“Wow”

What an amazing dog friendly cottage on the beach. Very well equipped kitchen. The main bathroom is WOW, free standing bath and wet room shower. The house also has another shower room en-suite and a downstairs toilet so caters well for large groups. Netflix, itv hub and amazon prime available so you are never short of entertainment. Excellent idea to have this available. The setting of the cottage is magnificent, gorgeous sunrises, you won’t be disappointed. The beach itself is 100 metres from ...

Recommend a nice beach stroll to the fabulous sandy mount hotel for drinks and snacks. We shall definitely be returning. Thank you

“The cottage was quite cold at times no info on how to adjust heating eventually found thermostat but even when turned up the radiators barely got hot.”

Front French doors were sticking and difficult to closè

“Exceptional house had everything very comfortable and spotlessly clean, bed linen smelt lovely and fresh.”

The morning view from the master bedroom was stunning, location was superb just steps from the beach. A lovely base for exploring unspoilt beaches and quaint towns. Owner was very helpful and recommended a fabulous walk through a forest that opened onto the most beautiful beach where we watched the sunset. I would rate this property 10/10 for comfort location and views. A gorgeous winter break and we would love to return in the summer 5* thank you

“What a Great place!”

What a Great location! What Great sunsets! Great access to the wonderful beach! Great places to eat - Sandy Mount House and the Oyster Catcher. We were fortunate to have Great weather for September. Cottage is well equipped, clean and spacious. Twin room on the ground floor was great for our elderly parents ( they would have benefited if there had been a ground floor shower room). There were a few niggles - no dryer for beach towels/ clothes - no small cups - element on cooker hanging down and did not appear to work properly - some windows do not open - unable to lock front glass doors with key - difficult to open balcony door - felt it would have been considerate of you to advise us of the building work going on next door. Please take this as constructive criticism. We really had a Great time and will definitely book again. Thank you Menai Holidays!

“We were thrilled with the location of this property, it is the reason we came, generally we felt the property was a little tired, the cushion on the sofa had a hole in with the inner coming out, quite a few items of the crockery were chipped or cracked, on the positive the extent of utensils was fantastic, everything we needed was available, brilliant to have a washing machine, this was used a few times.”

We had an amazing holiday with fab weather, we would use Menai holidays again so please see our remarks as constructive criticism. Many thanks.

“I currently have an official complaint open about the fact we had a building site next door.”
Mr Jones June 2019

“We have stayed here several times and have booked again for later this year.”

We always have a great holiday in this lovely cottage with its fantastic outlook. Highly recommended.
Mr Bytheway June 2019

“We only had one issue - during the week days building of new houses was taking place right next to our rental.”

This spoilt our full enjoyment of the holiday. It would have been good to have been advised of this ahead of us booking/or several months before going.
“The cottage was in a wonderful position over looking the sea and was very comfortable.”

Brilliant place to have a family get together. Lots of fun on the beach it was perfect..

“PlentY of room with excellent facilities good shower rooms plenty of hot water.”

Only suggestion I could make is installation of handrails would be extremely helpful in both showers?
Jayne Chapman

“Cowrie Cottage was amazing and we loved every minute of staying in this delightful property.”

The location was stunning it was great to be able to walk down to the beach every morning and look at the view in the evening, far better than watching the TV. Bedrooms were fab especially the master with the balcony and bathroom made us feel very decandent. A delightful property that we will certainly return to.

“Cowrie cottage has excellent facilities and provided us with a home from home experience.”

We were looking forward to lighting the log fire but on the first night it filled the room with smoke so we were most reluctant to try it again. It seems the glass cover on the door released plumes of smoke making the atmosphere in the room very smoky. We also encountered a leak under the sink in the kitchen on the 6th day, it appeared to be an ongoing problem as a rag was bound round the pipe and kitchen roll already positioned to mop up any spills. We mopped up the water and carried on, as it didn’t look serious.
“Superb location.”

Excellent facilities. A home from home with the added bonus of being 2 minutes walk from the beach, and 10 minutes from Rhosneigr village.
“The cottage was in a prime location and fully equipt, it was warm but had difficulty in working thermostat so it got too hot!”

The cottage could do with a deep clean and some TLC, ensuite bathroom smelt awfully of drains and shower had hair from previous guests in. Main bathroom the bath was grimey ! Difficulty in opening Windows and balcony door in main bedroom. Would I book again - no probably not at this cottage but would at Menai holidays!

“The property was well equipped and furnished to a high standard and in a fabulous location however there were three photos and high quality rattan garden furniture but instead there was a wooden picnic table therefore not as described.”

The cleanliness was poor, inside windows with handprints over them, mushroom growing in the upstairs shower. Toilet roll holder fell off upon arrival, not fixed to wall. Couldn't open most Windows and door locks difficult. No welcome items so was no milk or coffee for your arrival. Garden full of weeds and very unkept compared to other properties in the development. Such a shame, won't be booking this property again.
“We have stayed here before when we rated it higher but it is showing signs of a lack of care and attention which’s expected for a property in that price range.”
“Had the most amazing time the pictures don’t do it justice,it was clean and had everything you need,I will certainly be returning.”

“Lovely - redecorated since we last stayed and looking really nice.”
“Fabulous location!”

A few things need some maintenance to make it perfection!

Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Cowrie Cottage Owner relations

The property

Overlooking the bay at Rhosneigr, Cowrie Cottage the perfect place to relax and watch the sunset from the spacious living area, or enjoy your morning cuppa on the balcony of the master bedroom - bliss! "I have a soft spot for the name and for the house - in a fabulous location where you can walk down to the beach and look for Cowries." The beaches at Rhosneigr are great for families.

They are clean and safe with lovely rock pools, good for making sand castles and a haven for cowrie hunters.

There's a fantastic selection of water sports, or you can just potter about and catch a mackerel. The village centre is a five-minute walk away, with good eating places.

Don't miss the great shop, Gecko, and their gift shop opposite.

This is a really fab holiday house for exploring this corner of North Wales.
