Miss Wilson December 2021

“I stayed at this property with my family over the Christmas period .”

Mrs Hodgson November 2021

“Lovely, clean, modern beach house with stunning views.”

Out of the way but ideal for us with our two dogs. Little touches such as log fire being set up ready to light, dishwasher tablets and hand wash in bathrooms was much appreciated. Comfy beds and plenty space for everyone. Only downside for us was pillows were too soft so take your own if you prefer something firmer

- Mrs Hodgson, November 2021
Mrs Hughes October 2021

“This is the fourth time we have visited Glanrhyd Uchaf and we are booked in to go again in May so l think that speaks for itself.”

We love the house and the position by the inlet that it has. It is comfortable and even in bad weather it is a cosy place to be with beautiful views from all windows. We don't have to go far to visit places like Rhosneigr, Trearddur Bay and lots more in Anglesey. We love it.

- Mrs Hughes, October 2021
Mr Wright September 2021

“We had a fabulous month only marred by 1 thing which will sadly, prevent us from returning.”

Although the single track lane is a little hairy (as, in fairness, are most) once you turn off to the right you really need to be driving a 4x4 or something similar particularly once you reach the farm track since it's really not suitable for a Mazda 6 saloon or any other vehicle with low ground clearance as it's quite overgrown so scrapes hence we only ventured out for essentials which bears testament to the beauty and tranquility of the surroundings and the cottage itself. Breath taking views and RAF Valley was a joy, we were convinced that the pilots were putting on 'fly past' displays just for us. Out thanks to the owner for sharing your property with us

- Mr Wright, September 2021
Mr Helliwell September 2021

“The cottage itself is fabulous with stunning views, but the continual daytime roar of jet planes from the local RAF training base can get a bit irritating after a few days.”

Also, it was lucky that we did not travel to the cottage in our sports car, as this would not have been able to get down the track to the cottage. The description on the website did not mention the state of the track, and the fact that vehicles with low ground clearance would not be able to drive to the cottage without damage or getting stuck. One of the outside doors (Boot Room to Patio) would not lock due to heat expansion, thus rendering parts of the property insecure. We tried to report this but gave up afet 20 minutes hanging on the phone line. Sadly, Menai Cottages is owned by Sykes, and therefore follows the same poor policies on refunds and cancellations.

Mrs Yates June 2021

“The windows were filthy inside and out.”

There was water left in the coffee maker and spillage marks on and down tables that made us unsure of the cleanliness due to covid, considering we couldnt go in until 5.30pm. The entering and leaving times mean that one loses a day of their holiday considering the cost of the rental. Other than that and the unhealthy decibel sound of the aircraft which we accepted and knew about. Maybe sound ear protectors should be at the property. Also people leaving the gate open on several occassions. Now that the negative side is done. The pisitives out weighed them. It was a lovely break and so nice not to have to wear masks for a week. We were fully contained with our supply of homemade meals that we took and all appliances were more than adequate. The weather was amazing and we were able to swim everyday in the private spot at the bottom of the garden. We took our own lounger matresses as it gave no indication of the accommodation having them in the literature and so glad we did as the black mould on the ones on site was really unacceptable. We have stayed at so many of your properties over the years and never had anything negative to say in the past. I think the price reflects in the disappointing expectations. Saying that nothing was ruined and we have returned home with batteries fully charged. Maybe the fact that there is a microwave at the property would be a good addition to the site description.

- Mrs Yates, June 2021

Thank you for your review, we always welcome guests feedback. Firstly, our apologies that our home was not up to the high standards of cleanliness that both you and ourselves expect. I will contact our housekeeper without delay and will address the points that you have raised. The arrival and departure times of 10am and 5pm respectively are, I believe, standard times for Menai Holidays, however I will check this. I will also ask them to add the microwave to our home description. With regards to the aircraft flying in and out of RAF Valley, whilst they can on occasion be noisy, this is the first complaint we have ever had about the planes. In our experience, there are occasional noisy jets flying over, and these are only ever on a Monday to Friday in the daytime, and never during the evenings/night or at the weekends/bank holidays. I am afraid it is something which is out of our control, and we have therefore always made a point of referencing our proximity to RAF Valley in our home description when it is advertised. Aside from these issues, we are glad that you were able to have a lovely stay in our home and that you got to enjoy the wonderful Anglesey sunshine and sea. Property Owner
Miss Hooker May 2021

“We absolutely loved our stay so much and the location was just perfect, we felt relaxed as soon as we arrived.”

The only two minor things I’d suggest (because we had an elderly person staying with us) would be to find a way to stick the rug down under the dining table as it sits upwards and is easy to trip over and offering a slip-free shower mat for use. But only minor things - the place was perfect and exactly what we wanted!

- Miss Hooker, May 2021
Mrs Woodruff May 2021

“Beautiful house, spectacular views from all rooms, extremely comfortable, spacious and inviting.”

Take a pair of wellies as there is a small stream to cross even at low tide. Perfect place that I would highly recommend

- Mrs Woodruff, May 2021
Mr Kelley Quinn April 2021

“A nice comfortable property within the most amazing location with 360 degree views.”

- Mr Kelley Quinn, April 2021
Mr Collier October 2020

“Great property in a great location.”

We took 2 small dogs and the garden was large and secure so they could go out and enjoy themselves whenever they wanted. The access to the beach was great and there was a small area that was accessible apart from when the tide was high. We would take wellies next time as there was a stream even at low tide that was a little too deep to cross to get to the main expanse of sand.

- Mr Collier, October 2020
Mrs Ainley September 2020

“Well equipped accommodation, lovely to have 2 areas to spread out in, some of us sat in the conservatory and some in the main living room which gave us all a bit of space.”

Good amount of quality crockery and pots and pans. Comfy beds and the decor suited the position being nautical themed. The views were breathtaking from all windows and it was lovely to watch the tide coming in and out. We had some lovely swims from the bottom of the garden. We did have one issue with the neighbouring ‘farmer’ but I will update Sykes separately as this was not a problem with the rental property itself. Lovely holiday.

- Mrs Ainley, September 2020
Mrs Rigby July 2020

“We loved our week at Glanryhd Uchaf.”

The house is huge and light and the views are even better than they appear on the photos. We loved coming back after a day out walking along the coast path or visiting one of the many beaches to sit on the sofas and watch the estuary.... Curlews, Oyster Catchers and of course the Kestrel who seemed to be always hunting along the edge of the garden. We walked both ways along the coast path from the garden - lots to see in both directions. Walking south to see the amazing aircraft at RAF Valley and north to the bay near the bridge. Our dog loved the walks on the sand when the tide was out - so much space to run around and when the tide was in we used our kayaks to explore a little further. A week was not nearly enough to do all we wanted to. A huge thank you to the owners who very very kindly let us have their week after ours had to be cancelled due to covid. We were so grateful.

- Mrs Rigby, July 2020
Mr Ingle July 2020

“Trying to contact you ahead of our holiday was a nightmare.”

Many a phone call on hold for an hour and still no answer. Failed to respond to emails asking question, generally not great. The house was as expected and ticked a lot of boxes. I will say though it’s a little rough around the edges and in need of a good paint job. Also a bbq is very much required at a property like this. Overall a good holiday but don’t think the house is worth the price and relies very much on the location to the beach as there is nothing else around it in walking distance.

- Mr Ingle, July 2020
Mrs Buckley February 2020

“A return visit so knew what to expect - was a perfect family weekend away / get together.”

Only disappointment was the cleanliness of all of the bathrooms. We were very disappointed that we had to clean all of the toilets and baths before we could use them and the toilets were dirty (appeared the cleaner had just put toilet cleaner down them and not wiped them) and both baths had hairs and dirt in them.

- Mrs Buckley, February 2020

Thank you very much for your feedback. We are so pleased that you returned to us for your family weekend away and that you had a lovely time. We sincerely apologies that the bathrooms were not up to the high standard of cleanliness that both you and we expect. The issues raised will be addressed immediately. We hope that your disappointment will not put you off visiting us again with your family and friends and enjoying all that Glanrhyd Uchaf has to offer. Property Owner
Ms Jarvis December 2019

“We had an amazing time here, they were really accommodating, making sure there were household items there for when we first arrived, the house was clean and on a beautiful location!”

Although a bit remote! Lovely location right on the seafront the kiddies and dogs had a blast!

Mrs Toovey May 2019

“We all enjoyed our break as the accommodation was perfect only slightly disappointing thing was some of the cleaning was not up to a good standard but understood this to be the cleaning crew.”

Must point out that this did not spoil our break at all.

- Mrs Toovey, May 2019

The property

This fantastic holiday house is all on one level, so perfect for all the family!

Open planned spaces for enjoying your time together, and ample outside space for games and activities.

To top it off you have a private gate which leads you to your very own beach!

"I am in love!

What an amazing holiday house and an amazing spot!

I couldn't think of anywhere better to share a holiday with family and friends." On the west coast of Anglesey, right on the Cymyran Strait, you are greeted with breathtaking views across the water to Holy Island.

The Coastal Footpath passes by the house and I am sure that it is a bird watchers dream!

Whilst the house does not sit alone, it feels like a secret escape!

Just wait and see!

Despite its seclusion, you are only 10 minutes to the nearest village of Valley, with convenience stores, a fantastic butcher and deli as well as a selection of pubs and restaurants.

Why not try Catch 22 Brasserie for a spot of tapas and a cocktail! Popular seaside spots of Rhoscolyn and Trearddur Bay are both a short drive away, in addition to Holyhead for Supermarkets.

Further exploration can be done without hassle with easy access on to the A55. If you need more space for your group, or would like to return with just a few of you, why not look at the neighbouring houses Bwthyn Glanrhyd (sleeps 4) or Glanrhyd Isaf (sleeps 14).
