Menai Cottage

Lovely cottage with everything you could possibly need.

Stunning views. We had a great stay.

The cottage was in the most idiotic place nothing but bird song in the morning.

What a lovely way to spend a holiday. Also fabulous base to explore the island which is so clean no litter in sight. Menai village a gem also Benllech beach is a must my grand kids enjoyed every minute. Thank you again Lesley and Richard for being great hosts. Debbie

Our third visit to Menai Cottage and another perfect week's holiday.

The cottage, as before, was super-clean, equipped with everything you could possibly need and blessed with a wonderful view of the Menai Strait. Many thanks for also providing the non-stop sunshine!

This was our 2nd stay at the Cottage .

.... just as impressed and amazed at the facilities they are second to none!! Every comfort and luxury is catered for........ and more..... the location is stunning, relaxing in the beautiful garden with a wonderful view of the menai straits , our favourite place on earth at the cottage ....and a huge thank you for the milk and bara brith.... best we have ever had x we have already booked for 2027 and counting down the days .

One of the best cottages in the area.

Well worth the price. Some are definitely overpriced this is fantastic value for money. Clean and fresh with all mod cons. We have stayed at them all so we know what we are talking about!!.

A very comfortable and well equipped property in a super location.

We hope to return.

Problem in the 1st minute of arrival but got sorted straight away.

Fantastic customer service. This was our 3rd visit to this amazing house and it never dissapoints. Menories made.

Cottage is absolutely fabulous would recommend to anyone really enjoyed the piece and quiet and fabulous view.

And the cottage was 100% clean would definitely book it again. Well done 10 out of 10 for this cottage fabulous. Thank you.

What a stunning cottage can not fault in any way facilities and location perfect, even met the owner in person perfect gentleman.

We loved it that much already booked for next year

We have stayed at this lovely cottage before but it has now had a refurbishment, the kitchen area is beautifully done and the bathrooms are lovely, we would recommend this cottage if you want peace, quiet and amazing views.

There are no negatives about this cottage Thank you for another lovely stay

Fabulous!

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped. It had everything we needed - and more. It was very spacious, even with 4 adults and a teenager. The views from the patio were superb and it is all set in a very peaceful location. We will certainly be looking to return. The only downside was having to return home and leave the beautiful landscape behind.

This was our second visit to this beautiful holiday house in a spectacular setting with amazing views across the Menai Strait.

The renovations to the house, completed since our last visit, have made it a 5-star accommodation and it is now so well equipped that we found everything we could possibly need! Also, many thanks for the milk and Bara Brith - both very much appreciated.

Once you arrive at Menai cottage, you are struck by the serenity of the location.

The cottage is beautifully presented, with an excellent, well equipped, kitchen, main bathroom, (there were only two of us) en suite bathroom and comfortable lounge. The bed was very comfortable and the bedroom has plenty of hanging space and drawers. The garden outside has a large table, chairs and parasol with beautiful views over to the mainland. The whole experience was one of tranquility and a very relaxing holiday.

Thank you for the lovliest of stays in a beautiful cottage in an idylic setting.

Can i say a big thank you to the owners for the best bara brith we have ever tasted which you left for us . The cottage had everything ...and more , we shed a tear leaving but definatley returning. Thank you Sykes for a seamless booking process , with clear instructions .

Menai cottage was absolutely stunning.

What more can I say. The cake and milk was a lovely gesture thankyou. We were really lucky with the weather which made our holiday even better. Waking up in the morning to the lovely views over the Menai Straights. Fantastic stay all round. We will definitely come back again. Highly recommend.

Fantastic views from beautiful setting.

Cottage was immaculate and very well equipped, definitely as good as the reviews said! Well worth a return visit too. We booked at the very last minutes which all went smoothly.

Great cottage virtually shoreline to the Menai Straits.

Very spacious, comfortable living accommodation with great views of the Menai Straits. Very well equipped newly refurbished kitchen. Great location.

Excellent cottage, really enjoyed our stay.

Just one suggestion, the Wi-Fi signal does not extend to the bedrooms. Installation of a WiFi booster to overcome this, would be an advantage.

The property overall was superb, clean spacious and very comfortable with Beautiful views all round.

Lovely place, very picturesque setting, peaceful.

A little more attention to cleaning would be good though, pockets of dust, cobwebs, in bedrooms. But , we did generally really like the place.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful place.

We would love to return next year.

Lovely property, clean and tidy, well equipped kitchen, bedrooms very comfortable clean and tidy, living room spacious and well equipped, lovely enclosed gardens with amazing outlook over the Menai straight, with off-road parking for 2 cars, we had 4 generations with us, from 0 to 85 years and everyone was happy with the property

A beautiful well equipped cottage in a beautiful location.

Would highly recommend.

We all enjoyed our holiday and we had lovely views.

An amazing property, clean and well resourced.

There were 4 adults in our group, three generations, the cottage would have easily accommodated six people. The beach, is on the doorstep and great for morning or early evening strolls. The area is quiet but within walking distance of some great places to visit including the farm, aquarium and sea salt museum and factory. All places have somewhere to eat lovely food and beverages. Loads to do and see in and around Anglesey all accessible by car. Thank you for an amazing stay.

A great holiday cottage.

Peaceful location with fabulous views. The cottage was clean and very well equipped for a family. Plenty of things to do nearby to. A fabulous cottage.

Beautiful location.

Very well equipped cottage, although a dishwasher would have been appreciated, rather than a washing machine!

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful position, peaceful and relaxing with plenty to do without having to drive too far.

Food shopping nearby with a Co-op and a Waitrose a short drive away . This cottage is very well equipped, we found nothing lacking plenty of crockery and cutlery - not like some where you just get 1 place setting for each guests. Glad I took a couple of extra T Towels. The garden provides plenty of space to sit outside for a meal or a drink with wonderful views. Missed a dishwasher, but the 3 adults and our two grandsons helped and it was soon accomplished. Games, DVD etc provided for use on the smart TV Wi-fi connection very reliable. It wasn't a particularly warm week during our stay, rather damp at times and we did have to use the fire in the lounge and flick on the CH in the evening but every thing worked perfectly with clear instructions provided. Recycling explained in detail and we found it easy to understand. No problem with the seating in the lounge, but suggest a 'bean bag' or large floor cushion might be useful especially with 6 people in residence. We also found the summer duvets to be too lightweight for us and we had to use our car rugs/throws on the beds, but this was very much down to our preferences. All in all a perfect week in a perfect cottage. Thank you to the owners.

A lovely house with beautiful views.

House is well maintained and equiped. We've had a great time!

Lovely position beside the Menai Strait with views over to Snowdonia and Caernarvon.

Well appointed and very clean property and amply provided for in the way of cutlery, glasses and other kitchen essentials. As others have commented before, the bathroom basin waste outlet still leaks and will not hold water(need the same diameter O ring but thicker cross section) Most of the washers on the taps in the toilet, kitchen(cold water tap drips), bathroom and ensuite; washers past their use by date and should be replaced. However; apart from the above items, a pleasing property and highly recommended. We will certainly use it again whenever we return to Anglesey.

the cottage is lovely the views are amazing, we did have a little bit of an issue with the main bathroom's bath, the water wouldn't go down after a shower and the toilet was filling up to the top we used the plunger to try to get rid of the water which worked ,phoned the owners and reported issue, the shower in the en suite could do with a small non slip shower mat but other than this the cottage is perfect for exploring the wonderful island , well equipt with everything you need.

easy check in and check out too

Our first time back on Anglesey since Covid and with no vacancy at our usual rental just down the coast, we took a chance on Mermaid Cottage.

We were very glad we did! We found it spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and ideally placed away from busy roads and noise. I think we will be checking on this property's availability first for our future visits.

Beautiful cottage in an amazing location.

Well equipped, comfortable and clean Really enjoyed our stay and hope to stay again soon

There were so may little things.

It did not spoil the holiday but: In the front room there are just two very soft uncomfortable sofas. Great for the young, but not so great for the not so young, they are far too low, and very hard to get up from, my wife had live in the bed room on the bed. The door to the lounge would not stay shut and had to be wedged closed. The plug in the sink was only 3/4 the size of the plug hole so the sink would not hold water. The amount of separation for recycling is out of this world. Yet there was not enough recycling containers in the building to separate the types, so we brought all our refuse home. There are six chairs around the kitchen table, three of them are trapped against the two walls because the kitchen is far too small to have the table away from the walls and people get to all the chairs. The flapping of something on the roof in the wind was nearly as bad as the time it took to refill the cistern in the main bedroom's bathroom when your trying to get to sleep. The list goes on and on. As I said it did not spoil or holiday but we wouldn't recommend the cottage to someone we liked.

The cottage is in a picturesque location and there are some lovely local walks.

Good parking and access. The kitchen is well equipped and only lacks small cutlery knives. It was annoying that the plug didn't fit the sink and all washing up had to be done in a small bowl. The basins in the main bathroom and the en suite also had a deficient plugs and the water ran out whilst you were still washing! Very few sockets which meant the use of extension leads. The bedlinen and duvets were clean but very 'tired' and the 2 people using the divans doubled up the duvet as they were 4.5 tog and didn't have sufficient warmth in them for the time of the year {late September}

Wonderful little cottage in the perfect location.

The kitchen was well equipped and had all the essentials, my son was very impressed with the coffee cafeteria. Loved the garden furniture and cushions as the weather was very kind to us. We are looking to book again next year as my mother is not very mobile but loved a stroll on the front and visit to sea zoo and foel farm. The only criticism is the lack of towels 2 in the kitchen with no dishwasher, is not really enough and two beds had only 1 bath towel, left on them, and they were damp not fully dried, most cottages we have visited have had a couple of extra towels on site, couldn’t fault any other aspects of the cottage it was a most enjoyable week and a very relaxing holiday

Lovely place with all you need & well presented, but let down by only providing one tea towel .

Sounds like nitpicking but very annoying when doing lots of cooking with no dishwasher and not knowing where some can be bought. This should be in booking info.

Lovely location, well appointed comfortable cottage except a lack of loo roll and tea towels.

Amazing artex!

A lovely peaceful cottage, perfect situation.

Had everything that we needed.

Lovely location and garden.

Cottage seemed a bit ‘tired’ e.g. locks on all toilet doors not working, lot of extension leads, damp in some walls. Quite well equipped but clothes horse and dishwasher would have been helpful. Good price and cottage worked well for us.

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful location, so quiet and peaceful, but within easy reach of activities to suit all ages.

The perfect holiday for our multi generation family,would definitely book this cottage again.

I did not check that the property had a dishwasher so I cannot blame anyone else.

This problem was compounded by the small draining space by the sink. Otherwise the kitchen was very well equipped and there was more than enough crockery and cutlery. It's location was wonderful. There was little traffic and the view was spectacular especially from the table outside. The grandchildren loved scavenging on the beaches. We had a great holiday.

A lovely cottage with the most stunning views across the Menai Straits.

We were spoilt with the choice of bathrooms and comfy beds. Highly recommended.

Fantastic cottage, well equipt, lovely location and beautiful views.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location, my granddaughters loved being there.

Menai cottage was lovely.

It met my expectations and more. Very peaceful and lovely views of the straits. Looking across to Caernarfon Castle lit up at night was fab.

Very well equipped cottage and comfortable but we found it cold.

Wonderful views when we could see them . Perhaps because the weather was poor and, being elderly we spent more time sitting inside. Didn’t feel justified turning on central heating as it was the middle of June!

Wonderful secluded location with magnificent views across Menai Strait to Caernarfon and Snowdonia.

Cottage was spacious, clean and very well equipped. It warmed up after 24 hours of heating, but was disappointingly cold the first day and night and I had to correct the time on the boiler to BST as well as resetting the programme to make it work for us, with young children and a rheumatoid arthritis sufferer. This was disappointing as I had contacted the owner a week in advance to explain our needs and had hoped this would have been communicated to the caretaker/cleaner.

I have already commented on previous box.

Lack of. Tea towels bit this was addressed thank you. Not great looking at the eyesore of yard next door,

Everything you need for an enjoyable stay has been provided and a carton of milk and packet of biscuits was a lovely touch on our arrival.

The garden is well cared for and has a nice table and chairs so weather permitting a meal or drinks could be enjoyed outdoors.
