“What a beautiful property in a gorgeous location.”

The house was comfortable, spotless, tastefully furnished and had anything you would ever need. Great base for scouting around Anglesey and North Wales, with loads of attractions and landscapes on the doorstep. Basics supplied like salt, pepper vinegar etc Plenty of books and games for those rainy days. May seem like a small thing but I was really impressed by the large good quality towels (I find towels are usually a let down and normally take my own) We had a lovely time, thank you so ...

“A great converted mill suitable for a large family.”

In its own little enclave, with a couple of other houses and right by the river Cadnant. This is a very peaceful place and only a few minutes from amenities in Menai Bridge or Beaumaris. I highly recommend this gem.

Annie October 2024

“We loved the house, it was very comfortable and spacious.”

We had a really good time walking, swimming and generally exploring Menai Bridge & Anglesey. One suggestion would to be for there to be a boot rack and more coat pegs to help with storage of gear. We hope to visit again - thank you Best wishes

Helen September 2023

“House is in a lovely position, right next to the river and surrounded by trees, very quiet and peaceful.”

The interior is really nice, with a well equipped kitchen and comfy bedrooms. We had to call the housekeeper on the second night as the cooker tripped a fuse, she was there within 15 minutes and fixed the issue straight away. The outside has plenty of seating to enjoy and even a secret grotto where we drank hot chocolate in the evening.

- Helen, September 2023
Karen September 2023

“Fabulous property, great location and everything we could have asked for.”

Everyone liked it. It was spacious enough for all of us. Loved the big kitchen. I would look to rebook when we all want to get together again. Not many properties on Anglesey are big enough for 7 adults with comfort. Haven’t used Sykes before but certainly would going forward.

- Karen, September 2023
Graham July 2023

“What an amazing property!”

Plenty of room for all of us, six adults and two grandchildren. We were impressed by the quality of the house contents, furnishings, crockery, cooking equipment, etc. and loved watching the Ducks, Swans and Cygnets come and go with the tide! Menai Bridge is a lovely place too. A couple of minor niggles, the push plug in the ensuite didn't work neither did the electric light in the mirror and the kitchen floor was sticky underfoot from the outset. Maybe the cleaning product? None of the above spoilt our holiday and we would go back to the property again

- Graham, July 2023
Rosa July 2023

“It was an amazing stay !”

the house had everything we could have asked for, but could not for the life of us find the washer and drier so potentially make the directions to that a little clearer :) thank you so much for the holiday overall it was lovely

- Rosa, July 2023

We are so pleased you all had a great holiday. The washer and drier is on ground floor next to log store/boat store. There is a padlock on the door to unlock. Property Owner

Claire April 2023

“We had an incredible holiday experience here at Melin y Coed.”

The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area we are big fans of angelsey and enjoyed every second. The house was a generous size and our little boy very much enjoyed the large downstairs space for all his games and running around. Everyone in the family agreed we would definitely come again.

- Claire, April 2023
Jill January 2023

“Lovely spacious house in a beautiful setting.”

Very well equipped kitchen which was important to us as we like to cook! It was a very easy house to stay in for a family birthday and would thoroughly recommend it to others.

Rhiannon December 2022

“Beautiful home and great to be able to meet up with family.”

Wonderfully comfortable and views to remember for ever! My only difficulty - and it's a very personal one- being disabled I found the lack of fixed bannister with only a rope and wobly bottom post upsetting for me all weekend as I required help each time I needed to access the bathroom upstairs ! - I wish this was highlighted in the description so nobody else has a shock on arrival!

- Rhiannon, December 2022

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we are pleased that you liked the rest of the property. Property Owner

Karen July 2022

“Melin y Coed is a great place and well positioned.”

It has a very homely feel to it and the house keeping is excellent. The red squirrels, heron and many ducks added to the enjoyment.

- Karen, July 2022
Claire May 2022

“Wonderful house, so perfectly situated.”

We had a fabulous week away in an idyllic spot. When all you can hear is trickling water, pipping ducklings and squawking jays as you sit in the little suntrap of a terrace eating breakfast, I'd say life was pretty good.

- Claire, May 2022

We are so pleased you all had a great holiday. Property Owner
Adrienne May 2022

“Melin-y-Coed is a lovely property within walking distance of Menai Bridge, with a very well equipped kitchen and comfortable living space.”

Great outdoor deck space too - although the weather meant we didn’t make a lot of use of it - and lots of bird life for the children to watch along the creek. We were lucky to be able to book it for a short mid-week trip at rather short notice and we would certainly aim to return for a longer stay.

- Adrienne, May 2022

David September 2021

“We had a great time at Melin y Coed what a great property.”

Large rooms with great furniture and facilities and in the perfect location beside the River Cadnant. A perfect jump-off point also to see the rest of Anglesey. Very comfortable accommodation with a huge extremely well-equipped kitchen a large living room with a flat-screen TV with loads of games and books to entertain yourself. Loads of outside space overlooking the river with tables and chairs and a BBQ to boot, What more could you want. Like I said what a great time we had!!.

“We’d visited this house many times when managed by Menai Holidays, so we knew what we were getting.”

It didn’t disappoint as expected.

Shane August 2019

“The cottage was beautifully appointed and in a superb location.”

The owners had clearly put a great deal of thought into providing excellent accomodation and with a pleasant welcoming gift!

Joan June 2019

“We chose Melin y Coed for a special anniversary, we loved everything about it and even though the weather could have been kinder we managed to sit outside and enjoy the wonderful peaceful surroundings, the wildlife was a joy to watch, 5 baby cygnets, two Mallard families with 8 and 11 chicks respectively, we just watched them grow over the holiday and the sound of the river was just so relaxing.”

Lovely, comfortable home with everything you could need, spotless bedding and towels although we did find 13.5 tog duvets far too warm for June but that's our personal opinion and we just took them out. After staying at Melin y Coed would anywhere else match it?, we would love to return and thank you so much to the owners for having us! Apart from the holiday I would like to say a big thank you to all the girls I have dealt with from Menai in Brynsiencyn who have been so helpful over the past two years, wonderful customer service.

Mavis Russell Jul 2018

“Very comfortable, amazed that we had Netflix, not that we really needed it as the weather was excellent Could use a downstairs loo (under the stairs?”

)to minimise wear and tear on the carpets Uncertain about the crack in the tiles all the way across the kitchen floor but presume as the decking has been removed and been replaced with breeze blocks that it has been reinforced Enjoyed seeing the ducks and swan every time the tide came in Good stove with excellent griddle Beds very comfortable
