"What a fab location - not many people can say that they've stayed in a lighthouse."
Loved our week, the weather went from 12 degrees the first 2 days but then went to 20 degrees but, it never stopped us getting out. There is such a lot to see on Anglesey - really loved the walk at the copper mine which was a very surreal landscape and thoroughly enjoyed it. The walk to the lighthouse at Newborough Beach was also a stand-out from our week - fab scenery (the new car park NOT advertised enough). Beautiful and can't wait to explore Anglesey more - highly recommend.

"The cottage was all prepared on our arrival."
We were welcomed by the owners and there was also a lovely and unexpected welcome pack.
During our stay a number of the party changed. There was no problem with clean towels and bedding on the day we requested. Beautiful location as well.

"A perfect place to get away from it all, especially if you enjoy peace and quiet, observing nature and walking."
The access road to the lighthouse is easy to negotiate. Lots of places to visit nearby - Anglesey is delightful. After a day of exploring it was lovely to return to this very comfortable, clean and well-equipped historic cottage. The owners are very welcoming. Could not have had a better week away.

"Great spot with good facilities in the cottage which was clean and well maintained with plenty of cushions, bedding and useful information about the surrounding area."
A few relatively minor points, it would have been useful to have a measuring jug for cooking and simple instructions on how to use the oven, it took us some time to get the hang of it. We put all the recycling in the correct place but didn't realise we had to place it in a certain place for it to be collected so unfortunatly it got left. I don't know exactly what the answer would be but occasionally it was too hot and we could not control the heating so had to open the windows which is a bit of a waste of energy.
On the whole the cottage was very suitable for our stay and exceeded our expectations.

Cottage has everything you could possibly need. Beautiful location and breathtaking views. Owners are lovely, helpful and there should you require anything. Lovely fresh flowers on the kitchen table and Welsh cakes left for us, thank you, delicious! We especially loved the wild pony that came to our kitchen window in the morning.
We will definitely return to this beautiful place.

"I booked the cottage as a birthday treat for my partner as a little break to look forward to during our February half-term."
We could not have been more thrilled with the location, the warm welcome from Iona and Robin, and, as for the cottage itself - it was brim-full of thoughtful details to make it a relaxing stay - even amidst storm Franklin, which certainly added to the excitement! The view from the living room window must be unparalleled. The boys and I enjoyed watching the pilot boats going out for the pilots to navigate the larger vessels into Liverpool, and learning about the history of the lighthouse and cottages. We were able to plan visits to several local (and further afield) attractions / beauty spots during our stay, as well as having plenty of time to enjoy a log fire, (Iona's homemade cake treats!) and a glass of wine or two of an evening. We were all thoroughly enchanted by our stay - including the three boys, 13, 10 and 2 who all thought it was amazing!

"West keepers lighthouse, first there was the major drafts that blew through the kitchen window secondly there was Greece dripping from the ceiling because the extraction fan has not been fixed."
Light bulbs out in the kitchen and a wall light hanging off the wall in the lounge, these are very simple maintenance fixes surly the owners can see these problems before they let the property. I would go on but there’s no enough hours in the day.

"Lovely cottage in a fantastic location!"
Really enjoyed our stay here in October, the cottage is well stocked and was very cosy with warm heating and lovely comfy beds. The photos don't do it justice, it really is beautiful with high ceilings and spacious rooms. The lovely owners came to get us on our first morning to show us dolphins off the peninsula and we saw multiple dolphins or porpoises most days which was incredible. Only improvement would be a larger fridge as the under counter one was a bit small for 6 people for a week.

"The cottage was very clean and spacious and never too cold, even in January, and the location dramatic."
The warm and friendly welcome was lovely and it is clear the owner has thought an awful lot about what it is like for a guest to arrive at a self-catering cottage, by providing just about everything one could imagine needing. We took with us everything we needed but the attention to detail were beyond what we expected.
We enjoyed it so much we have booked another stay, so of course we would recommend the West Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage for couples and families, but it would be difficult for people with physical disabilities. Note the nearest shops are about 3 miles away so a car is essential.

cottage size great plenty of space in kitchen, bedrooms and bathroom. Beds were comfortable and warm. The High Standard as depicted was not entirely true and several failings on behalf of the owner on the cleanliness, upkeep and quality of the cottage and it furnishings were very apparent and has gave us a bit if a downer on our stay. The cottage and surrounding premises are up for sale which makes us think the owner had given up on making it the high standard he claimed it was. information has been sent to Menai holiday cottages and they have informed me that they will advise owner of problems and will visit the premises. I think only if they actually stay in the cottage as a secret shopper' will they see if it has been improved.
