“A large,clean, well presented and well equipped property.”

Ample space for our party of 6 adults and 4 children (ages-2 x 5 years, 1 x 2 years old and a 1 year old . Unfortunately the weather was extremely wet and windy so we were not able to make use of the large garden. Which would have been ideal for us. The house is well positioned for travelling round the island.Locally there are lovely beaches,the sea zoo, transport museum and lots of other attractions (payable). We would recommend Minffordd for a large party. The 2 attic bedrooms would suit ...

“We had a lovely Christmas at Minffordd with extended family.”

On Christmas Day our ages ranged from 2-93 and we were all happy. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out and bedrooms airy and comfy too. Kitchen was well equipped too. And great to be able to get straight out on dog walks without the need to get in a car. Really great place for multi family stays.

“Lovely comfortable spacious holiday house, great for a family of 3 generations plus 2 dogs (an older lurcher and a middle-aged greyhound).”

Fabulous location near the most beautiful walks around Newborough nature reserve. The owners were very lovely, very helpful. We had a really great time and would highly recommend this house. (I'm adding a useful note for people with dogs who might want to know how secure the garden is: - we were not entirely confident that our large dogs could not jump/step over the wall at the front of the house (which faces straight onto the main road through the village), so we did not let them off-lead in the first part of the garden. This maybe ideal for smaller dogs though. There is also a very large lovely secluded garden (big enough for kids to play football) beyond the gate which we did let them run around while supervised - this is mainly very high hedges, with a small section of fencing / gates of about 4 foot. The very back boundary of the property is a bank with a small wire fence across the top, very overgrown with shrubs and weeds so my two more sensible older dogs did not attempt to push through, but if you have younger, smaller, more determined dogs or you visited in the winter months when the vegetation had died back you would need to be careful that your dogs do not escape through here. I hope that this information is useful, but please check first as each dog is different! Our dogs had a fabulous holiday and loved having some garden to run around)

Emilie March 2023

The Garden is perfect for dogs and fully enclosed. The owners are lovely and very responsive.

- Emilie, March 2023
Brian February 2023

“We very much enjoyed our stay.”

The house was an excellent, easy to get to, base for Newborough Beach and many local attractions which the Grandchildren visited. It has a great layout for several families getting together with 3 shower rooms all with toilets and a lovely spacious dining room off the well equipped kitchen. Dogs were well catered for and could be kept in the utility room which has its own outside door into the very large garden. David, the owner, was easy to contact, helpful and flexible.We would recommend staying here and even had a Red Squirrel visiting the garden !

- Brian, February 2023
Leigh December 2022

Lesley August 2022

“We had an amazing holiday in this beautiful spacious house, quite good that we could put my teenage grandsons in the 2 very big attic rooms!”

! Fantastic huge garden, due to brilliant weather we were able to sit out and bbq, whilst the children, and the dads!! played ball games. Just a 5 minute drive to the amazing Newborough beach and Island, it felt and looked like we were in the Caribbean! Well stocked shop just a few houses down the road, and an excellent chip shop with the biggest fish ever, everything we ordered cooked to order and big portions, very good value for money.

- Lesley, August 2022
Rosalind August 2022

“We had a great week.”

The location was perfect for us and we enjoyed the walk through the nature reserve to the pristine Newborough Beach (worth noting this takes about an hour). The large garden was great for the kids playing football, and for sitting outside to eat. The property felt spacious - large rooms, plenty of bathrooms, two living rooms etc. it was very handy having a shop & pub within 5 minutes walk. I was very grateful to David for posting back some items we accidentally left in the house. We’d stay again

- Rosalind, August 2022
Janet July 2022

“Excellent accommodation.”

Good layout to house and garden. Plenty of kitchen ware (though consideration to younger guests would be welcome eg unbreakable beakers) It was wonderful to have 2 fridges with 10 guests staying.

- Janet, July 2022
James July 2022

“Communication with the owner was easy and efficient.”

House met all our needs we would certainly go again.

- James, July 2022
Tony July 2022

“Easy booking system, Property as described.”

- Tony, July 2022
Linda June 2022

“Great place for a family holiday - lots of space and a perfect location for exploring Anglesey.”

The garden was ideal for games and perfect for children and dogs. The owner was very approachable and friendly.

- Linda, June 2022
Peter April 2022

“Comfortable house.”

The listing pictures don't do the space justice. The breakfast table in the kitchen is a bit of a tight squeeze and a narrower island would be perhaps more practical. Otherwise there was loads of space for the 8 of us and could easily accommodate 10 adults. We loved the fact that none of the bathrooms were en-suite as we were a group of friends rather than a family. We would definitely consider going back again

- Peter, April 2022
Fiona April 2022

“An excellent property: spacious, comfortable, tastefully decorated.”

We had everything we needed in the house.

- Fiona, April 2022
Isabel February 2022

“A very well equipped and spacious house, ideal for large family gatherings.”

- Isabel, February 2022
Sophie December 2021

“Lovely property with comfortable beds, great facilities and lots of equipment.”

Nearby Newborough beach is beautiful- we can’t wait to return and spend more time in the area.

- Sophie, December 2021
Linda December 2021

“Lovely Victorian house lots of space for the children .”

Mattresses need replacing especially on the single beds .Owner very helpful and pleasant .A good time was had by all the family Thank you David We would certainly consider coming back again

- Linda, December 2021
Brenda September 2021

“An amazing house with everything catered for.”

Brilliant hosts who looked after our every need. Have travelled to Anglesey many times over the last ten years but this house became our number one "go to" for cleanliness, space (inside and outside),ideally situated for beaches, eating spots, superb chippie on doorstep. 99/100. Lost point due to driveway very narrow, car came home with some nasty bruises.

- Brenda, September 2021
Gillian August 2021

“The house gave us everything we needed for our long awaited family gathering.”

A fab time was had by all exploring the island & discussing our day over dinner in the evening.

- Gillian, August 2021
Rowena August 2020

“Excellent location for walks on the beach and in the forest.”

The house has everything you could need and was in an ideal location.

- Rowena, August 2020
Michael August 2020

“Great place to stay plenty of room, great facilities big garden.”

A large dining room for ten people with loads of space. close to shop and pub. Ideal location for a lot of tourist places. Stunning beach nearby and Red Squirrel reserve. Plenty of nice walks. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends.

- Michael, August 2020
Sam July 2020

“Great location, you can get out and about walking into the forest and down to the beach without taking the car.”

Parking is tight on the drive, unless you have a small car I wouldn’t try it! The garden is super, so much space and nice to lie down and watch the *massive* sky and beautiful sunsets. The kitchen is really well equipped, we were cooking for 7 and there lots of serving dishes and big trays etc. Dining room/conservatory was my favourite room, spacious, big table, played lots of games on there. 3 shower rooms, luxury. Can’t wait to go back.

- Sam, July 2020
Richard July 2020

“A couple of plumbing problems that the owner responded to immediately and Covid caused a number of closures and restrictions in the area.”

Otherwise we had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday and could not fault the cottage which fully suited our requirements. Our only complaint was the difficulty in contacting your staff prior to our holiday and arranging for our booking to be brought forward by one week. We also found your endless bombardment with general advertising e-mails annoying - we only wanted e-mails about our specific booking! We now have a credit balance of £415 on our account, and as our booking has been satisfactorily completed, we request that this sum is refunded directly to our credit card during the next few days. Richard Wood.

- Martin, December 2019
Kirsty August 2019

“Really beautiful home, well looked after with everything we needed and more (homemade fruit cake!”

- Kirsty, August 2019
Patricia August 2019

“Lovely house.”

Loads of room inside and outside. Well equipped, we wanted for nothing. The owners are lovely people and very helpfull. House is situated ideally for the beautiful beach just 5 mins drive away, also a lively walk through the woods to the beach. Thank you David and Fiona.

- Patricia, August 2019
Lisa May 2019

“The house was beautiful with plenty of room for the whole party to relax.”

We had 4 children with us from 6yr old down to 1yr old and the huge garden was perfect for them to run and burn off their excess energy. The weather was unfortunate but there were plenty of rainy day games available. Overall a fantastic booking I would use again for a larger group.

- Lisa, May 2019
Barbara May 2019

“We are a family of 10, 3 generations and all enjoyed our holiday.”

The house was large and warm and suited our needs, we especially liked the conservatory with the large dining table to hold all of us for meals. We also enjoyed the large gardens, ideal for ball games. The only difficulty we had was with the narrow drive.

- Barbara, May 2019
Sarah October 2018

“Great location for the beach, sand dunes and forest.”

Really warm, spacious house.

- Sarah, October 2018
Dave September 2018

“A beautiful Victorian property in a great location, and a refreshing nights sleep in a really comfy bed.”

The house has all you could need and the owners are warm welcoming people who make you feel like you’ve known them forever.

- Dave, September 2018
Paul July 2018

“The gardens were very impressive.”

Secure for the children, they could have their area and we had ours. Bedrooms were big , bathroom downstairs handy with children. Super location on Angelsey .

- Paul, July 2018
Elisabeth June 2018

“Being an extended family of 10 spanning three generations this holiday home was excellent and was as good as advertised.”

We were comfortable although one bed in the attic was a tad lumpy for an adult. I did mention to David that blackout blinds would help in the bedrooms as at this time of year it's daylight for approximately 18 hours and the children aren't always aware that they don't need to get up with the birds when on holiday!!! Except for these two points it was a great destination and would not hesitate recommending to my friends.

- Elisabeth, June 2018
Rachel May 2018

“Minffordd is a beautiful family house with plenty of room for a large group.”

The children loved the garden and all the hiding places in the house to play hide and seek! The owners of the house Dave and Fiona are very friendly and helpful. We used the BBQ facilities and we were blessed with fantastic weather for an extra special weekend.

- Rachel, May 2018
Yvonne April 2018

“As an extended family of nine we chose this lovely big house for a stay in Anglesey and were not disappointed.”

It had everything we needed and more; from two fridges and a large cooker through to large dining table, three shower rooms and a delightful garden. Plenty of kitchen equipment meant that even the children were able to do a bit of cooking which they all loved. The house was big enough to house all nine of us with plenty of room to play, watch TV or read and to invite family and friends for meals. A forest car park is just minutes down the road where we enjoyed a ten mile walk through forest, sand dunes and beaches to the beautiful Llandwyn Island, voted the favourite activity of the holiday. David was the perfect host and we look forward to staying at Minfordd in the future.

- Yvonne, April 2018
Carol April 2018

“The owner was great and Checked in with us to see if there was anything that we needed.”

- Carol, April 2018
Stephanie November 2017

“Very accomodating and friendly owner.”

Lovely big house, ideal for families. Well equipped and very comfortable beds. Perfectly situated for 20 minute walk to beach. Landlord provides parking ticket for beach car park. Very safe enclosed garden for pets. Sheep in adjoining field. Only negative is beware of the very narrow drive into the property car parking spaces, tricky even with a small car . Easily scratch the car on wall and house.
