Mr Campbell
December 2021

“A lovely cottage with a great location for the beach, restaurants etc.”

- Mr Campbell, December 2021
Mrs Nicholls October 2021

“The cottage was in a lovely location and we had a great holiday.”

We didn't get to use the back garden but it was a great private area that would be fantastic in the summer. The off road parking was much appreciated. It was absolutely filthy behind the bed but otherwise the rest of the cottage was very clean. I dropped something down the back of the bed and in retrieving it I was disgusted (which isn't like me because I am quite relaxed about cleanliness). The cottage was warm and comfortable. The lack of cutlery and crockery was annoying as it meant that we couldn't use the dishwasher - e.g. 2 bowls and 2 large plates, 4 knives and 4 forks is not enough for self catering. We had to wash up after meals so we had enough crockery and cutlery for the next meal - this was a major annoyance. It would also be good to have a towel rail for the towels in the bathroom. The owner should also know that the shower cubicle leaks quite significantly.

Mrs Edgar September 2021

“The cottage was clean, warm and peaceful.”

(despite its proximity to the beach) We missed having a washing machine/or access to a washing machine.

- Mrs Edgar, September 2021
Mrs Ashdown September 2021

“Treadurr Bay itself is mainly the beach.”

There are few amenities and the only open public toilets are horrendous. The restaurants are fine but over the weekend were already fully booked and only one take-away cafe was open. This meant that we mostly catered for ourselves There were no laundry facilities at the cottage as these had been closed because of Covid and a clothes line outside instead would have been helpful. The patio was only in sun in the afternoon and evening and a smaller patio at the other side of the garden would have been lovely for the morning. It was a very pretty cottage and a convenient base for days on the beach.

- Mrs Ashdown, September 2021
Mrs Garle August 2021

“Lovely small cottage, just big enough for 2 - great location”

- Mrs Garle, August 2021
Mrs Campbell July 2021

“The cottage was small but adequate and the garden nice however the whole place was let down by the sparse amount of kitchen equipment.”

2 dinner plates, no side plates (we used saucers from the 2 cups) , So little cutlery and tableware that you have one meal without putting the dishwasher on ( so that woukd be dishwasher on after breakfast , lunch and dinner ).

- Mrs Campbell, July 2021
Miss Baybutt July 2021

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, a lovely little cottage and nice sized garden.”

Outside furniture looks a little tired and needs replacing. We would definitely recommend the cottage and will return

- Miss Baybutt, July 2021
Mr Thomas June 2021

“Very enjoyable stay”

- Mr Thomas, June 2021
Mr Hesketh June 2021

“We feel the lounge could do with a bigger window, felt a little crammed in, but overall a lovely little cottage.”

- Mr Hesketh, June 2021
Mrs Jacklin June 2021

“This cottage was brilliant, had everything you could need for your stay.”

I took all the food Jake (dog) and I would need, as there is only two small general stores in the Bay area. Holyhead 2.5 miles away. Kel (the caretaker) told me the short cut to beach (not in the cottage info). Right out of cottage through barrier, bear right and follow the path to a grassed path way, then through the small alley and there`s the sea!

- Mrs Jacklin, June 2021
Mr Hale May 2021

“Outdoor furniture was poor.”

Generally a little tired

- Mr Hale, May 2021
Mr Stallard May 2021

“A cottage situated in a prime position, 5 minutes from a fantastic beach.”

Ideal for a couple looking for a nice break, great rear garden. Plenty of pubs and eateries nearby, however I would recommend you do your homework, and book in advance to ensure you can get in. I would definitely recommend Sykes cottages at Treadur Bay. We had a fantastic time, and our dog loved it, very dog friendly on Anglesey.

- Mr Stallard, May 2021
Mrs Manuell May 2021

“The cottage was lovely but the shower was really dirty black gung in the shower hose had lots of black gung on it also the shower head was dirty.”

When I removed the bedding from the bed the mattress had two stains on it.Kelvin the caretaker was really helpful.

- Mrs Manuell, May 2021
Mrs Brown April 2021

“Well located, very clean holiday cottage.”

Very impressed. Convenient for the two of us and ideal for the dog with our own garden. Perfect weekend away!

- Mrs Brown, April 2021
Miss Christon April 2021

“A lovely little cottage that had everything we needed!”

Very cosy and compact! I do not however feel it had been deep cleaned before our stay; there were a few cobwebs on the walls and the sofa still had crisps and dirt tucked on the sides! We would certainly stay again and the area is just so peaceful and quiet! 5 minutes walk to a beautiful beach and the sea was so calm we loved it including our collie who is beach mad! The garden is also very big and the added bonus of a table and chairs to enjoy the afternoon soon was great Would definitely stay again at this wonderful little cottage!

- Miss Christon, April 2021
Mr Reid September 2020

“Very comfortable cottage very good facilities lovely garden.”

Would definitely stay again

- Mr Reid, September 2020
Mr Guinn-brennan September 2020

“The cottage was lovely, as was the garden.”

The bedroom, however, had a large bed squeezed into it with no room for a bedside table or lamps. It was so tightly packed that I had to use my phone camera to negotiate the space from bedroom to bathroom.

- Mr Guinn-brennan, September 2020
Ms Hodkin August 2020

“The garden was a lovely surprise and the accommodation clean and comfortable.”

Maybe some more garden furniture/loungers would be a good addition as we were so lucky with the weather.

- Ms Hodkin, August 2020
Mrs Powell February 2020

“The cottage was delightful and cosy, we would most definitely return.”

- Mrs Powell, February 2020
Mrs King October 2019

“The cottage was well equipped with the added bonus of a welcome pack.”

Beautiful surroundings near beaches and very peaceful. Excellent.

- Mrs King, October 2019
Mrs Stamper October 2019

“The beautiful walks.”

Waking up refreshed ready to enjoy the day ahead. We didn't mind just chilling in front of the television. The garden was exceptional. All in all 100%.

- Mrs Stamper, October 2019
Mr Morgan October 2019

“Like English football a tale of two halves!”

The cottage is cosy in a nice location, well set out but, the bathroom was a revaluation. Never seen a fitted wardrobe or two wine racks in a bathroom and a shower where the silver shower hose was black with mould and black mould in all areas of the sealant, not to mention the prolific pubic hairs all around the floor of the toilet! Reading previous occupants comments revealed that these have been reported before and not cleaned. This could be a gem of a location but needs quite a bit of TLC before it reaches full marks!

- Mr Morgan, October 2019
Mr Ridge July 2019

“Having had experience of other holiday cottages, I feel able to offer some constructive critique.”

Firstly I would say that we had a wonderful week in Trearddur - it’s a lovely location and conducive to restorative rest and relaxation. The location of the cottage is ideal. The cottage itself is comfortable and fine for 2 people. It lacks natural light so if the weather is not fine it can be claustrophobic in the living area. The amenities are fine, apart perhaps from a fridge which is difficult to access (particularly the lower shelves) in its current location and the lack of a washing machine/airer/washing line. Wi-fi is not really as advertised as you need to move away from the cottage to a nearby central area which is accessed by a key which hangs in the kitchen and was not noticed by us until the day before our departure. In this regard a welcome folder of detailed information might be better than sheets of A4 posted in the kitchen. The garden is nice although the garden furniture is pretty worn and not in keeping with the otherwise good quality provision in the cottage. We took our own chairs and were able to relax in the garden; this would not have been as enjoyable had we had to use what is in place. Finally the welcome pack, including the bottle of Prosecco was a nice touch and was appreciated.

- Mr Ridge, July 2019
Ms Degier July 2019

“A lovely bijou cottage that catered for every need.”

Very well equipped and a great base to explore from. We were grateful for the thoughtful welcome pack. Previous comments we had read suggested a problem with saucepans being old. This is no longer the case, they were virtually new. No complaints in the kitchen! Our only “ criticism “ would be that whilst we understand cost to be kept to minimum, it could benefit from updating some useable cushions to replace those already there, ( they are flat and offer no support on the sofa). The pillows in the bedroom were a tad lifeless too but we had brought our own anyhow just incase. Garden was lovely too, but the furniture again, neglected and some could do with being disposed of ax unusable. It’s a shame there wasn’t a small fence though to keep our dog from escaping, but obviously we stayed with him the whole time. These are only small things, and didn’t spoil our stay, but intended only as positive feedback. It’s a really well looked after property otherwise. Loved it ****

Miss Picken July 2019

“The cottage is in a lovely area with lots of different routes to the beach and walks for the dog!”

Amazing garden and lovely and clean. Lovely extra touches made us feel right at home. Nice to be able to take our fur baby

- Miss Picken, July 2019
Mrs Green June 2019

“We stayed in the cottage next door to this one last year.”

This cottage's garden was more private. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed. It was very clean. The surrounding area was well kept and maintained and the owners had left contact numbers for us for if there were any problems (which there wasn't) we had a lovely surprise welcome pack tea coffee welsh cakes and a bottle of proseco and milk. I would recommend Tyn Towyn to anyone. thank you a lovely relaxing place to spend your holiday.

- Mrs Green, June 2019

“Clean comfortable cottage with useful welcome pack.”

Only issue was saucepans so badly worn as to be virtually unuseable

Jacqueline Atherden Jun 2018

“Very clean and well equipped.”

Garden was beautiful and well kept. The welcome tray was a very nice touch. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star was that I felt the saucepans needed replacing.

TREARDDUR BAY

Holyhead 2 miles.

Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of Holy Island. It’s truly beautiful - a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine sandy beaches (European Blue Flag). Watersports, bathing, sailing and windsurfing are the main activities in the summer months and golfers will enjoy the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course. It’s a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve and lots of rock pools and cliff top walks to explore. 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, an interesting harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry. The Maritime Museum in Holyhead has an excellent cafe and the beautiful Holyhead Breakwater Country Park has walks for you to enjoy. Further afield there is the stunning Newborough with its excellent woodland and beach and Beaumaris with its town and castle. A great location with plenty to see and do!
