Bryniau

So whilst the weather was extreme… very windy and wet, the property provided the perfect sanctuary for the family.

It is a wonderful place to stay good weather or bad. A great location and has all the facilities for a fantastic family stay or with friends.

Fantastic location and great facilities.

Thank you for the lovely welcome pack. We would highly recommend a stay at Bryniau. The property has great quality furnishings, our only minor observations were that the furniture in the lounge had some minor marks, it looks like water marks.

The house is beautiful and the views are even better in real life.

The photos really do not do it justice. It completely exceeded our expectations. The location is ideal. It is quiet and peaceful, but you are still really close to everything, with the bay just a short stroll away. Inside, it feels really well thought through and finished to a high standard without feeling over the top. The beds were so comfortable, with lovely quality linen. We slept incredibly well, which does not always happen when you are away from home. The underfloor heating in parts of the house was also a really nice touch, especially on cooler mornings. It worked perfectly for us with our dog too. We walked him most days along the coastal path right outside the house and did not need to get in the car at all, which made things so easy. The welcome touches were very much appreciated. The wine and coffee for the bean to cup machine were a lovely surprise and such a nice way to start the stay. All in all, Bryniau feels like somewhere special, stylish, comfortable and in a fantastic spot. We would happily come back.

We enjoyed our holiday but I want to make some points that require attention.

Two of us stayed in the annex and the heating failed on Sunday in the annex. The curtain track was broken when we arrived in the bedroom and so I could not draw the curtains properly at night.The kitchen area of the annex had no crockery or pans for cooking so could not be used . Finally, there were insufficient toilet rolls for 11 people staying over 3 nights and we had to go out and buy extra toilet paper. When we arrived in the annex there was one and a quarter rolls of toilet paper to last 3 nights. There was no information in the house about operating the heating or anything else.

Our second stay at Bryniau.

Overall we enjoyed the property. However there are some issues that we feel really need to be addressed. Internet access very poor. Cellphone and TV streaming services impossible, so unable to access IPlayer, Netflix etc. (2 of the WiFi extension hubs showed red error lights). When we arrived,we found the outdoor furniture cushions had been left outside on the deck and were completely soaked through, rendering the furniture unusable. This was particularly very disappointing since one of the main attractions of this property is to sit and relax on the outside deck. Complete re-inventory needed for crockery in the lower kitchen area. There were no cups or even a teaspoon down there!

We loved the house, it was even more lovely that we expected, great to be able to walk to the beach.

Views wonderful. Unfortunately we could not enjoy the view on arrival as the windows were dirty. We had to clean them ourselves. Would recommend employing a window cleaner. Otherwise the house was spotlessly clean. On the penultimate evening, we noticed water dripping down one of the lights in the kitchen while one of party was having a shower upstairs. We contacted the out of hours phone line, who responded quickly, saying that would contact the local team and to send a handyman the following day. We did not hear anything more after that, so we’re unable to use the shower upstairs. We hope it is in hand, as potentially dangerous to future guests and damaging to the property.

Property was lovely, lots of room, comfortable beds, lack of kitchen accessories ie cloths, kitchen roll, tea towels, hand towels etc Poor response from Sykes cottages - I rang/messaged 48 hours before our visit to ask if we could extend our departure time on our last day from 10am to midday as we were celebrating an 80th birthday but I heard nothing until the day after we returned home after our 3 night stay!

We loved our time at Bryniau, it was a family holiday with my parents and siblings and children.

The annex was brilliant for my elderly parents, it made the holiday easier for them with everything being on one level. We would love to stay again. A couple of things to mention, there were no plasters in the first aid kit, we struggled with the TV, instructions would have helped, no hairdryer, we couldn’t find any seat covers for the outside chairs. Not that any of that spoilt our holiday. The views were amazing and a sunset every night, we were so lucky with the weather.

The perfect house for multi generational get together.

We stayed for Easter the house was beautiful with high end appliances and furniture. The beds super comfy and beautiful bedding. The views from the house are stunning ,superb location pub a short walk and the beach. Lovely cafes and restaurants in the village . But book very popular. Local shop sells everything and lovely to pick up fresh croissants and paper in the morning. Thankyou for the EV charger code did find it difficult to contact Skye’s about this . Really hope we can return .

Location and views from property excellent.

Property well equipped and thought out. Enjoyed a lovely stay.

Excellent property for 12 people.

Great spot with lovely views. Would highly recommend

Had a wonderful holiday, absolutely beautiful views from the balconies and bedrooms!

Loved the open plan living kitchen space. Close to beaches and amenities.

Great stay .

Fabulous house for me as I'm disabled but getting up to the sitting room was easy. Pans were not clean and no cleaning products so had to go shopping for dishwasher tablets and some washing up liquid at 5pm. One of our party said the skirting boards needed cleaning.

Perfect location for a family gathering so close to all amenities especially the beach!

Very pleased.

Thank you.

The property was excellent, very clean & well presented.

Really liked the layout & all the extra rooms we kept finding. The views were stunning. We will be back,

Excellent, almost perfect stay in a wonderful house where everything was high quality and the layout and location was ideal for the guests attending.

I cannot recommend this place enough and would love to go back next October. So why almost perfect, well we had to leave after after seven days but the weather although great, we couldnt help that this place in the summer would be...perfect

Beautiful property in a fabulous location, with great views.

The house was perfect for our extended family. My mum even had her own Granny Anex on the lower level complete with separate kitchen and wet room. The owners were even kind enough to share their Electric charging point to save us trying to charge on the island! We will definitely be returning Chris

Our third year here!

House still very well equipped and super comfortable. Fantastic location also remains the feature attraction for us. Disappointed that the smashed pane on the balcony still not repaired over a year later though. WiFi is very poor and more of an issue for us this year with having bad weather and spending more time inside. The smart tv is effectively redundant with no chance of streaming an uninterrupted family movie in the evening.

Good location Lovely spacious property Have stayed before and would return no hesitation

The premises was positioned at an excellent location but had a few internal issues with the shower leaking and the heating system faulty.

The issues were reported and the lady who attended the location to review the issues was outstanding and took matters to task straight away and they were sorted! The one thing that could be added to the location is a long hosepipe to allow flushing out of watercraft after a day at sea

Magnificent property in a superb location on the wonderful island of Anglesey.

Highly recommended!

Absolutely amazing place to stay.

We been lucky enough and had beautiful weather so could use every part of the building not inside only. Very recommended

Fabulous house.

We have been visiting Anglesey for 50 years and I must say this house is the best we have stayed in. The facilities and position of the house were perfect for our holiday. We asked for all beds to be zipped so we had five doubles for five couples. There was everything you could need. I even worked from the house on the wifi and that worked perfectly aswell ( I was a bit worried as previous visitors had struggled). The views from the gorgeous decking area will stay with us for many years. Many thanks, we will be back.

Excellent thoughtful design, spacious, well equipped and tastefully furnished throughout, beautiful views and ideal location.

Bryniau is a lovely holiday home providing areas for different family needs. Three small points; Travel directions would be simpler from J2 (not 3) off the A55 from where Treaddur Bay is more clearly signed. The kitchen crockery needs more cereal bowls please We were sad that there was not more focus on recycling, certainly on managing food waste separately. The bins were emptied on Wednesday not Friday, maybe affected by the Bank Holiday. But nevertheless, a lovely place to which we will hopefully return soon. Many thanks Frances Hulbert and family

This is a comfortable, warm (in February), well equipped house.

As a party of eleven mature adults we found the main room to be a sociable space, but plenty of other places for anyone wanting to read quietly etc. Great location. Only downside was the unreliable WiFi that other reviews have mentioned. We all loved our stay and would return and recommend.

The house is fantastic!

Great location great facilities! The only issue we had was no WiFi but I feel this was a minor issue !

Lovely house in a beautiful area.

Beautiful sunsets. Spacious but cosy. Only bad point was inoperable WiFi. Two of our party needed the WiFi for work but couldn't use it and so had to drive out. The TV mostly links to it also. Personnel did attend to rectify the issue, that helped briefly, but went off again not long after. This said, would not hesitate to rebook for family occasions.

Fabulous property and location.

Was perfect for our 80th birthday family celebrations. We are only local but wanted somewhere where all the family could gather. Everything was perfect particularly the ground floor annexe and the open plan living area on the first floor. Would recommend to others and would definitely revisit. Beautiful views and good location. Thank you

Stunning property, perfect for us, 8 adults and 3 children, 1 well behaved dog for a big family celebration.

Enough space not to feel on top of each other. The position of the property is perfect with stunning views from nearly all the rooms. The weather was terrible but we still had a great time. Will definitely be returning in the future.

It was a lovely house.

Very comfortable beds and luxurious bathrooms - plenty of toilets too

Lovely, clean home for family holidays.

The position is beautiful with views all around bedrooms and on balcony. Pub on doorstep serving food with lovely staff and a walk around bay to coffee shop and restaurant next door which we would walk to every day for morning coffee , excellent food and service and restaurant beautiful. The house has all comforts of home .

Excellent property in fabulous location.

We are booking for next year !

Fabulous house to stay in - comfortable and clean throughout the house.

Shame the middle glass section on balcony is still smashed as it spoilt the fantastic views. Enjoyed our stay would definitely go back

Superb holiday home in a glorious location with outstanding views.

It felt like being at home as it was so comfortable and accommodating. Didn’t need to bring half the stuff we did as it was all there already. Just wish it was ours and we could go back at any time!

The house is beautiful and a perfect location enjoying great sea views .

Previous reviews did point out the broken glass panel on the decking and that hasn’t been rectified . Also , the toaster doesn’t work correctly . However these factors did not spoil our enjoyment of a lovely property .

A wonderful place to spend a holiday.

Stunning, clean, well appointed, comfy beds & luxury fittings & accessories. The annex and accessible facilities were perfect for grandparents (couple of shelves in bathroom would be useful for toiletries) with easy access from cars. Then just 3 steps up into main living area, fabulous kitchen and views that knocked our socks off! Plenty of space for 6 adults, 2 tweens and a dog (would suggest not ideal for young toddlers due to layout/steps etc). Beautiful Sandy beach, coves with rock pools, great clean swimming; downstairs wet room is excellent for washing & drying wetsuits, kit, sandy shoes & salty swimmers; lovely restaurants (although you’ll need to book ahead as v busy), balconies perfect for sun-downers. We hope to be back!

We all judged this to be a perfect holiday accommodation for our family of 11 people and3 generations Two small points though I would suggest any defects present before tenants arrive are noted ie a smashed verandah panel and blocked toilets The later was efficiently dealt with before our stay ended Also we were not able to access the post box Otherwuse a tir8uly wonderful holiday home Thankyou

The location is lovely and the views are better than advertised.

The beds and bedding were both of high quality and very comfortable. The facilities provided were great and the use of space is ingenious. The sofas in the sitting room looked attractive but were not suitable for the older members of our party! It was a shame that there was a broken panel of glass on the balcony as it did impact the view and the overall feeling of luxury that the property would otherwise have had. Unfortunately during our stay there was construction going on next door which meant that it was busy with people, vans and noise from 7.30am-5pm. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would go back, provided the neighbouring builds don’t obscure the views!

We loved the showers and hanging for wetsuits downstairs.

Brilliant idea. The house was very well equipped, didn’t want for anything extra. It would be difficult to beat the location and the fabulous views. The sofas in the main room were very uncomfortable. The heat in the house at night made sleep difficult and the windows wouldn’t open sufficiently to allow enough cool fresh air. If the weather had been hot it could have been unbearable.

Great location and nice house but it needs a good clean inside.

Lots of cigarettes outside the property as well. It could really do with extra stair gates due to the layout.

In general, our stay at Bryniau was great, but there were two issues that caused problems and that we feel should have been disclosed.

One of our party has mobility issues and we chose Bryniau because of its apparent accessibility features. Firstly, there needs to be access to the deck from the lounge, rather than requiring the use of the external steps. While there was a door, it was locked and we could not obtain the key from the manager. This effectively prevented us from using it. Secondly, the couches in the lounge are too low for older people to use, which our party mainly consisted of. We enjoyed our stay, but unless these issues are resolved, we would not book again. Thanks.

Overall the house is fantastic, but there are a few things that would have improved our stay as a group.

The house has a lot of stairs around the living area but there is only one baby gate on the top level of the house so we had to block the stairs with chairs and things from around the house as we had young children toddling around. The toaster doesn’t work properly in the kitchen, and there is no microwave in the main kitchen, only in the annex kitchen. The pillows in the bedrooms are awful. The smell in the shower room upstairs is disgusting at first but it does go after the shower has been used. The house is lovely overall and the view is amazing.

Amazing place with fantastic views.

A very well thought out property, which at first glance appears like a rabbit warren. Every space has been utilised to the best. The main rooms all had fantastic views of the sea. We found the many light switches in the main room hilarious to fathom as those that settled in earlier could hear clicking as we switched off at nighttime. We were a mix of middle aged and grandchildren celebrating two 60th birthdays. We were blessed with great weather, but there is plenty to see even off season. The children had plenty of room to explore and run about outside. We had everything available to cook family meals, were warm enough even when we had frozen nights. Nothing but the finest in the quality of beds and furnishings. The towels were huge and fluffy. Plenty of hot water for relaxing in the bath. We would certainly love to return sometime. Now the negatives. We arrived to a sink full of dirty water with two sponges floating in it. The place was surface clean only, with dirty and greasy oven pans. Mouse droppings under the big coffee table in the lounge and other bits under sofas, a hair bobble, Pringles lid etc. (I have photos). The cleaners don’t appear to have the tools to do a good job. There were nothing to clean the oven with. The vacuum cleaner was blocked with hair. Upon unblocking it, the hoover collected a full container of fluff and worked perfectly. The shower room upstairs smells of dirty mop. We purchased two bottles of bathroom drain unblocker and lifted the drain bar..it needs doing again to solve a simple problem. People have commented on this before. One toaster, reported broken Sept 21 is still broken. A pane of toughened glass was shattered out on the decking (wasn’t an issue but needs fixing). It was after two storms. We had to buy the basics in order to keep the place clean, washing up liquid, surface cleaner, a dish cloth, bathroom sponges, green veg recycling bags. These are usually provided on all holiday rentals. Really picky now. There is only one pillow per head, so if you sleep more raised up, you will have to bring your own. Please don’t be put off. The place has the wow factor and we had a fabulous stay

Amazing place, will definitely book again.

Excellent facilities and beautifully thought out design.

Stunning views. Initial problems with heating resolved very quickly once the local office were advised. Would love to return in the summer even though we are only 50 minutes away rather than take a foreign holiday.

The safety gate at the top of the stairs needs replacing/repairing as not very safe.

Also if we were being really picky, it would be great to have condiments available (salt and pepper). The house was fabulous though, referred to as a ‘mansion’ by my nephew! It is beautiful and cosy beds, with amazing views. We priced it up for the summer, it’s very expensive for a 4 night stay which is a shame!

We had a fantastic long weekend at Bryniau.

A group of good friends getting together in the most perfect setting. Quirky, but excellent, layout with amazing terraces on three different levels. Really good quality linens and crockery and an excellent TV. There is so much space and all the bedrooms have incredible views. Amazing weather for two days then a wild, wet and windy day. The house is perfect to snuggle up in and watch the crashing waves. Excellent location for coastal walking and playing on the beach. Close to a couple of shops and lots of restaurants. Will definitely return Two minor comments - no cheese grater and not enough tea towels. Other than that, a memorable weekend in a memorable place.

What a fabulous property.

We loved our stay at Bryniau. The quality of the furnishings, the layout, the comfort of the beds, the facilities are all top notch. We also struggled with the WiFi - only one person was able to log on - but it didn't impact our stay. We would recommend this property to anyone and would love to stay again.

Lovely house with great views, easy walks to the beach and plenty of space indoors and out.

Self contained lower rooms were great for people with mobility issues However disappointed with the following - Internet connection very poor, only worked on first day. Coffee machine had green mouldy grinds in which had obviously been there a while. Large dark carpet stain in upstairs bedroom and both sofas in living room stained. Shower outlet in upstairs shower desperately needs cleaning as there is an awful smell so couldn’t use it. In need of some TLC to bring it up to 4 star and surprisingly no welcome pack

it took 3 days before the Wi-Fi worked as the number that was left to call in the welcome pack did not work if there were any problems so we rang your head office and spoke to Sam he was very helpful and said he would call back at 12.

30 on the Monday to see if it had been sorted but never rang but late on the Sunday night the wi-fi just started working ??? just a note that the cleaners could check under the coffee table and sofas as there were sweets under them which drove the dog mad till we cleaned them up. the only over thing was that before we went away i sent an email and called to find out what kind of duvets were on the beds as one of the party is allergic to feather down but i never got a reply

I was called at the end of the holiday by one of your colleagues, who told me that two duvets were missing.

I was driving and said we had not taken them. When I was able to stop I called others in the house and they said that an enthusiastic teenager may have misread the instructions (they contradict in emails and leaflets) and put the duvets in the washing bag. I then spent 15 minutes trying to phone through and suggest this to your colleague but ended up speaking to a rude man who refused to take a message until I told him my name, address, email and phone number. Given that this had already cost me at least half an hour to simply make a suggestion that someone should look in the laundry, I was more than a little short and simply told him to take a message. This he refused to do without all the other information. I put the phone down. He knew my name, he had already looked at the account and knew which house we had hired. Why he wouldn’t take a message, I do not know…… We didn’t steal the duvets, they will be in the laundry, and I will be sorely angry if you charge me for two duvets on the back of his inability to simply take a message……

A fantastically equipped property.

Its the little things that make the difference like proper branded stainless steel cutlery and utensils, a quality coffee machine, comfortable and fresh bed linen, clean bathrooms with space, good heating system, lots of ligh inside, all wall plugs clean and operational, etc, etc, etc. Good decor, excellent patio and lots of external space for parking. Well done to the house owners for holiday letting a quality property at a reasonable price.
