“Fantastic views.”

Not much point listing these because its apparently going up for sale. The beds and settee’s are extremely low and not suitable for elderly guests. The toilet seat is loose, and according to the visitors book was last year ! The slabbed area at the front is where’s there a blame there’s a claim waiting to happen, multiple loose slab’s around the edge. Extremely hot in both conservatories due to a lack of blind’s. The drive up there is probably worse than described, but with some ...

“Having used this property several times we expected it to be clean and covid safe, how wrong can you be, 1 , animal hair all over the carpets, obviously not been hoovered.”

2, toilet not cleaned properly and seat not secured. 3, coffee tables still had debris and sticky stains from previous quests. 4, the three piece suite in the lounge hadn't been cleaned, cushions looked like someone had just got up from being sprawled out on them. 5, toaster had bread crumbs all over the top and inside. 6, the garden area had not been touched for weeks. All in all not a good experience, can only assume the cleaners don't give a toss, because they will be out of job in October when the property will be sold.

“The bedlinen and room space in the 2 main bedrooms definitely smelled musty”

Mr Beresford September 2020

“In general the cottage was nice in a beautiful setting.”

Very relaxing and quite,just what we wanted. However the overall cleanliness wasn’t up to standard especially in the current climate. The rooms had not been hovered properly dog hairs on carpet. Cooker hood very dusty, dirty tea towels left in the washing machine. Now that property’s are empty from 9.00 am. To 5.00 pm. Everywhere should be spotless. It also might be an idea to have a house sign at bottom of drive as it is quite tucked away. But overall a loverly relaxing holiday. Thanks

Mrs Holden September 2020

“We had an amazing stay at Heatherbank, the views out to sea were fantastic, the cottage was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed.”

We will definitely return here, but unfortunately it’s already booked up for most of next year!

- Mrs Holden, September 2020
Mrs Makinson September 2020

“The beautiful views, the peace and quiet and the space both inside and outside the property.”

A fantastic place for a base and being able to chill out and escape.

Mrs Hazlehurst August 2020

“Beautiful cottage in a fantastic location, the views are just amazing.”

We were lucky to have great weather and the highlights were spotting the seals in the bay (a short walk from the cottage towards the brickworks) and watching the beautiful sunsets from the garden. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here!

- Mrs Hazlehurst, August 2020
Mr Jones August 2020

“The extra two hours cleaning time?”

! What is the point. We expect a spotless house for that, and it was just normal level of cleanliness. Absolutely fine, but don’t see why check in was delayed to 5pm, and check out brought forward to 9am.

- Mr Jones, August 2020
Mrs Holton February 2020

“Delightful property with amazing views.”

Comfortable beds and seating. I felt every effort had been made to address any negative comments from visitors. The road is a farm track and just needs to be driven with care. We had a wonderful week and would be very happy to go back.

- Mrs Holton, February 2020
Mrs Farrimond February 2020

“We had a wonderful week at Heatherbank.”

Stunning views and a very welcoming house. Garden could do with some tlc but as it was cold didn’t spend much time out there so it didn’t matter. Beds were extremely comfy, great WiFi. Definitely on the must visit again list.

- Mrs Farrimond, February 2020
Mrs Hough February 2020

“Well equipped cottage in a great location.”

It was like home from home. Really don’t know what the fuss is about with regards to the track leading to the cottage, not too bad at all. The views were incredible, you could see the sea from nearly every window, and a fully enclosed garden to the rear of the property made it safe for dogs. We’ll definitely return.

- Mrs Hough, February 2020
Mr Nurden January 2020

“Lovely comfortable cottage with fantastic views, but let down by a lack of basic essentials.”

.......like no toilet roll, no spare bin bags, two lights in lounge not working. Would also benefit from an additional heater in the kitchen. Having said that we are likely to return and look forward to seeing continuous improvements.

- Mr Nurden, January 2020
Mrs Larkin December 2019

“The track from the main road was far worse than described , pot holes were deep and difficult to drive around.”

We left 2 days early.

Mrs Ricketts October 2019

““Absolutely beautiful house in a lovely quiet location.”

” Perfect place to relax and unwind and yet an easy drive to everywhere on the island thanks to great road connections through the countryside. House is very well equipped throughout, decor and furniture great and the whole house was immaculately presented, very clean and homely with finishing touches - particularly all the lovely pictures and ornaments throughout. Kitchen had everything you need with good range of utensils, pans, etc., we cooked most nights and never had a problem (I brought my own casserole pot though for our favourite chicken hotpot!) Good modern wood burner in lounge fabulous and so toasty in the evenings, smart TV and wifi worked great. Bedrooms also comfy with plenty of pillows & throws for extra comfort, plus towels (bring slippers though, chilly floors in the morning!) The garden was fantastic - a great space for our little dog to run around and watch the neighbouring horses and sheep, plus 4 different seating areas to enjoy the fabulous views in every direction and also great for BBQ and wine, watching the sunset. Can I also say we saw the bad review in September, IGNORE IT, they must have been "Four in a Bed" picky!, the house takes dogs and you'll never get rid of all the hairs! It was a lot cleaner and hairless than we expected! (Great work by caretaker Steve, who was very helpful when we had a minor problem). Plus you can't expect the owners to provide consumables like soap, loo roll & matches! You bring your own, it's not an all inclusive!! Do not hesitate to book this house if you love peace and quiet and jaw-dropping views, we will certainly return.

Mr Lacy October 2019

“A lovely, clean, well furnished homely cottage in a fabulous cliff top position with superb views.”

Nice to find many basics provided including milk, tea, coffee and welsh cake on arrival. We did have some difficulty finding the driveway to the cottage and the long unmade track could be unsuitable for some cars but worth the bumpy daily journey.

- Mr Lacy, October 2019
Mrs Sawyer October 2019

“We absolutely loved our 3 day break at Heatherbank.”

What a wonderful little house in an amazing position. We instantly felt at home and we couldn’t have asked for more. Yes the track was rough but we expected that and took extra care. The owners even apologised for it in the info pack. This is our third short break with Menai Holidays and we’ve never been disappointed. We would definitely recommend going to Heatherbank and will definitely return in the future.

- Mrs Sawyer, October 2019
Mrs Woodgate September 2019

“We had to hoover the floors when we arrived, as they were dirty, with dog hairs in the hallway.”

No matches to light the wood burner. Only one toilet roll, which ran out, and we had to buy some more, and bleach for the toilet as that ran out also. Only a small amount of washing up liquid in the kitchen, and no dish cloth or scourer. The kitchen sink bowl was grubby. The conservatory was not clean. No lids for the saucepans and overall the kitchen was badly equipped. The welcome folder needs to be placed in the kitchen, so it can be seen on arrival. We did not find it in the conservatory until the next day. It should be mentioned that there is barbed wire in the fenced off area around the cottage, and that there is a steep drop down to the fence. Kitchen table very shabby, it needs a cloth to cover up the marks. Spectacular views!!! Overall all though we would not return, as the cleanliness was not up to my standards.

- Mrs Woodgate, September 2019
Mr Hunt August 2019

“Fantastic! Loved every minute, didn't want to leave.”

Beautiful peace and quiet at Heatherbank yet not too far to go if we wanted a bit of sociality. Shops etc; are a drive away of about 10 minutes and we did go a few times. Would definitely recommend this bungalow.

- Mr Hunt, August 2019
Mr Westwood July 2019

“We had a fantastic stay at Heatherbank what a great place to stay views to die for and every extra you could think of, stayed all over Anglesey but never enjoyed a holiday as much as this one.”

The beds were very comfortable as was the seating, the facilities and amenities were 5 star if your thinking of booking don't think to long as it will taken. All in all a truly great place to stay with plenty of room would not hesitate to book again for next years.

“Excellent property in a extremely sort after location, very spacious and comfortable.”

Mr Rhodes June 2019

“Wow WoW WOW what a view its a million times better than the pictures.”

The people following us were lucky not to find me still sat there I just did not want to leave. We had a second week booked else where in Wales wish we had stayed here for 2 weeks instead. Did I mention WOW.

“Lovely location and nicely furnished.”

We couldn’t have wished for a better spot, with lovely views from all windows. Sea views were spectacular from the conservatory and the bedrooms. However some of the equipment didnt work including the washing machine which had obviously been an issue previously as per the comments in the guest book. It needs replacing. The thermostats on the electric radiators had stops applied so the heating was limited. This would not have been sufficient for a stay in very cold weather. The access road had deep potholes and had to be driven carefully, even in a SUV. It’s a shame as this could be a great cottage for a holiday with a little money spent on the upkeep of equipment that people want when they are on holiday.

Thank you very much for bringing these maintenance items to our attention. The owner will be looking into these immediately. We are so pleased that despite some niggles you had a fantastic stay. Owner relations

“Well appointed with brilliant coastal views.”

The lack of being able to heat the kitchen and standard of the kitchen fixtures let it down a bit. But a good position with comfortable furniture and well enclosed garden for the dogs. The track leading to the cottage was poor and must frustrate the owners, understandably. Sadly a significant fire in the neighbouring barns was very alarming, but no one was injured.

“Set in beautiful surroundings with magnificent views out to sea.”

Cottage clean and comfortable. Would have been nice to have a dishwasher and some form of heating in the kitchen! Having made these comments we would definitely like to return some time.

“Nicely furnished.”

Great views and sunsets. Dead rat smell from air brick under property as you enter- horrible. Floor in main bedroom particularly felt as if it would give way at some point. No evidence of hole for outdoor washing line despite instructions

“A beautifully presented cottage in a stunning location.”

Magnificent views with plenty of wildlife to watch or photograph. We even saw porpoises in the sea several times

“Very welcoming the kitchen is a little under equipped.”

But over all would visit again and would recommend it to anyone.

About the location

BULL BAY

Amlwch 1.5 miles.

Bull Bay, or Porth Llechog in Welsh, which means "sheltered bay", is a picturesque seaside village on the northern coast of the Isle of Anglesey. It is the most northerly village in Wales, and boasts wonderful coastal scenery, with the island of East Mouse lying within the bay, which is rocky, shingly and offers rockpools for shrimping and crabbing. The village has a hotel with restaurant and bar, an excellent golf course, wonderful scenic walks along the renowned Anglesey Coastal Path and exciting fishing and bird watching. 1.5 miles east is the old port of Amlwch, and Parys Mountain, where visitors can enjoy the Copper Mine Trail Walk amidst the old ruins of what was once the world's largest copper mine in the 18th century.
