About this property
Resting in the coastal village of Cemaes Bay, Anglesey is Melody, a contemporary, four-bedroom home. Enjoying sea glimpses and a prime position near the beach and a hub of amenities, Melody offers a stylish base for a family of eight, complete with a private hot tub, flexible sleeping arrangements, and a lovely sunroom. Park up on the private driveway before making your way indoors, firstly reaching the contemporary sitting room, complete with a plush corner sofa, Smart TV, and a double-sided woodburning stove; use this space to unwind after a day of adventure. Continue into the heart of the home, the kitchen/diner, complete with state-of-the-art appliances to ease your self-catered stay, where you can prepare meals and dine together. If you'd prefer an alfresco affair, the rear garden offers the perfect spot, where you can set the table and enjoy meals on the decked area, before spending the evening in the indulgent hot tub; take in the stunning views from Melody, watching the sun set over Anglesey. Four well-appointed bedrooms are on offer, including a ground-floor double for convenience, followed by three doubles on the first floor, one complete with a handy en-suite shower room. Awaken to a refreshing shower in the sleek, ground-floor shower room, or a soak in the bathroom, before enjoying a coffee in the sunroom. Grab your beach towels and head for the sandy shoreline, with Caffi Bach and the Stag Inn as dine out options, or why not enjoy a bag of fish and chips from Y Wygr Fish & Chips, before stocking up on the essentials at a nearby convenience store; resting in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, be sure to dedicate some time to hike across Cemlyn North Wales Wildlife Trust Reserve. Next stop, take to Holyhead, brimming with shops and eateries, along with the Holyhead Maritime Museum, joining areas to follow the breath-taking Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path, Parc Gwledig Morglawdd Caergybi Breakwater Country Park, and the Holyhead Golf Club, where you can perfect your swing.

Ideally situated near to beach and shop. Just a couple of little things that could improve your stay: Would be nice to have a few more cleaning products to make sure itâs clean when leaving. It would be a good idea to have a foot towel near the patio doors for when you get Out of the hot tub so you donât wet the flooring when coming in. Couldnât find the switch to turn on the extractor fan above the hob.

Our thoughts regarding Melody can easily be split into 2 sections - inside and outside. Location: The view of the coast from the property is very limited, but the location is very handy for easy access to the beach and pretty harbour area, and the village tourist and grocery shops, pubs /cafe/ chip shop are just a short stroll away. We found it to be a quiet and very friendly village. Inside: The house fixtures and fittings have been fitted out to a high specification, modern, clean and comfortable - it's lovely. We were frustrated to be without simple kitchenware like casseroles and serving spoons, and a choice of wine glass other than the lovely large goblets to enjoy a champagne moment would have been nice... There is plenty of storage space in kitchen cupboards that swallowed our food delivery with ease. We had an issue when trying to connect the wifi, and in a very short time the property owner was on the phone and was very concerned and helpful . A nice approach. Outside: Before we booked Melody, we read other feedback saying that gates were needed on either side of the house to prevent dogs getting out of the back garden and onto the road. I spoke with Sykes, who contacted the owners, gates were fitted and we felt happy to book our holiday. On arrival, we found the gates were great - but the rear garden had a quite new but incomplete fence down one side, leaving a 2 foot gap where an attempt had been made to block it with a collapsed bamboo screen.... and part of the rear boundary that was not fenced at all - just a grassy bank and hedging with large gaps beneath. So the access out to the front was dog friendly, but the pet security of the side and back were sadly lacking - very disappointing considering that Sykes and the owners were both aware of our concerns before our booking. Our Sykes contact confirmed that, following my call on arrival day, the owners had been made aware of our fencing concerns, but during a direct phone call they claimed to be unaware and unable to help during our stay. My advice to dog owners would be to seek confirmation of improvement before booking. The garden was the only one in the street that had long grass, front and rear, and the rear raised paving area had loose paving stones that were very unsteady, nearly resulting in a fall - I wonder if having given the house a make over, and fitted an extensive quality decking area, the remainder of the garden might be a future project? I hope so because the house deserves it. Either way, it will come too late to rescue what should have been our relaxed holiday. The house is lovely, and we would certainly consider going again, but not until the garden issues are properly addressed.
