“Had a wonderful visit, the cottage was perfect, everything you could need there, we would love to come back”

- Rachel, October 2023
Dave September 2023

“Wonderful property, very well appointed in a beautiful setting, quiet and central location means all of Anglesey is easily reached.”

Special mention to Ceri the owner, lovely gentleman.

- Dave, September 2023
Andrew August 2023

“Great place, lovely host and great location with epic sunset views.”

Fflei the Collie was a great playmate for our Lab. Lovely clean and well maintained place with a great open plan layout, tonnes of storage and everything you could ever need. Fantastic base for family beach adventures. The only negative we had was the directions from Sykes which said to “turn left at the track immediately after the bungalow”……which is blatantly a huge two storey farm house with a massive conservatory. Despite explaining to the lady on the phone at Sykes that there wasn’t a bungalow on that road, she persisted in running through the directions. Please update so others can avoid the frustration.

Nicola August 2023

“The property was exactly what we wanted for our first visit to Anglesey.”

Everything was thoughtfully put together making it a really comfortable and easy place for the four of us to stay. The location and views were fabulous and so quiet. It gave us the perfect base to explore the island and get some much needed rest and relaxation. We would love to book again in the future.

Anthony July 2023

“What a lovely place and area this is.”

Our first visit to the island. We like our peace and quiet and how well this fitted the bill. The accommodation was ideal, comfortable, well equipped. Owner, Ceri, has made a great job of providing a lovely experience which will be difficult to top as and when we return to Anglesey. Definitely recommend and if you read this Ceri the potatoes were beautiful and reminded us of how they used to taste when we were kids. Diolch Ceri

“A wonderful little cottage, everything you need for a week or two away.”

Fantastic views in a peaceful setting. The owner Cari is a very amiable well travelled chap a pleasure to chat to, accompanied by his working dog flea, who was very friendly with our little Dog. The litmus test for any holiday rental is would you go back, we along with many others who commented in the visitors book would definitely return.

Joyce May 2023

“As a family of 4 we had a wonderful stay at Plas y Brain.”

The cottage was gorgeous, clean and with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. The views are fabulous and sitting watching the sunset on the patio was just the tonic this busy family needed. There are great walks and beaches within a 10-20 minute drive and we loved the Black Lion for food. Thank you!

- Joyce, May 2023
Di May 2023

“We were really impressed on arrival, lovely and clean , everything you could need for a self catering holiday , we met the owner and his working dog once or twice as this holiday let is attached next door , the only thing that could have improved our stay would have been sun loungers for good weather .”

We had a brilliant couple of days of peace and quiet with our dog Nellie , we will be looking to book again soon

Sandra May 2023

“We have had a very relaxing week in this gem of a cottage, it is so spacious and comfortable, very clean and it set in lovely countryside surrounded by rabbits and swallows.”

It was a real pleasure to meet the owner Ceri and his gorgeous best pal Fflei the sheepdog. We would have no problem staying again if on this beautiful island of Anglesey, in fact after my brother came to visit us one day he immediately booked to come later in the year! The coastline is stunning,my favourite place is Llanddwyn island.We loved the Dingle walk through the woods near Llangefni and saw a few Red Squirrels .Moelfe has a beautiful safe cliff top walk and Church bay too.This time of year (May ) you will be amazed at all the spring flowers that cover the rocks in full glory.The Gorse and the Bluebells also give a good display. Parys mountain is fascinating with all its coloured rocks, it used to be a Copper mine but you can wander around on the foot paths. There is so much to discover still but it’s an easy place to drive around. Enjoy!

“We had the most wonderful time staying at Plas Y Brain, the location is stunning with sweeping views of countryside, sea and even Skerries lighthouse in the distance at night.”

Upon arrival we were delighted with the accommodation, extremely comfortable with everything you could need for a relaxing break. The owner Ceri was really helpful and made us feel welcome. We would have no hesitation recommending Plas Y Brain as a place to relax and recharge it really was that amazing, we didn’t want to leave! Many thanks

Julie June 2022

“What a gem of a holiday home, it has everything you need to make your holiday extra special.”

It’s ideally located for some fabulous beaches (Newborough, Church Bay, Trearddur Bay, Rhoscolyn) to name but a few. We loved the coastal and forest walks and the weather was superb for June. We can’t wait to return!

- Julie, June 2022

Andrew May 2022

“We had a wonderful long weekend in this beautifully positioned cottage.”

Wonderful views, easily accessible and Ceri was very welcoming without being intrusive: an excellent experience.

- Andrew, May 2022
Sandra May 2022

“We have recently had a lovely holiday staying at this cottage.”

It is warm and welcoming and has been tastefully furnished with everything you would need for your stay. The views from the lounge and the patio, towards the sea, are stunning whatever the weather, and in the evening you can see the light from the Skerries lighthouse. Although situated down a country lane and very peaceful, it is close to the A5025 which gives easy access to Cemaes and the beautiful coves and beaches nearby. The owner, Ceri, who lives in the farmhouse is very friendly and helpful, aided by his lovely collie Fflei. We can highly recommend and would love to return.

- Sandra, May 2022

- Helen, May 2022
Jenny April 2022

“Thanks for a lovely short stay just what we needed, nice that the cottage was clean and tidy.”

- Jenny, April 2022
Marie April 2022

“This was our third visit to Plas y Brain.”

We love how peaceful it is and the views are gorgeous - the photos of the property really don't do it justice. The cottage is comfortable, has everything you need for a relaxing holiday and is conveniently located for Cames Bay and exploring the island. Our teenage son also appreciated that there was lots of outside space for football!

- Marie, April 2022
Derick September 2021

“It was a very open plan, light & airy property.”

The views were great, especially at night watching the 'Skerrys' lighthouse. Always peaceful and quiet, with the beautifully paved outside area complete with a picnic table.

- Derick, September 2021

Ben August 2020

“Lovely views, peaceful as advertised.”

Ceri a great host. WiFi issues but Ceri doing everything he can to sort it. For those who eat in every now and again the oven needs a jolly good clean.

- Ben, August 2020
John July 2020

“Plas y Brain Uchaf is a fantastic cottage.”

The setting is ideal for a relaxing, tranquil and peaceful break. Cottage is spotlessly clean and comfortable. Location is ideal for exploring Anglesey and visiting the beautiful beaches around the coastline. I would highly recommend staying at this fabulous cottage.

- John, July 2020
Dominic July 2020

“Great base for getting out and about exploring the different beaches of Anglesey.”

The property is in a peaceful farm setting with great views, and inside it has everything you need to feel comfortable. If we were to return to Anglesey we would definitely like to stay here again!

“Lovely cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

Rural but near several excellent beaches. The cottage is spotlessly clean and very comfortable.Ceri the owner is a delightful gentleman, very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely return to this cottage. We have been visiting Anglesey for many years and can say in all honesty this was one of our best holidays.

- Linda, September 2019
Shirley August 2019

“A beautiful, cosy cottage with stunning views to wake up to.”

It was spotlessly clean and well-equipped. We would definitely stay here again.

- Shirley, August 2019
Gillian August 2019

“Absolutely beautiful cottage in a stunning location.”

It was spotlessly clean, comfortable and spacious, we enjoyed every second of our weeks stay. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you could need for your stay. Lovely big porch/utility room to store your wellies, coats and shoes, which housed a washer/drier too which 3 of us and a dog fitted in when we returned soaked from a walk one morning without standing on each others heads! There was a fully stocked cupboard containing every manner of cleaning product which saved us space in the boot (always wonder what to take and what will be supplied) including ironing board, iron and hoover. We were pleasantly surprised to find tea, coffee and milk left for us by the owner which was a lovely touch. Two double bedrooms, one with access to a small patio, while double doors led from the living room to a larger patio with fantastic views of the horizon which included the sea and the light house. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and explored a different beach each day, our favourites were church bay, sandy beach and Lligwy beach. The last two were huge and virtually empty which we loved! The cottage is down a long hidden lane next to a large house, (sykes directions said it was a bungalow and we drove past it at first because we were looking for a bungalow not a house) its location is ideal as you feel remote with only the sounds of birds yet you are only 5 minutes from the main road which takes you all around Anglesey. Watched foxes playing one morning and there was also a large buzzard we watched hunting most evenings. We also walked the coastal path which had absolutely incredible views, a brilliant holiday would love to return and would definitely recommend, 10 out of 10 from us!
