  • "The listing on your website states that the property is a bungalow but in fact it is a cottage with a gate leg staircase and three steps to negotiate from the car parking space and also the patio, all of which make it unsuitable for anyone with limited mobility."

    The owner did say that he has asked for the listing to be amended. However the cottage is well equipped and was extremely clean and very welcoming. The garden and lake is a real bonus and has a variety of seating for visitors. The bara brith and wine was much appreciated.

  • "It was lovely to be back at The Little Coach House ."

    I have been fortunate enough to visit several times now , in different seasons , and it is always a pleasure. Karen and Russ are wonderful hosts , ( thank you for the bara brith and the bottle of wine ! ) The Little Coach House is always spotlessly clean and very comfortable , the location is beautiful , and the weather was fantastic this time too ! It’s a wonderful place to stay. I’d just like to point out that the listing on the Menai Cottages site may be slightly misleading, as it states that the Little Coach House is a bungalow , with level access . This could be a problem for any potential visitors with mobility difficulties , if they had thought from the description on the website that it was completely accessible for them , with level access and no stairs to negotiate. It is actually a little house , on two floors , with a staircase leading to the second floor bedroom and bathroom . There are also some shallow steps leading down from the private parking place for The Little Coach House. Additionally , as the private courtyard garden is on two levels , there are also some steps between the different levels. Maybe some indication of this on the website would be helpful for those who are thinking of booking a stay , but have limited mobility ?

  • "We had a really enjoyable stay."

    The property had all that was needed, the surroundings were beautiful. The location was perfect. Russ and Karen were hospitable and helpful. There were plenty of places to sit out and enjoy if you didn't feel like going out, or if you wanted to relax after a busy day. Although the dog needed to be on the lead when on the grounds due to livestock, this was not an inconvenience and there were plenty of places to take her for a morning or late evening stroll. Although the property is attached to another, there was very little if no noise from our neighbours apart from the occasional bark of a dog. We can't recommend this place highly enough.

    The property is very well equipped and benefits from a private, quite large, beautiful patio area with table and seating, very useful as we had a dog with us. The coach house is cosy downstairs and has a spacious bedroom/ dressing area with TV. There are lovely landscaped garden views from every window. The gardens have various seating areas you can use and a summer house which contained DVDs and board games to borrow. There is a pleasant walk to a private lake which also has seating areas and sun lounges; there are boats you can use but we didn't! It is a pity that due to live stock our dog had to be on a lead but we quite understood. Located within 15 minutes drive of a very dog friendly beach and close to many Welsh beauty spots we are happy to recommend this lovely holiday property and would return.
