Glan Dwr Bach

The cottage is amazingly equipped.

It’s comfortable and beautiful. The views are exceptional and the bath is fantastic. A piece of my heart will remain there and the views of the Menai strait will be with me forever. Can’t wait to come back xxxx

The Menai Straits were outside the panorama windows giving a magnificent view of Snowdonia

Loved this house and was gutted to leave!

The views were incredible! The bath!! There's a nice little patio, but my favourite spot was the dining room window. The kitchen has been upgraded from the photos and is really nice. It probably does need a small chopping knife, but other than that the kitchen has everything you need, including a big fridge freezer. There were nice little touches on arrival with milk, cava and welsh cakes. The owners are downstairs and were very attentive when we had a slight issue with the WiFi. There is the odd spot of damp but it's an old house next to the sea and really, who is looking at that when you've got that view? The beds were comfortable and we didn't notice the road noise. Would happily book again for next summer

This cottage is all about the view over the Menai Strait, and it is indeed spectacular!

We spent quite a few hours watching the water, sky, mountains beyond, the boats and the pier opposite. There are parts of the cottage which are lovely too, the main bedroom and bathroom are the best part. The rest does not sadly come up to the same standard and in particular the living room carpet looks very grimy. The kitchen is not very well- equipped (eg no small kitchen knives), and it all could be a bit better. There are several window blinds which are dirty with spots of mould on them as well. The second bedroom and shower room are disappointing and feel tired. However the main problem for us as dog owners was that although the cottage is listed as dog-friendly, prospective guests need to be aware that there is no garden,(only a small and dirty patio off to the side) and the road immediately outside the door is very busy. We did not manage to find anywhere close to walk our dog, and it felt very scary walking along the pavement with traffic rushing by at 40+ mph. At the price it is listed for, we reasonably expected it all to be better. For these reasons we would not return.

This is probably our 5th time staying at GDB … we love it here!

It’s basically all on one level so great for our 96 year old father and the views across the Strait are unsurpassed … the property would benefit from a couple of upgrades (blind in bathroom) but look this is an old cottage that has been a post office in a previous life … it is a quirky, cosy, well presented property and quite simply delightful… with the added bonus that it is dog friendly! The kitchen is equipped with everything you require and is modern. There is no garden or access to the beach - there is however a small enclosed balcony which is accessed externally via a 10yard walk and down approx 10 steps (so not appropriate if you have mobility issues) but I sat out there every morning with a brew and watched the herons doing their stuff .. The property leads directly onto the road but you don’t get much road noise tbh … We are already looking at dates for next year - need I say more - for two weeks it is our place on the strait - who could ask for more ♥️

Fantastic place the views are amazin from every window place was very spacious and clean would deffinately book again .

thankyou.

We were thrilled with this property.

THE VIEWS ARE ACTUALLY BREATHTAKING! Every window, every day, stunning. The property is exactly as shown in the listing but that can't show the quality of the furniture and fittings throughout. Almost everything is top drawer, kitchen appliances, crockery, cutlery, towels. The potato peeler was superb, I can't believe I can still be impressed by a potato peeler! The fridge beeped if you left the door open, a revelation to me! The water pressure was superb and never ran out of hot water. Small exceptions were the double bed bedding which seemed well worn, and the lack of a small sharp kitchen knife. But, for my disabled husband and slightly mobility challenged sister this property was a joy. Thankyou.

Absolutely terrific location and setting for staying on this beautiful island.

Easy access to all attractions on the island plus the proximity to the mountains. Accommodation is pretty fully equipped. One or two items need replacing though. The most amazing thing about the cottage is the ever changing light on the Menai Strait and the views across the Strait and to the Eryri landscape. Would willingly recommend and re-visit whenever the opportunity arose.

It's all about the views.

The views from each window over the Menai Straight to Bangor and Eryri are wonderful. We enjoyed seeing the changing light each day. The kitchen is good with an decent oven, fridge and freezer. The heating is fine which we needed over the winter. The decor and furnishings are a little tired and in need of smartening up. There are one or two damp patches in the bathrooms. There is some road noise however we used the bedroom at the back of the house which was very quiet. It was a very relaxed and enjoyable stay and there is a lot to do in the local area.

The property was spotlessly clean and a good size.

The modern kitchen could have done with some sharp knives for food preparation. Every room had such marvellous views over the Menai Straits. Beds were comfortable. Thought there might be an issue with road noise, but wasn’t really noticeable, and heard nothing through the night. Would definitely choose to stay in the property again.

We had a fab stay.

2 parents in their 80s so needed accessible ground floor living, plus dog friendly makes it hard to find suitable places. But this one was great. Amazing views, comfy beds, cosy and all well equipped. Only downside is nowhere to let the dog out for a wee but we managed.

A really lovely propery and amazing views!

The bath is stunning and really well set up. Possibly the best shower I have ever had! High end kitchen which worked really well and every room has an amazing view out. It was feeling a little tired in places - stains on sofa arms, a couple of patches of mould in the corner of the kitchen and needing a good dust throughout. A slightly odd range of kitchen utensilts - one chopping board, a couple of pans which didn't work with the induction hob and only a carving knife! The garden is a very short walk along the road and easy to access with a dog. We visited in autumn and the leaves made the stairs quite tricky before we gave them a brush down. However, a beautiful spot for a cuppa looking over the straits. Overall, a really lovely stay and we would come back again :)

We had an amazing 2 night stay.

Our initial impression walking through the door was 'wow". The views are amazing and so tranquil. The cottage was so well equipped and had everything we could want. The prosecco and Welsh cakes were a wonderful surprise along with the bottle of milk for our first cup of tea looking out!!! The beds were do comfortable and we watched the sunrise and sunset. It's so close to the Menai Bridge and Beaumaris. Our only minus- we didn't book for a whole week!! Hope to return.

This property is in a lovely location to travel around the Island and the views are stunning.

Comfy bed and quiet area. However, the property needs some maintenance and updating. Uncomfortable sofa. Stains on furniture in the lounge and episodes of mould on blinds and walls. This was disappointing because with fresh decoration and a bit of maintenance this would be a stunning property. We feel this is honest feedback that we left with the owners

What an amazing cottage, fantastic views and ideally situated for local site seeing.

We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this place.

We enjoyed our holiday, the views were beautiful.

The home was comfy and spacious. The only things that were a little disappointing. 1. The house was a little tired and in need of a refresh, particularly in the lounge area where there was a big stain on the carpet and stains on the arms of the chairs. In every room there were spiders in the corners. 2. The outside area was very disappointing and not a reflection of the picture on the site. It was mostly in the shade, the seating and table were dirty. In addition it did not state on the website that access to this area was outside via the front door on a busy road and through a gate. This was totally impractical for us with 2 children and a dog. The dog had to be taken on a lead each time it wanted to go out.

Beautiful spot, overlooking the Menai Strait coast.

I was very disappointed with the description of the property, I have a dog and was led to believe there was a garden for her and access to the water, there was only a concrete enclosed square outside the property with a gate that was faulty (wouldn't close, would take 5 mins to fix), I had to get in my car and drive to a park and beach so she could do her business and have a run.

Not the purpose of My holiday. First and for most, I couldn't find the property, only with the help of locals, finally found it after driving up and down for 4 hours, if I would have had a phone number of the owner this stress could have been avoided, unacceptable!! Also was told a king-size bed could have been arranged for the second bedroom for my daughter, I emailed sent a message as requested 10 days then 7 days before, couldn't get through to anyone and phone number that was given I was constantly put on hold, the inside of the property was comfortable and the views were fabulous, I believe the owner lived downstairs (I heart just before we left) but not once came to greet us. The Front door is 3 meters from an extremely busy main road, this was also not stipulated in the description of the property, I would not recommend this property to anyone that has a dog, we made the most of the week but will never go back to this property, the money is not worth it, the owner needs to be more friendly and accessible, not a dog friendly property, also if there is a fire. No fire extinguisher and only one door to get out, as you are so far up.

We have already booked for next year so that pretty much says it all … The cottage is delightful and has everything one needs for a comfortable stay… we tended to eat out at lunch and then spend the evenings sitting around the table watching the ever changing Straits over a few glasses of wine!

We were very fortunate with the weather which meant I could take my morning brew out to the patio area which is literally about 10 meters away from the front door! We had a couple of niggles whilst there but they were sorted promptly and it was me being a bit precious rather than an issue with the facilities

We stayed 7-14 June and absolutely loved it.

You walk in through a little door to find a tardis of lovely rooms. Both bedrooms, kitchen and lounge have glorious views over the Menai Straits. It is all very clean, everything you could need, and tasteful decor. I loved the big bath in the window and we liked just sitting and looking at the views. Location great. Plenty of activities in the house from books to jigsaws and games. Comfy beds. Power shower. Helpful owner who sorted WiFi issue. Nice little patio, although it could have done with a bit of a sweep. The prosecco and cake were a thoughtful touch. We later found this property is part of what's known as 'Millionnaires Row' and I can see why from the great location. We would definitely recommend staying here as we certainly felt very lucky. Anne and Sally-Ann

Superb location for views and amenities.

Good property.Problems we had were been unable to contact you. Local office number and other no were unobtainable. So we could not request the full size bed in second room. My son over 6 foot slept in single. One window was not operational in main lounge and Internet was out of order. Plus we experienced a gas leak which was nobody's fault obviously and the owner was excellent in communicating what was happening. The cottage is a great destination though.

We had a fantastic stay at Glam Dwr Bach on the 11-16 May.

The views were stunning, you could see all the way the Meni straights. The cottage has everything you need for a lovely stay and is really clean. We really appreciated the Prosecco and the Welsh cake and would love to return.

A lovely property with great views and would recommend it to others A great base to explore the island from and there's plenty to see and do.

Thank you. We had a great time and would like to come back at some point for a longer stay.

Lovely setting overlooking the Menai Straits with snow Donna as a moody backdrop.

Quite mesmerising as light & tides continually change. The facilities are very good and comfortable and easy to enjoy. Only real drawback is proximity to main road giving rise to traffic noise both early & late at night if you’re use to silence! Overall very happy & would stay here again. Sykes cottages were effectively uncontactable when we wanted to alter the bedding configuration- their options did not cater for this despite giving a number to call to make such arrangements . Needs reviewing!

We had a brilliant holiday in an idyllic location.

The cottage was perfectly located with the most amazing views! We will definitely look to come back here.

Just perfect- we loved every minute that we spent in Glan Dwr Bach .

The views and the facilities were second to none. Would highly recommend.

We have previously stayed at this property and have already booked for next June - so that in itself speaks volumes!

This is a very old cottage - previously the post office! It has magnificent views of the Straits from all of the windows at the back of the house! It is on the main road from Menai to Beaumaris so you do get road noise but to be honest an extra glass of wine at night and one’s sleeps through without hearing it too much! There are a couple of stairs in the property but my 94 year old father managed them easily! The small terraced area is seperate to the house - you have to go out of the front door and walk less than 10 yards to the gate and there are approximately 10 steep steps down to it! I sat out there every morning with my dog and a brew watching the heron get its morning feed on the waters edge! Yes there is a build up of algae but come on guys - what do you expect … it’s on the straits and is a welcome addition to the facilities! We had a couple of barbecues on it last year - granted the steps are steep so be cautious! It does not have direct access to the waters edge/beach… but a short 5 minute walk to the Gazelle and you can skim as many stones as you want and have a pint - sounds perfect to me! The property does require a few things doing to it and it would benefit from the carpet being replaced in the lounge (or replaced with a decent solid wooden flooring) but look this is one of the few properties where you can take your dog and you step straight into the house from the road side so yes there are a few marks but this does not take away from the comfort and serenity of this place! The bath in the main bedroom is out of this world! There is a property underneath the cottage but you do not hear anything and occasionally you may see their delightful Jack Russell running around like a mad thing! It’s a dogs life afterall !! All in all - I accept that some work is required but we love it and would recommend it all day long …

Fantastic property which was exactly as described, and still exceeded expectations!

Very clean, well equipped and amazing views. Best holiday cottage ever stayed in, thank you. Have already recommended to several friends, and we'll definitely be coming back again, lovely holiday.

Very comfortable,really enjoyed the views.

My husband & I would be happy to stay again x

Firstly, ignore the negative reviews of this property.

It's just beautiful. You couldn't get a better property to enjoy the stunning views of the Menai Straits. Having just returned from a weeks stay, can honestly stay we all didn't want to leave. The property is in a fantastic location for visiting Menai Bridge and Beaumaris and just a short walk to the Gazelle Pub. You can easily drive round Anglesey and visit the amazing sights. The owners of the property are very welcoming and friendly, thank you for the welcome treats were very much appreciated. We would all stay again in this property. Thank you and can't wait to return to our happy place ❤️

This was our first stay here and we were unfortunately a little disappointed: Good - Comfortable beds in both rooms - Bath was really nice - Excellent views of the Menai - Good location as a base to explore Anglesey - Kitchen facilities overall were good Bad - The outdoor area is falsely advertised and doesn't specify that it is separate from the house.

You have to go out of the front door then down the steps this was not made apparent that it required going out of the property - with only 1 key and a door that locks behind you this was not convenient. In addition to this the outdoor area was unkept and did not match the photo's - the area was green with algae and overgrown, the furniture was not ready for use and was dirty. The area felt like an abandoned part of the home we have a photo to show this - A real shame this was not guest ready. - Cleanliness: The house was not at all as one would expect given the check in time was 4pm. Firstly the oven had not been cleaned and it had a piece of grease covered foil from the previous occupants who clearly had been using the same piece all weekend. The oven STUNK badly and as soon as we opened the door the smell filled the house - we needed to buy a scented candle and air freshner in order to get rid of it. This was hugely disappointing as that smell of burn, food and grease lingered for days. We took a photo of the state that the oven was left in but I cannot believe a cleaner would have left that as it was - we also had to cook ou first meal in the oven in such a state which was offputting. Secondly, the sofa's are filthy with stains all over them. I understand you cannot always replace sofa's/sofa covers due to an expense however I would highly recommend that you purchase some large throws so that the stains are fully covered up. It was quite offputting. Or invest in steaing/upholstery cleaning. Thirdly, the toilets were not cleaned fully, so bad in fact that we could smell urine around both toilets on our first day of arrival. These had not been cleaned fully at all as you would expect and required us to purchase cleaning products in order to rectify. Fourthly the general cleainless of the home. We understand that not every cobweb can be spotted and taken down but there were blatant areas that were not cleaned such as windows with dead bugs in them. You also have a set of drawers in the master bedroom with mould growing on the back of them. - Bedrooms - Master bedroom lacked a wardrobe which was very disappointing we had to hang our clean clothes over the clothes maid as the drawers had mould on them and could not be used. - Minor things: Wifi wasn't working on arrival and we needed to reset the router, it seems the connection is not the most stable though it got better over the week. The back of the TV HDMI slots are not big enough to plug in a conventional Wifi without a HDMR extender wire. We had to purchase one. Towels were a little low quality and didn't smell great from the start. Could do with spare towels and an upgrade to them is needed! Recommendations: - Bath Area: Add a small table next to the bath so you have a place to put drinks/phones. Also the bath can be very slippy if possible i'd suggest adding handles somewhere. - Decor: It's very outdated, some pictures are missing off the walls and paint work needs a refresh. Add a large wall mirror to living room to widen the space. - Recommend adding an extra light to the toilet area of the main bathroom, it's very dull in the evenings. - Add a wardrobe to the master bedroom - Add some plants (fake) to the bathrooms and other areas of the house this will contrast nicely with the decor (in particular the bath area) - Mirrors: Second bedroom has no mirror - You need some baking trays for things like pizza's - You need coasters in the living room - Buy some throws for the sofa's to cover up the stains - Sort out the cleaning issues - Tend to the outdoor area with a jet wash so that it feels ready for use! All in all if the cleanliness was addressed and the outdoor area was guest ready to use we'd have felt differently about our stay.

Lovely apartment wasnt a cottage as such .

Interior lovely etc couldnt fault . On advertising it said ( PETS YES) on payment it said one pet only, which caused problems at short notice. Also got the place coz out was all on one level and when we paid a few weeks later somebody put about outside area being down steps etc at side of property. Then sykes changed their description to ( outside area at side etc , no mention before) so although inside was lovely the outside area too my 97 yet old dad and my husband were inaccessible. Also we had to make arrangement for the other dog . So I woukdnt go back personally as it wasn't described correctly. If you don't have pets or elderly family it's a beautiful place .

Fantastic view, comfortable beds.

However furnishings were grubby and stained, carpets were dirty and stained. Kitchen cupboards had sticky finger prints all over them and draw fronts had crumbs in the recesses also the microwave was dirty inside from previous use. The Fan in wet room wasn't working which left everything damp, wet and slippery for most of the day. Misleading listing of property no garden as stated just a small patio area that can only be accessed from the front of the property next to the busy main road. Fishing was also mention in the listing but this was not possible due to no access to the main garden or sea front. This property was listed as a cottage but is in fact a flat on the top floor of a 3 storey building with the owners occupying the lower floors and Garden with access to shore.

A great little cottage, the only reason I marked down on giving full marks were that my husband and I are both age related disabled and found the settee and chairs far to low, we could not get up off them without help and had to spend all week either sitting on a dining chair or laying on the bed, Also, toilet very low, my husband could not get up from that on his own, thirdly, definitely a handrail to get up the step to the bathroom would have been a great help.

There was a small patio garden which we would have loved to spend a few hours in but again having about 8 or 9 steps to get up and down we could not manage them. Apart from that everything was fine. Plenty of equipment, all good quality the views were out of this world and the bed was wonderfully comfortable. Fine if you have no health issues, but if you do have you need a strong able body person to be able to help you.

Lovely cottage fantastic views great location

Very clean .

very comfortable. Well equipped. Spectacular views over the menai straits.

Overall the cottage was very neat, tidy and comfortable, we found that the extractor fan in the shower room was not working and lack of information on how to adjust the heating as some mornings were quite cold, we did figure it out but instructions would have been good, the terrace could do with a good clean, because on our first night there after it had been raining it was very slippy, a comment made by a previous guest, that would like to have used it.

The views are well worth the stay and made it very relaxing, would I come again? no, would I recommend it? certainly.

I enjoyed my stay and I would stay again.

The property is laid out in a line with big windows overlooking the Menai Strait. I felt like I was on a ship, which was ace. I imagine it being very exciting for kids. The property was nicely kept, and the bath is, as promised, amazing. Maybe one or two things could be upgraded but overall the property is nice and the view is astounding. It transformed being 'at base' into being as good as going out. However there is a busy road on the other side. You have to be super careful with dogs (and children). Amazing views and the experience was worth the money, but I didn't open the front door unless I was super sure the dog was properly harnessed and the lead double wrapped around may hand.

Fantastic location as stated.

Needs a thorough clean/dusting. I only used the one bedroom, one with the view, a lot of dust especially in bathroom and there seems to be a problem with mould in some areas. I know this is difficult to sort but really cleaner should have sprayed those areas. I was a landlord myself for 30 years. Think one dishwasher tablet was a little mean. I did I enjoy my stay a very convenient location and the views.

Absolutely stunning views from every window, Home from home and more, No Faults what so ever, Hospitality amazing,

Its a really lovely cottage with the most spectacular views of the Straits.

The cottage has everything you could possibly want in terms of comfort and cleanliness and some lovely extras provided by the ownerswhich were gratefully recieved! I was on my own with my dog for most of the week so lots of rest and relaxation. The only slight downside is the cloeness to the main road and had to be careful that the dog didnt escape! At present I'm walking with a stick and didt find dog walking from the cottage very easy but that said there are lovely beaches a short drive away which suited us fine ! The owners have obviously spent a lot of thought into making the property a lovely place to stay.

Simply first class accommodation

Good points: The location of the cottage is great despite the road being very busy; just a short drive to Beaumaris and Menai Bridge.

The selling point online was the view of the strait from the main bathroom, which is wonderful. The shower is very good. The beds are comfortable. Owner is very helpful, sorting out WI-FI password for us. Wecloming Prosecco and cake Disappointing things: Soiled furnishings, window seat cover and armchair covers Towels have a dirty smell, despite us machine washing them Broken light pull in bathroom Dead insects in bathroom Cobwebs around blinds in sitting room Rusty radiator Scuffed skirting Dirty floor around Bath Dirty windows inside and out The cottage could be amazing with more attention to detail. It definitely isn't worth the £950 + we spent for 5 nights. It promises a bit of luxury but doesn't deliver this. Our first vist to Angelsey was beautiful despite the wind and rain. Unfortunately it will be remembered for a very disappointing stay at Glan Dwr Bach and we will not be recommending it to friends and family, sorry.

Beautiful property in a superb location.

The ever changing view over the Menai Straits, the bridge and across looking towards Penryn Castle are breathtaking. The bath, also overlooking the Menai is a great treat. Bubbles with a view, literally as the lovely owner, Sally, left us a welcome gift of Prosecco and Fruit cake. The beds are super comfortable and cosy and the shower is the best I’ve ever took. It was a real home from home and our dog Annie really enjoyed her 1st holiday with a prime spot soaking up the sun on the bay window.

A wonderful cottage with stunning views along the Menai Straits.

The views are constantly changing with the tides and the weather. It was our second stay there, and hopefully not our last. A great base from which to explore this beautiful island.

Amazing property in a stunning location.

Everything we needed was available for a fantastic stay! And what a wonderful view to look out over!

A lovely property with fabulous views, very comfy, and a great base to explore the Island, and aswell as the amazing bath, probably the best shower I've ever used.

The Prosecco and cake on arrival was a lovely touch, and I can't thank the owners enough for doing everything they could to resolve an issue with the TV aerial (caused by high winds) as quickly as they could, they really went out of their way to help, thanks.

We enjoyed our stay, fantastic views from all rooms!

Good location and well presented, we appreciated the modern kitchen and bathrooms. Lack of soap, shampoo etc in the bathroom was a surprise, we almost expect that as standard now. Patio/terrace was nice although we didn't actually use it much. For those who need a short dog walk before breakfast, Coed Cyrnol; next to Waitrose at Menai Bridge (5 min drive) was very good.

A delightful, well equipped cottage with amazing views … a bit of road noise but that’s unavoidable.

. the owners have also made an outdoor seating area which is ideal for enjoying the afternoon sun and watching the shenanigans on the Striats… This is the ideal property if a member of your party has mobility issues… We really can’t fault our stay and will hopefully return again next year!

Lovely cottage, very clean, well maintained & equipped with everything you need.

Fabulous views from every room with a patio to enjoy the scenery. A perfect place to relax.

Lovely cottage with fantastic views.

Both bedrooms are excellent with their own bathrooms and sea views Located on busy rd but minimum traffic noise inside the cottage We will definitely be going back (Missing a wardrobe in main bedroom but that’s only my opinion)

Glan Dwr Bach was a delightful cosy cottage with a view to die for.

The owners were friendly and helpful but not intrusive. One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in. Thank you.

Great place to stay cant fault the facilities, the views are fantastic, really good base to explore the rest of the island, just a shame the weather wasn't a bit better on the last couple of days.

Only one criticism was the noise from the road at peak times, but its a small price to pay for the location.

Nice property with stunning views, access to the water would be nice.

The road outside needs speed limit enforcing be careful with small kids.

Should have told us about bring toilet paper.

Fire escape…none as I was concerned how to escape if there is fire as no fire stair at rear and front windows non open..it’s extremely important to put on listing to aware for others. Not happy to hear Jack Russell barked at most of time when open window from downstairs and need owner to control their behaviour dogs

Glan Dwr Bach is in a stunning location looking across the Menai Strait on Anglesey.

The view of mountains across the water is constantly changing. Patio down steps was great too (but the road is fast - expect traffic noise and then ignore it). A short drive to shops at Menai Bridge and Beaumaris for provisions - so very convenient. Beds comfortable, everything clean, well-organised, some lovely touches on arrival plus bath with a view. Hob, oven etc new and easy to operate. Only additions recommended would be silicone spoon for stirring the non-stick pans. Otherwise, a lovely stay, would happily return.

Wonderful stay.

Wish it could have been longer. Would stay again without hesitation. The only down side for us was having to go out of the front door on the main road to get to the lovely patio with our dog. Everything else was exceptional.

Beautiful cottage with a WOW factor view.

Very clean & comfortable, tastefully furnished to high standard. Modern fully equipped kitchen catering for all your needs. Large bright airy bedrooms with comfy beds and of course the spectacular view. Good power shower in wet room, luxury bathroom again with a panoramic view. We had lovely weather and spent many hours relaxing on the private patio, just enjoying the sunshine & the scenery. Fabulous place perfect in every way, can't wait to return.

We have had a wonderful week in the cottage, it was everything we expected and more.

The addition of a newly fitted kitchen with full size fridge freezer and every cooking accessory we needed was a massive bonus, and the newly finished private patio was a real surprise. As others have already commented, the views from every window on the coast side of the cottage are amazing, and even when the weather wasn’t the best, we found ourselves gazing out watching the clouds and boats passing by our windows! We did not find the noise from passing traffic to be too intrusive, although the cottage is adjacent to the main road to Beaumaris. This is a small price to pay for the excellent views and really handy location for exploring the island and the nearby Snowdonia countryside. As a person who has some mobility issues, I personally found the accommodation to be excellent, with everything on (almost) the one level, and the effort the owner has put into creating the private patio is to be commended. We are already looking at booking our next break here at the cottage and we haven’t finished this holiday yet! Thanks for letting us share your fabulous home and we can’t wait to come back!

This is the most perfect cottage, exactly what we needed.

The views are truly outstanding and we spent many hours relaxing in the bath watching the sea - stunning! The views from every room window are second to none. The cottage has been so well planned out - our son came with us and he had his own “separate “ wing - which gave us all our privacy. If I could permanently move in tomorrow I would. Thank you for sharing this fabulous place with us. You are such thoughtful owners with everything in the cottage plus cake Prosecco,milk, tea, coffee waiting for us when we arrived - simply perfect. ❤️

A really beautiful cottage with everything we needed.

The views were excellent really made the holiday

I visited with my wife and 1year old for a last minute break over Christmas for 4 nights.

We really enjoyed our time from the moment that we set foot inside the property our expectations were met! A cosy cottage with beautiful views from all of the rooms. There was a bit of a draught from the main door and it is on a main road so you can hear vehicles zooming past on an evening from the rooms at the front of the house, but this wasn't a nuisance. Some nice touches in the cottage included a pair of binoculars to ogle the lovely views. The kitchen facilities were excellent and we were not short of anything. We were also provided with a little play pen for the baby which was great. I would recommend and would love to revisit in the summer. Oh yes the bathtub and view was amazing :)

As listed.

Great cottage with good facilities. The bathrooms are of a good quality. Lovely views from the bath. Great location for the Snowdonia National Park. Good facilities close by - Pub, Waitrose, Fuel Station. Had difficulties on arrival ensuring we found the correct cottage and upset a neighbour. The road was very busy with a narrow paths which was difficult walking the dog. Having said that I would recommend this property.

Lovely views from all windows.

Comfy, clean beds. The en-suite bathroom was lovely but could have done with a separate shower as it has plenty of room for one. Well equipped kitchen. Thank you for the Prosecco and cake. A very nice welcome.

As a dog friendly apartment it didn’t have any outside area Even just a little square would be nice Also if 4 of us had gone I’m not sure where we could have parked another car, as the place downstairs was parked in front of our bedroom window.

So would have had no room as all

Great stay, this was the third time!

Unfortunately next year's prices have gone through the roof so it probably will be our last. Very disappointing.

The location was perfect and the cottage was excellent for the family of 4 and our Dog.

Whilst there is no outdoor space to let the dog out on its own, the walk from the cottage to the beech is only a couple of minutes. The walk also takes you to the local pub / restaurant (the Gazelle) which is dog friendly both inside and out. All in all a perfect cottage in a perfect location.

The cottage was lovely and not at all dirty or smelly like some reviews stated.

Shame there was no garden but we still enjoyed the views from the windows, especially the window seat in the dining area. The towel rail in twin room was leaking but plumber attended within 2 days of reporting this. Couldn’t get the hob to work. I did request the twin be made into a double but this was not done which was disappointing. Overall a lovely cottage with everything we needed and nice touch of the Prosecco and cake on arrival.

We only scored good due to the fact it is missing an outside space especially with pet.

Such an amazing cottage views and facilities were excellent, we had a great time. Owners were very friendly and we had an amazing week. Very comfy beds and furnishings Thank you

Views were truly amazing.

THAT BATH!!!!! cottage cosy and comfortable. had everything we needed. loved the place and surrounding area. will definitely book again. thank you so much for a lovely holiday after a year of chaos. hopefully normality will resume shortly x

The cottage could have done with modernising as quite dated .

Also nt a good idea to have carpets down when dogs are staying . Views are amazing ! just the cottage itself needs a good over haul decorating and modernising and bringing in to the 21 st century

No spare toilet rolls in either bathroom was a small but penny pinching gripe in an otherwise well appointed cottage.

This is listed as a pet friendly cottage but I feel the ad should be explicit about potential access to a yard /garden (or lack thereof) as the cottage is on a busy main road.

This made early morning/late night toileting a bit of a chore. There looked to be a small garden at rear but unclear if we could access. The views are spectacular.

Fabulous cottage, high spec throughout and fantastic views but sometimes it’s the little things that cause a problem.

The can opener was impossible to use and the sofa was too old and uncomfortable as was the double bed mattress.

The cottage was lovely with amazing views

The holiday cottage was as advertised.

The views and rooms were all amazing and we had a super staycation apart from the cleanliness and no WiFi for 2 days. There were dead flies under the dressing table, there were loads of cobwebs, food stains Around the kitchen In various places, a filthy grill/ oven, A vacuum cleaner that stunk of wet dog when we tried to clean for ourselves. It definitely hadn’t been cleaned to a ‘Covid-19’ standard and so we spent a couple of hours cleaning with our own products in the kitchen and getting rid of the cobwebs we could reach. We loved the property and the linen was lovely, but the lack of cleanliness let the property down. Also the lack of WiFi was very annoying. I think we would def stay again for a longer time next time but would love the cleaning to be improved as it wasn’t really acceptable. Thanks

Only problem we could have a grumble about was lack of toilet rolls ( not a major problem though) and the property below us had a dog that in particular one night barked for a few hours, we assumed it had been left just happened to be the evening we ate in after a busy day.

Other than these points top place to stay with beautiful scenery would have loved to sit outside but no garden.

I feel the listing is somewhat misleading.

The property is described as ground floor but, although the entrance is at street level, the property is actually the top floor of a three storey building. Two of the frying pans were not compatible with the induction hob so could not be used at all.

Glan Dwr Bach absolutely exceed all expectations, the location and views from all the rooms were fabulous as well as the style and cleanliness of the whole cottage.

Will be going back again 100%

Fantastic weeks stay at this little gem cottage.

Uninterrupted views if the straits was amazing! Really good base to explore All of Anglesey, which we did

Brilliant!

our first visit to Anglesey and this cottage is amazing - we loved it!

Had a lovely time in Glan Dwr Bach Views are stunning.

Property met all our expectations and was as listed. The bath was amazing. Would have been perfect if there was an area to sit outside to enjoy the view. Look forward to to returning one day.

The second bathroom needs a mirror The fridge doesn’t get cold enough

Superb property!

I will certainly recommend Glan Dwr Bach for the views and the quality of accommodation, these were excellent. Please mention to owners the dripping tap in kitchen - not a problem for us, at all, but I’m sure someone will complain. I’ve used Menai Holidays for years and never had a problem, they have always exceeded my expectations. This time I am far from happy that I had spotted GDB was not shaded out on the booking website, the week before we were travelling. This was resolved, eventually. I was told it had not been shaded out due to joining up with Sykes! There was absolutely not need for me to have been put in a stressful situation, the week before travel, and there still has been no formal apology. It was merely brushed off with ‘at least the property is free’. YES it should be free for me and my family as I booked and paid for it months ago. I do feel the latter should be shared with Menai Holidays themselves, as I say after years of no difficulties I feel that this blip, having merged with Sykes, and the response given is far from acceptable for such a previously professional business. I have paid a lot of money for a gorgeous property and expect a much better standard of ‘voice to voice’ customer service and a formal apology for such a basic confusion. Luckily for Skye’s and Menai Holiday GDB was not double booked!

We have been coming to Anglesey for over 30 years and used Menai holidays many times but never stayed this side of the island.

Glan Dwr Bach was perfectly located for us and it was just what we required.Very clean & tidy with lovely beds & bedding and a lot of thought had gone into the layout. The views were magnificent from every room. Will definitely come back.As always service from Menai Holidays excellent.

Well apppointed, beautiful views, very cosy

Already posted our experience at this cottage

Fantastic location and outlook.

Very comfortable plus well equipped kitchen. Would have given 5 stars if niggly things sorted, such as lose toilet roll holder, lack of loo roll on arrival (not loo obsessed, honest!).

Fabulous views from all rooms, clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Wished we could stay forever!

The small cottage was everything we expected.

Well equipped ,clean and delightful. The only drawback was no outside access. We were with other family members in Glan Dwr below us and so shared the outside space with them. It would have put us off booking again if we had not had this option

Stunning.

Simply stunning.

Beautiful views, but a more well fitting front door, or a door into lounge would omit road noise-especially when wet.

Marvellous cottage with fantastic views.

A layout that is quirky and different, but works very well. Very nicely equipped. An ideal location to visit Anglesey and North West Wales.

The cottage is charming with fantastic views.

Nicely laid out for four people. There were a few things lacking. There was no welcome package with manuals. No mirror in the shower room and no light above the mirror in the bathroom with tub. We did not mind not having a dishwasher but there was no washing up bowl and no dish washing liquid. Only a couple of tea towels and the pedal bin would not stay closed. Also, the addition of a salad spinner would be good. We loved our stay in Glyn Dwr Bach and hope this helps.

it would have been 5 stars but the main road in front of the house lets it down

What a very special place x

Stunning location with fabulous views.

Cottage was nicely presented; just one or two tiny things... Neither of us could get the hob to work! Might be worth checking out as we're reasonably handy! A few cobwebs high up on the walls (I hoovered them up for you!) Other than that it was brilliant! Staff recommendations for walks & beaches were spot on; we loved Newborough beach especially.

This cottage is a secret haven!

Everything is perfect and I never tired of looking at the view of the beautiful Menai Straits. Truly magical.

Amazing views of the Menai strait from every window.

Lovely sized bedrooms and lay out all on one floor which made it easy having a toddler and baby. Good proximity to both Beaumaris and Menai Bridge.

Lovely presented all needs for great week

Fabulous place, modern cottage, amazing views
