About this property

A superb, detached cottage in a rural location with views across to Llyn Llywenan from the front and open countryside to the rear. The cottage is located between Bodedern and Llanddeusant in the heart of peaceful farmland on the Isle of Anglesey. Set predominantly on the ground floor, this lovely cottage offers a welcoming hallway from which the living areas and bedrooms all branch off. Straight ahead you will enter the fitted kitchen with oak cupboard doors, breakfast table and marble-effect worktop. The main sitting room is spacious and airy, with a multi-fuel stove and further dining area, with doors off to the rear conservatory which is furnished with a large corner sofa and TV DVD player and sound bar, making a great cinema room from which to watch the latest films. A flight of stairs leads from to the hall to a first floor snug, also with TV, which the kids will want to make their own and probably set up a gaming station away from the adults. Along the ground floor landing are four bedrooms, one of which has a king-size bed, along with a single bedroom with a pull-out trundle bed. Externally, the enclosed rear garden offers ample space for children to explore and play whilst you relax and enjoy the tranquillity of the area and plan the exciting adventures for the rest of your holiday. There are some excellent walks from the doorstep and the Anglesey Coastal Path runs nearby, opening up 125 miles of superb coastline. Sandy beaches and coves are easily accessed and the delights of Rhosneigr and Trearddur Bay are within eight miles. A wonderful cottage for friends and family to get together and enjoy the delights of this area at any time of year.

Close to the stunning north west coastline of Anglesey, the small Welsh village of Llanddeusant is set amidst spectacular cliffs and golden, sandy beaches. As the location of the only remaining working windmill in Wales, visitors can enjoy seeing corn being ground the old fashioned way, followed by refreshments in the mill's excellent tea-room. This charming village is a great base for people looking to explore the island due to its central location. Fishing, bird-watching, golf, climbing and water-sport opportunities are all within easy driving distance of this diverse little settlement, whilst those interested in seeing Ireland can enjoy a brief ferry ride to Dublin. Anglesey Sea Zoo, the historic town of Beaumaris and the Menai Strait are all close by and offer visitors with a wide range of activities unique to this glorious area.

    It was soon evident that the property had a damp problem in the master bedroom and living room. Bedding felt damp and there were patches of water ingress around most of the walls and bubbling paintwork. Inside the wardrobe had damp patches and all clothes also ended up smelt musty too. There were damp patches on walls in the living room too with a plug socket that was rusting to a point where I used an extension cable to a safer looking plug. The TV Ariel was badly wired causing picture and sound drop out. On the second day I had to get a £20 streaming stick to solve the issue. On the second day the toilet seat broke in the shower room. We notified the owners immediately about this and other issues but received no reply or offer to fix the toilet seat. The plug socket in the hallway looks like it had been replaced and very poor plastering was evident and was probably due to damp too. A plug in the damp master bedroom was corroding on the top, again a damp issue. The property in general as well as outbuildings and gates were in disrepair. We felt the outdoor shed area was dangerous for anyone to go near , full of holes and falling apart. A rail going up the steps to the conservatory was also wobbly with loose screws. We understand broadband was slow but a simple bit of Ethernet cabling to the old TVs would have helped. In the conservatory there were wires coming out of the wall and the soundbar was coming away from the wall. There was a general unclean feel around the whole property and poor maintenance. The owners can back to us, through you, stating that the sealant around showers, sinks and baths had no gaps and was just messy. How hard is it to get sealant right and stop it from going black. We were disgusted at the state of the microwave which was rusting badly under the glass rotating plate. Some of the beds had old sprung mattresses that were noisy when you turned over and woke you up. The owners said they had put mattress toppers on but they were thin quilted toppers that did nothing for comfort or noise. We sent 12 text messages to the owners directly after getting a message from Paul asking if we had settled in and being told there would be a 5 hour power cut on day due to tree felling. We are now back home and we’ve not had a single reply to any text message. Instead, half way through the holiday we eventually got a reply from them though Sykes with excuses and that things would be fixed when we leave. We tried to get alternative accommodation but everything was booked solid. In the end we kept away from the property for as long as possible each day and my 75 year old mother was forced to sleep on the sofa in the conservatory which was not ideal. Reading legacy reviews on Sykes there are quite a few that mention the same issues with this property. The owners have done the bare minimum to rectify the issues. If they know there is a damp problem surely that must be noted in the listing. If they know the repair work is messy then let customers know! We had some great times out in Anglesey but it was spoilt by staying in a poorly maintained, damp, musty property. I have video and photo evidence of all the issues I’ve stated and will be seeking a refund. I offered 50% at first but due to their lack of after service I’ll now be seeking a full refund.

    The bad things, Toilet seat broke, my daughter who is 7 months pregnant almost slipped off it. I went to tighten it up but there was actually no fitting at all on one side. No locks on the bathrooms, could be cleaner (we left it much cleaner than when we first entered it), beds are very uncomfortable. No logs for the fire as was stated in the advert, we were really looking forward to that part.

    Some simple maintainence wasn't spot on. One of the toilet seats was only attached on one side. That was 'interesting' if you weren't paying attention, and the sliding wardrobe doors in one bedroom are falling off of their runners. Next doors dogs seem to be able to get into the back garden, so it's definitely not totally secure. Our dog didn't figure out the escape route though, thankfully. There are lovely views across to the Holyhead port at the back of the property, and views of a pretty lake from upstairs at the front. The property is large and very comfortable throughout. There was plenty of room for five of us and our dog. The beds were all comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and the garden was neat and tidy. We would book this property again if we decide to visit Anglesey again.
