Capel Zion

We loved our visit to Anglesey.

This was an extended family trip with three generations and two dogs. The property appeared very clean on arrival and we had a lovely welcome pack, thank you. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook a large Easter Sunday roast and to manage meals for 7 on the other days. The living room had plenty of space although we found the chairs and sofas quite uncomfortable for sitting for long periods. The bedrooms were all of a very good size and the hand basins in the room were useful particularly as there was only one bathroom and toilet. The well enclosed garden was great for the dogs. Minor potential improvements: more attention to cleaning less obvious areas eg woodwork in living room ( the large flat area under the stairs not obviously dusty on arrival but once we put something on there the dust was disturbed and it clearly hadn’t been dusted for a while) and on low level ‘shelves’ under the radiators in bedrooms. Also behind the bedside tables - I found a tablet blister pack in my room, fortunately the children weren’t in there. We loved the log burner and were very well provided with matches and fire lighters and the hot chocolate station is a great idea. The cottage is great value in a stunning part of the world.

This property was a real find for us and perfect for our group of 8 people aged from 6 to 60 plus 2 dogs.

Small enclosed garden was great for kids, dogs could be walked from the door (just head down the Burwen Lanes for great paths). Supremely well equipped kitchen, great sized bedrooms, most with their own sinks, wonderful shower and all of Anglesey on the doorstep. Easy parking for up to 3 cars. Couldn’t have asked for more. Easy to find - just off the main road (which is actually really quiet).The communal rooms were perfect for family gatherings - the kitchen diner table comfortably seated us all for family meals. Brilliant, would book again without hesitation.

Capel Zion is a lovely place to stay, the kitchen and dining area are light, spacious and well equipped.

The lounge was very comfortable, but there were only 2 of us. The garden was enclosed, perfect for the dogs. The big let down for us was the shower. Very low pressure; having thick hair it was impossible to rinse it properly. Location wise, the property looks out over Farm and fields, parking is right outside the gate, road noise was not an issue at all. Very good location.

Very quirky property, excellent range of kitchen utilities.

Garden needed some maintenance but was very enclosed as described which our dog needs. TV was tiny in a large living room should be bigger, they are cheap enough to buy, Front door rattled in the wind, sadly it was extremely windy and would benefit from a door on the porch. Advertised for 8 people but only 1 bathroom, we were ok as only 2 of us but would be very difficult for a large party. There is plenty of room for another bathroom/toilet,the water pressure on the shower was non existent it was appalling to be honest and took ages to heat up. Boiler in a dangerous position fumes blow back into porch and below a window. Appreciated the hot chocolate station and welcome goodies that was a lovely touch. Beds were very very comfortable. We had a lovely stay but some upgrading definitely needed.

I didn't realize how close to the busy road property was.

Scary with dogs. Shower dreadful Numerous comments about this in visitor book No views from very enclosed garden. No safe dog walks around the property either But very clean and comfortable

We really enjoyed are break away at Capel Zion.

Perfect location, we loved the log burner and the hot chocolate station. The only downside to our stay was the pressure in the shower. We would definitely recommend and would stay again. Thank you for having us

The cottage was spacious and comfortable and although situated close to the B road was reasonably quiet.

Little disappointed in the garden that the bushes were overgrown and the lawn needed cutting. Overall had a good time.

The cottage was really nice with a well secured back garden for are dogs we loved walking down to bull bay in morning.

The only down side was the pressure in the shower if you wanted it hot.

Perfect holiday home!

Had everything you needed. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, with 2 ovens & a big double fridge/ freezer. We celebrated Easter & cooked a roast dinner with all the trimmings, with enough pans, trays etc (Amazing if your a foodie & enjoy cooking) Back garden is enclosed, so perfect for your four legged friends. Beds super comfy, No issue being by a road, slept every night. Fab WiFi, having 2 teenagers with us, this helped

Despite being situated just off the busy A5025, this is a really dog-friendly property.

I’ve stayed in places before which claim to be “Dog-Safe” but Capel Zion really is. The garden was perfect for our 2 Shepherds, elderly Sheltie and escapologist Dachshund. The lovely sun trap garden, which is not overlooked, has pretty lights which are excellent when doggie guests need to go out and it’s still dark. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and well furnished. The beds are very comfy. The log burner is great and the starter kit is more than adequate. The large kitchen is well equipped. There were freebies and little extra touches which were appreciated. In short, would definitely stay again. One small point for the owners which is in no way a criticism - It would be useful to have a small extension lead in the downstairs bedroom with 2 beds. This is for people who need to plug in their devices which have short leads.

Loved the cottage was clean ,well maintained and very cosy.

The kitchen had all the equipment you could ever need. The extra touches were lovely, with the hot chocolate station and the extra items in the bathroom. The dogs lived their best life there without the worry of them escaping from the garden. We will definitely be returning. The only thing that could have been better was the pressure in the shower. Had the most amazing stay.

Fantastic stay at capel Zion.

Don't be fooled by the photos the property is huge! Plenty space for larger families. Also one of the most equipped places we have stayed there was everything you needed! 5⭐

Just back from a week at Capel Zion.

The place is spotlessly clean and both the house & garden were bigger than they appeared in the pictures. I’ve stayed in places that claim to have a fully enclosed garden but my dog has managed to find an escape route. This garden is completely enclosed and with a 5 ft wall so no need to worry about your pooch. There’s everything you need to enjoy your stay & we were welcomed with some treats for us and the dog. If you like walks on beaches I can recommend Red Wharf Bay & Newborough beaches, Newborough is about 40 mins drive but well worth it. Would love to go back to the house when the weather is better so we can enjoy the garden.

Our stay in Capel Zion was wonderful.

The owners had thought of everything. Very spacious and dog friendly. The rear garden was very safe and secluded, ideal to let your dog out without worrying. Be prepared for lots of driving as Amlwch is very pretty but out in the sticks.

We had a great time at Capel Zion, everything we needed was in the kitchen, beds were comfortable and clean, it was good for our dog too, would definitely return.

Very disappointing not at all like the photos On arrival it looked unwelcoming dark and dingy, the front and back gardens are full of weeds and front path overgrown with plants and weeds The back garden was shocking its full of weeds cigarette butts and the grass is over grown just didn’t want to sit in it!

, it’s such a shame as it could look lovely if somebody cared for it. The lounge and kitchen were full of cobwebs and the lounge is so dark and dingy, our bedroom had two electrical sockets that weren’t working!, it was very frustrating. The heating we used of an evening but had to turn it off as it stunk of oil and smoke alarms were going off and we weren’t even cooking!! Really not worth the money we paid and would not want to stay there again, I think if you produce inviting pictures of a property it should jolly well meet your expectations

A great space with off road parking.

Comfortable beds, super wood burner but hardly any wood available. Comfortable seating in the lounge, fabulous kitchen with everything you could want. Shower floor very slippy when wet, had to buy a bath mat for safety. The hoover was too full and blocked with ginger dog hair and the bag had split. We tried to change the bag couldn't find any new ones. Garden, front and back, very disheveled and not at all like the photograps online. One bed upstairs not changed/made. Very dusty in lounge, there were f Finger prints on the ledge over the stairs and under stairs cupboard. All indoor plants dry and virtually dead. We feel that if the owners are paying people to maintain this property in their absence, they should be aware of the shortcomings . Over the years we have stayed in many self catering cottages throughout Britain and have never had to clean up/water plants before the holiday started. We expected a higher standard for the price we paid.

Enjoyed our week at Capel Zion.

Our dogs were completely safe in the enclosed garden. The kitchen was well equipped and spacious. Would stay again.

Lovley cottage very spacious it was all immaculately clean .

It had lovley views you could watch the sun going down through the kitchen window.garden enclosed my dogs loved it would definitely recommend

This beautiful converted chapel was perfect for our family of 5 to stay in.

Plenty of bedroom space for our boys to take themselves off to when they needed to! The beds were VERY comfortable! Everything available for you in the kitchen and plenty of it so no worries about not enough cutlery etc. it has a very homely feeling about it and the extra touches were an added bonus. I loved the little welcome gift of wine and biscuits and dog treats. I also felt that the little handmade notes were a really lovely touch. Appreciated all the extra information that was available from the map in the entrance. Our only little issue was with the shower, no pressure so quite tricky to get everyone showered and sorted, but hey, it wasn't the end of the world and it absolutely would not put me off staying here again. The view from the kitchen window more than made up for it!!

Shower or water pressure was poor, unable to accommodated the 4 people.

The cottage needs additional heating in hallway. Beds are very comfortable and lots of amenities in cottage

Absolutely amazing place!

All the extra adds on made it even better felt as if nothing was missing. Only add on for me to give it the 10 would be a bigger tv due to amount of people and having a second toilet.

Fantastic cottage for families and pets, bedrooms are all wonderfully cozy, living areas are large but still warm and snug.

Couldn’t want for anything more in the very well equipped kitchen, beautiful view from the dining room window. Great space for dogs, hard floors in the entrance so easy to clean muddy/sandy paws. Nice extras like board games selection, the ‘hot chocolate bar’, and welcome gifts of wine, cookies and dog treats much appreciated! Basics like cleaning products and salt/pepper/oil provided which makes a huge difference. Wonderful holiday had by all

My Husband & I had a wonderful week celebrating my birthday, along with our two dogs.

The cottage/chapel is really quirky, very well-equipped, absolutely lovely & has loads of character. The location was great. Very peaceful & was great for accessing all the beautiful places around Almwch & also further afield. We highly recommend Capel Zion & would love to stay there again.

Lovely place to stay.

The photos do not do the place justice. It has a lovely homely feel. Owners have added lots of extras to the place (not come across this before and I've stayed at many places) views from kitchen window is gorgeous. Would definitely return.

We have had a lovely weekend in this fantastic cottage.

It has been lovely, cosy and warm while Storm Kathleen raged outside. Walking the coastal paths has certainly been challenging this weekend, so it was wonderful to get back to the cottage and make use of the hot chocolate station. Thank you for all the little extras - welcome gifts for us and the dogs, hot chocolate bar, island information, ice machine, dishwasher and the little essentials you always forget to bring. It certainly puts the cottage above others we have stayed in. The secure back garden is a real bonus for the dogs. Look forward to visiting again

Last minute decision to come away to recharge the batteries - so glad we found Capel Zion such a lovely quirky house with everything and more you could think of, made our stay very chilled.

Wished we could stay longer. Managed 3 great coastal walks and managed to identify 13 different birds just sat in the garden alone!

Absolutely lovely holiday home.

Very cosy. Very comfortable. Thank you for the welcome pack 'Rosie loved the treats'. P.S. We will be back :)

Thank you so much for thinking of everything!

We have had a wonderful stay, slept really well and thoroughly enjoyed the welcome wine and goodies for the dogs.

Beautiful cottage we had an amazing holiday peaceful and quiet.

Thank you so much from Richard, Sue, Chrissie, Sam, Joe, Tom, Dave, Tracey and the three dogs.

Capel Zion has provided us with a fantastic base for our summer holiday.

The house and gardens are delightful and all of the little extras have been very much appreciated. Really nice to hire a cottage that is happy to provide washing powder, washing up liquid etc. Had a couple of cracking days down at Newborough, very much enjoyed a visit to Plas Newydd. Enjoyed some kayaking and paddle boarding at various bays and beaches. If you want a beautiful/quiet beach then try Cemlyn Bay, it was hot and very quiet. The girls enjoyed a ghost tour at Gwrych Castle where they famously filmed I'm a Celebrity. A walk up Parys Mountain (Copper Mine) was very interesting and also a day out at Llandudno was very good fun. Thank you for your hospitality!

Thank you for your lovely holiday home.

Capel Zion is quirky and comfy with everything else we needed for the week! The indoor (well-kept) plans and the 'forgotten pots' of supplies a wonderful touch! The welcome pack was very welcoming. Could have done with a bit more sun and less rain and wind but we still managed to explore and enjoy the beaches. I've never had such a well-equipped holiday kitchen and the hot choc bar was fab! Thanks once again!

Thanks so much for a really lovely weeks stay!

Lots of extras (incl. toothpaste and toothbrush which i forgot) made the stay very welcoming. Great place for the dogs too! See you again next year :)

We had a lovely week in Anglesey for a 5 hour drive I think it was worth it.

The house was just what we needed for a week and 7 people and 3 dogs. My favourite part was discovering our rooms and going to the beaches. Cemaes Bay is only a 10 min drive away which means we can go to the beach most of the week. This house is amazing in so many ways!

Really surprised by how well equipped the house is - very much appreciated, as was the welcome pack.

Had a lovely week with no rain at all!

What a lovely place all the extras, the hot chocolate station, the items in the bathroom and the welcome pack were a lovely touch.

The kitchen is so well equipped. The 3 dogs had the best time and settled in as if it was home. The area was beautiful as was the cottage. We all loved our stay, will be booking again soon. Thank you.

Fantastic stay with all the family.

The cottage has everything you can think of. Weather not great, but chill out in front of the log burner. Definitely come back (If you'll have us) Thanks again, Plus the dogs Reggie, Rosie, Tilly

Thank you so much for our extended stay!

Cottage is lovely, very safe for the dogs and cosy for us. Love the views from every window - especially the view of the Isle of Man from the front porch! Hope to bump into you sometime and thank you personally :)

Thank you for a lovely stay although we didnt get the best weather, we absolutely loved the area and views from the kitchen window!

The house itself was cosy and comfortable (especially the bed!) There was everything we needed for our stay and we really appreciated the thoughtful extra touches.

We had a lovely week away, weather was great all week.

Property is wonderful with great outdoor space for the dogs to roam. We would stay again in the future. Thanks for allowing us to stay with our 4 dogs.

What a lovely chapel.

We had a fantastic stay! Everything you need & more. Thank you for allowing us to be there with 3 fur babies. Welcome pack amazing! Couldn't ask for anything else. Thank you!

We weren't supposed to come here but I reckon we were guided here.

Absolutely beautiful cottage. Everything you need has been available. Beds so comfy - love the garden lights. Thank you for the arrival treats. The map on the wall is brilliant. I use lots of places for my ladies retreats and I have to stay, this is my favourite. Will definitely recommend to family and friends - and will most certainly be back. Thank you

We had a great time staying at Capel Zion, as usual.

Really home from home and we love it. Perfect for us and so relaxing. Thank you

What a great cottage , we had a lovely time.

Seacoast Safari, Transport museum Beaumaris, lovely castle. Newborough forest and beach for Jacks 10th birthday. Rooms are very good sizes. Another toilet as for 7 of us it was a rota system. :) Beautiful views everywhere you go. Our walk on the cliffs was very windy but we saw dolphins/porpoise in the bay Trout famiyl xx

Lovely comfortable cottage slightly quirky, Fantastic weather which made it possible to complete 2 sections of the Anglesey Coast Path Amlwch Port to Cemaes (very tough) and Cemaes to Church Bay, Still more to go and will be back.
