“The key safe was difficult to use, could probably do with replacing.”

The kitchen patio door lock was also very stiff. We had an 87 year old with us who struggled to get up from the sofa ( and that was the higher one, we struggled with the lower one!!). The addition of a higher armchair would help and/or blocks under the low sofa to raise it. Our dog was well catered for at the accommodation but would be worth warning potential guests that beach access is restricted. It was a shame to gave a lovely beach nearby and not be able to go on it.

“This is the 3rd time we have stayed in this location and apartment, we love it in benllech.”

The apartment is ideal for us especially with it being on the ground floor where our Springer Ella can come and go all day in the back garden (she didn't want to come home). The apartment is clean, well stocked and nice welcome goodies waiting for us. The local amenities are handy. The beach is just a nice 10mins walk, albeit down a steep road, but if you don't walk, you can use the car. There is a car park near the beach and toilet facilities which are very clean. Ella loves it on the beach and in the sea, makes a change for her daily exercise on the road or in a field. Lovely places to visit and explore. We will certainly be going back again.

“A clean, modern, warm, dog friendly apartment in a central location, handy for shops and takeaways.”

Private parking is a bonus. A ten minute walk to the beach for an invigorating morning dog walk. A nice welcome pack upon arrival: thank you. A January stay meant we did not use the rear garden.

- Robert, December 2023
David September 2023

“Beautiful modern apartment conveniently located next to shops, eating places and the beach.”

We loved the apartment, what we didn't love was being woken up at 7am every morning by the horrendous noise from the apartment above. We went there for a relaxing peaceful break but the noise was too much. Unfortunately, we will not stay at this property again because of this reason.

“This is a lovely property, close to all amenities, and great views.”

my only niggle, was the cleaning could have had a bit more attention to detail, glass windows and doors not cleaned, kitchen cupboard not cleaned inside and finger marks left on outside of lovely white cupboards. bedroom window couldn't be opened as key to window was missing and the room was very hot, so had to sleep with bedroom door open. bedsheets were too small for the size of the bed and kept coming off which was a nuisance. The mattress protector was plastic underneath, and so was sweaty. But all said, it was a beautiful place, and would go back again.

“Fantastic stay and the location was perfect for us.”

Had everything we needed. The en suite needs attention but this didn’t dull our stay. Defiantly looking to book again. Thankyou

“The apartment was great, everything we needed with plenty of room in the open plan main area.”

Lots of nice extras with games, dvds, bits and pieces in kitchen. Great private parking, a real added bonus in the area! Nice to have a little outdoor area for the dog plus the table and chairs to be able to sit out. Towels were lovely and soft, bedding was all good- these little things make all the difference. Great location with fab chippy and Indian plus good pub all on doorstep. Beach was lovely with the dog friendly part at the far end. The thing to ruin our time in the apartment was the people upstairs. Whenever they were home, the young grandson was allowed to literally run riot from 7am until 9pm. Running around continuously, shouting, banging doors. It really did ruin what was meant to be our peaceful holiday when in the apartment in the mornings and evenings. Not your fault but it is the reason we would not book again even though we plan to return to the area and the apartment was absolutely what we would look for in a place to stay. Thank you for making it such a homely place to be. You really have made a good job.

“We’ve had a lovely holiday in the apartment.”

Been 3 or perhaps 4 times now and wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Benllech. Fully equipped with all you need. Kitchen equipment, wifi, etc no need to take anything with you. Perfect for our little dog, enclosed garden, dog bowls and also tin of treats. Table/chairs/parasol in the garden. Thank you once again! Susan

“Excellent accommodation.”

The openplan layout is perfect and the garden also for safety with a dog. Convenient for beach, eating out and exploring the island. Highly recommend. We will return.

Steve September 2022

“The property is great sadly let down by very restrictive check in (5pm) and check out (9am) times.”

Never stayed anywhere, hotel or other that has such hours. Even left the night before so not to have all the hassle of getting out by 9am. Very good property and location but would not rebook because of the checkin and check out times. Two issues that require attention. The back gate is warped and sticks which does not help access the key box. Second bedroom. When stripping the bed on leaving, stain on the duvet. Other than that property very clean and good facilities.

- Steve, September 2022
Susan July 2022

“Wonderful apartment, everything you could need, well equipped and very clean.”

Nice outdoor garden and secure. Good to be able to let our dog roam in and out. Parking on the premises on numbered spot and secure. Only one negative is the fact that you can’t have access into the apt until 5pm. Other places we have been are 3pm. It feels as if you lose a day of your holiday. Otherwise all excellent and very happy and look forward to staying again. Thank you

Mark June 2022

“We had a lovely stay.”

The apartment had everything we needed to make our stay nice. It was very clean and well presented and is in a lovely location in the middle of the village. We have already booked to go back again next year.

- Mark, June 2022
Jeremy May 2022

“Conveniently situated in the middle of the village for shops and take-aways.”

View of the sea across rooftops. Traffic and parking on double yellow lines could be a problem

The bed was the most comfortable bed we have slept in and I would like to know which mattress it was if possible so as we could purchase one everything about the apartment was very good

“We had a great stay at this property.”

In the heart of Benllech and so close to the most beautiful beach. Everything you need in a self catering apartment is here. Beautifully decorated and quality fixtures and fittings. I would recommend this property and also hope to return in the future

Graham December 2021

“Had a wonderful stay.”

The location was brilliant and we could not have asked for better. All was satisfactory and no problems encountered. The only thing we did not find was a scourer for pan cleaning but remedied at Tesco Express! Perhaps this item could be added to the list of things one should take with you. Our only observation would be the 9.00 am departure time. In order to leave the apartment as we wished we left to travel home on the previous day. Thank you for a great break.

- Graham, December 2021
Tracy October 2021

“We had a lovely time at this apartment had everything we needed, in a very convenient place for Tescos, chippy and pub.”

Couple of damp patches that need sorting in en suite bathroom due to shower leaking and in the living room where its leaked from the en suite. Everything else was great nice garden close to lovely beach had some great walks

- Tracy, October 2021
Kathryn June 2021

“Great flat in a great central location.”

Lovely and clean upon arrival. The only thing that made it difficult with two small children was check in being 5pm (tea and bath time) and check out at 9am. The check out being an hour later and check in being an hour earlier would have made it a lot less stressful. But the actual flat was lovely and we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return.

- Kathryn, June 2021
Candice May 2021

“Fantastic location and apartment.”

Beautiful towels , ironing facilities, hairdryer, washer/dryer , wifi ,everything you need . We are returning in aug and possibly next year . We love benllech we have been coming for 10 years this is the best accommodation we have found .

“This is my 5th stay at this appsrtment and I was as pleased as ever.”

All facilities within a 30 second walk and yet the accommodation is very quiet. Really clean really well equipped...thank you

Lynne September 2020

“A comfortable, clean and spacious apartment in an ideal location for amenities, beach and exploring Anglesey.”

The garden is a good spot to relax. The only downside is that one of the two people staying in the apartment above was very heavy footed and frequently pounded on our ceiling whilst walking up and down for quite long periods of time. We had to put the tv on to drown out the noise. There should be a notice in the apartment above asking people to be mindful there are occupants below. The upper apartment needs something on the floor to dampen the noise.

- Lynne, September 2020
Clare August 2020

“Excellent location.”

Perfect enclosed garden for dogs, close to all amenities Spacious apartment. Would highly recommend ♥

- Clare, August 2020
Keith August 2020

“Amazing property, everything you need and a real home from home.”

Perfectly located to travel around the island ... and 5 minute walk to the beach. Located right next to tesco express, a number of local cafes, and the best fish&chip shop in Anglesey. We will definitely book again.

- Keith, August 2020

“Having stayed at this property last year, we have no issues at all with the location, comfort or cleanliness of the apartment.”

However there were a number of things which have dampened our enthusiasm and taken the shine from our holiday experience. We were aware that there was a building plot at the rear of the property and were astounded to find that construction work was underway and lasted throughout our visit. This involved large mechanical diggers, welding of steel girders, cement mixing and vehicles entering and exiting the site. It made use of the outside space virtually impossible due to the noise and dust. We are extremely disappointed that this was not mentioned prior to our visit. We did send an email to Menai Holidays to advise of the unsatisfactory situation and received a phone call back from Anthony COR-175923-CF. We have sent photos & videos as evidence but we have not had a reply despite requesting an update. Secondly, the property includes a washing machine which does not work. I mentioned this to the house keeper on day 2 of our visit and supplied the make and model of the machine however nothing was actioned before we left. Thirdly, there are no recycling facilities within the apartment block. We made several journeys to a recycling centre in Benllech to dispose of our recycling. Sadly other guests within the apartment block did not, which led to the general waste bins becoming full & black bin bags being left next to our front door. The seagulls took great delight in shredding the bin bags on a daily basis. Finally, it is unfortunate that as residents of the ground floor you are reliant on the upstairs occupants showing some courtesy during their stay. At times the noise on the ceiling from above was horrendous and when combined with the noise outside made for a very unpleasant experience. Whilst we are happy to recommend the property we would very much welcome your feedback to the issues we have raised. We look forward to hearing back from you shortly.

“The apartment is centrally located close to all amenities.”

It is modern and has a superb kitchen and open plan lounge which opens out to an enclosed private garden. There are views to the sea and it is just a short walk to the beach. It has two lovely bedrooms one of which is ensuite and a great bathroom. We chose to leave the car the entire 3 nights stay and explore the local coast. It was great for our dog who loved it. We would highly recommend the accommodation.

- Peter, August 2019
Susan August 2019

“A wonderful comfortable & spotlessly clean apartment right in the centre of Benllech.”

We had a fabulous time, the garden is a lovely sun trap & our dog loved it. Would definitely recommend & we hope to be back next year.

John July 2019

“This was our second visit to the appartment with our dog and it was still immaculate.”

It is so modern and well equipt and the location is perfect with all amenities close by. We will be back again next year as our dog and ourselves love the area John,Pat and Tara

- John, July 2019
Sandra July 2019

“This was the 2nd time we stayed at the property.”

It is an ideal location as so close to shops, beach etc and you can spend the day without the car by walking to Red Wharf Bay. The property itself is comfortable and ideal for 2 people. It has views to the sea which is nice. The only criticism this time was that the standard of cleanliness was not as high as it should have been and I left details of this on the feedback sheet for the cleaning company. A suggestion to the owners - the window in the 2nd bedroom has no lock / security on it so cannot be left open at night as it is the ground floor and anyone could gain access through it. We would have liked to book again next year but on checking the website have found that the cost has increased by over £100 for the same period, so will be unaffordable.

- Sandra, July 2019
Pauline June 2019

“Well fitted out apartment and garden a sun trap with views of the sea .”

Ideally located very close to shops and the Benllech pub. For us as my husband has mobility issues this is definitely the best apartment we have stayed in We are definitely booking a return visit soon .

“We’ve now stayed at Cysgod Y Capel four times and we just love it.”

Lovely decor and really comfortable. Everything you might need is there. Lovely little garden that has a view of the sea and is a bit of a sun trap. Location is fantastic- 5 minutes walk to the brilliant beach and a couple of minutes to shops and takeaways (the best fish and chips are found less than two minutes away). Perfect location for visiting all of Anglesey.

“This was our third visit and it was lovely as always.”

Beautiful decor, very clean and comfortable and everything you need is supplied. Lovely little garden is great with a glimpse of the sea. We were really grateful the owners took the time to set out Christmas decorations, made it extra special as it was also my birthday. Hoping to be back again in Spring.

Gary Ward Nov 2018

“Really clean and warm with lots of personalised touches that made it look great.”

Someone has spent a lot of time (successfully) making this the best equipped place I have stayed in. Chippy, Chinese, curry house, Tesco express and pub all within 50 yards....but you don't get any noise as the apartment is set back from the road.

- Gary Ward, Nov 2018
G Thomas Oct 2018

“Second visit to Cysgod Y Capel.”

A very modern spacious property with excellent facilities and everything you need for a relaxing break. It is also in a perfect location with shops, take aways and pubs/restaurants within a radius of 300 yards. Ideal location also for walks and exploring all of Anglesey. Couldn't ask for better.

“Nice modern apartment.”

Well located. Well equipped. Bedding clean but well worn. No tea towel in kitchen. Noisy when people in apartment above were walking around. However these small things did not detract from a great stay.
