“The cottage was beautiful if a little remote.”

Only concern was that our car ( standard Ford Focus ) kept bottoming out every time we came into or out of the lane by the bins. There is quite a drop off the road onto the lane. The hot tub was amazing!!

“We had such a fabulous Easter here.”

The property is situated in the most stunning and unspoilt area with knock out views. The house was very well equipped and cosy. The owner is also close by to help with anything. The upstairs lounge made a great place for the kids to takeover away from the adults :-) The hottub is huge and acted like a swimming pool for the little ones. We would love to come back here ASAP.

- Sian, April 2022

Thankyou for such a nice comment. Kind regards Tracy Property Owner

“A really lovely home in a beautiful location.”

We had a fantastic stay. The teens loved the hot tub, and we all enjoyed beautiful coastal walks direct from the front door.

Rhianedd April 2022

“Fantastic property Fantastic location.”

Really enjoyed the place just perfect for the whole family from 7 months to 84. The only issue we had was getting the dishwasher to work. Sometimes it would sometimes it wouldn't

Carolyn March 2022

“We have just enjoyed a fabulous weekend at Hen Gilfach.”

Everyone left feeling very chilled and relaxed which was certainly helped by the comfort offered by the house. Amenities were excellent- we wanted for nothing. The hot tub was a delight. Combine all this with the amazing views and superb company we couldn't have asked for more. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful responding quickly to our one query........ All in all a perfect weekend shared by a group of female friends celebrating all the things we have been unable to celebrate these last couple of years. There will certainly be return visits!!

“What a super cottage!”

We’d stayed at Hen Gilfach 10 years ago and loved it so much we decided to return. The addition of the en-suite to the downstairs King size bedroom and the 10 seater hot tub were massive plus points! We go away every year as a group of friends and this was the best hot tub we’ve had in over 10 years. Cottage was exceptionally clean, everything that we needed (there’s even a blender and 3 tier steamer in the kitchen!) All beds were comfy. Cottage even has a selection of board games, books and DVDs. The only very minor thing is that there’s only an under the counter fridge and a table top one - not really enough room if it’s all adults staying and there’s Prosecco & lager to chill ;-). But this is very very minor and didn’t detract from a great weekend away. Thanks for such a great place!

“Wonderful property in a tranquil location.”

Family of eight stayed at this cottage from toddlers to grandparents and had a great holiday. Facilities and the layout are perfect for two family's with ground floor having a shower room servicing the two ground floor bedrooms of which one also has an en-suite. The first floor has an extremely large family bathroom which services the remaining three first floor bedrooms. Also this property has a brilliant outdoor space for the children to play with slide, swing and hob tub to keep them occupied. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

- Darren, August 2021
Graeme August 2021

“The house was great,gardens are good and the hot tub has great views.”

It is in a rather remote location,15-20 minutes from a main road.The directions from the owner are spot on and you need to follow them to the letter,a lot of the roads are single track so you need to look out for vehicles coming towards you. Overall a great stay..

- Graeme, August 2021
Ann May 2021

“A wonderful experience.”

Iqbal September 2020

“I love the fact that they were able to accommodate us in the very last minute.”

The place is beautiful with amazing views and there were lots of board games and a massive collection of DVDs. I personally really appreciated the coffee, because we forgot to bring our own! And also the bottle of wine! Loved it!

Eurgain August 2020

“We had a lovely time at the cottage and there were so much things to entertain the kids - the outside play area, the doll's house and the hot tub of course.”

We were disappointed that the previous guest had damaged the hot tub, but we could still sit in it as it was still warm and relaxing. We were given compensation for this. The location was lovely and the views were amazing. We thought that the cottage however had not been cleaned to the best of standard (given that cleanliness is so important now with threat of covid 19). There were drinks leftover in the fridge, and the bbq had not been cleaned. Having said this, we would return and we had a lovely holiday.

- Eurgain, August 2020
Paul August 2020

“Great place and lovely location.”

The facilities were of a high quality, would be nice to have an intergreated fridge freezer and an dryer. But that just a personal view as property was very well equipped and owner Tracey was lovely and on hand if needed

- Paul, August 2020
Lisa August 2020

“A little slice of heaven!”

The house was absolutely beautiful, the views simply stunning, the hot tub huge! Everything we could possibly have needed was supplied, including wine and chocolates on arrival! We will definitely be returning!

Anna July 2020

“The cottage was amazing, the view and hot tub were perfect and inside the cottage was so spacious and even better than the pictures.”

The cottage was really well equipped - much more so than any others I have stayed at and the host was really friendly and welcoming. Would really recommend this to anyone, we’ll definitely be back I’m sure!

- Anna, July 2020
Terry July 2020

“Everything was just as portrayed online with the added bonus of toys and dollhouses for the children.”

Nothing had been overlooked and every eventuality had been catered for. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole house was beautifully decorated and maintained. The hot tub was amazing and checked daily by the owner to ensure it was working properly and was santised correctly. Nothing was too much trouble for the attentive owners. We received a lovely welcome pack of wine and chocolates, a card and fresh flowers from the garden. We were a group of 10 (6 adults and 4 small children) it was our first holiday since before lockdown and was definitely just what the Dr ordered! We are already talking about a return trip to this beautiful holiday home!! Thoroughly recommend!!

- Terry, July 2020
Sophie September 2019

“Could not recommend this place enough!”

10 adults comfortably stayed here and we had 5 cars which fit perfect! The hot tub is amazing with the most beautiful views! Very clean and welcoming, towels for shower and hot tub available! Only down side was the road access! we did have 5 lowered cars but didn’t ruin our holiday at all because it was just stunning!! Thank you for making our three day stay great!

Michelle September 2019

“Had a fab time in the beautiful cottage.”

Hot tub was amazing. Only recommendation would be that the check.inn time be changed to 2 pm and check out time changed to 12pm as 4pm check in is to late and 10am check out on a sunday way to early

- Michelle, September 2019
Mary August 2019

“We loved the location and the fantastic open views from the hot tub.”

Plenty of space outside for the kids to run about. Also, the accommodation was spacious and well laid out. Very comfortable.

Danielle July 2019

“We have just returned from the most amazing family holiday at Hen Gilfach!”

The place completely exceeded all expectations. Amenities were amazing, the place was spotless and the hot tub was just the icing on the cake. The children loved all of the toys, books and DVDs! And Church Bay is just glorious! Views to die for. We ate already looking at booking again! I can not recommend this place enough! It was just out of this world!

- Danielle, July 2019
Susan July 2019

“The cottage was decorated to a very high standard, fixtures and fittings were beautiful.”

They had everything you required and my guests thoroughly enjoyed staying there. A few downsides. The smell outside was constant for the whole of our stay (don't know if it was the septic tank). The bottom step (flagstone) into the cottage needs fixing/concreting into place, as my elderly aunt nearly had a fall, as it wobbled. The quilts (although beautiful) were too warm and could possibly be changed for lighter ones in summer months.

- Susan, July 2019
Christine June 2019

“My family and I had a great time at Hen Gilfach at the end of June this year.”

This lovely house was the perfect fit for our family get together, with ages ranging from 6 months to 94 years. Fortunately the weather was mostly dry and sunny, but had it not been Tracy had supplied plenty of books, DVDs and board games to entertain us. The play area outside and the bedroom with a dolls house and toys were loved by my granddaughter and last but not least, the hot tub was amazing and had gorgeous views of the countryside and sea beyond. We were sad to leave!

- Christine, June 2019
Gill June 2019

“Brilliant! New hot tub amazing.”

Anne Stanley Nov 2018

“Wonderful property with excellent facilities.”

It was secluded and the perfect setting for a week away. We were able to explore beautiful Anglesey and return home for relaxing evenings the hot tub was a bonus! We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning again soon.

“All you could want lovely and clean place to stay, down a quiet lane with a fantastic view from the hot tub.”

“Would be 5 but for the very bumpy track to the apartment and the fact that it is advertised as a peaceful location which it is until families in the 5 bedrooms barn located close by enjoy their holiday.”

We couldn't relax outside as we felt we were overlooking them whilst admiring the views and the noise of children playing broke the peace. Feel that this needs to be made clearer, as lovely as the Stable is we would not of booked.

“Attractive photos presented by Menai Holiday unfortunately the reality was different.”

The downstairs two bedrooms had a damp fungus smell. One of the bedroom was particularly very bad as the mould was all over the window, with black dirt, dust and cobweb so our little one had to move upstairs due to her asthma. There is a serious luck of lighting in the downstairs shower room. Again mould all behind the sink, shower cubical, tiles which clearly is not being dealt with. I could provide photos but I do not want to completely put people off. I sincerely hope it will be dealt with as Menai Holiday and the owner have been informed. Kitchen again very bad lighting and flickering little ceiling light. So cooking during a date is fine but if you come to the cottage later on you seriously find it difficult. The dirt track which leads to a house was particularly bad! We have been to many places all over the Wales and Anglesey but that was something one off. (we have 4x4) the view is lovely if you have the weather to sit outside but it does not have a lovely maintain feel around the property. Our children were looking forward to using the outdoor play area which was not there( no one informed us about it) There will be a new one being build. For £1200 per week we certainly did not feel it was worth of money. We believe you get what you pay but that's was not the case. From our view we would not go back and not recommend it to our friends even thought we still had a great time as we try to blank it all.

“We had a lovely time and the house was a good size and set-up for us (four couples each with a baby/toddler).”

The only issues we wanted to pick up on were that the septic tank outside is located right next to the (lovely) children's play area and it was rather smelly at times. The other issue we had was that with 8 adults there was only one shower (in the downstairs bathroom). There was plenty of space to install one in the main bathroom upstairs which we would highly recommend. I appreciate there's a shower head on the bath upstairs but it's not the most practical for an adult. Great for kids though. These were the only downsides to a lovely stay. The house is very well equipped, the hot tub was lovely and warm, extremely clean and had a wonderful view of the sunsets in the evenings. Great location near to some of the most beautiful beaches. We'd highly recommend the Wavecrest Cafe and Lobster Pot as well as the Oyster Catcher. Thanks for a lovely week away.

The property

In spring and summer, the quiet lanes in this beautiful corner of north west Anglesey are a mass of wild flowers, and as you turn the corner of the drive to Hen Gilfach you'll see the ocean in front of you.

This is your first glimpse of the view from this fantastic holiday house! "A great spot for meeting up with friends or family - a really nice spacious house with hot tub and the views are so good we doubt you will want to go far!" Hen Gilfach, a barn conversion with a careful mix of old and new, is such an interesting cottage to stay in.

Pretty windows, rough-coated walls, wonderfully comfy beds, contemporary furniture - and look for the collection of keys!

You could want for nothing more, except good friends or family to share it with. The views are breathtaking, and we doubt you will want to go far from the cottage!

There's a Blue Flag beach just around the corner at Church Bay, as well as two good places to eat.

The Anglesey Coastal Path is nearby, and many of Anglesey's best attractions are within easy reach. If you like to holiday with friends and family and still enjoy the privacy of your own cottage you may like to look at nearby Hen Gilfach Stable.
