The location is highly praised for its fantastic views over the Menai Straits and its proximity to local amenities and attractions. It serves as an excellent base for exploring Anglesey.
Guests consistently mention the comfortable beds and the cosy, spacious layout of the property. The presence of multiple bathrooms and a ground floor ensuite bedroom adds to the comfort level.

This fab holiday house is a short drive from the two popular Anglesey coastal towns of Beaumaris and Menai Bridge. Both offer shops, pubs and great places to eat. Activities, attractions and so much to see and do is close by.
This delightful town sits right on the edge of the Isle of Anglesey and is home to one of two bridges to mainland Wales. It is an ideal base for a holiday and is great for exploring this beautiful island. It has a strong history which can be discovered in the Menai Bridge Heritage Museum, the well known Saint Tysilio lived on Church Island, just off of Anglesey in the 9th century, hence the name of the 14th century St. Tysilio's Church. Menai Bridge itself offers a good range of shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. In terms of entertainment, this is an ideal spot with something for everybody, there is the butterfly palace 'Pili Palas' which is incredibly popular with families, as well as the astounding Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens well worth a walk around. The Snowdonia National Park is within driving distance for you outdoor enthusiasts, it has wonderful walking, cycling and opportunities to see some beautiful sights.

The property itself has a lot of character, However, it unfortunately requires a significant amount of cleaning before it can be fully enjoyed. Location, Location, Location: Menai Bridge is a lovely town with easy access to the island's stunning coastline and attractions. The cottage is well-placed for exploring the area. The property retains many original features, giving it a unique and cozy atmosphere. log fire , fantastic views With some TLC, this could be a truly wonderful holiday home. Deep Cleaning: This is the most pressing issue. The cottage was not adequately clean upon arrival. cobwebs on all ceilings , what looked like dog urine stains on all carpets a think layer of dust everywhere in fact on arrival we noticed someone had written dirty in the dust on the main tv , all the pans and grill still had the grease after being used we ended up washing everything before using it but drew the line a getting the polish out. The shower toilet upstairs was full of mould and the shower tray had not been cleaned for some time thick with dirt. This significantly impacted our enjoyment of the property. Maintenance: While the property has character, some minor maintenance issues The main potential issue for the owners id the ceiling in the main bedroom was damp/wet with mould on the walls Thorough Cleaning: The most crucial step is a deep clean of the entire property. Minor Maintenance: Address the minor maintenance issues to improve the overall condition. Consider Professional Cleaning: If renting the property out, consider hiring a professional cleaning service to ensure a consistently high standard for guests. if you already have one replace them fast Despite the cleanliness issues, the cottage in Menai Bridge has a lot of potential. With the necessary attention to cleaning and minor maintenance, it could be a truly wonderful place to stay. However, in its current condition, it falls short of expectations.

" A perfect location to explore the rest of Anglesey. The house was perfect for us with good fishing locally. After visiting National trust properties in the area we would get back for a good soak in the hot tub. We did have a problem with hot tub, but when we rang Sykes it was all sorted in a matter of hours. 10 out of 10 for this. Bedrooms were spacious and the views over the Menai were awesome We watched the red squirrels that were in the trees at the side of this property. We loved our stay and we had a week of great weather. I would definitely return to Cae Gallt, it was very impressive.
