“Charming, spacious cottage with an amazing view”

Lovely, spacious cottage overlooking the Menai Straits and Anglesey. The place was spotless when we arrived and was very well equipped. I loved that there were shelves and hooks and storage spaces to put our stuff. This is very high up on my requirements. The rooms were of good size, with a good utility room to put our shoes and other outdoor things. ...

Lovely, spacious cottage overlooking the Menai Straits and Anglesey. The place was spotless when we arrived and was very well equipped. I loved that there were shelves and hooks and storage spaces to put our stuff. This is very high up on my requirements. The rooms were of good size, with a good utility room to put our shoes and other outdoor things. The location was great and very quiet, close to many tourist spots and 3 mins drive from Greenwood Adventure Park, which my kids loved. 5 mins walk down to the local village down a path that was steep in parts, but my 3 year old and MIL with a bad hip managed it most evenings, so it was fine. It's not for buggies or wheelchairs though. I'd highly recommend La Marina in Y Felinheli, where the food was amazing. The owners live next door and were extremely helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend staying here to anyone.

“The location was cracking; the accommodation lovely.”

Warm and cosy when the chill set in and sufficiently stocked with immediate essentials Y Felinheli is a lovely little coastal village that I know well, so to spot this cottage on Sykes was great! In addition to the high quality accommodation, on the doorstep you’ll find: farm land, coastline, footpaths, Thai food, fish and chips, tapas, two pubs, and a coffee shop all within 10 minutes of the front door. There’s also a local convenience store with a post office, or a large Tesco 10minute drive away. All that and a cute elevated verandah with sunset views out along the straits......what more could you ask for?! We’d had to move the booking from our original dates in March due to “you know what” so we were really pleased to have this stay to look forward to - the cottage was great, and we would be very happy to recommend to others. Thank you.

“The cottage is stunning with everything you could need for a fabulous holiday.”

The utility room was a fabulous drying room without ever putting on the heating. The views on a clear dry day across the Menai were amazing, even on a wet day they weren’t bad either

“We had a lovely week at Penrallt Cottage.”

We’ve been holidaying in Wales for years but still discovering new places. Newborough woods and beach were amazing, parking in the woods to get to the beach is a long walk but you can take bikes which we did. We also cycled to Caernarfon on the Lon Las Menai cycle route which was nice and flat, great for the kids. The cottage is very well equipped, great living space and a lovely big kitchen with everything you need, we cooked most nights. The shower is great and the wood burner was lovely and cosy in the evenings. Not shown in the pictures is a beautiful raised decking area where we sat and had dinner most nights taking in the gorgeous view of the Menai Straight and Anglesey, and watching the sun set. The owners were very friendly and welcoming and easily contactable. The only thing that would have made it a perfect stay was the beds, the bed in the far bedroom was very hard and it really could have done with one king size bed at least. The children could feel the springs in the mattresses in the bunk bed and had to sleep on the duvets for comfort. Overall though we really enjoyed our holiday.

Thank you for your feedback and the owner has confirmed that the two single mattresses have now been replaced. Sykes owner relations

“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!

“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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

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.
