  • "A simply lovely week in your beautiful cottage."

    Perfect location, near to the epic Silver Bay beach and for walks and trips out Rhoscolyn beach and The White Eagle within easy research for 'walk and eat!!' A fantastic Halloween party at the Rhoscolyn Chapel, hosted by lovely Sophie and Mark, topped our week off! Thank you all!!

  • "We have loved our week at Borth Arian, especially the 5min walk from the cottage garden to the stunning Silver Bay where I was able to swim every morning whilst looking across to the Snowdonia mountain range."

    There are long reaching views across towards RAF Valley from the balcony & we loved watching the jets taking off & flying over, very exciting!! The cottage is in a lovely rural area, down a very long farm track, a good 25mins walk from the nearest pub, The White Eagle, which does great food, it's an easy walk, but along unlit, narrow country lanes, so wouldn't walk it at night (only 5mins by car) The cottage is comfortable & well equipped, in a shabby-chic style. The living/dining & kitchen area are combined & quite compact, perfect for a couple, perhaps 3 adults, but would be cramped for 6 & not enough seats. The bedrooms were all of a good size, as is the bathroom, we only used the main bedroom, which has the comfiest bed ever & the bedding smelt lovely & fresh. We had minor issues with the boiler at the beginning of the week & had to keep resetting it to get either hot water or heating, but this then resolved itself. We had no contact from the owners, either by text before, or on arrival, or left at the cottage (contact numbers were left in a folder) & no welcome pack left on arrival, which is most unusual, as all Sykes cottages we have used have always made contact, either by text or in person, & always provided at least milk, bread, biscuits or cake & beverages so you can make a cup of tea/coffee on arrival-advise you take with you as it's a few miles to nearest shop. Overall, the cottage was more remote than we expected & quite bijou, but the views & the beach access more than made up for this & we would definitely return to this idyllic little spot again.

    dear Mrs. Whitehead. Many thanks for your kind review and we have taken all your comments on board! Although the boathouse sleeps 6 we absolutely agree that the living area comfortably should only accommodate a maximum of 5 and we have reminded Menai to change that on the website. We’re sorry you had a small problem with the boiler-apparently the fuel line was blocking and we’ve now had that completely replaced. The boathouse has only very recently been available to let and I have to admit we forgot about a welcome pack which we have always done in the main house in the past! We really hope that you’ll return in the future as the boathouse is such a unique little place. Many thanks once again Kind regards Fiona Clark Property Owner

RHOSCOLYN

Valley 2 miles; Trearddur Bay 3 miles; Holyhead 5 miles.

Located on Holy Island, three miles from Trearddur Bay, Rhoscolyn is a small village with a church and primary school and is the most southerly place on Holy Island. Rhoscolyn also offers an excellent pub on the lane down to the beach, which is renowned for its gastro food, and the beach itself with its slipway, ideal for small dinghies and power boats, is a popular family destination throughout the summer owing to the sheltered cove and gently sloping sands. Also excellent cliff-top walks can be enjoyed and an abundance of wildlife can be seen, often including seals on the headland. Just two miles away is the village of Valley, which has a Post Office, chemist, shops and eating places, plus the nearby resort of Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of the island and is truly beautiful with a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine Blue Flag sandy beaches. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, supermarkets, harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry. Watersports, bathing, sailing, windsurfing and horse riding are the main activities in the summer months, plus golfers will enjoy the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course, and the area is also a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve. An excellent location with plenty to see and do!
