“Cute little cottage on a country lane.”

No TV, but nice to do without it for a week! Everything you could want was provided. Very clean & tidy. Only problems - The parking on the lane outside the property, which was tight, with large tractors frequently passing by. Also, the basin in the bathroom had the slowest hot water supply ever. We enjoyed the week though 10/10

“A comfortable property in a beautiful part of the world.”

The cottage suited my wife and I perfectly and our dog loved the two gardens. I needed to contact the owner with a brief question she was easy to contact ,friendly and helpful. We enjoy visiting Anglesey and do so a couple of times a year. We will happily revisit Ffrwd cottage should it be available on dates we wish to travel. Recommended.

Very pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the cottage and thank you for taking the time to recommend us. Hope you will return. Property Owner

“So lovely and peaceful.”

Plain but everything we needed was there. So enjoyed our week. Would have liked to stay longer! Thank you.

“No padlock on the side gate, No wood in in fire basket, spiders and cobwebs across the ceilings, spiders squashed on walls, Loud extractor fan in bathroom which you hear in bedroom, Twin bedroom needs to be changed around to give more room.”

perhaps put beds either side of the door entrance so each bed has an exit to the middle of the room, Outside the overgrowth on the walled garden needs attention, caught my coat on brambles, the path has brambles and very slippy and uneven. Could do with a porch on the kitchen entrance to put wet boots and coats, if the side garden had part of it given over to a car parking area would be great, A very sweet little cottage, great location.

Steven July 2023

“The cottage was idyllic, the garden was fantastic for our little pooch to run around in.”

The only small negative was that after long days of walking it would have been great to come back to more comfortable seating.Overall we were very happy with the cottage and the housekeeper was super helpful providing us with tips on where to eat out, places to visit etc .

- Steven, July 2023
Lynne June 2023

“The cottage was perfect.”

Exceptionally clean and well maintained with everything we could have ever needed. A perfect location to explore the beautiful island and coastline. A little gem. My only recommendation is comfier chairs by the fire but as it was summertime it wasn’t a problem. Beautiful natural garden and wonderfully peaceful.

- Lynne, June 2023
Laura June 2023

“The cottage was absolutely lovely and clean to a very high standard.”

The cottage was very well equipped and came with lots of hidden extras. The kids played for hours in the garden with the kubbs game. Excited to book again for next year.

- Laura, June 2023

“The cottage is a real gem.”

It’s light and airy, well equipped and comfortable. The 2 gardens are surrounded by fields & open skies. Well chosen book collection & DAB radio

“No hot water for the duration of the holiday reported it not fixed”

- John, May 2023

Sorry for the inconvenience with the hot water. Unfortunately there were only two days of your holiday left when we heard about it so there was not enough time to get it fixed. Property Owner
Mary April 2023

“Ffrwd is a really lovely cottage to stay in (very well equipped, including good reading matter, maps and walk books), with a lovely, peaceful garden.”

We loved it! And Aberffraw on the doorstep as well as many other wonderful places. Thank you.

- Mary, April 2023
Tony September 2022

“Ideal location to tour the island with the accommodation as described which is comfortable whilst retaining the original integrity of the cottage.”

Only suggestion would be the addition of a small microwave oven plus if planning permission would allow adapt the side rear garden to introduce a car parking space.

- Tony, September 2022
Philipa September 2022

“A perfect cottage, just as described.”

Very friendly welcome and excellent and tasteful household equipment. Very happy here.

- Philipa, September 2022
Stuart August 2022

“Description said tv and no pets; however no tv and pets had been in property - issue was different description on hotels.”

Com. Parking is awful and dangerous, park tight into side of property on road, where tractors can just about squeeze past

- Stuart, August 2022
Peter July 2022

“Had a fantastic holiday with autistic son who loved the peace & quiet of this cottage .”

Enclosed garden was perfect and all the facilities were great .Parking not an issue .Will definitely be back

Wanda July 2022

“A beautiful, tranquil space, exceeding our expectations.”

Really well equipped and a perfect base to unwind and explore the island. We would love to visit again and will recommend to our friends and family.

- Wanda, July 2022
Claudine June 2022

“Fabulous little cottage, great dog secure garden (there's another lawned garden to the side of the property not shown on the pictures).”

Wi-Fi was excellent, can use in the garden with no problems. Very clean and everything well thought out to maximise the space. No issues with parking, we even had our son come visit in his small van. We will definitely book again.

- Claudine, June 2022
Paula May 2022

“Skylight in bedroom could have curtain to keep dark in morning and possibly darker bedroom curtains.”

Our daughter found the single bed uncomfortable. We liked the remote location, in spite of the large farm vehicles. Our dog liked the garden and fortunately did not explore too far in the vegetation that bordered the garden. We enjoyed our holiday.

- Paula, May 2022

Thank you for your comments. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your holiday. Just to note there is a blackout blind attached to the bedroom skylight - details provided in the house. Property Owner

Absolutely fantastic cottage, so cosy and clean with loads of facilities, books, games, help in the welcome book, only one draw back was you couldn't check in till 5pm and had to be out by 9am

- Andrew, April 2022

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Property Owner
Elisabeth March 2022

“Few things to feedback on 1 logs left for us 4 kindling 2 branches from garden !”

! 2 Timing clock on heating not correct kept having to override to keep warm 3 Hot water very poor hardly enough for bath in evening 4 hot tap in bathroom trickles out 5 Wood burner was very poor ,does chimney need sweeping ? 6 only 2 comfort chairs and 3 table chairs to accommodate 4 !!! 7 not a very comfortable week all in all !

- Elisabeth, March 2022

Thank you for taking the time to comment on your recent visit to Ffrwd Cottage and for raising the problem you had with the hot water. We will look into it. So that guests have a comfortable visit to the cottage, we provide plenty of guidance on how to get the best of any stay - including advice on how to light the stove - and who to contact if help is required. As the pictures on the website show, the cottage is simple and small but as you booked for a party of two there would have been sufficient seating. Sorry to hear that you didn't find it comfortable.

Phoebe January 2022

“Ffrwd cottage is very sweet and has lots of character and a lovely garden.”

We stayed for a week in January and the cottage was very cold. I found the lack of comfortable seating a bit difficult after a few days although the beds were very comfortable.

- Phoebe, January 2022
Judith November 2021

“A lovely hideaway cottage, super garden which is safe as fully enclosed.”

Thoughtfully renovated. Parking was as described however the volume and speed of traffic was quite unsettling at times.

- Judith, November 2021
Ruth October 2021

“A fabulous cottage, everything we needed and very warm and cosy.”

We’d love to return!

- Ruth, October 2021
Jeni October 2021

“Ffrwd Cottage is delightful.”

Fabulous quiet rural location. Clean and very well equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. Lovely garden to explore. 10 mins from the lovely Abberfraw beach, I really did not want to leave. Parking no problem at all. Have booked again for next year! Just fabulous!!

- Jeni, October 2021
Sue June 2021

“Ffrwd is a charming, quirky cottage in a very picturesque location.”

It is very clean and well equipped. If you want peace and quiet and don't mind the tractors then this is the perfect base for exploring the island.

- Sue, June 2021
Rebecca May 2021

“We had a fantastic stay here, very well equipped and great location for exploring all what Anglesey has to offer.”

I was originally nervous about parking after reading s few comments about the tight space, but even with our big 4x4 it wasn't an issue at all. Lovely garden to enjoy too.

- Rebecca, May 2021
Jane May 2021

“Ffrwd cottage is wonderful.”

Although compact it has been carefully planned and furnished, and the garden is fabulous. I think there may be problems if there were more than 2 in the party as space is at a premium, but for us it was perfect. There is really is no problem with parking at all. We hadn't visited this part of Anglesey before, and it is stunning - particularly the dunes and beach at Aberffraw.

- Jane, May 2021
Linda May 2021

“We felt under stress from the tractors each day virtually hitting the car as no space to park as stated- with no mention of tractors though-also whilst driving on very narrow lanes.”

The cottage was smaller than it looked on the photos as often happens. The best thing was the open fire which made it cosy when able to work the heating as at first chilly. The house keeper was very kind and helpful once we spoke on the phone. We had check in at 5pm and officially leave at 9am due to extra covid cleaning- so all in all not very relaxing sorry to say. Anglesey is a lovely area though to visit if the weather is on your side, otherwise not much to do at all.

- Linda, May 2021
Bridget October 2020

“Wonderful countryside, very authentic little cottage which we fell in love with.”

We enjoyed the warm bathroom a real plus! They were very clear instructions for getting into the cottage and for car parking etc. It was unavoidably tight but we had a big car and suffered no problems parking. We felt the electric heating without the log fire was rather inadequate for the time of year.

- Bridget, October 2020
Veronica September 2020

“The location was very peaceful and local beaches are lovely only drawback the double bed is too low to get up and off so if elderly you might struggle also chairs a bit uncomfortable in lounge otherwise all fine.”

- Veronica, September 2020
Hannah September 2020

“The cottage was perfect, the owners have given real attention to detail, we had everything we needed and more.”

Even though the house is on the road it’s still very peaceful as only amongst farmland. Would 100% recommend this property for anyone looking for a quiet, relaxed holiday. Many thanks to the owners, we look forward to coming back!

- Hannah, September 2020
Vicky August 2020

“Ffrwd cottage was a lovely little hideaway far from the madding crowd.”

Ok, there were only two comfy chairs, no TV (we didn’t miss it) and no microwave due to small living area. However, there was a lot to enjoy such as the beautiful secluded garden among fields, barbecue outside, the wood burning stove which made it extra cosy and the owner kindly provided some logs (it was summer, but you could have thought otherwise due to the weather). The cottage was also really clean and nicely decorated and the beds very comfortable.

- Vicky, August 2020
Nancy August 2020

“Such a cute cottage, and so well put together.”

The small kitchen was very cleverly done with everything we needed, and the fabrics and furnishings were just perfect for the space. We used one of the deckchairs with a woolen throw over it, to create an extra chair, but our family of four always felt comfortable when relaxing in the cottage. It did rain a lot during our stay and I feel such an old cottage may have battled with damp weather, but it didn't affect our comfort. (The only down side was probably the wifi which was better than ours at home and we had remind our 11 son to talk to us every so often!) Some people had commented on the on road parking, but we had a VW transporter van which we always managed to tuck right into the wall, and never had any issues from the busy farmers and their large vehicles passing by. The cottage is beautifully presented adequately equipped and a very relaxing place to have as your Anglesey base. The nearest beaches are brilliant for children who like sand, and further round the coast there are plenty more to explore and enjoy.

- Nancy, August 2020
Claire August 2020

“Lovely cottage and well equipped.”

The garden games were great for the children and we’ve discovered a new love of Kubb. Great to have a washing machine ( but more than 10 pegs would be good!) with 2 children and endless beach days.

- Claire, August 2020
Amanda December 2019

“Second time at the cottage and we will certainly be back!”

The owners went out of their way to make sure they could accommodate our booking, really friendly and extremely helpful! And the cottage itself is gorgeous, really cosy and clean, with a kitchen that has everything you can think of. Perfect base for exploring Anglesey, and idyllic for cosy nights in front of the fire. Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

- Amanda, December 2019
Stephen November 2019

“This cottage was absolutely fantastic.”

10/10 from me. It’s been mentioned elsewhere but just to reiterate, you do need to park responsibly and large vehicles may pose an issue at particular times of year as there are farm vehicles passing regularly.

- Stephen, November 2019
Mary October 2019

“Really lovely decor, garden, and perfect setting.”

The silence was just what we needed. I took my two teenage children and cos there was no TV we talked, played games and read together. They would tell you that they would definitely go back. Thank you.

- Mary, October 2019
Elizabeth October 2019

“This is an enchanting cottage in a beautiful rural setting.”

We found it to be a sweet little cottage tastefully decorated and furnished and wanting for nothing facilities wise.

- Elizabeth, October 2019
Amanda September 2019

“We have just come back from a wonderful weeklong break at Ffrwd Cottage, and we will certainly be back!”

Beautiful location, fab enclosed garden for canine friends, gorgeous cottage that has clearly been renovated to a high standard (the kitchen was amazing!), comfortable beds, and cosy woodburning stove. Perfect spot for exploring Anglesey. And a note on parking – this was NO problem whatsoever! We had already looked on street-view prior to our arrival so we knew what to expect, but other than reversing to and fro for a short time to get as close to the cottage as possible, pushing in wing mirrors, we had no issues. We even had our smallish Toyota Yaris as well as a large Toyota RAV SUV parked up outside at the same time, with tractors going past with ease (and sometimes surprisingly fast!). Please don't let the parking reviews put you off coming here, it's beautiful. Thank you so much to the owners for our wonderful stay :D

- Amanda, September 2019
Derek September 2019

“Very nice clean cottage and garden.”

Only criticism is the car parking. The description says room for parking a car, although we questioned this with you after looking on Google earth we found the only space available was less than the width of our small Jazz car ! Fortunately we took traffic cones with us to place front and back of the vehicle together with the cottage rubbish bins . We were assured that this had never posed a problem as road was not busy however most days huge tractors pulling farm equipment had to slow down and rush hours many cars rushed by despite the cottage being located near a bend on the road. We think it would have been more honest to reveal this especially if customers have even slightly larger cars which we feel would be quite vulnerable to damage. Surprised owners have not made a simple parking run in into the side garden where there is already a shed. A microwave would also be handy as supplied with most other lets. Otherwise, it was a lovely cottage.

- Derek, September 2019
Catherine July 2019

“It was bliss to be without a TV for a week.”

We loved this little cottage and our dog loved the garden, but we did wonder how guests with a larger car would manage to park safely. There is a good selection of reading material too.

- Catherine, July 2019
Andrew June 2019

“We enjoyed it very much, but that was because there were only two of us.”

Two adults and two children would be okay, but I wouldn’t recommend it to four adults to share, that’s why I lowered the ‘accuracy of the listing’ score. Otherwise, for the two of us, it was great.

- Andrew, June 2019
Beryl June 2019

“Parking at this property is a problem as the photograph and information given leads one to believe that a proper parking space was available.”

In fact, the photograph is of the back of the cottage and parking available is on a VERY narrow lane at the front. There is a large gap above the window in the twin bedded room and a consequent cold draught. The two 'armchairs' provided are totally inadequate and uncomfortable after a while. There needs to be at least two comfortable chairs in the living area not two old, small, cane ones as currently provided.

- Beryl, June 2019

Thank you for taking the time to let us know your feedback. We apologise if there was some confusion regarding the parking. We do state that it is on-street at the front of the cottage and whilst we appreciate the lane is narrow, the infrequent farm traffic on the lane is very used to cars being parked here, and to date we have not encountered any problems. This is a very old cottage, which we have furnished simply to reflect its character, age and space and we hope that this is clearly represented in the photos. We will of course take your comments on board. Property Owner
Lorraine Haskins Aug 2018

“This is a gorgeous cottage.”

Loved the location, very out of the way. The kitchen was very well equipped, which was nice as we love cooking. It was clean and comfortable. The only thing we would change would be to have a couple of more comfy easy chairs!

- Lorraine Haskins, Aug 2018
Richard Roberts Jul 2018

“Excellent for its quiet location and simple traditional style.”

Would recommend to friends/family. Only negative - the 'parking bay' was a little on the small size - would be difficult with larger car, but managed OK.
