“Excellent cottage, superb views”

Stayed for a long weekend and the weather was good (albeit cold) - having breakfast looking out over the Menai Straights and Anglesey was superb - a well equipped cottage with plenty of space and very quiet away from all the roads. Thoroughly recommended.

“As we were away at the end of November/beginning of December in North Wales, the weather was more than likely to be cold!”

However, the Cottage was superb and WARM! It is the first time in 50+ years that we have visited Wales and not felt rain! The Cottage is ideally placed overlooking the Menai Straits - what a view for meals! There was every amenity included that was necessary for a relaxing break. It was great having the owners close by - and delightful to meet him. Thank you Sykes - and thank you to the owners of the Cottage! We hope to return again to recharge our batteries!

“Lovely views.”

Very spacious. Helpful and friendly owners.
Mr Robson August 2019

“Owner was very helpful regarding any questions we had and he even advised us on a bike ride to the nearest town, which we took advantage of.”

Two times! Lovely cottage, lovely views, would recommend it to anyone visiting North Wales. The walk/ride up the hill to the cottage is high, this was no problem for us but might be worth a mention to any 'infirm' people! Great stay, thank you
Mrs Soan July 2019

“Lovely cottage with a view of the Menai Strait, our hosts were very friendly and helpful.”

The Cottage is up a hill with a very sharpe turn, and to walk to the village has a sharp incline down although further along the road between the houses is a pathway with steps. The cottage itself is lovely, although none of the inner doors close properly especially on the shower room. It was great having two bathrooms, one with shower the other a bath with hand held shower, this perhaps would have been better with shower over bath.
Mrs Pethybridge July 2019

“Beautiful location.”

Excellent facilities, cottage very spacious with all amenities. Great shower room and bathroom. Lots for our great grandchildren to do in the local area without having to drive for miles.
Mrs Mcconkey July 2019

“The cottage was fine and the views splendid.”

The addition of a free standing viewing platform with table and chairs added greatly to the overall enjoyment of the holiday. The shower was great although the doors to both the shower room and the bathroom were a little ill fitting. The beds were comfortable although we would have preferred king size rather than double sized beds. The provision of cutlery was poor - both in terms of the amount and the quality. Drinking glasses also need to be up-graded - there was a mixture of fairly poor quality glasses, very few of which matched - especially the wine glasses. The TV is also rather old fashioned. Overall, however, these were small issues. We had a lovely holiday and enjoyed the environment offered by the cottage.

“Fantastic cottage fantastic views cottage had all we needed and more”
Mr Closs May 2019

“The owners were friendly and very helpful.”

The cottage is in a beautiful setting overlooking the Menai Straits. Certain improvements could be made: - Mattresses in bunk beds had uncomfortable springs - Most of the internal doors were ill-fitting and several were impossible to close - External door locks need renewing (a comment also made by a previous occupant some time ago). Owner did come round with some WD40 style spray when requested but this is likely to be ongoing. - Grab rails in shower and bath would be a great help A lovely, well equipped cottage with pleasant owners.

“Lovely 'wine terrace' patio with stunning views.”
Mrs Creeth March 2019

“We had a really enjoyable stay in this comfortable and well-equipped cottage.”

It was a very peaceful location despite being handy for the main road and the view across the Menai Straits was amazing.
Mrs Moules March 2019

“The owners were especially helpful and friendly.”

The views from the cottage are amazing.

First class location to cover north Wales and the island ,description describes the cottage accurately everything is the cottage to enjoy a holiday
Mrs Davies September 2018

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

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.
Mr Smith August 2018

“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.
Mr Woodcock June 2018

“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!!!!
Mr Pryor April 2018

“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.
Ms Creed April 2018

“Very pleased with accomadation and it's location.”

Would book this again .
Mr Beaglehole March 2018

“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.

“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.

“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.
A FlipKey verified reviewer December 2013

“We loved it!!!”

What great memories with have of our trip to Wales and Penrallt Cottage made it even better. It has such character and charm. The cottage is very clean with modern furnishings making it a perfect place to stay. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

“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!

“Did what it said on the tin”

Premises was fine for us,clean & tidy,but lacking that "special" feel perhaps Great views over the Menai and some lovely sunsets,ideally situated for exploring Northern Snowdonia,close to Anglesey,Llanberis,Beddgelert and Bangor

“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.

“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.
Mr & Mrs B December 2009

“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.

“Lovely”

High quality, modern decor,very warm accommodation. Great views, very peaceful. Good location for visiting Angelsey and North Wales. Sharp narrow turning with bend, but not a problem. Owners next door and very helpful. Short circular walk can be done fron house.
