“Cabbage patch is a beautiful cosy cottage .”

In a perfect location for walking or just relaxing

In a perfect location for walking or just relaxing

- Mr Burdis, September 2020
“Everything.”

Dirty, shabby, tatty, unkempt. I have sent an email to yourselves, as usual an automated response, not good enough. Health and hygiene should have been a priority, disgusting. In view of the current situation regarding coronavirus we have been compromised and will not recommend you to anyone. If this is what you have to offer for £750 a week, totally unacceptable.

- Ms Parker, August 2020

I understand that some items required maintenance upon your arrival and I am pleased that we were able to resolve these for you. Unfortunately no cleaning concerns had been raised at the time. Cabbage Patch is a very unique property which we understand is not to everyone's taste. Owner relations
“It was a lovely break and we loved the space.”

We were a bit apprehensive going away since Covid and we were so impressed with the cleanliness of the property. We were welcomed with fantastic welsh snacks and tea and coffee. Our dog was well looked after with the little garden space. A cosy and lovely stay next to the sea!

- Mrs Shaw, August 2020
“Hob not working.”

Little room in kitchen area to work. Local pub/restaurant closed. No other local eateries. Noisy people in adjoining house, only thin wall between our bedroom and their place. Rude locals.

- Mrs Caddick, July 2020

Cabbage Patch is a cosy little retreat, that does join up with the larger Plas next door. We don't usually have any problems with noise so we are sorry to hear you were disturbed. The hob is brand new and since been tested with no faults. The instructions are left in the property in case needed. Rhoscolyn is a beautiful and peaceful village which is part of its charm. I can now confirm that The White Eagle is open and if you are looking for more options to eat out, Trearddur Bay and Valley are just a short drive away. Owner relations
“Absolutely fantastic week in the Cabbage Patch!”

The property is located ideally for a short walk up to the coastguard station and Rhoscolyn Bay, and longer walks to Trearddur and South Stack along the coast. Cabbage Patch offers that perfect balance of cosy comfort, with a log burner good to go and all the equipment needed to light, as well as a lovely view and great little garden to enjoy your morning coffee or indeed, afternoon rose! Couldn't recommend more highly and hope we can book next year. Also the cleanliness standards were fantastic and felt really comfortable visiting during a pandemic.

- Mr Parker, July 2020
“Great location and a lovely cottage”

- Mrs Hicks, February 2020
“A charming little cottage set in wonderful surroundings.”

A lovely place to relax and unwind.

- Mr Biggs, February 2020
“The induction cooker hob didn't work properly, everytime we wanted to use the hob we had to turn the cooker off at the mains and switch it back on again for each ring.”

There were only 2 saucepans the size of my hand to cook a Christmas dinner, and for some reason 3 frying pans and 3 sieves. There was a box with cling film and tin foil under the sink as there was on the previous 3 Christmas's we have stayed at your cottages, however on Christmas day when we went to use the foil, there was approximately 3" of foil NOT enough to cover my joint. When I went to cut my Xmas vegetables with "ALL 5 KNIVES " in the knife block there wasn't 1 which was useable, my veg were either crushed or shredded. The dust on top of the plug sockets behind the bedside tables is thick as it is against the skirting behind the bedside tables. The tops of the bedside tables are both damaged, the lampshade on the lamp nearest to the bathroom is broken and has spikes sticking out of the top of the shade. The seating in the livingroom was uncomfortable last year and is even more uncomfortable this year. There was a smell in the bathroom when we arrived which seemed to linger for the week we were there. Although we have spent the last 3 Christmases at this cottage I feel that this will be our last, I don't like change and once I find somewhere nice I will keep returning, however if standards slip then I'm afraid I will find somewhere that I'm happy with and with high standards.

“The Cottage is ideal,has everything you could want, the only comments i would make is that the listing does not mention that the TV has an in built DVD player which it has, it could do with a new set of kitchen knives the ones provided are past their best,apart from that difficult to fault the cottage, very peacefull part of the country.”

- Mr Newman, October 2019
“Loved staying at The Cabbage Patch.”

It has everything we need in a perfect location.

- Miss Lynan, October 2019
“Excellent greeting pack.”

Wi-Fi not working. Telephoned and got a quick response but after man called determined was a BT fault. Not repaired whilst we were there. I know these things happen but this was reported by last 2 guests and it should have been dealt with before we arrived. Lovely cottage and location. Also we requested a tablet for dishwasher as some of the pots and pans were not very clean.

- Mr Yarlett, June 2019
“Lovely cottage in beautiful and relaxing setting.”

- Mrs Whittle, June 2019
“The Cabbage Patch is the cutest little place, very convenient for walking and the beautiful Rhoscolyn Bay.”

The features and fittings are just gorgeous. The food we ordered from you was excellent though sadly one of the lamb in suets was all broken up so it overcooked. Slight downsides:- The bed was a bit narrow for us but extremely comfy and we slept well. Only other aspect was that the garden furniture needs a real overhaul. We had to clean it on day one which was not a fun thing to do on holiday. Also TV sound is really poor, like mumblegate! The holiday was perfect. Anglesey is a very special and beautiful island.

- Mr Chantry, June 2019
“3 stars is thanks to the location.”

The cottage itself is tired and lacked basic equipment in the kitchen such as a washing up bowl, a frying pan big enough to make a cooked breakfast (the one there is tiny and breakfast consequently had to be cooked in stages) and teaspoons (2 is not enough). The sofa is extremely uncomfortable and the feathers stick through the material and jab you. There were also many cobwebs. The welcome pack was gratefully received.

“In need of end of season deep clean and paint work flaking off in bedroom and bathroom.”

A great location but a bit of t l c new shower holders and sink drainers and local maps would help .

- ,
“Lovely location however cottage quite scruffy and in need of some attention.”

Dirty scratched pans, flaking paint, dirty windows, messy garden with shrubs blocking what could be a potentially fantastic view. Garden furniture to be ashamed of. on the good side the shower was lovely and the quality of bedding and towels made the stay very comfortable.

- ,
“Really cosy and warm when we turned up which was a lovely touch to the beginning of our trip.”

Nice and clean rooms and cakes, tea and coffee provided on the table on arrival. Lovely touches make all the difference. Beautiful surroundings and close to the town centre if needed, situated opposite a beach a 10 minute walk away. The holiday was perfect and the pup loved it also! The only thing I would comment on is the cupboard in the bedroom is I think next to the neighbours kitchen and dining area, meaning I could hear everything happening. It didn't affect my holiday at all, just a thought for future people staying. Thanks so much :)

“Our sixth visit to the Cabbage patch - our favourite place to unwind and enjoy superb coastal scenery and a great pub.”

- Geoffrey Taylor,
“What a Beautiful cosy cottage, decorated with a lovely Christmas tree, log fire burning and views over the bay!”

! Such a special Christmas, what more could you ask for. Thank you Menai, we will be returning.

- Jane Sutton-Howe,
“The place is excellent but there are a couple of minor issues.”

Firstly there are no oven dishes or casseroles, otherwise well equipped, Secondly there is no way of ventilating the main room other than opening the door. But as I say those are minor issues - the place is outstanding and I will aim to book again in the future

- David Snowden,
“Very cosy and comfortable with a wonderful view from the window.”

Well equipped kitchen. Lights had been left on for our arrival which was very thoughtful. A lovely welcome tray too. Only 4 stars because the light under kitchen cupboard has not been replaced which made it dark.

- ,
“Very nice cottage although the kitchen area was dimly lit and they need some lighting outside .”

We arrived in the evening and couldn't,t see a thing.

- Lisa Daly,
“Clean and functional- very picturesque”

- ,
“Good location, external areas untidy and garden too small”

- J Saunders,
“Lovely cosy, warm, clean cottage perfect for 2 people and our dog.”

Great location for the beach, dog walks and the White Eagle Pub and close to Trearddur Bay. Only point to downgrade review to 4*s is I feel need for new mattress as bed was extremely soft and for a little uncomfortable.

- ,
“Excellent and beautiful location, short walk to the stunning sandy, dog friendly beach and a lovely pub serving good and interesting food.”

accommodation is clean, well designed and very pleasant to be in. Perfect, enclosed rear garden for our dog and lovely views across the bay.

- Jayne Walker,
“A beautifully quaint romantic hideaway in a fabulous part of the country - the only noises were the sheep, the waves and the birds.”

Lovely and clean and welcoming - didn't want to come home

- Jacqui Mellor,
“Cabbage feels a little worn and need of a re-furb”

- ,
“The cottage is perfect for anyone with a dog.”

It’s perfectly comfortable, without being so pristine you worry every time the dog comes in Some things could be improved. Bathroom door sticks, grass needs cutting and it’s almost impossible not to bring gravel in from the passage. Added to the fact that there was no hoover, it was difficult to keep clean during the week. However this sounds negative when in reality we really enjoyed our stay. Bed is supper comfortable and the view is fantastic. Dog walking right outside the front door and a super dog friendly pub just yards away

- Jim Bunce,
“Quirky little cottage which grew on us as the week progressed.”

Major problem with shower cubicle before we arrived could have been a serious issue but a temporary solution was found and didn't spoil the holiday. Some instructions on how to work the central heating timer would have been useful as it took all week to figure it out.

- Anthony Chilton,
“A lovely cosy hideaway, perfect for a romantic retreat or anyone wanting peace and solitude.”

so comfortable and amazingly it felt quite spacious considering it is only really 2 rooms plus en suite. we loved the log burner which brought the room to life in seconds. views to the coast are stunning, and the walk up the hill and onto the coastal path is fantastic. The White Eagle pub less than 5 min walk is superb - food excellent.

- Michelle Abercrombie-Riva,
“Lovely location with great views over to Rhosneigr.”

Easy walk to a fabulous beach and pub. Cottage itself could do with a bit of a facelift although possibly not when guests are there. Workmen turned up at 8am on two mornings which is a bit early for a relaxing holiday.

- Emma Roxburgh,
“Excellent! Very comfortable stay.”

Loved the area and the cottage.

- ,
“Excellent location and we'll presented property.”

Bags of history.

- Norman Elthorpe,
“The cottage is perfect for a "couple", the views from the sitting room and garden across the fields are fabulous of the sea and Rhosneigr.”

The cottage is spotless, on arrival there is a welcome tray of tea, coffee, sugar, cakes and milk. There are plenty of walks around the cottage as well as drives along the coast. This was our 2nd Christmas in this cottage and we weren't disappointed.

- Jane Sutton-Howe,
“Warm and cosy with glorious views”

- Geoffrey Taylor,
“Perfect cottage for two people (and one medium to large dog).”

What I liked: Well maintained - and clear that owners listen to feedback as ‘grips’ from other guests have been dealt with (e.g. there is now a large frying pan - something that was missing for a previous reviewer). Exceptional clean. Well equipped - liked that basics such as kitchen foil, dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid were provided - and welcome tray was very much appreciated. High quality bedding and towels. Views of the bay and mountains in the distance from the large window. Good WiFi and excellent picture on small TV (with basic Sky package) - both a nice touch. Enough space to be more than comfortable, even in the bedroom which was bigger than it looked in the pictures. Secure garden ensuring that our dog could not get out (really important given the number of rabbits and new born lambs immediately outside the property). Fantastic walks / runs on your doorstep (two days we didn’t even use the car). Really nice dog friendly pub five minutes walk away. Super nice locals, including the local farmer who we had a chat with each time we saw him. What I didn’t like: Nothing really - no wardrobe or hangers (although we didn’t really need them and anyway, there wasn’t space for a wardrobe) and the kitchen could do with a garlic press, but that’s about all.

About the location

RHOSCOLYN

Valley 2 miles; Trearddur Bay 3 miles; Holyhead 5 miles.

Located on Holy Island, three miles from Trearddur Bay, Rhoscolyn is a small village with a church and primary school and is the most southerly place on Holy Island. Rhoscolyn also offers an excellent pub on the lane down to the beach, which is renowned for its gastro food, and the beach itself with its slipway, ideal for small dinghies and power boats, is a popular family destination throughout the summer owing to the sheltered cove and gently sloping sands. Also excellent cliff-top walks can be enjoyed and an abundance of wildlife can be seen, often including seals on the headland. Just two miles away is the village of Valley, which has a Post Office, chemist, shops and eating places, plus the nearby resort of Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of the island and is truly beautiful with a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine Blue Flag sandy beaches. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, supermarkets, harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry. Watersports, bathing, sailing, windsurfing and horse riding are the main activities in the summer months, plus golfers will enjoy the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course, and the area is also a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve. An excellent location with plenty to see and do!
