“The cottage was comfortable and had an old-fashioned charm, with beautiful gardens and a view of the harbour from our bedroom balcony.”

The owner was very helpful and some of his suggestions enhanced our stay, including for local places to eat out and for scenic coastal walks. It was our first visit to the Lleyn Peninsula and it won’t be our last, with memorable walks and birdwatching.

“This was our third stay here we have loved it, but property needs upgrading, kitchen, crockery, beds, towels, carpet.”

WiFi was intermittent but on day we left check out was at 10am but at 9.45 owner and cleaner came in without knocking. Without masks and cleaner went into room and started cleaning when we were just doing our final checks to make sure we had not left anything and moving last bags out. We asked if we could have an extra 5 minutes and were told no as she is here now! Was a poor end to the holiday and made us feel rushed and unwelcome.

“This is a lovely cottage that is like a home from home.”

“Ideal for walking into Pwhelli - 5 minutes walk to Asda , 10 minutes into town.”

Great central location for visiting the amazing beaches on the Llyn, Cricceth, Portmerion. David was a great host, checking everything was ok. He offered full access to his gardens and we enjoyed a game of croquet on the lawn although there was a large private garden with the cottage..

“Very nice place in a lovely setting, looking out over the town and beyond the bay.”

Mrs Barker October 2020

“Bwthyn is set in lovely surroundings and is located in a wonderful position for Snowdonia and the Llyn peninsula.”

The cottage is spacious, very comfortable, well equipped (cooking facilities brilliant) and it’s fabulous to be able to regulate the central heating especially after a cold and wet tramp in the countryside. David provided a lot of information and was very helpful if needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

Paul Whitelaw Jan 2019

“The cottage was spotlessly clean and there was even a cake to welcome us!”

The weather was exceptionally cold and the cottage felt cold even though the heating was on. But eventually it did warm up and we were nice and cosy. Just one problem. We took some DVDs with us but couldn't get the DVD player to play. I tried to call the owner on several occasions for advice but there was no answer. This does need to be addressed

- Paul Whitelaw, Jan 2019

From the Owner: Thank you for your kind feedback and I am pleased you enjoyed your stay. I was unfortunately away the weekend you stayed in Bwthyn Bach but had my mobile with me and to the best of my knowledge I did not miss any calls from yourselves or Menai Holidays. Thank you Owner relations

“When we arrived the cottage, it wasn't ready for us.”

The cleaner hadn't turned up so it wasn't presentable, a rather messy apartment, no fresh clean linen on the bed, no clean towels, dirty linen in the bath. I contacted the owner and he kindly gave us directions to another house not too far away for the night and he resolved the problem first thing the following morning. We had the option if we wanted to stay in the house or go back to the previous cottage, which we decided would be better for us. We didn't want to stay in the house with stairs as it wasn't convienent with a crawling baby and wouldn't be very relaxing without a babygate. It was a disappointing start to out holiday after travelling with a poorly baby for hours and all went wanted to do was settle in for the night and unpack. However, the owner was very apologetic and resolved the issues as soon as he could which we were grateful for. Once settled we enjoyed our break away.

“Better than previous apartment where the bathroom was quite restricted and bedroom was tight too.”

This cottage a definite improvement. Would book this one again. Kitchen was good. 2 cupboards were full of glasses, too many really unless a large party was taking place. Therefore room for dry goods was restricted. But we managed to put most of glasses in one cupboard. Space in the fridge was wanting too, badly designed in the first place. Cooking facilities good, although we went out for most main meals.

Only a few tiny issues - a few things had almost run out - hand soap, washing up liquid, loo roll. Could also do with a few blankets in the lounge as it was pretty chilly in the evenings. Would def recommend though and would also stay again if we were in the area. Thanks

“Spacious,well equipped,modern fittings,welcome pack.”

Very conveniently placed for town and local walks,used car very little. Downside - outlook from property onto internal car park with neighbouring property car only view from window! Seemed to be a walkway to harbour past property even though it was a private access.Minor details-no waste paper baskets,wi fi sporadic,heating controls a bit random!

Thank you for your email and your positive comments regarding the cottage & cleanliness have been noted. The owner within 2 hours of your call to the MHC office had changed the mattress for you and did not hear from you again until the following morning to advise that you had left. There are 2 comfy sofas and the TV does have a remote control. Owner relations

Joanna Taylor Aug 2018

“The cottage was lovely and very modern but I felt that the cleanliness was not up to scratch.”

The floors were dusty and didnt look as if they hadn’t been cleaned. Fridge hadn’t been cleaned as we found bits of food in it. This I know is being very picky but just feel that this should have been looked at before we came. Little attention to detail like, maybe a few games to play and provision of a DVD player if the weather is bad, as reception when it’s windy allows you to only watch BBC. I appreciate this is a new property and is still a project in motion so I think in a few months this will be top notch but I couldn’t give it top marks I’m afraid.

- Joanna Taylor, Aug 2018
Mair George Jul 2018

“Lovely, modern, spacious, comfortable cottage, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.”

The friendly, welcoming owners live next door so on hand for anything you might need. The welcome pack with milk, bread, butter, sugar, tea, coffee and homemade fruit cake was much appreciated. The cottage is on a main road but most of the traffic was farm vehicles and really didn't bother us. The A55 is just up the road so access is good to all the major attractions. I would highly recommend this cottage as a very comfortable base to explore Anglesey.

“Good stay in central location.”

Apartment was well furnished. The reason we cannot give the apartment a higher score is that is was not properly cleaned. We've stayed in quite a few apartments before, but never in such a dirty one. Floors in kitchen and bathroom were definitely not mopped (cleaned with water and detergent). Other parts of the house could have done with a proper clean as well. We also considered the amount of towels provided to guests (2 per person) too few. We missed an instruction for the key box. There are many instructions in the apartment but not for the key box. How to reset if you type in the wrong code for example.

Kathryn Barraclough Jul 2018

“The cottage was beautiful.”

It had every thing we needed. The beds were the most comfortable I have slept in. The furnishings were lovely. The sofas were also very comfortable, easy to spot the good quality. The garden was very nice and safe for our dog. The location was perfect if you want peace and quiet. There was a pub and a,couple of nice Hotels which all welcomed dogs in the bar and gardens, about 1.7 miles down the road. The beach was within easy reach. We did not walk owing to the hot weather and having to try our best to keep the dog out of the sun. Had the temperature been cooler then I am sure we would have walked down each morning. Great location foe exploring the area.

“Beautifully updated and furnished and a fabulous location.”

A couple of small things could be done to make it even better e.g.. provision of a hairdryer, a bench or seating in back garden and a blind in the bathroom window. The picnic table in the front garden is lovely but too big for the space it's in

“The cottage was lovely and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sofas, and nice bathrooms.”

It was lacking a clothes line or airer which was a pain for drying beach gear and our waterproofs which we did not want to put in the tumble drier. There were no clocks anywhere except on the oven. An internal bin/box for putting recyclables in would have been helpful, as we had to pop outside every time we wanted to put something in the recycling. The cottage was lacking in tourist information and local walking maps/direction, although we did appreciate the OS map.

Clean, warm and cosy in the fantastic base of Criccieth. Mountains, seaside - take your pick and great places to eat - cafe 46 for homemade cakes is a must as is the castle chippy! Bedroom a little small but didn't bother us too much and although no designated parking not a problem to find a space nearby.

“The property was of a good standard and clean, but was let down by omissions on the inter-rental servicing.”

There was no washing up liquid, no oven glove, an empty hand wash bottle had been left on the basin, there was insufficient toilet paper, and the freezer compartment of the fridge was so iced up, its door could not close which in turn was preventing the main fridge door from shutting.

“Super cottage - very comfortable and well equipped with a good atmosphere.”

The private garden was a real bonus. Perfectly placed in Criccieth, and exploring further afield was very easy. Would not hesitate in recommending this cottage, although it is worth mentioning the low beams in both bedrooms. As it turned out this was not a problem for us, but if you're on the tall side it could be!

“The cottage lacked a lot of things to be functioning as self catering.”

The underfloor heating was not working, no matches provided for the fireplace, 2 logs for 5 night staying guests, no handbook. The living room window was stuck ajar, bathroom window not frosted nor had curtain, no wardrobe in the master bedroom, no coat hangers downstairs, bedsides useless as the lamps were too big. The cottage did have nice sea view and near to the beach but the owner did not pay much care for the house itself nor for her paying guests. The rate is not cheap, hence didn't meet the standard. If these aforementioned issues are fixed, the house could be nice, but be aware of the appalling customer service if something goes wrong.

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that you did not enjoy your holiday, this is absolutely not what Menai Holiday Cottages is about. We write accurate descriptions, check our houses every year and if there is a house that has received complaints we also follow up with a visit. Which we did on this occasion. This is to ensure we can fully understand the concerns that have been raised, and therefore decide what action should be taken. In this case we feel we have dealt with any valid issues correctly and professionally. Choosing a house is not easy and if you call us we are here to help, sometimes just picking one from a web site when you have no knowledge of the area is not straightforward. Try as we might, we cannot please all of the people all of the time. I am sorry to read your complaint but we have done our level best and will take all of you points on board for the future.

The property

Bwthyn at Brynhyfryd is a comfortable holiday cottage set in the grounds of Brynhyfryd, a Victorian mansion built by shipbuilder William Jones, which stands in well-kept grounds of almost an acre.

Pwllheli translates to 'saltwater pool' and was, at one time, one of the main shipbuilding centres in North Wales and has a long maritime history.

Today, the Marina is considered one of the best in the country and is a European Centre of Excellence in sailing. 'A tranquil haven within easy walking distance of the beach, marina, and all this bustling little town has on offer' It is located just on the outskirts of this bustling coastal town with its variety of shops, cafes and restaurants in addition to the two main beaches, South Beach and Glandon.

No more than an easy ten-minute walk from the National Sailing Centre of Wales and the Llyn Coastal Path.

This compact north-west corner of North Wales makes it easy to access the attractions of the area - the majestic mountains of Snowdonia, the castles and mines of Gwynedd, water sports, golf, horse riding and so much more. Bwthyn at Brynhyfryd is a peaceful haven to return to after exploring the many delights of the area.

The owner is happy for you to relax and enjoy the lovely well kept grounds and will even provide garden games such as croquet for your enjoyment.

This busy market town is the unofficial capital of the Llyn Peninsula which is one of the most scenic regions of Wales, renowned for its outstanding scenery, stunning coastal walks, excellent beaches and golf courses. This traditional seaside town offers a variety of shops, pubs and restaurants and an impressive marina holding 400 boats. The town boasts two beaches, one with the Blue Flag Award and is renowned for its sailing and watersports. Close by are Criccieth, with its medieval castle, and popular Abersoch, a pretty harbour town also renowned for its wonderful beaches and watersports facilities. Much of the peninsula is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a lot of the coastline is owned by the National Trust providing many remote bays, sandy beaches and exciting clifftop walks, as well as wildlife havens like Bardsey Island. Discover all of Snowdonia, the Isle of Anglesey, many medieval castles and N.T. properties and gardens, or simply relax in this beautiful part of Wales.
