“The view from the letting was outstanding and the area was pretty and accessible for a lot of activities in Snowdonia/Anglesey area.”
Mr Haigh August 2019

“The property is in desperate need of a makeover.”

It felt as if we couldn't touch anything without it breaking. The bed linen was very poor, it didn't fit the bed ending up in a knot in the centre of the bed. There was only half a toilet roll. (We bought more). The balcony furniture included a very rusty table. The view from the balcony is fabulous but in my view that's all it's got. We booked for a week and left two days early. Disappointed and would not recommend this property.

Thank you for your comments, feedback is always welcome and helpful in maintaining and improving standards. The house was redecorated in March this year (hall, stairs and landing as well as the living area, kitchen and dining upstairs- a lovely blue feature wall and white elsewhere to match the seaside feel). New couches last year, new table on the balcony (we did leave the old one as well, a little ‘shabby chic’ we know) but thought it might be useful as an extra table to place a gin and tonic while enjoying the sunset. The balcony glass was updated last year to ensure the view from the lounge was seamless. The bed linen is standard size and the cleaning / maintenance company we use did confirm to us that they fit the duvets (new this July) and pillows. We are unsure what is to touch that is breakable; there are no fiddly ornaments, the kettle and toaster are solid (and new), the table and chairs are wood and not at all flimsy and bedroom furniture is less than two years old. We are very pleased you enjoyed the million dollar view of the straits, but somewhat surprised with the feedback - photos of the property were taken after the decorating was done in March - so the house is exactly as described.

“Go to Min Y Don 1 to 2 times a year.”

Love the cottage and the view. A very relaxing holiday, you can watch the boats go by and the wading birds at low tide from the balcony. Would recommend the location for easy access to Anglesey and Snowdonia.
Mrs Mathieson July 2019

“Thank you to the owners for their thoughtfulness in providing a very comfortable and well equipped holiday home in a magnificent location which we enjoyed in part, mostly as the good weather allowed us to be outdoors on the sun terrace for some of the time.”

We had looked forward to a complete week of unwinding and relaxation as your listing promised. This would have been possible if the house had been clean and some necessary maintenance carried out. We make the following comments in the hope that the cleaning & maintenance company will provide good service to future tenants. On arrival we found the odour from the bathroom overpowering & disconcerting. We did our best with bleach to clean the filthy drain at the back of the washbasin, shower drain and toilet, which significantly improved the situation, but recommend the bathroom drainage be investigated. The interior windows and mirrors were quite unclean, & interior had not been dusted. Exterior windows of the downstairs bedroom were filthy with green algae round the edges demonstrating they had not been cleaned for some considerable time. I cleaned them to allow my elderly mother who was sleeping in this bedroom to enjoy the view. The oven needs a deep clean - when you use it you get all the greasy smell from previous usage in the lovely open plan living space upstairs. Curtain track on dining room window is falling off the wall - needs re-fixing - and curtain rehanging Twin bedroom curtains need rehanging. With attention to these points the house will be magnificent. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you were disappointed on this occasion . The Owners do have a regular window cleaner in addition to a cleaning and maintenance company, whose contact details are at the property. They will ensure that any issues are checked and remedied so that all guests have a pleasant and enjoyable stay.” Owner relations

“I have had the pleasure of staying at Min-Y-Don on 3 separate occasions.”

The property is the perfect location for us to enjoy golfing and walking holidays, with its close proximity to Snowdonia. We have always found Min-Y-Don to be maintained to the highest standards, it has excellent facilities and is always very clean…. a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The views from Min-Y-Don are spectacular and a must see!! Felinheli provides some excellent places for an evening meal just a short walk from the property… with the Garddfon being a real favourite of ours. Highly recommend a stay!

“A very clean and well equipped town house with superb views across the straits to Anglesey.”

Excellent restaurant in the marina and walking distance to a friendly pub serving very good food. Cycle way close by, parking easy, nice walks. Easy road access to larger towns and Anglesey. Top spot!
