“We had an absolutely fabulous time.”

The cottage was lovely and the views spectacular. Wish I lived there! The owner was so friendly and helpful. And Paddy the dog was a star. Definitely recommend this property if you love the piece and quiet.

“Lovely hosts, lovely cottage, beautiful scenic view.”

“An excellent place, beautiful scenery from the patio area, very quiet and peaceful, beautiful well kept grounds.”

The cottage is very spacious and everything you need is supplied. I haven't given a 10 for the cleanliness as there were cobwebs on the lights and thick dust on the skirting, everything else was fine. I would say that the lighting in the bedrooms at the rear could do with being brighter, lighting in the bathroom also which was quiet dark despite the spotlights, could be an issue for people with some visual impairment. Would defiantly book this cottage again, the owners are very nice, always helpful and there were Welsh cakes and milk provided when we arrived.

“A fabulous property and the owners were so attentive.”

On arrival they welcomed us into the property and were so lovely. I was poorly part way through the stay and they offered us lots of help and support. We would 100% return to this property. Rachel, James & Girls

“Chellow Cottage is a wonderfully cosy welcoming space with great views of Caernarfon Castle and the surrounding countryside.”

It is on the Wales Coastal path and a short drive to Newborough Forest and Beach which has great guided walks. Sadly we didn’t see any red squirrels! The cottage itself is warm and the kitchen well appointed. The laundry with a tumble dryer is an added bonus. The beds are very comfortable and we had no problem sleeping as it’s so peaceful. The spacious living area with a wood burning stove and enormous tv was a lovely area to unwind at the end of a busy day! Hilary and Mike are on hand with help if needed and advice about the local area which they know well. Dogs are welcome and ours loved all the walks and dog friendly businesses nearby. We will definitely book again. Some people may expect a hairdryer if I’m being really picky (I always take my own!)

- Gillian, March 2024
Paul December 2023

“An excellent property, fitted out with all the comforts of home.”

Nice and warm in December. Situation on the coats path is good for walks, with the beach is just 10 mins walk away and Newborough a few mins drive. Only minor point was the lack of a 'normal' welcome pack.

- Paul, December 2023
Deborah October 2023

“We had a fantastic week.”

A lovely house with excellent hosts. The scenery was beautiful and we even saw a red squirrel in the garden. Ideal for anyone who wants a quiet, relaxing holiday.

Claire October 2023

“Warm, clean, welcoming, well equipped cottage.”

Lots of room for 5 of us. Weather was amazing for end of October. Views of the mountains spectacular with Yr Wyddfa’s peak visible on a number of occasions. Red squirrels scampering around outside the cottage windows. Beautiful early morning walk through the fields and swimming in the sea at almost empty beaches. Enjoyable visits to nearby attractions for the grandchildren. Crabbing is the new hobby! Hope to be back again. Thanks to Hilary and Mike.

- Claire, October 2023

Sally July 2023

“Had a very enjoyable weeks stay here.”

Three generations, grandparents, daughter, son in law, two small children and two dogs! Accommodation all on ground level which made it easy and plenty of room for children to run about. Grandparents one end with a lovely big bed and en suite and younger ones the other end of building with their own bathroom. Food delivery from Waitrose made catering very easy with lots of cleaning things kindly provided by the owners. Lots of places on the island and nearby to visit, helps if your National Trust members. Anglesey riding stables (my 4 year old grand daughter loved it!), Sea Zoo (ticket valid for 6 days too) and beautiful beaches and castles to visit and enjoy. Can’t recommend enough.

- Sally, July 2023
Alan June 2023

“A friendly welcome from Hilary and a lovely cottage.”

Well placed for a combination of peace and tranquility and access to the rest of Anglesey. Well appointed - nothing missing - a great base in Anglesey.

Luke May 2023

“Wonderful spot.”

Peaceful. We were lucky with the weather - warm for May. Enjoyed the fantastic views, having our breakfast on the table outside the house. Good location for access to lots of great beaches, castles etc. Nice walk with the kids from the house over stepping stones to the miniature village. Lovely spacious and comfortable cottage. Only thing it might need is a smarter TV. Would happily return.

- Luke, May 2023
Derek May 2023

Chris April 2023

“Great stay at this excellent location with superb views.”

Bird watchers paradise, together with rare Wildlife (red squirrels). Accommodation extremely comfortable, clean and well maintained. Owners on hand at all times should they be required. Nice little touches on arrival - fresh milk in the fridge, welsh cakes and a vase of daffodils on the table! Easily controlled heating should the weather turn cold! Would thoroughly recommend this property for a relaxing peaceful holiday. General Information. Groceries available at Waitrose supermarket at Menai bridge. (roughly 20 minutes drive). If you have a delivery pass, Sainsbury will deliver to this property.

Claire October 2022

“Wow! We all loved our half term break at Tan Twr-Chellow Cottage (Four adults and 2 children).”

Such fantastic views of mountains and sea, green fields, cows, sheep and red squirrels. A lovely warm, clean, well equipped cottage. Not far to walk to the sea on footpaths through countryside. Great open space for all of us to relax and hang out. Terrific location for the fabulous Anglesey beaches we visited, and also the local historic sites. Near lots of attractions for the children too. Hilary, our host, was very welcoming and helpful. Thank you.

- Claire, October 2022
Nicholas October 2022

“We loved the cottage and the wonderful views, nor least the group of red squirrels that visited the garden.”

The accommodation was bright and spacious and the surroundings restful and quiet. Hilary and Mike and their lovely dog were very friendly and helpful. We are already planning to go back to this lovely corner of Anglesey.

- Nicholas, October 2022
D October 2022

“Our third time here and just booked for September.”

The cottage is spacious, clean , well maintained. It has everything you need. The location is perfect, the views across to the mountains are just lovely, watching the red squirrels in the garden is a bonus. Hilary and Mike are lovely and helpful.

- D, October 2022
Andrew September 2022

“Excellent cottage that easy to find & with fabulous views over menia toward,s caenarfon/castle & snowdonia mountain range.”

Cottage very modern and spotlessly clean with all you need. Field,s/path are next to the cottage for a nice stroll with our dog on a lead every morning & evening. Location could not be faulted with newborough only a short 7 min,s drive away, the cottage owners hilary & mike are very friendly and really helpful. We did not want to leave and would have stayed longer as it was perfect. We Would whole heartedly recommend and hope to return again ourselves. Many thank,s Andrew, donna & lola.

- Andrew, September 2022
John July 2022

“Chellow Cottage was comfortable, well appointed and entirely suitable for our party of four adults and two young children.”

We had a memorable holiday and found the location ideal for enjoying the beaches and historic sites of Anglesey and the mainland. Mike and Hilary are splendid hosts and we would love to return sometime in the future. In the meantime, we can thoroughly recommend the cottage to anyone who would enjoy the privacy and peace of the countryside and enviable views of Snowdon.

- John, July 2022
Paula June 2022

D October 2020

“What a find, beautiful cottage , very comfortable and warm, great views.”

The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing week away. Felt very safe here during the Covid pandemic, the cottage was spotless, clear instructions left by the owner on what to do when we left. the owners were very friendly and let us know to contact them if we needed anything. My new favourite place to stay , we will be booking again.

- D, October 2020
Ryan September 2020

“We had a fabulous time at the cottage and found that the owners had done everything for us to have a safe and happy time during COVID.”

The views over to the mountains are fabulous and it provided the perfect base for our adventure holiday in North Wales. Anyone visiting at the moment should be aware that many of the soft furnishings and books etc have had to be removed, so the cottage can be effectively cleaned to keep everyone safe. So keep that in mind, take some books/games with you and you will have a great time. If you want somewhere quiet, where you can get away from the world for a week, book this cottage. We really didn’t want leave and will be back as soon as we can.

- Ryan, September 2020
Helen September 2020

“Just returned from a week in Chellow Cottage.”

It was very reassuring to know the cottage had been double cleaned prior to our arrival and every effort had been made to ensure our safety, including a wall mounted hand sanitiser by the door and guidance for leaving the cottage Covid safe for the next occupants. The cottage itself was open-plan, extremely roomy and with everything we required for a comfortable stay. Outside the cottage was set in striking countryside with a wonderful view of Snowdonia and Caernarfon Castle in the foreground. The owners were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. We hope to visit again very soon. Good communication from Sykes.

- Helen, September 2020
Tim August 2020

“Heating system was not working, wasn’t really needed as mild week, but there was times we’d have liked a little boost temp wise.”

Covid-19 adjustments are understandable but should be made absolutely clear before arrival. bbq was one thing we planned on being able to use had didn’t have use of. Host was very friendly and helpful. Free access to Newborough beach a real bonus.

- Tim, August 2020
Christopher December 2019

“Comfortably accommodates six people and perfectly located for Newborough beach and only a short drive to Menai.”

The owners are on hand and made us very welcome. Great views of Snowdonia range from the cottage.

- Christopher, December 2019
Jennifer November 2019

“Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful location.”

Amazing views of Snowdonia and Caernarvon.

- Jennifer, November 2019
Glynn October 2019

“Another weeks stay in this cottage, all on a level so suitable for my disabled father.”

Plenty of room in this cottage with lovely views over the Snowdonia mountain range. Well equipped so was able to have friends over for dinner in the evening. The cottage is very comfortable and warm so we had no need to light the log burner. We had very good weather for the time of year so was able to wash and hang out our washing to dry. Great treat to have a dishwasher, quicker to relax after meals. The owner of the cottage is close by and is very friendly, she is willing to help you out if there is anything you need, so do not hesitate to ask. We hope to be back to this location again xx

- Glynn, October 2019
Andrea August 2019

“Beautiful, well kept entrance and driveway Great views from the cottage and direct access to the coastal way footpath.”

Spacious and comfortable, plenty of logs for the woodburner and fluffy towels. Comfortable beds. Friendly, helpful owner and lovely welcome bottle of wine. External areas for the farmyard area in front of Chellow cottage could do with a general tidy up. Flower pots on the patio itself were pretty though.

- Andrea, August 2019
Philip August 2019

“The owners, Mike and Hilary, were very welcoming and helpful with their local knowledge.”

My only criticism is that the Menai cottage description mentions "Three bedrooms: 1 x super king ensuite (zip/link option can be made up as a twin), 1 x double, Ensuite shower, WC and basin" This is confusing as it says three but then only lists two bedrooms (1 x super king ensuite and 1 x double) I can confirm that there are definitely 3 bedrooms. Also only one bedroom has ensuite facilities! The other two share a fully equipped bathroom.

- Philip, August 2019
Jan 2019

“A first class accommodation with magnificent views over the Menai Straits.”

Fully equipped with everything that is required to support your stay. The installed log burner is a bonus helping to further enhance the lounge area already centrally heated. The cottage is sited close to a series of nature walks including the beach at Newborough which makes the stay perfect. The cottage owners are great hosts and provide every support required and make the stay very relaxing.

The property

This carefully restored farm building retains much of its original character - even its name, Chellow, recalls one of its long-gone bovine inhabitants! "Named after one of the cows that used to be milked here!

A lovely spacious house in a splendid setting." Chellow Holiday Cottage sits in a splendid location and has been refurbished to a very high standard to provide warm, contemporary accommodation.

The views stretch over open fields towards the Menai Strait and Caernarfon Castle - a stunning sight when it is floodlit in the evenings, with the backdrop of Snowdon and the twinkling lights of the hillside villages. Chellow Cottage is located next to Tan Twr Farm Cottage.

This is a private, converted farm where privacy between each cottage is highly valued.

Alternatively, these two cottages would make a fantastic venue for a large group of guests holidaying together.
