- Mr Pickering, September 2020
“The weather was not great but we enjoyed a fabulous week in Mermaid Cottage.”

Views across menai were superb and exciting watching waves blowing across in 60mph winds. Location good but a treck to nearest facilities so important to take supplies with you Cottage for six but lack of comfortable seating and hob a nightmare to turn on

- Mrs Longworth, August 2020
“This is my second visit to this cottage (I was last there in 2009).”

The views are amazing. The cottage is clean and comfortable and well stocked (nice glasses, plates etc). Sadly the coffee maker wasn't there due to the covid clean up. The washer dryer is amazing (no dirty washing on the way home). The bathrooms are luxurious, especially the nice power shower in the en-suite. If I had any complaints they would be - The lack of an instruction book for the cooker and the tired leather suite in the living room (I think it was the same one that was there 10 years ago). Other than that absolutely amazing holiday home.

- Ms Massey, August 2020
“Lovely cottage great location.”

But there is a real musty smell in all the bedroom furniture and kitchen cupboards and being an asthma sufferer was really a off putting...parts are in need off a bit of up dating and would make this a fabulous cottage because of its location.

- Mrs Beckett, August 2020
“The cottage was comfortable and well-equipped but the location, especially the view was spectacular.”

- Miss Brown, July 2020
“Absolutely loved this place right on the Menai very quiet beautiful views.”

Would definitely visit again. With the coastal path on the doorstep it was ideal for me and the mrs.

- Mr Hallam, October 2019
“The mermaid cottage was very clean and was well equipped.”

The surroundings were very tranquil and had lovely views.The only downside was the horrid smell in the double bedroom which would put me off going back there which is a shame as otherwise it's a beautiful comfortable cottage.

- Miss Barrett, September 2019
“The location of the cottage was absolutely perfect and exceeded my expectations - we were right by the sea!”

The cottage was very pretty from the outside, and had a lovely garden filled with butterflies and birds - and again exceeded expectations! Inside the cottage was very clean and had a superb bathroom and facilities. The only small thing it lacked was probably just a couple of ‘welcome’ bits, such as tea, coffee, etc. There was nothing that was complimentary or left as a ‘welcone’ - but that might be my expectations as the last cottage I booked had a welcone pack and lots of essentials that was really appreciated on the day of arrival.

- Mrs Ettle, August 2019
“Second time we have stayed here.”

Fantastic position overlooking the Menai Straits. Highly recommended, we plan to return again.

- Mr Roberts, June 2019
“It was a lovely peaceful location with the most amazing views of the Menai Straits and the mountains beyond, seen from the cottage and the garden.”

We had a much needed and refreshing break at Mermaid Cottage, with everything we could hope for (except for warmer weather maybe!!) Very well equipped and comfortable cottage

- Mrs Edwards, June 2019
“Cottage was outstanding and what a glorious place to stay, loss of one star as the central heating never came on so found it cold in the back of the cottage even with the electric heaters on (that we had to pay for).”

“We have holidayed at the cottage for the past four years, it really is lovely.”

Ideal location and we've had wonderful times here. I'm really sorry to moan but the heating wasn't realistic, it didn't come on and it was cold and a little damp so we had to use the electric heaters on occasion (it was July!). There really should just be a straightforward way of watching tv. If sky is not on offer it really is annoying that you can see all the channels but not watch them, freeview would be so much less frustrating. Lack of Wifi is a major problem now, it really does make life difficult for self employed people like myself, plus we were with our teenage "kids" this time and it was almost like their oxygen had been taken away! it really is classed as a "utility" like gas, electric & water these days. We absolutely love Anglesey and especially mermaid cottage, it's well maintained, we've never had a problem, always clean, a joy to holiday in.

“The views sell this cottage.”

Very spacious but needs some updating. Kitchen smells damp when opening cupboards. Carpets becoming a little tired need replacing soon. Very clean.

“A comfortable, peaceful cottage with fantastic views across the Straits to Caernarvon.”

and Snowdonia. The owners have installed a lovely new family bathroom. However the website still advertises it as having a toilet in the cloakroom. This was removed several years ago and may be important to some bookers. WiFi router does not work.

- Daryl Pearce,
“Perfect clean great views by the sea.”

- Angela Thomas,
“Lovely cottage in a wonderful location, with views of the Menai, the mountains and Caernarfon castle.”

Spacious and well equipped cottage providing a perfect base for a relaxing holiday. The only negative were the broken garden chairs, which were uncomfortable to sit on. Diolch!

- Catherein Gwynant,
“Fantastic view.”

Great location. Clean cottage.

“Absolutely beautiful cottage, couldn’t wish for a better location and view over the Menai Strait.”

Loved our morning and evening walks in close proximity to the seabirds. Cottage very comfortable and very well furnished apart from markings missing on cooker hob and oven controls and a few garden furniture chairs broken so couldn’t be used.
