them. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Mrs Taraniuk June 2019

“Unexpectedly chilly weather.”

The cottage was so warm and comfortable. We managed two beach days on a lovely nearby beach with cafe and loos. We found plenty to do on the wet days and are planning to go again. The cottage was exceptionally well equipped and the caretaker very helpful and came round promptly when we had a problem with the television.

“Very nice house, well away from the road and with good views etc.”

Very child-friendly with robust stairgate at the top of the stairs and good selection of proper toys for young kids [ours is 2.5 years old and loved the wooden bus]. Warm house with good heating, and good kitchen with nice cooker and clean spacious fridge, idiot-proof kettle & toaster & dishwasher etc, good big cooker, and whole house done out tastefully with decent appliances and with easy stress-free living in mind. Solid reliable wireless internet throughout the house. Proper wooden kitchen table & chairs to linger on, and comfie sofas if that's your thing. Only giving it 4 stars due to the occasionally slightly noisy work at the top of the track [not that it ever bothered us I should say, and not intrusive in any way] and cos we enjoy a good strong gushing shower [it's a simple though I should stress effective electric shower that cleans rather than delights]. We'd recommend the house for its location, and its calm and simple but elegant set-up,and would happily return.

“Very clean and tidy.”

One observation would have liked a larger freezer. Issue with towels on arrival one bath towel and one hand towel each left on bed to last two weeks for two people. Had to contact menai cottages who rang back and said the caretaker kept spare towels under the stairs and we could use these. There should have been adequate towels left out. One complaint. One of the single quilts was very badly stained it looked as if a child had wet the bed. This should not have gone back on a bed very unhygienic.

Could maybe benefit from an outside toilet.

“Wonderful cottage in a perfect location.”

Everything was catered for our comfort. Superb views of the sea which only took about 2 minutes to drive to - we enjoyed the private location and would be more than happy to visit again

“Excellent very clean and comfortable.”

One or two changes made since our last visit. One observation in my opinion a larger freezer would be useful especially when staying two weeks.

“This cottage is amazing lovely views plenty of room gardens are spacious Everything you need is catered for”

- Sean Coyston,
“A gorgeous cottage in a fabulous location.”

This was the best equipped of all of the Menai cottages we had stayed in (our sixth) not least because it was clearly a much loved family holiday home with everything from a great cooker to plentiful crockery, cutlery etc to books and toys. We loved it!

“Always clean and well maintained.”

Gardens lovely for views and sitting out. Improving the experience every year.

“Love this homely cottage.”

Well appointed. Superb views. So peaceful

- Sue Burton,
“We have visited many times 6 in all.”

It is a lovely base for a family with so much space outside or for a couple who just want a quiet spot to relax. There is a quarry but this year we noticed it was much quieter. The decoration and furnishings are in character with the farmhouse.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are really happy that you enjoyed your stay at Aber, we hope to see you back in North Wales soon!
