“A delightful cottage which is very tastefully and thoughtfully appointed.”

Spacious and had

Spacious and had everything we needed. The owners who live next door are friendly and very helpful. The cottage has beautiful views across the Menai Strait to Anglesey and great sunsets. Local amenities and places to dine out not far away. All the attractions of Snowdonia are within easy reach. A beautiful base, so much to see and do. We hope to return.

“Owners were very friendly and helpful.”

Cottage was in good order and we had a very nice time. Would very much recommend staying at Penrallt cottage with it's great views and ideal location for exploring N and Central Wales. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

“Property is generally very nice, however, both external doors were difficult to lock and unlock especially for older persons or those with less hand mobility.”

Also the bathroom and bedroom doors although quirky, were warped, again, making difficult to open and close. The shower/wc door is of a sliding type in similar construction to the others and was difficult to close and also very noisy especially at night, as the bottom of the door rubbed on the plaster adjacent. Also, on the last night when trying to get a good sleep for a long drive back, the owner's dog decided to bark and eventually stopped at 12.20 am. An apology was forthcoming the following morning but this didn't really help having spoiled what had been an enjoyable week. I would now think twice about going back!!!!

“The whole stay was very easy to organise via the Sykes website and the cottage itself exceeded our expectations.”

The location, scenery and comfort makes us wish we had stayed longer.

“The property is in A1 condition and is located in a super elevated position with great views and plenty of parking.”

The owners are very helpful and live in an adjacent property, so they can be contacted easily in case you have any questions when you arrive.

“Our expectations are quite high, so MET EXPECTATIONS is a good rating.”

“Beautiful week”

Brought mum and dad here and blown away with the stunning views or the Menai straits. The cottage is beautiful and spacious and well equipped and close to the village But be warned you are on a hill so fast to go to the pub slower to walk back lol. Don't use the car use the excellent bus service £17.50 for a week unlimited travel.

“The location is ideal for anyone wanting a quiet, peaceful relaxing location.”

It is ideally situated for visiting the many attractions close by.

“Great cottage in a great location”

Really enjoyed our short break in this lovely part of north Wales. Cottage was immaculate with plenty of space to relax. Would recommend a visit to Newborough beach and forest - lots of space to explore. The Beacon Climbing Centre is also well worth a visit.

“Fantastic cottage ideally situated for North Wales Exploration”

My father and I booked a weeks holiday at Penrallt Cottage and we fell in love with the cottage as soon as we arrived. The weather was fine and the views across the Menai Strait were fantastic. The cottage had everything that we needed for a relaxing week's holiday. We met Osian the owner who was very polite and friendly and gave us useful advice on nearby attractions, eateries etc. Penrallt is situated ideally for a base to explore and enjoy North Wales and Anglesey. The weather did turn colder/wetter towards the end of the week, then it was the end of September/beginning of October and it never stopped us getting out and about. Only disappointment was getting on the steam train for the top of Snowdon in sunny weather, but by the time we reached the summit it was a complete white-out! We will just have to come back again! All in all a brilliant week in a lovely cottage in a beautiful country!

“Fab - home from home - lived up to the previous reviews”

The owners are welcoming, friendly and helpful. The cottage is spacious, very clean with all the facilities to make your stay relaxing. The views are absolutely stunning and we had great weather too which was an added bonus. There is lots to do in the area (even in March). We were sorry to leave.

“Very comfortable cottage with lovely views”

The cottage was well-equipped, nicely-furnished and very comfortable. The lovely views over the Menai Straits were gorgeous and we had excellent weather to appreciate them fully. We enjoyed our holiday very much. Only 3 less-positive comments: The '5 mins downhill walk' was over-optimistic re. timing and it is pretty steep. (We are fit and regularly walk in the countryside but after doing the walk on the first evening we didn't repeat it.) Access by car involves negotiating a very sharp left turn. We coped but wouldn't recommend it for a nervous driver. The 'written directions' mention a 'sharp left turn' but I would add the word 'very' to emphasise that. We were disappointed at the 'selection of pubs,restaurants...' as there was only one pub within a short walking distance of the cottage and the meal we had there was very poor. Your description of Y Felinheli suggested a more thriving community with a good selection of eating places. We would have liked to have eaten out in the village more often.

“A nice week in North Wales with a very comfortable Cottage”

A perfect place to stay: - the cottage is very good and high-class equipped - it is very comfortable for 6 persons - the people who let the house are living beside. They are very friendly and cooperative if there is a question - the area around the cottage and the views are very lovely (the sunsets are sensational) - it is a good place to start activities as e.g. to Snowdon, Canaerfon, Bangor, Anglesey, Conwy, the Ffestiniog Railway - also the weather was ok - most of the time dry and sometimes a bit of sunshine. We had a nice week.
