Tyn Towyn - Bwthyn Carreg

the cottage was lovely in itself but needs full crockery and utensils update.

It only seems to have been cleaned where can been seen, the dust bunnies under the bed and sofa haven't seen a mop for who knows how long. We were lucky enough to stay during the heatwave so spent most of our time at the beach, a clothes airer would have been useful to hang our wet towels and costumes on. We had to put them on the wall outside to dry. Overall we enjoyed staying here, great position for the beach within walking distance which was why we chose it

Really nice cosy place

Lovely, compact little cottage, has everything you might need and was warm and cosy.

The garden has open access so you need to keep an eye on your dog. A little tired in places such as rusty radiator in the bathroom. Just one front door and the windows are small so can be a bit gloomy at this time of year. We would definitely recommend as it was well priced and had nice touches such as complimentary Prosecco, milk bara brith.

The cottage is lovely, small but we felt it was adequate.

Nice and clean, good quality fixtures in the kitchen, lots of cupboard space in the bathroom, Slightly lacking in kitchen utensils, and pots and pans , but we managed, would possibly benefit from some new crockery, we purchased two new plates to use, on stripping the bed on departure day we found the mattress to be rather stained, which was a disappointment. Over all, we loved it, had a great week, and we would definitely book again, but bring a mattress topper and utensils with us.

Far too small 3/4 bed not clean rusty radiators mould in shower lack of outside furniture only one door cutlery insufficient Very tiny and not dog friendly

The cottage was in the perfect spot and it was cosy and comfortable, couldn’t wish for a better place, looking forward to going back

The fiz cake and Milk were appreciated.

Lovely hot shower. This is a lovely complex in Trearddur, it’s a shame that the maintenance and housekeeping aren’t up to standard. Recycling bins in kitchen were dirty, cutlery drawer dirty, bed base creaked badly, old towels and holes in the bath mat. Not happy having to hang clothes in a wardrobe in the bathroom which didn’t close. I note these problems have been mentioned before. Such a shame because this is a lovely venue.

Lack of full set of kitchen utensils, not enough crockery for use of dishwasher to it’s best, dirty pans and grill pan, garden furniture of very poor quality and lacked sun shade and sun loungers, wardrobe doesn’t shut properly.

We enjoyed our stay at Carreg, it was lovely and quiet.

The birds were singing and rabbits were playing in the garden area. We loved sitting outside with our dog, this made our holiday. Best to keep her on a lead though as no gate. Lots of nice walks to beach or restaurants. The owner left us a bottle of prosecco and a barrabrith which was very kind and welcoming and also a pint of milk. Safe parking on the driveway. We wish that there had been a vacuum cleaner available and a mop for the floors as they needed doing but the cottage is lovely. Clean sheets and plenty of towels are supplied. You just need to bring your own beach towels and maybe a tea towel. There is a dishwasher which we made good use of The area is really nice and recycling is a stones throw away. A short drive to supermarkets for any food ànd essentials. Spa shop is a five minute walk if you want some fresh bread rolls or cakes but also nice restaurants with in walking distance and they are dog friendly. The free WiFi is very handy at the cottage.

Beautiful cottages in an excellent location , would highly recommend.

.

Great property brilliant for the beach and local restaurants - the dog loved it

Everything was spot on.

Excellent location and beautiful cottage , would highly recommend and can't wait to be back.

...

Really enjoyed our 4 night stay .

Lovely cottage . Kitchen had everything you need , lovely bottle Prosecco, beer and Welsh cakes left for us , which is a nice touch . The bed was very comfortable and lovely white fluffy towels . Had problem with light flashing in the bathroom , someone came around within 30 mins and sorted out , brilliant . Lovely and quiet , great garden and so near the bay . Only one little thing the settee could be more supportive , but too soft for me but I sat in the chair which was fine. Would definitely recommend . Audrey and Gordon from Lancashire .

Lovely cottage, everything was perfect , milk in the fridge , bottle of Prosecco Welsh cake , tea and coffee, washing pods for dishwasher, toilets rolls and a tea towels , hairdryer in the bedroom next to a mirror .

Nice fresh white hotel striped bedding and lovely fluffy white towels . The cottage has a beautiful garden with table and chairs to sit out and watch the visiting rabbits and badgers . 5 mins walk to the beach , chip shop , cafes and shops .

We would like to stay again but in an apartment next time lovely place close to the beach and restaurants

The location is truly ideal, with the beach, shops, and restaurants all within a pleasant walking distance.

This aspect certainly made our daily outings enjoyable and hassle-free. However, upon entering the cottage, we were immediately struck by a very strong smell reminiscent of a wet dog. Unfortunately, this odour was pervasive enough that we felt compelled to purchase air fresheners to mitigate it. The cleanliness of the cottage left much to be desired, as we noticed spiders and webs in nearly every corner of each room. The bathroom presented its own set of issues, notably dampness and visible mould. These conditions were particularly concerning as they exacerbated breathing problems for an asthma sufferer. Despite reaching out to Sykes Cottages about the dampness and general condition of the property, our message went unanswered. In summary, while the cottage's location is undeniably fantastic, the state of cleanliness and maintenance was disappointing and marred what could have been a much more enjoyable stay.

Great location, really nice cottage, garden is lovely.

Very well equipped . As others have said pity the cottage doesn’t open on to garden but understand why it can’t. Thank you for welcome parcel, enjoyed. Only area to improve was kitchen cleanliness, found dishes etc not cleaned very well.

Comfortable cottage, a little small but OK.

Some minor maintenance is needed eg lock on bathroom door (reported by others)

Thank you for a lovely week.

Carreg is very compact but has everything you need for a week away. The property was easily accessible to everything in the Bay and the surrounding area. We had a dog with us and he settled into the small area well. It felt comfortable in all areas. The bed might be too hard for some but we found it okay. It’s a shame the property does not have direct access to the lovely garden at the back but we accept why this is. We would definitely visit again!

Location of the property is fabulous, within walking distance to all amenities.

Beautiful garden & views . Owners provided Milk ,tea & coffee & a lovely Welsh cake & Bottle of prosecco on arrival Which is a lovely touch. Unfortunately we felt as the property is let down by inadequate cleaning & Maintenance. Oven not clean, toaster useless. Bathroom in need of an update , Could not hang clothes in wardrobe in bathroom because of dust & spider webs . Dust everywhere in the property. Outside there are new table & Chairs which we found very uncomfortable. We wished we had taken our own folding chairs to enjoy the Beautiful outdoor space. This property has bags of potential if Standard of cleanliness & maintenance could be improved.

The property was exactly as described.

It was clean & cosy. The location was great.

Fabulous Cottage, just as described.

Perfect location.

A lovely little cottage.

Modern kitchen and bathroom. Well maintained garden with new garden furniture. Short walk to a fab beach. Only downside was that we found the bed too firm but that's down to personal preference and no fault if the owners. All in all we had a great holiday and would definitely return.

Nice location, interior odd arrangement eg wardrobe in bathroom.

Also and as far as we could tell none of the previous highlighted problems had been addressed eg lock on bathroom not working. Finally the bed is very uncomfortable and much to large for the size of the bedroom...!

The property was very clean when we arrived.

We did have an issue with the TV but it was quickly sorted out.

Nice small property, great setting, the rear garden really could do with a fence and gate each side of the cottage to be totally dog friendly!

. Could have done with a rear door off the kitchen to enjoy the rear garden a lot more. Ideal for a weeks holiday for two with good off road parking on a relatively quite road.

Lovely cottage but irritating things that could give it 5 stars.

Not enough crockery or cutlery for the small dishwasher. We drank tea/coffee out of soup mugs No egg cups Bed needs replacing Apart from that - cottage is in perfect position with beautiful garden and we had a great holiday.

The cottage is and its furnishings is showing signs of tiredness.

for example: The bed needs to be replaced. (very noisy when getting out or turning over) The entrance door and its furnishings is in need of some urgent maintenance. The settee is very uncomfortable. The cleanliness of the cottage is not what we expected. Cobwebs in corners and on work tops. Garden furniture well past its sell by date and is in a dangerous condition, i.e. the chairs are on the point of collapsing and causing an injury to the person sitting on them. Putting these points to one side the cottage is in a well located position and has its own garden. A small amount of investment in the furnishings would be welcomed, however this did not dampen our holiday and would be prepared to go again if these points are taken on board and furnishings are replaced. Brian

Lovely little cottage in a great location.

Very clean and well looked after. The only thing that stopped me giving this a 5 star rating was the bed. The creaking and groaning from the bed base was dreadful. It most definitely needs replacing. Other than that for the two of us, it was ideal.

The photos online looked really nice, but in reality.

1) Lets start at the front door, greeted with dead plants. 2) The bed was broken and needs replacing. 3) The bathroom that thought it was a kitchen, with kitchen units and two wine racks, WHY !! as well as a wardrobe !! The handles on the doors where rusty and no towel rails. 4) In the lounge area the nest of tables had broken legs. 5) The oven was dirty obviously from previous clients. 6) The outside furniture needed replacing. Certainly not value for money, would not recommend this property.

I only scored 9/10 as the back Garden IMO needs some securuty.

Being dog friendly is great but our small dog is never off lead and with no gate at the side or driveway we couldn't relax in the lovely back garden. Even If you secured the small access at the left of the property with a small gate of some kind that would have helped. The table and chairs in the garden were a little tired and the wiring behind the TV very messy which I did have to tidy due to my OCD and selling TV's etc for a living :-) Kelvin was very reachable and always responded in good time to any questions I had. Amazing location, and only a short drive to other towns and locations. Would defo stay here again.

WiFi was very hit and miss, otherwise great accommodation and fantastic location.

We had a lovely week stopping in Bwthyn Carreg.

A nice little detached cottage well off the main road so nice and quiet. Only a 5 minute walk and you are onto the main beach or a little further to the numerous little coves dotted around the bay. A spaceous maintained garden to sit in but had to be careful with our dog as its not fenced off either side of the cottage which is a shame for a dog friendly property. We had one small issue which was rectified straightaway by the caretaker. Only negatives we found was that the sofa was not the comfiest and the bed mattress was ok for us but the base was very creaky. Also would of been good to have an outside tap to wash the dogs feet. We will definitely be visiting again.

It's a nice place.

It could do with an upgrade. It needs a new bed. It needs a new rug. All the handles in the bathroom are rusting needs a couple of new blinds got some mildew on them. Front door macc step is coming away could be a trip hazard. The interweb drops in and out but worked in the main. But I had a quiet time there. Its a great place and some OK pubs.

Lovely little cottage, getting a little tired as we said July 2021.

General cleanliness when we arrived poor, garden furniture needs replacing. The location is perfect and the garden is huge for the size of the property , but can't enjoy as there is no back door

The property was clean and comfortable except for the settee in the lounge.

On the whole the kitchen was well equipped but a few more plates , bowls and mugs would help to make the holiday more relaxing as well as making the dishwasher more economical to use by having it once rather than after each meal time. It was a lovely area which we enjoyed exploring.

Lovely cottage.

Would benefit from an outside light at the back of the property and a maiden. Other than that everything you need is there. Inside window frames need a clean. Loved our stay. So close to everything an ideal base. Thank you.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 ).

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

Very enjoyable stay

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

Outdoor furniture was poor.

Generally a little tired

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Very comfortable cottage very good facilities lovely garden.

Would definitely stay again

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.

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.

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

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

Beautiful surroundings near beaches and very peaceful. Excellent.

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%.

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!

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.

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 ****

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

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.

The owners of this cottage are pros.

The cottage has a great bathroom and kitchen, living room and bedroom are just what you need. Well furnished and everything you could need is there for you. Nice welcome pack. We will definitely be going again.

Comfy, quiet and well equipped

the furniture has not changed in 10 years most uncomfortable settee i have ever sat on,curtains same as when we arrived 10 years ago same crockery ,and the washing machine is an enigma

Clean comfortable cottage with useful welcome pack.

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

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.

For the price the cottage was very basic and rather small.

It was beautiful.

Very clean. Well equipped. Will book again

Good in every way.

clean,well equipped,very comfortable, great location,good local services,an ideal base
