Windygates

Lovely holiday, thanks.

Our favourite place to stay in Rhosneigr. Great location and private parking. Look forward to returning later in the year.

Absolutely beautiful location can’t fault that view, but the apartment itself wasn’t the best.

It was looking shabby and tired, the shower room wasn’t great , its was freezing cold , the towel heater didn’t work at all so nowhere to hand/dry towels after showering , thank god for the drying rack on ceiling in dining room , electric radiators worked but everywhere was cold , definitely a major draft coming through living room window , blind on left window in front bedroom didn’t work when it came down it wouldn’t go back up , no guest comforts at all , no welcome pack so couldn’t have a hot drink till we had unpacked and walked to the shop on the whole very disappointing and we came home early , thank you for having us stay though we won’t be back

Share with future guests— We love Windygates as it suits my husband mobility problems, our dog walking needs and the wonderful location.

This was not our first stay, have stayed here 5/6 times during the last 10 years.

Whilst the location is without a doubt its main feature, the only thing that has changed in the property is the bed in the front bedroom. The pillows most definitly need replacing

Love Windygates.

It’s like a second home.

There are bits we absolutely loved about windygates.

The location is fantastic- being able to step outside onto the beach was fabulous- especially with small children. We loved the period feel & original features, such as the original cupboards, ceiling clothes rack, bay windows. The kitchen is small, but functional (the dining room would make a much better kitchen - with the kitchen being a utility/bootroom. Obviously this is a cost/work implication). There are bits that are in desperate need of attention and actually felt quite grubby. Such as staining to cushions (especially the window seats) - even a bits of mould. the 2nd bedroom - headboards hanging off, the beds/bedding again feel grotty and old. The bed in the main room is very comfy, BUT, all the pillows (in both rooms) need replacing asap as they’re all flat & unsupportive. There were only 2 cereal type bowls & no bread knife. The kitchen needs a dishwasher as the water pressure is really low. Great to have the use of a washing machine. The shower tray fills up with water really quickly & the hoover was terrible, it barely picked anything up, meaning that sand was really hard to clean in the kitchen, these are the kind of things that really give me the ick. the whole place needs a freshen up & could do with a paint. I would consider staying here again - just for the location, but like I say, I needs input to bring it up to scratch.

we had a fantastic time at windygates.

the location couldn’t be better as it’s right on the beach and in the middle of the village. we will definitely be returning.

Great location, incredible views and close to everything you could need.

We love it here and look forward to returning.

Windygates offers us a perfect getaway with cosy accommodation and great local facilities, not to mention a beautiful beach at the bottom of the garden. We intend to keep coming every year so please don't tell anyone else about it

Once again a lovely stay in Windygates with its inherent charm and period character.

Perfect for lovers of the outdoors, fantastic location on the beach, very functional layout and suitably equipped apartment. A range of services are a few minutes walk including bar / restaurant, post office and general store, chop shop, chemist etc.

Windygates is a big roomy house, with the exception of the kitchen which is frustratingly small with very little room to work, the utensils and crockery are very limited, we were a party of four and only had three plates, 3 cups plus an odd one just as an example, the shower room is also very cramped and the whole place is in dire need of a facelift.

A small gate at the bottom of the yard would make it secure so the dogs could be let out without having to be on leads. On the good side the beds are comfy and the living area is spacious but the thing that brings people back is its location the views are spectacular and the sunsets amazing. Would we go back Mmmm, probably that view is addictive.

Just love this place ❤️ Been staying there on and off for last 30 yrs?

and we have just rebooked on our return for next year.

Caretaker & Owner very helpful.

The location is great, However the flat is in need of a major refurb plus the kitchen is in the entrance way very cramped & narrow and the shower plus toilet is in a 'cupboard' & the sink is in the end of the corridor!!! The sink in the 'bathroom' and the kitchen did not get hot water for ages - I never managed to get hot water in the bathroom sink in the whole week. They both, as they are, need a seperate under sink hot water supply. But really the dinning area should be made into a proper bathroom and possibly kitchen. I would suggest the cost for a week in November is 40% more tha it is worth.The property could be amazing if modified & refurbed to a good standard. I wouild not return in the current condition even though I loved the beach etc.....

I've been looking forward to staying here for a long time and it didn't disappoint.

We booked for proximity to the beach and it was perfect for that. We were happy with the quirkiness of the property as it was expected after reading the listing and feedback. If I was to suggest a few small improvements then I'd suggest an electric blanket as the front bedroom is chilly (we prefer not to put the heating on, which we understand is a personal preference) so this would help, as would a larger sized duvet on the bed (there was a king sized duvet but it was in a double cover). Big changes I'd love a king sized bed as a double is a tight squeeze when your husband is 6'4"m ;-) Overall it's a lovely property in a stunning location and I wouldn't hesitate in returning. Really loved our stay and are very grateful that you share this property with others - we're coming back next year! PS. You need a new visitors book, it's full.

The property has super ‘sunset’ views over to Holyhead mountain with access directly to the beach from the garden.

As an older house it has the potential to be cold but the night storage heating worked well keeping us warm. Light the open fire on three nights but more for effect than warmth. Furnishings are in character with the property which makes Windygates the character property that it is. Yes it has its imperfections but that’s what we love.

Whilst the location of this accommodation is brilliant as it is right on the beach, the maintenance of the property is definitely in need of attention

Wonderful location.

No complaints there. Wonderful weather. No complaints there.

Location perfect.

We appreciate the antique furniture at Windygates but in truth the place needs a good clean. The knives, forks etc need replacing and pint glasses would be useful. The electric hob has seen better days. First holiday home we have ever stayed that didn’t have pillow protectors and a dubious under sheet on the double bed. If an on going improvement plan is in place it must have come to a standstill.

Lovely location with views and nice and roomy.

..Perfect beech property for us with privacey & loads of space for parking and big garden.

Fabulous location Wonderful house and garden Enjoyed it very much

Ah Windygates, the bed is comfy, the view amazing.

The kitchen really needs a makeover, earwiggy things on surface/in bread bin. Please Mr Windygates sort it out.

We love this property.

Its facilities, location and accessibility is fantastic.

Great setting as you can walk straight on to the beach from the back garden - first time on Anglesey and would go again - went in November so could have done with more bed clothes for the double bed - fantastic views from living room and main bedroom and lots of space - loved the property but some things a bit basic such as wardrobe a bit musty and electric fire in living room needs attention

We love the house and it’s location, and this was our second stay in 18 months.

Stunning views and access to the beach. We enjoyed our stay. Lovely and warm too! However property is in need of some investment. We are happy with basic but sadly wouldn’t return as things stand. Furniture, fittings and decor all tired and it must be so hard for cleaners to maintain.

Beds not comfortable.

The place is tired. Yet priced at the top end

Tired, Dirty,Restricted,Uncomfortable.

The only thing in its favour was its position with the garden leading to the beach.

I have been renting in Rhosneigr for 40 years and this may be my favourite location!

We had a fantastic stay and the garden access to beach was perfect for the children. We have booked for next half term and would love to come in August 2024. A couple of things like a salad bowl would have been nice and perhaps some updated cutlery as some of the pieces were quite flimsy. But only tiny things. We loved our stay and enjoyed meeting the neighbours too.

The property is in a lovely position ideal for a beach holiday and my dogs loved it , however the house could do with a deep clean and bringing up to date , another comfortable chair would also be good .

We did enjoyed our stay and would go back again .

The house is as usual a pleasure to stay in great location larger TV would be nice but not what you go on holiday for.

All in all wonderful

Wonderful property of its age.

We love it here and already booked for next year .

Windygates is a wonderful property.

The combination of the property itself, ample local facilities, lovely garden and incredible access to the delightful beach is hard to match.

Fabulous winter break.

House is comfortable and fabulously located. Furniture etc a little dated but adds to the charm. Dogs had a fabulous time as well.

This is the 2nd time this year we have stayed here the property is in a prime location being right on the beach but could do with a bit of love and money spending on it as it is starting to look quite worn and used .

saying that we still love to holiday here .Pat Smith

The hot water tap in the kitchen needs attention, as the flow of the water causes it splash everywhere.

The shower cubicle had mould around the bottom of the tiles. The bed dipped in the middle so much that I slept sideways and my husband slept in one of the other beds. We left a day sooner, as we were packing one of our dogs went under the bed, that was when we discovered that the centre support legs on the bed were not in the correct position. We did not use the wardrobes as they smelled like urine. We found someone else’s clothes in one of the drawers. We didn’t bother unpacking, just lived out of our suitcases. This was our 3rd stay and we were very disappointed as we do love location. Definitely not worth what we paid. Yes there have been improvements, they just don’t cancel out the smell of urine/drains within the property (as soon as we walked in it was noticeable). The bed setup was most definitely the worst as a bad nights sleep makes things worse.... Wether you publish this feedback is up to you. But sadly we were not satisfied customers this time.

Property is in a great location and the resort is good

We have been to this house for 5 years and always find it very comfortable without being luxurious which suits us.

The views are stunning over the bay and there are several excellent venues in the village for food. We will be booking again next year and am looking forward to it already having just come back.

The cottage has a fabulous location and of course the weather helped enormously.

Fab location.

Accommodation could do with updating but had everything you needed for a comfortable stay

Location was brilliant but the house needs some TLC.

Shower kept going hot and cold and the bathroom was small . I think it would be better with a king size bed !!! . Having said that the views were fantastic and very close to amenities. Just needs sprucing up a bit .

While we don't go on holiday to watch TV a slightly larger one would be useful for us older guests on the odd time you do, but all in al it is excellent accommodation

What it lacks in "modern conveniences" eg dishwasher, double glazing throughout , it makes up for in location, cosiness, space and feeling of old fashioned comfort.

Great cottage with spectacular sea view

It was just perfect in every way

The location of Windygates is perfect.

Walk across the lawn and you are on the beach. Broad Beach to the left and Valley to the right. Crazy wind and kite surfers to watch from the warmth of the cottage on windy days, The cottage is well named!

Wonderful location.

Clean accommodation. Ideal for our dogs who sleep outside in the shed and love the garden.

Super location but the property was looking a little tired so we were delighted this time to find it was receiving someTLC.

Mainly the location.

Right on the beach is perfect for me! It's cosy, clean, spacious, quiet and comfortable with all the facilities l require.l like the casual, retro feel to the place and the views are wonderful. lt's handy being virtually in the village and easy access.

Great location, house and view.

And all from the bay window bedroom! Seriously. Pull back the curtains in the morning and you have the whole bay/beach in front of you and you cant be seen. Needs a new kettle and cooker though.
