“We enjoyed our stay and was lovely and warm upon arrival.”
We had a small problem with the freezer and was resolved quickly. The owner left a pack of mince pies and a Christmas toy for our dog who was a good boy.
We had a small problem with the freezer and was resolved quickly. The owner left a pack of mince pies and a Christmas toy for our dog who was a good boy. It had a well equipped kitchen but knives left a lot to be desired. Although we had 2 cars there was never a problem with parking as there was a small parking area across the road.

Geoffrey “We arrived to find a bottle of wine and some Welsh cakes which was a nice gesture by the owner.”
Ael Y Bryn was lovely, clean, roomy and well-equipped with plenty of cupboard space, a reasonably sized fridge and freezer. The washing machine was useful. The wifi was excellent. The shower was lovely and warm. It is not too far from the shops or the harbour and we found Amlwch a good base for a walking holiday. There were a few tiny gripes: the frying pan wasn't non-stick and was difficult to clean, and the toilet proved difficult to flush at times. We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again.
- Geoffrey, September 2021Jill “The only thing that wasn't correct were the directions to the house, otherwise it would have been 10/10.”
It should have said, 'From the Bangor direction, when in Amlwch, turn right right at the SECOND'Town Centre' sign, TAKE FIRST LEFT and continue for a QUARTER of a mile then turn right at dead-end sign; the directions are correct from then on. Fortunately Google Maps found the house for us. Apart from that, all was very good thank you. The house was exceptionally well-equipped.
- Jill, August 2021Karen “A lovely cottage which is a perfect base for exploring Anglsey.”
There was everything in the cottage that you could possibly need. We arrived to find a bottle of wine and some Welsh cakes which was a lovely gesture. The welcome book had all the information in you needed and they were at the end of the phone if needed anything at all. The steep climb up to the back of the house is well worth it on a clear day sat up their enjoying the view. We had a problem with the boiler- we rang the owners who were very apologetic but it didn’t spoil the holiday at all as there is an electric shower and also an electric fire in the lounge. Someone from Sykes cottages rang us back within 10mins of speaking to the owners and they arranged for an engineer to come out. Excellent service. Would certainly recommend this cottage, comfy beds everything you could need, there’s a park right across the road from cottage, co-op shop and Spar shop across the road from the park. Lots of lovely beaches to visit and the copper mine on your door step. Would definitely stay here again.
- Karen, August 2021Mark “Lovely cottage, a real home from home.”
- Mark, August 2021Julie “There is a beautiful secluded cove a five minute walk away.”
Check tide times first. We'll worth a visit.
- Julie, July 2021Roger “The house was clean and had everything we needed, however, the hideous brown sofa in lounge was very uncomfortable.”
There was nowhere to hang coats in the kitchen when you arrive, no hooks in bathroom for towels and robes and no hooks in bedroom for dressing gowns, so that was frustrating, nowhere to hang anything. The rooms and garden look deceivingly much bigger online as was all no doubt photographed with a long lens.
- Roger, June 2021Graham “It was great to discover the Co-op was only a few minutes walk away.”
I avoided the sofa as it gave no support to my back. The shower fitting was a bit temperamental - it needed some coaxing to give heat. The double-bed mattress was rather saggy. Please don't rely on email for communication once we are on holiday. We received your email after we got home. Give us a ring by mobile phone to tell us what is happening. Declining our request to leave at 11am on Friday was nonsensical. We could only get a taxi for 11am. As we hadn't received your email, we left at 11am and there was no sign of any Covid cleaners, so no problem. Overall, a pleasant, well-positioned cottage and a very good holiday.

The property
Settled on the shores of the breath-taking Isle of Anglesey in the bustling town of Amlwch, is this delightful mid-terrace cottage, Ael Y Bryn.
Adorned with many characterful features throughout, this humble holiday home is perfectly suited to a couple or a small family of four, who seek an unforgettable escape by the coast.
Return from an action-packed adventure down by the seaside to the welcoming embrace of this home-away-from-home, kicking off your sand-filled shoes as you retreat to the restful sitting room and delight in a warm cup of tea whilst warming your feet by the pretty electric fire.
Move your way through to the kitchen, rustling up a tasty afternoon snack or hearty home-cooked with the help of the many appliances and utensils that rest within the charming country-style cabinets.
Joining the space is a pretty oak dining table with seating for four, a wonderful place to gather with loved ones over a bottle of wine and exchange your most memorable moments from the holiday so far.
As you begin to feel yourself tire, carry yourself off to the inviting king-size or choose to stay in the quaint and peaceful twin, allowing yourself to drift away as you look forward to another fun-filled day on this spectacular island.
Cross on over to the bright and airy family bathroom, and kick-start your day with a rejuvenating rinse under the shower or a relaxing soak in the bathtub.
Venture outside to the garden, climbing the steep stone steps up to the patio, a truly tranquil space to bask in the sunshine whilst sipping on a refreshing beverage of your choice.
Make the most of your time in Wales with days spent hiking along the glorious Isle Of Anglesey Coast Path, taking in the stunning sea views as you venture towards Llanbadrig and Cemaes.
Uncover the remains of Porth Wen Brickworks and Llanlleiana Old Porcelain Works, or wander across the luscious open fields of Dinas Gynfor to Traeth Mawr Big Beach and enjoy a fun-filled day down by the sea.
Visit Holy Island and discover the vast sandy shores of Trearddur Bay, and the picturesque RSPB South Stack Lighthouse, or hop in the car and head for the mainland where the town of Caernarfon boasts a rich local history with landmarks and attractions such as the imposing Word Heritage Fortress.
Be at one with nature in Snowdonia National Park, scaling the heights of Glyder Fawr and Snowdon, or on an awe-inspiring journey through the countryside with Llanberis Lake Railway.
The children will love a day out to GreenWood Family Park, Pili Palas Nature World, and the Anglesey Sea Zoo, whilst there's plenty of fun to be had for adults in the many bars and restaurants that line the thriving streets of Amlwch.
With all this and so much more to look forward to, be sure to book a stay at Ael Y Bryn.
