“Lovely holiday home with amazing views.”

Very well equipped. Fabulous hot tub.

Very well equipped. Fabulous hot tub.

- Mrs Brown, 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!

- Mr Mehasi, September 2020
“Fabulous hidden away holiday house.”

Great outdoor space for the children and a lovely hot tub. The children also loved the dolls house’. Very good facilities and decorated to a high standard.

- Dr Skipper, September 2020
“Weather was not good so hot tub was great.”

Especially for the kids

- Mr Boon, 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.

- Mrs Hughes, 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

- Mr Mainwaring, 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!

- Mrs Maunder-wood, August 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!

- Mrs Morrison, 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!!

- Mr Growden, July 2020
“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!

- Miss Edwards, September 2019
“The cottage was fantastic, clean and well equipped.”

hot tub was amazing would definitely recommend

- Mrs Hewitt, 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

- Miss Macaulay, September 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.

- Ms Moss, August 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.

- Ms Gordon, 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!

- Ms Calvert, July 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!

- Mrs Sanai, June 2019
“Brilliant! New hot tub amazing.”

.. Big! Towels for use with hot tub, excellent idea. The interior is beautiful and spacious. Kitchen big and plenty of equipment. Bedrooms fab too. Views amazing. Lovely welcome from owner too. Thanks for a super weekend. See you next year!

- Mrs Marsh, June 2019
“Beautiful cottage, well equipped and fantastic location”

- Dawn Roberts,
“We enjoyed a week at Hen Gilfach to celebrate a special birthday.”

It was a family affair with ages ranging from 2 yrs - 70 yrs. The accommodation was ideal, spacious and clean. Kitchen was well equipped.The garden was great for the children whilst the adults enjoyed the hot tub! Walks nearby and beach not too far, We really had a lovely time. Thank you!

- Sue Smethurst,

“Excellent”

- Sheena,
“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.

- Richard Wormald,
“Fantastic venue, comfortable and romantic accommodation.”

- Sally,
“An excellent property in a superb location.”

The quality of the furnishings and fittings was very good and the cottage was not short of anything we could have needed. The owner was very welcoming and helpful.

- David Lewis,
“Great location very clean had everything you would need in the kitchen.”

Very comfortable and beautifully furnished

“Cottage was great but lane leading to it left a lot to be desired.”

Sports suspension and low profile tyres do not mix well with large potholes.

- Gareth Jones,
“Lovely well equipped nicely furnished cottage in a beautiful setting.”

Great hot tub for the adults and brilliant play area for the kids and all with lovely countryside and sea views.

- Elizabeth Knobbs,
“Stunning views from the hot tub”

- Jemma Bronnert,
“Excellent accommodation!”

!!!!!!!!!

- Sandra Harvey,
“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.

- Pavlina And Peter Gray,
“Lovely location, excellent furnishings and everything you needed for a short break”

- Julie Nuttall,
“Compact and very pleasant Thoroughly enjoyed our stay”

- ,
“Just a perfect location.”

Beautiful Views. Lovely cottage. Our second visit and definitely not our last

- Lisa Mikolajewicz,
“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.

Thank you for your review, it seems you had a more lively group next door than usual but you'll be glad to hear we have now tarmacadamed the driveway. Owner relations
“All you could want lovely and clean place to stay, down a quiet lane with a fantastic view from the hot tub.”

Great for a family get together of all ages.

- Mandy Heath,
“Superbly equipped and very clean.”

The shower was a nice bit of luxury.

- S Brown,
“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.

- Anne Stanley,
“The cottage was amazing, we had a wonderfull time, relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet, great for all our children who are begging to go back, I'm in the process of booking it again for next year.”

I can say it was so good that my brother is hoping to come over from America to stay next year.

- Natasha,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are really happy that you enjoyed your stay at Hen Gilfach, we hope to see you back on Anglesey soon!

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.
