Guests that stayed at this property said
Most reviewers find the cottage clean and tidy, with only a few mentioning minor cleanliness issues. The positive remarks suggest a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is praised for its convenience to the beach and local facilities, though some guests mention road noise and uphill walks. The proximity to amenities and the beach is a strong point.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and homely, with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. However, some guests note that the space may be tight for larger groups and mention issues with damp in one bedroom.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the kitchen equipment and garden. Criticisms include intermittent internet, poor drainage, and some maintenance issues like door locks and steps, which slightly lower the score.
While some guests mention thoughtful touches like tea and coffee, there is not enough consistent information about gifts or additional thoughtful gestures to accurately score this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
Nestled just a short stroll from the beach, in the seaside village of Benllech, is this wonderfully appointed bungalow, H Jem. Well-equipped with all the amenities for a short stay, H Jem is an ideal base for a family wishing to getaway to the Isle of Anglesey. After a day on the beach, wash away the sand in the bathroom before relaxing in the lounge, equipped with a 50” Smart TV so you can enjoy a favourite movie together. Carry the conversation into the kitchen, fitted with contemporary units and appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine, so you won’t have to worry about bringing your whole wardrobe. If the weather is on your side, dine alfresco style at the patio furniture whilst your canine companion stretches their legs on the lawn. As you look to catch some rest, the master bedroom features a king-size bed and two twin rooms, ideally presented for a family getaway. When you’re ready to explore, there are many superb secluded sandy beaches at Benllech - a short walk from the bungalow is Traeth Benllech, offering generous expanses of inviting sand provide plenty of room for busy beach games, while the gently sloping shore is perfect for paddlers of all ages, and around the headland is Traeth Coch (Red Wharf Bay), a massive 10 square miles in all at low tide, with waders and wild fowl in residence throughout the year. Benllech is known for the beautiful Gwylfan Moelfre Seawatch, which overlooks the stunningly clear waters of the bay and is perfect for enjoying a peaceful day of fishing, swimming or simply relaxing in the sun. If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, there are several restaurants, bars and takeaways in the village, including the popular Pebbles Bistro, The Breeze Hill and The Benllech. For seeking adventure, a scenic drive will bring you to the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, filled with excellent walks, waterfalls and rambles into the wilderness. There’s plenty to look forward to during a holiday at H Jem, whatever time of year.
Benllech features a lovely, long, sandy beach that is popular with families, with a slipway for convenient access. A picnic area and a variety of stores and cafés along the beach, while the village centre has more shops, pubs, hotels, and restaurants. The hamlet itself is perfect for family holidays, while the rural location gives serenity and easy access to the coast, rural Anglesey, and, of course, the beautiful Snowdonia mountains.

Large back garden for our 2 dogs. Appreciated the milk and cake left for us. Lovely bungalow had everything we needed.

The bungalow is homely, well equipped and very comfortable. The garden is large and enclosed which made it perfect for our little dog. It was lovely to be able to walk to the beach and along the coastal path. The shops, pubs and restaurants are all within walking distance, but it is hilly. It was a bonus to be able to leave the car on the drive. We are looking forward to another visit soon. Thank you.

Ideal position for beautiful Beach. Garden great for us and the dogs. Everything we needed. Could have been cleaner but nothing drastic. Locks on outside doors could do with some attention.
