Ty Mawr

Lovely comfortable lounge, lots of space and great views across the Menai Straits from the house & patio.

Ideally placed to explore both Angelsey and North Wales as Ty Mawr is only a few minutes drive from both the Menai & Britannia Bridges. The only downside was the lane down to the house is narrow with high sides and about 200 meters long so not one for nervous drivers. Other than not being keen on the lane, but that's just my preference, had a great week with sunshine every day!

Well what can I say.

this is the best cottage we have stayed in . And we have stayed in a lot over the years. So clean and everything you could wish for. Bedding was lovely also comfy bed. Dog Charlie enjoyed sitting on the patio in the sun. We will be returning next year. Also views where great. Also good job to the cleaner. As house was immaculate.

Fantastic property, beautifly furnished throughout, breathtaking views from the bedrooms of the estuary and the mountains.

Lovely garden that our 4 legged friend took advantage of. We loved our time at ty mawr and would love to return in the future.

The cottage was pleasant, well equipped and comfortable.

We had a really enjoyable stay there in spite of the hit and miss weather. It was a good base to explore Anglesey, which we did. Access to the house took a bit of getting used to (down a narrow lane) - driving very slowly and carefully helped. Thank you for a lovely time at the house.

The property was in very good quiet location with beautiful view (only from bedrooms).

Very comfortable especially beds bedding and pillows. The shower facilities were good and plenty of running hot water. It was well equipped especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed to cook for family of five. Areas for improvement were; tidying and weeding of main entrance to improve first impression. Also garage/utility area needs good tidy. As previously mentioned kitchen was well equipped but the freezer to one of the fridges needed defrosting (only one of the compartments was usable). Also second fridge is very tired. Finally it might be worth mentioning that the delivery driver from Morrisons couldn’t get his van down to us. Meaning we had to collect our weekly shop from top off road. Non of the issues raised stopped us from having a lovely holiday in a beautiful home.

Really enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely quiet spot, super views and perfectly located to explore Anglesey.

The cushions both upstairs and downstairs where badly stained one even had the seam open and the inner sticking out.

The carpet and one of the beds in the twin room are stained ! it was not very nice. Towels also stained The stairs down to the bottom garden were hard to see due to the very overgrown thorns And one last point It didn't state in the description there are two gates to open to enter the garden as there is a foot path which goes between both gates

Absolutely beautiful home with stunning views loved our stay home from home everything was spot on

We loved the property and particularly the wonderful views over the Menai Straits.

It was initially a difficult property to find as it is tucked away and we arrived in the dark - the access is narrow and difficult in a large vehicle (pick up truck) and it is difficult to park two larger vehicles close to the property. The bulk of the house was well cleaned however the double oven was dirty and needs to be cleaned! Overall we loved our stay and we would definitely return to this property!

Beautiful home with everything you need.

Lovely lighting throughout. Bedding was great. Top garden was secure for our two little dogs to have a sniff around. Parking is as described and worked for us. Other houses around, but not really anything close by. Shops and pubs short drive (5 mins) for us, or a good walk if you prefer (20-30 mins). Christmas trees were beautiful. House is bigger than I thought from photo's. Arrived night before Storm Darragh, but we were well protected and felt safe here. Washing up liquid, teal towels, toilet rolls all provided (good to know as I took this with me). Krupps coffee is Nespresso pods! Compliments to the owners who have a lovely home. Would recommend/stay again.

Gorgeous property which is beautifully decorated and has a very homely feel.

All the rooms are a generous size and the property is well kitted out. The lane is narrow but we found approaching the cottage from the top road was easy and there is turning space next to the house, as well as parking for 3 cars. The garden, setting and view are lovely. We had a wonderful stay and were very sad to leave.

The property was in an excellent location, lovely evolving views, particularly at dawn, beds comfy and very warm c/h.

The lounge chairs were really not suited to sitting, more laying, and while the kitchen had almost everything we needed, only six knives and no fish slice was mildly surprising. It took some time to master turning the lounge TV on each night. We found the accommodation suited us perfectly but the welcome book was occasionally confusing eg bins, where instruction seemed to say bag everything and use a single bins, yet a small divided rubbish system was there as if recycling was our responsibility. Would certainly stay again. Ideal for seeing the island, quiet location, etc

Lovely view from property nicely situated close to everything we wanted.

Beautiful house in a stunning location!

The view from the property is amazing. The house matched the photos in the listing but the garden could do with some TLC. Shrubs need cutting back and grass was a little long but overall it was a lovely place to stay. I was a little worried about the access to the property down a narrow lane but we have an Audi Q5 and it was OK to drive down with care. The house is so well equipped with everything you could think of and was lovely and clean. Linings of the curtains in the double room need sorting and batteries in some of the TV remotes need replacing but they were minor details and didn't affect our holiday. I would definitely return to the property again!

We had a fabulous stay at Ty Mawr, the location is beautiful with fantastic views and whilst secluded its within a short distance to main routes to anywhere on Anglesey.

The house was extremely comfortable, spacious for us (family of 5 with dog) and it had everything you might need in the kitchen, smart TV for those with kiddies and early nights, beds very comfy and a lovely outside space. Access and parking not an issue for us at all. Highly recommend and will return... thanks for a sharing your lovely home

We all had a fantastic stay at Ty Mawr.

Located in a beautiful place overlooking the Menai Straits and a great base for exploring Anglesey and the mainland. A very well equipped house and just like home from home. We had three generations staying there and everyone loved it. We will be returning in the future as so lovely

We had such a fantastic stay in this lovely house.

It is very well stocked with everything you need and the photos are exactly as you find it. The location is great and is well within walking distance to the bars and restaurants on the Menai. Our favorite was The Gazelle Hotel around a 15 minute walk, lovely views and excellent food. I can highly recommend staying at this house, we are already looking at booking another stay.

Great location with beautiful views.

Narrow road towards cottage not suitable for bigger cars but would highly recommend. I will definitely be going back there again

It's a lovely house with stunning views.

Very comfortable. A really well equipped home. Everything we needed. There were a few areas that we feel could be improved. All of the bedroom carpets were quite worn. The duvet cover in double bedroom had faded on the side nearest the window. The upstairs bathroom shower mats were clean but very marked on the surface and definitely need replacing as does the bath mat which is worn. The chandelier fitting at the top of the stairs has come away from the ceiling. There is quite a bit of grout that needs re doing in the bathrooms. We cleaned the fire door in the lounge because it was dirty and smoking. Parking was difficult because we had 2 cars. We tried to park the 2nd car in the garage but there was not enough room with stuff in there and we couldn't shut the garage door. I also think if you had a large 4 x 4 the lane would be inaccessible and this should be highlighted. I know there are a few negatives but we very much liked the house and views and would happily re visit if it was updated. It does look a wee bit tired decor wise. The downstairs loo had a lot of cobwebs. It's just constructive feedback that hopefully will enhance further stays for customers. It's the 3rd UK holiday with Sykes and we will continue to book with you. Thank you. Elaine Vincent

Excellent cottage with everything needed for a great week.

Superb property with fantastic views,great location ( unless you prefer to be close to a town centre) , for visiting other parts of Anglesey .

Very well equipped, comfortable and quiet

Lovely stay.

The cottage had everything you needed Extremly comfortable and tastefully furnished throughout. Outside area a little disappointing Some minor maintenance to the garden and patio area needed to complement the outstanding view,but fully appreciate the end of season problems However it wouldn’t take many hours for a gardener to bring it up to scratch.

Ty Mawr is a quirky property, furnished to a high standard tastefully done.

It has everything you need, extremely well equipped. The weather wasn’t kind to us during our week so was nice to have a holiday home we enjoyed being in. It is in an ideal location for exploring Anglesey and the mainland, it would have been nice to have spent more time in the garden but weather didn’t really allow. Would highly recommend Ty Mawr.

Good base for exploring Anglesey, comfortable accommodation, good views from property.

However, problem with boiler which Sykes cottages did respond to, perhaps could benefit from a service. Garden spacious & has lovely plants with a new decking at the base of garden, in the description it was described as ‘stunning’ , however, it could be if not so overgrown, needs a lot of attention, new decking not really accessible & the 2 seatings areas in garden require maintenance. Garden also not really private as it is in front of the attached property & not in front of Ty Mawr. The seating areas could be made a little more private? Garage step is rotten & dangerous, it needs urgently replacing. Recycling instructions for this area needs clarification as the garage was full of recycling, we put this out but it was not collected?

Gorgeous cottage and garden.

Facilities brilliant! Only minor issue - we couldn't work the TV, some idiot guide instructions would be helpful (although we only put it on once!)

Wonderful house with stunning views and beautifully presented throughout.

Great location, lovely big rooms.

The narrow lane is a little tricky if you have a big car but just needs a bit of patience Definitely recommend!

Loved the cottage, wished we could have stayed longer.

The little road wasn't as bad as previous reviews. I have a Tourag and managed ok. I didn't park in the garage (to lazy) and could quite easily park in the space.

Lovely cottage, in a very peaceful location.

Loved a coffee in bed looking at the view. Only niggle, could have done with a companion set for the fire but it in no way spoiled anything. Would I go back, YES.

Really lovely cottage.

Very comfortable, clean, cosy, bright and extremely well equipped. Good situation with beautiful views and close to amenities. Our family car would only fit in the garage with the door left open. It might be useful to give the usable length of the garage in the listing. The parking space was fine opposite for one car, but it might be a problem for visitors with 2 cars if neither could fit in the garage as there is nowhere else to park in the vicinity. We had a great holiday here however and would recommend this cottage.

A lovely spacious house, beautifully furnished and very comfortable.

Pros….

.Fabulous house, wonderful views, garden a little disjointed from the main property…so couldn’t let our dog off lead and the lower garden furniture unusable / broken. Excellent base for exploring Anglesey. Well equipped, super comfortable beds and linen. However ?..Two cons from us ( age range 14-65)…..Access very poor for anything bigger than a very narrow car. Nothing in walking distance. Check in/out times …..9am checkout too early especially as you are requested to strip beds, clean up, including all appliances, leave dishwasher empty and remove all food products / waste from the property. I’m pretty sure the owners could consider 10 am. All that said, we had no issues during our stay and enjoyed our holiday in Anglesey.

The house was absolutely lovely, a real retreat.

However, Sykes Cottages terms that you cannot book in until 5pm - meaning you miss most of Day 1, and leaving by 9am on the last day - which meant we left the day before - are far too onerous. Normal terms are booking after 2pm and leaving by 11am. This would be far better for clients - goodness knows how people with children cope at such an early leaving hour!

The reason why it failed our expectations is not because this is a well appointed house with good facilities etc, but: There were no cleaning tools so we had to make several calls to Sykes to get a hover, mop and dust pan.

The rep was very helpful though. The house photos need updating. The kitchen and bathrooms don’t reflect reality, and the garden is not connected to the house. The fittings need cleaning or updating, for example, the lamp shades have had it on the stairs, the rugs are filthy, just worn out and smelly, and full of dust. And the the front porch is filthy. I had to clear it of soggy leaves. Some light bus have gone and need replacing ( not the correct bulbs in the house) The bathroom shower screen has seen better days and needs replacing Holes in the walls where things have moved and the paint work in the lounge is awful! You really need to finish this. Holes around the plug sockets. It feels tired for what it is. It’s a great house and just needs some tlc.

We had a wonderful stay at Ty Mawr and highly recommend this spacious and very comfortable cottage.

The big living room, the amazing mountain views, the large pretty garden - all combined with a peaceful location on a stunning island. However the narrow lane where it is based is really only for estate cars or smaller - large SUVs might struggle.. Sykes were also very helpful in answering questions before the stay - great customer service all round.

The property was sufficient, but didn't live up to our expectations.

To say that COVID regulations are still very stringent in Wales, the property was not thoroughly cleaned. There was thick dust under the sofas (which could easily be moved to vac) and items left in drawers. This didn't give us a lot of confidence that the property had been cleaned to a sufficient level. The garden was uncared for and the grass needed mowing. Several tiles were loose on the patio The road to access the property is very narrow. We managed it, but if you have a big car you may struggle. The location is great though and the views and stunning. Plenty of space for 6 people. Could just do with a bit of TLC and a refresh

Great place to holiday, lovely and clean, had everything we needed.

Really great place. If I had to pick up on anything it would be the very small parking space. Says space for two car but we couldn’t understand where the other space was. The pillows are very thin.

We have used Sykes numerous times, we are staying in a beautiful cottage at the moment.

Unfortunately Ty Mawr cottage in Anglesey where we stayed last week was poor, dirty and smelt damp. The photon Sykes sight does nor resent the cottage. I complained about the accommodation last Monday but didn’t receive a reply until Thursday. I’ve sent photographs through and have had no response since. We will use Sykes again although it seems when there’s an issue all contact stops.

Location Location Location - beautiful peaceful spot on Anglesey with the most stunning views, and it was easy to access anywhere on the island as well as the Mountains of Snowdonia.

The cottage was well equipped and we made full use of the table on the patio to dine outside as the weather was absolutely gorgeous. A wonderful holiday had by all!

This beautiful cottage has everything that you could need, the views are fabulous, the road down to it is extremely narrow so take care, a wonderful few days and very relaxing

We had an issue with the central heating.

As our holiday was towards the end of September the nights were quite cold. There was only one small heater and a wood burner in the lounge which was not really enough to heat the house especially as we had a 4 month old baby. However the holiday company was very good and supplied us with 2 heaters and some kindling fire wood which sufficed for our last night. Hopefully the heating problem will be resolved for anyone taking late breaks at Ty Mawr. Also the car parking situation - it states off road car parking for 2 cars. It is not really off road as the parking is one car on each side of the road which is a very narrow lane. Fortunately not too much traffic passes. But it really is only adequate for 2 small - to medium (just about) cars. Bit of a squeeze anything larger and takes a lot of manoeuvring . Apart from that it is a beautiful house, well equipped, very clean and has a lovely enclosed garden. Best of all - the stunning views of the Menai Straights. We enjoyed it - thank you!

The cottage was exactly how it was advertised.

It was beautiful and Covid-safe. The views from the patio were absolutely breathtaking as it overlooked the Menai Strait with the mountains in the background. Awesome. The location was ideal for visiting all the places of interest. The parking was a bit tight, but that said we had a wonderful time and would definitely return

The location was perfect for exploring the surrounding area.

Great for walks, local pubs & restaurants. The accommodation had great facilities both inside & out with a large garden which was great for our dog. We had a fantastic holiday & would highly recommend this property.

The state of the toilets were not great as we arrived.

..not all flushed and not all cleaned. The outside path could do with a brush....its the first thing we see as we arrive and it is very dirty. The views are beyond expectation and the garden is lovely. The beds are very comfortable. a really lovely place and very conveniently positioned for local explorations

Had good contact with owners to clear up some questions before Holiday, cottage was really nice and very comfortable with amazing views, the public footpath between the cottage and garden was not an issue at all, would definitely use again .

We were told the building in the photograph in front of the actual rental property, that is the one with the dormer windows in the roof and between the rental property and the garden, was actually part of the rental property itself.

In the event this proved not to be the case, it was instead a completely separate building which intrudes between Ty Mawr and the garden. Furthermore, there is no warning of the very restricted access lane to Ty Mawr, probably impossible to negotiate for a slightly wider than usual vehicle such as a Range Rover and the impossibility of continuing past the house to the main road below. Aside from the foregoing, Ty Mawr itself is very comfortable and well equipped and everything works precisely as it should.

Good location and well equipped

nice property, amazing garden and views
