Guests say
Poppy's Cottage in Ty Croes, Anglesey, is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, prime location near Aberffraw beach, and comfortable amenities. The secure garden is appreciated by dog owners, and the cottage is equipped with quality items. A few guests noted the presence of spiders and a pet odour, but these were minor points in otherwise glowing reviews. The thoughtful touch of welcome gifts was also mentioned.
The cottage is generally described as spotlessly clean. However, one review mentioned a pet odour and another noted spiders and cobwebs, slightly affecting the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, local amenities, and as a base to explore Anglesey. It is considered ideal by reviewers.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, highlighting the quality of the bed and the cosiness of the property. One review mentioned a light and airy bedroom, contributing to the comfort.
While the reviews mention that the cottage is well-stocked and has good quality items, there is not enough specific information on the range of facilities or their maintenance to provide a score.
The welcome gifts of wine and Welsh cakes were a pleasant surprise for guests, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are subject to change and may not be guaranteed, this is reflected in the score.

The historic, seaside village of Aberffraw, nestles serenely beside the banks of the tidal River Ffraw, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the Heritage Coast of Anglesey. Holding an exalted place in Welsh history, this sleepy village, known as ‘the Land of the Prince of Wales', held the title of Capital of North Wales, between the 9th and 13th Centuries. Once an important port, the village now consists of the ancient Church of St Beuno, a picturesque packhorse bridge, tea rooms, Llys Llewelyn Cegin Bar, and a beautiful white sandy beach with stunning, panoramic views of Snowdonia. Explore nearby National Nature Reserve spots at Newborough Warren and Malltraeth Pool, surrounded by sweeping sand dunes and marshes, or enjoy a relaxing day on the award winning beach at Llanddwyn Island. The area is renowned for its fascinating birdlife and breathtaking coastal scenery, and with the renowned watersports centre at Rhosneigr situated just 4 miles away, this is the ideal location for a varied and enjoyable holiday.

The bedroom is light, airy and comfortable with lots of storage space. The downstairs did smell rather strongly of dog. There were no instructions left for what the owners would like at the end of the stay (beds stripped or not etc) which would have been useful in the booklet.
