“Loved it. I’m from the area but moved away 20 years ago.”

Came up but family too bit really to stay with other family so booked this place. Great location for Menai Bridge and it’s bars and restaurants (I recommend Toms Hamburgers very much. Gourmet Hamburgers in a restaurant setting with amazing music and drinks - only a five minute walk away). Beaumaris is a ten minute drive. All in all. A great place. Water comes right up to the house. Clean. No TV but loads of board games which we enjoyed and got us together. Would definitely book ...

“Perfect relaxing location.”

Cottage is beautiful with everything you possibly news, even a dogs bed and bowls are provided. Beautiful interior decoration. We loved it that much we extended our stay.

“Although the house was lovely especially upstairs but we got there on a very rainy day and the downstairs which was the bedrooms felt damp and i don't think the hot-tub had been cleaned for our visit, it said the 21st July in the housekeepers book.”
Michael Sutton

“The cottage has wonderful views across the Menai straights to North Wales, which is the redeeming factor.”

The cottage itself smells of damp and chemicals, especially in the double bedroom with on-suite shower room. The place could do with a deep clean (cobwebs and fluff in many places) and a general tidy up. We had to thoroughly clean the high chair provided as it was not clean enough to put a baby into it (e.g. seat was filthy, straps were reddish brown, but brilliant white when we cleaned them). The freezer needs to be replaced as the drawer fronts are broken. The front door sticks making it difficult to use when you are carrying in bags / children. Due to the quality of fixtures and fittings and the problems mentioned above, we did not think it represented good value for money especially when compared to other cottages that we have seen.

“A very nice property with very good facilities.”

An unfortunate musty smell on the ground floor.
“Excellent location and amenities”

“Lovely place to stay, very relaxing, clean and comfortable and in a area close to shops and great pubs but I do think it would be nice to have a tv at the property or even a CD player.”
“Gorgeous cottage on the Menai Strait, beautiful decorated and very homely.”
Toni Whitehead

“Excellent - attention to detail by owners was top drawer.”

Shame there was no outdoor seating in garden to enjoy day long sun - as we had great weather but balcony was lovely in the mornings. (Appreciate that in a shared building/communal gardens that a bench may not be allowed).

“This holiday home was very well placed on the shore of the Menai straights with outstanding views over the mountains.”

It was a very unique property which was more than big enough for 7 people. The upstairs has a lovely kitchen open plan with the living room and this then leads out into a decking area with seating, dining and hot tub area. This was used often!! The dining room has a wonderful view. In fact the whole of the property has lovely views. The property is very well equipped and on arrival there was two lovely cakes and tea. And also a bottle of wine. The bedrooms were sufficient. The first double room was ok but not very big with a family bathroom on its own. The ensuite bedroom was much larger with a lovely shower. My only criticism of the property is that because it is upside down and all the walls and floors are stone it does feel quite chilly downstairs even In The summer with a damp smell so maybe this property hadn't been used for a couple of months? But don't let this put you off as it soon sorts itself out. All in all this property, with its wonderful views was amazing and we shall certainly return.

“Need to keep on top of jobs.”

New patio furniture great. But regular maintenance is required. Eg repairs to plug holes in the main bathroom washes need replacing. Sink not holding water. Regular maintenance program needed. New fridge freezer a vast improvement.

This is an excellent property, very well stocked, a little further away from the beach than some lettings if you have very small children but if not very walkable - the cooker and equipment and white good are of a high standard- recommended

“It would have been 5 stars but for a couple of things, the freezer compartment of the Fridge Freezer needs replacing and the cooker controls were unreadable and required some guesswork.”

However we met the owner and he was aware if the problems. Some of the baking trays also need replacing.
“We loved Moorside.”

The views and peace and quite were just what was needed at a time of complete exhaustion and stress. It was beautifully clean with good facilities and had a nice calm feel about it. Thank you to the housekeeper who allowed us to stay on till later so we could make a seamless transition to our second holiday bungalow.
Daphne Marchington

“Excellent House.”

Lots of space and beds for us. Only fault was no outside chairs. We had some really sunny weather when we wanted to be able to sit outside and relax and read. We saw the Gardiner and asked him if they had been put away in the garage but he told us there were no chairs as all had been broken by previous tenants. This was no help to us and rather irritating.

“The nautically decorated cottage had a lovely calming ambience as soon as you walked through the door!”

The furnishings and decor were shabby chic with classy! The lounge furniture and bed was comfortable and clean. and even though open plan, the cottage was warm and cosy. It's tidal waterside location meant the view from the cottage was ever changing. When the tide was low we enjoyed watching a variety of birds feeding in the estuary. The

“Druidsmoor has a slightly old-fashioned charm, we enjoyed staying there.”
“Cottage lovely, great location.”

Could do with a few more essentials, such as oven gloves, washing up liquid, matches Could be a bit more generous with other items, such as toilet rolls and tea towels Could do with an update! Magazines from 2015 and maps from 2007.
“We Absolutely loved the cottage.”

It was perfect for 7 friends having a catch up weekend, it had everything we needed (except WIFI but we got use to that pretty quickly). The location was just stunning, as was the cottage and loved all the outdoor terraced area
“Really nice and luxurious holiday home with all the necessary features.”

Very friendly and caring owners.
