“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!

We are very pleased you enjoyed your stay. The reason behind the late arrival and early departure was due to the rigorous cleaning that was implemented due to covid, we still “fog” our house which kills any viruses etc., I’ll speak to Menai. Property Owner

“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

- Alexandra, August 2021

Thank you for you feedback. We were pleased to hear that you enjoyed the location and views, but saddened to hear our lovely home did not live up to your expectations. Our housekeeper fogs the property before your arrival for your protection, which can sometimes leave a residue. We try to provide all the utensils you may need in the kitchen drawers for cooking and they will have been washed prior to your arrival. There should not be anything in any other drawers within the property, but we will ask our housekeeper to check. A gardener tends to the garden every 2 weeks, but due to lock down restraints during Covid, we are still trying to catch up, but it's still a beautiful usable garden, and the grass is cut when the weather has permitted it to be cut. Photos of the loose tiles would have been useful, along with photos of the dust under the couch sent to us on your arrival, as we would have instructed the housekeeper to call back and clean it for you. The access to the property is detailed in the literature, which should be read before arrival in preparation for your stay, along with other important information. Property Owner

“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.

- Paul, August 2021

The parking space for 2 medium cars are just opposite the garage, while another can be parked in the garage with the door left open. Property Owner

“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.

- Sarah, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. TY Mawr is a much loved property and the owner would have been happy to rectify any issues had you raised them with her at the start of your stay. The property is 'Fogged' to ensure all surfaces are germ free which can leave a slight residue. It is of paramount importance to her that guests have an enjoyable stay and has taken your feedback on board, the electrical issues are in hand. Property Owner

“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!

- Martin, September 2020

Thank you for your feedback and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Ty Mawr. Although we have not had any issues with the heating previously, we have taken on board your comments and are looking into an extra radiator downstairs. We hope to welcome you back to Ty Mawr again to enjoy the stunning views very soon. Property Owner
Lyn September 2020

“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.

Antony August 2020

“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

- Antony, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback, we are living in unusual times at the moment and we are endeavoring to make the house as safe, clean and fresh for every guest. The property is 'Fogged' to ensure all surfaces are germ free which may have left a slight residue on the toilet seat. We have now employed a gardener to maintain the gardens and entrance and these should now be up their usual standard. We do hope we get to see you visit us again. " Property Owner
Barrie July 2020

“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 .”

Terry September 2019

“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.

- Terry, September 2019

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you found Ty Mawr comfortable and well equipped. We work hard to ensure that all our guests enjoy their stay. However, we were sorry to hear you were confused as to which house you were renting. The first photo on the website clearly shows the house as being the one with the patio and the sliding doors. There is a public footpath between the patio and the garden, but this has never caused any concern or intrusion into anyone's privacy. Regarding the road, you are easily able to get a transit van or large car down it with care. Granted, you can't get down the hill past the house, but there are road signs at both ends indicating it's inaccessible to vehicles. Property Owner

Menai Bridge also has lots of shops, cafes and award winning restaurants. Just a hop and skip from the house, The Gazelle is a really great spot to sit and watch the boats bob up and down while enjoying a drink or a bite to eat.
