“We loved our stay, the property worked well for us as a family and we loved the decor.”

We had read reviews before came so knew what to expect from the property. It was well equipt, we only missed a full length sweeping brush and mop. We did struggle with the Wi-Fi and never got connected so I’m not sure if the password has changed since the welcome book was put together perhaps? Also, just a few logs for the first night, would have been nice, though in the end with the unseasonably warm weather we chose not to use the log burner. Overall we had a great stay, the location was ...

We had read reviews before came so knew what to expect from the property. It was well equipt, we only missed a full length sweeping brush and mop. We did struggle with the Wi-Fi and never got connected so I’m not sure if the password has changed since the welcome book was put together perhaps? Also, just a few logs for the first night, would have been nice, though in the end with the unseasonably warm weather we chose not to use the log burner. Overall we had a great stay, the location was perfect for exploring beautiful Anglesey and the house comfortable and clean. We know the property is on the market so perhaps won’t be available for holiday let much longer, but still, if it were we would return in the future.

“The layout of the property is brilliant.”

It is a shame the caravan park at the rear of the property is not mentioned and we were glad we went out of season - perhaps this is why the property is for sale? It could also do with a deep clean, especially of floors and this should not be expected of guests when they have paid over £600 for a week - we have never been asked to do this anywhere else. The sofa is very uncomfortable unless you want to lie down and would be awful for older people or people with mobility problems. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was good. Internet access went down after one day but young gentleman from Menai Cottages sorted it for us and was very helpful. We enjoyed our stay overall though.

“8/10 for the holiday cottage.”

Only small things that let it down. that can easily be amended. No shaving point in bathroom ,no grill pan in top oven. Clean and didn't smell of dogs although a dog friendly cottage. I did put the broom behind the large bed to remove some cobwebs and dust but i do appreciate you couldn't move the bed due to it being very heavy., super king I think and no pillow protectors. Having said this yes I would stay there again and was very satisfied. My second dog friendly holiday this year but the other was with one of your competitors and your cottage was far superior, we left their property after two nights due to lack of cleanliness. Yes Sykes will be first choice for next holiday.

Trevor September 2023

“Location was great.”

Nice walk to the local pub (who do amazing food) and to the local shop. The property was a little tired looking with lots of cobwebs and crockery etc that had been put away dirty. Could be a lovely place , just needs a little TLC and a good clean. Unfortunately the cows in the adjacent field seemed to attract a lot of flies and bluebottles into the house.

- Trevor, September 2023
Linda September 2023

“Fabulous week, we were prepared with things your feedback listed as missing but we didn’t need them.”

Yes there was only 1 tea towel and towels were few but we just washed them tbh. Cushions do need replacing and when I stripped the beds so do some of the pillows as a few were quite badly stained. Apart from that a beautiful cottage, thank you x

“Just a warning about the path leading to the front door which has some raised stones built into the path.”

It unfortunately led to me having a fall as I have M.S and am a little unsteady on my feet. Maybe it should be pointed out to customers prior to booking. Many thanks

“We had a lovely week and the house is lovely it’s just missing a few essentials ie more towels, grill pan we had to use two baking trays to make breakfast, kitchen utensils are very limited no oven gloves and only one tea towel provided, pegs and more suitable sofa cushions would be a pleasant extra.”

We had a lovely week though!

“Loved the location of the property and it was clean however there were a few things that could have been better.”

Inside cushions need replacing tired and old. Outside furniture could do with being replaced not like the photos shown. Outside cushions were dirty and old too. Photos of kitchen show coffee machine and filter neither were in this property and had to go and buy basics of kitchen cloths. Don’t normally say or complain but I have noticed this property is on the market to be sold so could be why it’s not been updated.

“My husband, our dog and myself had a lovely week in Anglesey.”

Eiriannedd had a really well equipped kitchen which had everything we needed. The property was well placed for us to visit all our favourite places and our dog Snoop had a whale of a time!! The only slight criticism I would have is that 5 0’clock was rather late to gain entry on the 1st day. It meant that Friday was lost really. Most other places have allowed us in at 3. Overall though it was a great place.

- Doreen, May 2023

“Had a fantastic time.”

Well equipped and spacious in a brilliant location. Would definitely recommend and will be planning a return trip if still available.

“The house was very comfortable and well equipped.”

The garden was lovely and safe for our two grandchildren. If there was one small complaint it would be that for 6 people only one WC could be problematic. However we would be happy to recommend the property. We had a lovely holiday and would return in the future

“We left after two days due to being unable to control the central heating as there were no instructions left for any of the items in the house.”

We issued an email to Sykes cottages however received no response, we were unable to contact anyone from the house as no emergency contact details. My wife was suffering from a chest infection and due to not being able to heat the house we left. i have stayed in numerous rentals over the years and there is always an information booklet available and at the very least a contact number. I am also suspicious about the two off echo dots we found that did not respond to any sort of voice control along with a secondary internet network. It was only after trying for twenty minutes to connect to the Erianedd network we sused it is actually the Vodafone network that is for guests.

“It was our 2nd stay at Eirianedd this year we love it there .”

The cushions are a little tiered need a wash in the lounge and the carpet going into the largest front bedroom had a stain on it but nothing to stop us going again the place is well thought out space wise its great There was a bottle of bubbly and selection boxes for the children kindly left for us and decorated Christmas tree which was nice . We will definitely be booking again for next year !

- Janet, December 2022
Paul October 2022

“Nice place, nice location.”

I'd say a little tired inside. Settees are a poor design and you need lots cushions. The smell from the oil fired central heating takes some getting used too. In fairness it's in the kitchen area rather than everywhere. The master bedroom is great, with a huge bed that's comfortable. The property has all you need for your holiday. I would consider going back. I've tried to be honest and fair in my experience at the property.

Ian September 2022

“We had a lovely stay.”

The location was excellent. Everything was as described and we could not fault it. The bungalow was tastefully furnished and we loved it. Would definitely recommend and would return without hesitation.

- Ian, September 2022
Michael September 2022

“Very please with the spacious bungalow, unfortunately our dog was not comfortable with the polished floor throughout the hall and lounge so we had to lay towels down.”

Pictures on website showed rugs in lounge. Everything else was perfect apart from no kitchen scissors a d no starter pack for log fire.

- Michael, September 2022
Peter August 2022

“We loved everything about the accomodation.”

Location is superb, so quiet and peaceful. Only one gripe really - there is a chemical type smell as you enter the back door coming from the utility storage room. The best recommendation I could give is that we will be going back in the future. Thanks to the owners who have done such a great job with the facilities etc.

“I have just returned from a weeks stay in Eiriannedd.”

On arrival first impression was very nice. On entering the bungalow very bright, spacious. On opening the door to the lounge there was a doggy smell. This appeared to be coming from the rug and soft furnishings (these looked like they needed cleaning, if not replacing). Inside the lounge near the door the laminate/ wooden floor has lifted. This I feel is a hazard to guests. In the utility there was a very strong fuel type smell, this was quite overpowering. There was still dirty laundry on the floor under the high chair which I can only imagine were from the previous guests. In the kitchen some of the crockery was chipped and had not been cleaned properly. The pans and frying pan again not been scrubbed to clean properly, I think they had just been put in the dish washer and then into the cupboard and not checked. Cooking utensils - scissors in the drawer under the hob we’re broken, therefore they could not be used. There were six adults and when it came to bathroom facilities the one bathroom was a bit of a struggle. Maybe look at including an ensuite in the spacious main bedroom. Daily we did not have enough hot water for everyone to have warm/hot shower. The garden area had beautiful views although we were not advised that the bungalow overlooked a small camp/caravan site. I feel this information should be stated in accommodation details. The garden itself needs some care to make it safer and child friendly. The garden did not live up to the expectations from the pictures on the website. The patio seating area was dirty, overgrown with weeds. The wooden area near the barbecue was rotting. The barbecue was rusting, had not been emptied by previous guests. The Dead plants need getting rid of. In the garden small table made from tiles was rusting, tiles were missing and bigger tiles had just been left on top of the table to cover the missing tiles. The grid areas need proper secure covers to prevent injuries. By the side of the house there were items of furniture which just looked like they were waiting to be taken to the tip. The owner needs to update their information pack for the accommodation. With information such as: recycling, how to get hot water. I hope that my feedback helps yourselves and the owner to make greater improvements Eiriannedd for the future. Kind Regards Michelle Birchall

“Nitial impressions as we walked into the front door was the smell.”

There had clearly been a big black (plenty of dog hair still about) dog staying there and there was a very strong smell especially in the kitchen. We are dog owners ourselves but it was very off putting. We hoovered ourselves to try and help. There was also some unwashed bedding on the top bunk. So initial impressions were unfortunately not good. Outside the bbq was dirty and the baby seat for the swing was broken - my 1 year old was desperate to go on and so this lead to an early melt down. We hid the broken and frankly dangerous swing. The mud kitchen from the images wasn't there either. All the furniture outside was tired and the table had missing tiles which had been 'replaced' by ones too big. However, positives, the house is a brilliant size, stays cool when the weather is hot, the sandpit and slides are great for the kids, washing machine and dishwasher are a big plus (although the dinner plates are too large to fit in and allow the arm to spin) . The house has clearly been done up to a high standard fairly recently. It's close to Newborough beach which is perfect for kids and dogs and must be up there with the best beaches in the country. Overall we had a lovely stay, initial impressions weren't good, and no welcome package of milk or anything which many others do. Outside needs a bit of tlc and repairs (properly). But in all we've had a lovely holiday.

Christopher July 2022

“A lovely bungalow in a nice location and we enjoyed our stay.”

However, we were disappointed on several fronts.. Cleaning appeared to have been done in a hurry despite late check-in time. There was dirty crockery left in the dishwasher and wet pillow -cases left in the washing machine which, by the time we discovered them, had gone smelly and had to be re-washed by us. There was also no mention of the fact that the field behind the garden is a caravan and camping site, so no privacy there. Finally, don’t expect a welcome-pack, not even a pint of milk. The only extras are what have been left by previous guests. Disappointing!!

- Christopher, July 2022
Courtney July 2022

“Absolutely gorgeous property.”

We stayed for a week and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. It had everything we needed to have a comfortable stay including everything we needed to cook a full Sunday roast! Also, we are extremely grateful we were allowed to have our two dogs with us. The property was perfect for them.

“Lovely spacious property, with an enclosed garden so safe and secure for children and dogs.”

Nicely furnished and spotlessly clean, would highly recommend.

- Stephen, May 2022
Emma March 2022

“The house was decorated and furnished lovely and the process booking through sykes was very easy and thorough.”

We do have one main complaint about our stay though, considering the check in/out times have been severely reduced due to covid to maximize extra cleaning measures, the cleanliness of the property was extremely disappointing, to the point we would not return to this property. A thorough clean had not been undertaken at all prior to us arriving (5pm), considering check out is 10.30am, that gives 6.5 hours of cleaning time. We ended up washing all of the plates, glasses, cups and cutlery as all were dirty, the bathroom was really unclean (only the toilet and sink had been washed) and all of the rooms had dust on the surfaces. Finally and one of the most off putting things, in the area between the back door and the boiler/storage room, there is such a strong unpleasant smell coming from it, we had to hold our breath when walking outside through the area, it almost smells of chemicals but this should absolutely be checked before allowing anyone else to stay in the property, the cleaner surely would have know of this foul smell if there were thoroughly cleaning on our day of arrival, which again makes us think the property was hardly touched.

Karen March 2022

“We have stayed in a lot of properties over the years we have been coming to Angelsey and Eiriannedd is one of the nice ones, good location,clean and comfortable.”

I have only given 4 stars because of a few things that we have found in other properties that we did not find here really do help.A welcome pack is always nice when you arrive.Kitchen items - dish washer tablets (enough for your stay) kitchen foil and kitchen roll all really helpful, also an extra pizza tray one is not enough if you have six people.Bathroom- one toilet roll.Lastly pillows need replacing and pillow protectors added ( yellow stains) when we stripped the beds.This is not bad feed back just trying to point out things to help.Thanks for a lovely few days.

Margaret December 2021

“Fabulous bungalow that was a real home from home.”

Everything was provided that was necessary for a comfortable stay. A later checkout time would have been preferable.

- Margaret, December 2021

Dear customer, Excuse me I am not allowed to write your name here for privacy reasons. This is the owner of Eiriannedd. Thank you for your comments, we're glad you had a nice stay. With regard to the check out time, I've asked to change that to 1030. I would like it later but it's to do with covid cleaning rules. Thank you, do please come and stay again, we are staying there soon and cannot wait. Property Owner

“Lovely stay and lovely cottage provided everything we needed.”

Great location very close to the beach. Just a couple of things - the high chair, was quite dirty so didn’t end up using it, and also it should state before booking, that you need to clean and have the cottage back to its original state before leaving. We were very tidy as a family but you are spending your morning cleaning and vacuuming on check out than making the most of your time there. We were given a later check out which was greatly appreciated.

“It's a lovely bungalow with plenty of room for a family.”

Our grandchildren loved the swing and the cows in the field next door. It's in a peaceful spot with plenty of space for two cars. Well equipped kitchen although we didn't use it very much . We would certainly be happy to re-book for next year .

Loved being so close to newborough beach. Lovely enclosed garden that was really safe for the children. Slight issue with tripped electrics on our arrival, called helpline and within 30 minutes it was resolved. Would highly recommend this property.

The house was lovely, but there was no hoover in the property which would have made cleaning at the end of the holiday easier

Amy May 2021

“Beautiful property.”

Extremely clean when we arrived. The place was welcoming and decorated to a high standard. The chaise longue sofa is perhaps the only downfall as it is difficult to prise yourself off it as it’s so comfy. We were surprised as to how close we were to all the Newborough Forrest parking areas, much to our springer’s delight. Would definitely book again!

- Amy, May 2021
Wesley April 2021

“What a great place to stay in an even better location.”

Would highly recommend and would definitely come back. Perfect for a young family of four with the enclosed garden, sandpit and play frame. Can’t wait to come back

The area was beautiful and we can't wait to book again and go back.
