“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.

Mrs Washbrook 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.

- Mrs Washbrook, November 2021
Mrs Smith October 2021

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

We’d love to return!

- Mrs Smith, October 2021
Miss Sanders 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!!

Mrs Hunter 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.

Mrs Willey 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.

- Mrs Willey, May 2021
Ms Summers 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.

Ms Myers 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.

Mrs Orriss 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.

Mrs Lucas 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.”

- Mrs Lucas, September 2020
Ms Biggerstaff 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!

- Ms Biggerstaff, September 2020
Dr Nithsdale 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.

- Dr Nithsdale, August 2020
Mrs Horton 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.

- Mrs Horton, August 2020
Mrs Smith 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.

- Mrs Smith, August 2020
Mrs Bennett 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!

- Mrs Bennett, December 2019
Mr Churchill 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.

- Mr Churchill, November 2019
Mrs Woolley 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.

- Mrs Woolley, October 2019
Mr Humphreys 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.

- Mr Humphreys, October 2019
Mrs Bennett 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

- Mrs Bennett, September 2019
Mr Marchant 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.

- Mr Marchant, September 2019
Mrs Gray 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.

- Mrs Gray, July 2019
Mr Naylor 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.

- Mr Naylor, June 2019
Mrs Prior 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.

- Mrs Prior, 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

“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.
