Big Azzles

Lovely holiday in Big Azzles, great location for exploring Anglesey, the cottage was fully equipped with everything you could need and the hot tub made it extra special.

Booking was easy through Sykes and they were very helpful when I needed to change the date of our holiday, and kept me up to date when payments were due and the information on access to the cottage etc.

I have fallen in love with this beautiful house and resort.

The house was brilliant and clean The pull out bed in the lounge was very comfy and easy to pull open and close. The hot tub was so relaxing and wonderful after a busy day at the beach and an added bonus with outdoor shower to use before getting in the hot tub The BBQ was brilliant it was new and so easy to use. Adrian and his son Callum (the owners) were so helpful and friendly. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were great and having a shower room downstairs was great for the guest staying on the pull-down bed. Thank you. We would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

The house is in a great position to visit everywhere on Anglesey and as there were seven of us the size was good however the Wi-Fi went down before we got there the people we spoke to had said they had been in their property since Thursday and it was down when we arrived on the Saturday and feel it would have been good to be notified in advance as one of our party was working from home during our stay.

The furniture is extremely dated with broken handles on the sideboard in the living room, absolutely uncomfortable sofas and the kitchen stools are just fit for the bin. With regards to the cleaning there was still sand on the living room floors and I found someone’s nail clippings on the carpet in the bedroom, the pillows were as flat as pancakes and when we stripped the bed when leaving there were multiple stains on the mattress protectors I could go on but I won’t. The jacuzzi started smelling like bad eggs when checked the filters hadn’t cleaned in ages, there was no chlorine in it and ph levels were high. The owners responses were days late and difficult to believe! Would I recommend this property to anyone only for the location would I stay there again definitely not whilst it’s in the state it’s in.

A great cottage listed correctly and good value for money.

It doesn't have the finest of finishes, however its a holiday let. Good spaces, good garden, good tub, good equipment. It is however great value for money. Take your family and enjoy !

We had a lovely post-Christmas break at Big Azzles.

The house was exactly as we expected from the listing and ideal for our party of 4 adults and 3 children - very clean and comfortable. The hot tub is a great addition. The location is great for accessing Benllech. We did have some trouble finding it initially as it had gone dark and I think perhaps the address could be changed so it's more accurate for the sat nav. But that was our only issue the whole weekend. We had a very happy stay - thank you!

There was only soap in one bathroom when we arrived.

Also there was not much toilet paper, only one roll per bathroom. Lack of cleaning supplies as well to clean once we left, and only a few dishwasher pods. WiFi was slow when multiple people used it. We also booked for seven people, there was no indication of where the spare bedding for the sofa bed was or how to open the sofa bed. Also we had no spare towels for the person on the sofa bed or for in general. Also we accidentally turned the water off, this could be labelled better so no other idiots press this in the future

Not very clean at all.

Holes in the walls and chipped paint on the stairs. Badly tiled and rough tiling in the main bathroom which could injure somebody. Dog pooh in the garden. Garden furniture dirty. Hot tub had lots of sand in it. Living room furniture not very comfortable neither were the beds (but that could be a personal preference) the Juliet balcony door in the ensuite room didn't close properly. We did enjoy the area. But wouldn't stay there again or recommend it for the price we paid for it. A bottle of milk would of been nice. But no welcome pack at all.

Great value for money in a great location

Oh my days!

what a wonderful holiday we've had. We felt so at home as soon as we went into Big Azzles. clean, tidy, comfortable are just some of the words we'd use, The icing on the cake was the hot tub set up and ready to use helped of course by the full week of amazing weather. Thank you Big Dazzles... Our only comment would be to make the small road sign on the side of the fence a bit bigger or stand out more as we drove up and down the main road a couple of times before we noticed it on the drive. .

Lovely property, ideal location for staying in Benlech, close to the sea and facilities.

Well equipped Kitchen. Good all round space for a familly of four. Hot tub is great enjoyed by all. What lets it down is the maintenance of the property, the grass needs cutting in the garden, so its easy to pick up any dog mess, the en-suit toilet has a leak from the toilet and is coming thru the ceiling in the hall. The hoover is knackered needs replacing, this is essential for a property that allows pets, the washing machine needs a cleanand the fridge is a bit on the warm side. The propery needs a deep clean ie windows, wall scuffs ect. The furniture is now looking tired and needs handles replacing. The property would benifit of having a freshen up to bring it back to were it was when it was built, this would be amazing as it is a great property and has loads of potential.

A fabulous property, spacious, well equipped and lovely quiet location.

Outdoor shower was brilliant for the hot tub and cleaning down sandy dogs after adventures on the beach. Great local pub and take aways close by with a wonderful beach and bay to walk to as long as you don’t mind a bit of a hill coming back. A few little maintenance niggles, which it would be great to pick up on before they escalate or impact the general high quality feel of the property.

We had an enjoyable holiday, the accommodation was okay, i thought a lot of the finishes to the property were poor quality especially the wall tilling ( to most rooms) and floor to the entrance, the stairs hadn’t been measured properly and resulted in a mini landing at the base of the stairs, there had been smokers in before us (at some point) and they had left cigarette buts in the planters around the jacuzzi, the log burner was excellent but a shame there was no initial starter pack as described.

Our master bed was good, double bed sink in, single beds felt springs. No wardrobe or mirror in the two single beds room.

We stayed at one of the other properties last year which was brilliant, This one was good but needed a bit of care and attention and was not up to the standard of the previous property, on another note I am very disappointed that when the guy came to change the gas bottles he left the back gate wide open and if it wasn’t for me going out with my 2 dogs they could have escaped, also said back gate had no lock on it for properties that can have dogs I think this is a must

Clean well presented within easy reach of local amenities first class really enjoyed our stay

We would not stay again as the property was not very clean .

One of the bins was full of nappies when we arrived ( we don’t have a baby ) and one of the single beds was covered in black hairs and it was obvious that the sheets had not been changed . The finishing details of the property were very poor considering we paid a lot of money for this property.

Lovely holiday at this clean, well equipped holiday home.

Great hot tub!

It was everything we could have asked for just as was advertised the property was clean every appliance that you need to make your stay enjoyable.

The garden was completely enclosed so it was fantastic for our little dog, and with the hot tub it made it a holiday to remember.

Really enjoyed our stay.

The house is in a great position, although a bit of an uphill slog back from the beach. It’s comfortable and well equipped, with good outdoor space. The hot tub, garden loungers and cushions were especially appreciated. Unfortunately there was a leak from the ensuite shower which meant we couldn’t use it after our third night and the tv in the double bedroom didn’t work.

Great 50th birthday weekend spent with friends.

Owner rang before we arrived to let us know of a problem with the hot tub. By 10am the next morning it was all sorted! House was clean and comfortable. Had everything we needed and was in a good location.

Great location nice walk down to the beach, easy access to shops and cafes ect would recommend the The Shed for breakfast.

Hot tup was great but would be better if had a cover. First impressions of the house was very good but didn't take long to notice the poor finish to everything and cleanliness not great. Can tell its been made just for holiday let and not been lived in as little things not thorght out such as bedside tables , light switches, uncomfortable sofas. Garden much smaller than looked on pictures and full of furniture. It did have everything we needed but little expensive for what was provided, would return to the area but not this house.

We had a wonderful time, the place was amazing my only criticism was that the hot tub had no shelter we was open to the ailments, as it rained quite heavily at times.

Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

I booked this for a honeymoon gift for my daughter and her new husband.

They said the accommodation was absolutely amazing and very spacious with everything that they needed and more. The garden and outside space and hot tub are fantastic and made their honeymoon more special. There’s many amenities within walking distance including the beach in which the dogs loved to run and play making special memories in regards to their wedding and first few days of them being newly wed.

We were disgusted to see dog faeces on the lawn when we arrived.

We have young grandchildren and it was only that I spotted it which prevented them from walking in it. The lawn looked like it hadn’t been mowed for weeks. The cushions on the sunbeds had not been put away during the rain before we arrived so they were impossible to use during our stay. I would say cleanliness in the whole house was not as good as it should have been

Great house in a great location.

The hosts were really helpful

The property is in a great location.

Ideal for places to eat, shops and pubs. The beach is around a 15min walk, however there is quite a hill. The property was as advertised but could do with the finishing touches being applied. For example the canopy missing on the gazebo, marks on paint work/floor and up keep of some furniture. The property was clean, but again attention to detail required in areas. In all we had a great week in the property.

We've sadly left your beautiful holiday home it's bin amazing what a great house you have .

in all the years we've bin coming it's bin the best one by far ,we've now found our new go to place in Anglesey ,thanks take care

This is a lovely property in a great location for walks/ beach and travel around Anglesey.

The facilities are outstanding. Would definitely recommend this property for everything including value for money.

Returned to this property after a visit last year.

Love this cottage. It had everything we needed and in a superb location.

A lovely welcoming cottage with everything you could wish for, we will certainly come back

Lovely place to stay in a great location, walking distance to the beach.

The hot tub was lovely although after 4 days it started to smell and the water became merky as no one had been to maintain it. Which resulted in my husband having to empty it via buckets and refill it. Kitchen well equipped, plenty of board games for those rainy days. TVs in every room. Washing machine very handy although dryer didn't seem to work.

Had a lovely week.

The property was very comfortable, in a great location.

Lovely accommodation, well situated in the lovely village of Benllech.

Our party of 6 really enjoyed our stay there. Highly recommended.

We were very worried as previous reviews we not great however, Big Azzles is a lovely property, with everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home and make our stay special.

On arrival we had been left a lovely welcome gift and milk, tea and coffee which was really appreciated. there is plenty of outside furniture, mirrors and lamps so really don't know what the previous reviewers are about?? downstairs shower is really convenient for kids getting back from the beach and before & after going in hot tub.the hot tub was great with mood lighting which was lovely in the evenings and easy to control. Tv's in all bedrooms and plenty of wardrobe, draw space in each room with a sea view from one of the bedrooms - kitchen area was lovely and well equiped again with TV. Utility has a washer/dryer, iron & hoover . lounge had dining table, coffee table, sofa and reclining chair, tv - we took our Alexia for music which was easily connected to the wifi. We had a wonderful holiday and would like to thank the owner and cleaners for a comfortable stay - we will return!!!! Nock Family

We loved Big Azzles.

We have been going to benllech for 15 years and love the area including red wharf bay. Perfect location only 15 mins walk to benllech beach and 5 mins to the local shop and pub. We parked 2 cars easily outside, and the other 2 houses had 2 cars each too and we found there enough space. The beds were comfy, we slept really well. We extended our stay by 1 night we loved it that much. The hot tub was fab, and we had a little sea view from the garden, as well as a sea view from the back bedroom. Kitchen well equipped and was lovely to have a bottle left on arrival for us and some milk on the fridge. Everything you need for a relaxing stay in benllech. Can’t wait to go back!

Outside furniture not up to standard.

Grass would really be better if upgraded to artificial.

Great location .

House a bit scruffy round the edges. Smoky oven that needs cleaning

On first look wonderful property but there is a lot of work that need to be done a big crack in the wall back bedroom that faces the garden crack in the family bathroom floor needs some TLC also on our stay the bed broke and we had to fix this ourselves

WOW What a fantastic property, it has everything you need and more with the added bonus of a hot tub.

The owner has clearly rectified all the past negative remarks. The beach is only a short walk down the road which is also fantastic for dog walkers and our 2 dogs loved having a run on it. There are lovely places to go and eat close by which we recommend as well. We will definitely be going back as it’s one the best holiday cottages we have been to and will recommend it to our family and friends.

We had a fantastic week over new year at this lovely property in a fantastic location with everything you needed on your doorstep.

Real home from home feel - it meet all of our needs and more with the hot tub, log fire, comfortable beds and modern style … we had everything we needed. I was worried given previous feedback but majority of the previous comments have been addressed and we had no complaints at all. Would definitely recommend to family and friends and hope to return soon

Brilliant stay at this lovely house.

Kitchen well equipped (contrary to other reviews), comfy beds, with nice bedding. Hot tub an added bonus. Lovely touch by the owner of having Christmas presents left for each of our group under the Christmas tree. House within easy walking distance of local shops, pub, restaurants and take-aways. Just a bit further down a hill is the lovely Benllech bay. Highly recommended will be definitely returning for another short break.

The house was really nicely located.

All the amenities stated were there. Main feedback is that the house wasn’t “finished” to a great standard, considering the price. And also, the times we could get in and had to leave were a little imposing on the holiday. Not before 5pm and leave by 9am - that cuts up the holiday time considerably, in my opinion.

First and foremost we had a lovely holiday staying in Big Azzles but the house is let down by some really simple things that could be sorted so easily.

I won’t repeat what other reviewers have mentioned but the theme is that it just needs some attention to detail to make it a nice place to stay. Mirrors in bedrooms, more kitchen utensils, a basket to carry washing to the line, larger kitchen bin, a welcome pack with house and recycling instructions, outdoor seating so the patio table could be used are just a few things that could be easily fixed. Some finishing off work around the showers and door frames is needed too. The plus side is the hot-tub is the best quality we’ve had the pleasure to use. The owner seems a genuinely nice person and is very helpful, so it’s a shame when the negative reviews could be remedied by some really simple actions. It has a good location within walking distance of shops, pubs and the beach although for the less mobile it is a walk uphill back to the property. We are easy going people and always enjoy our holidays whatever the circumstances but it would be hard to recommend the property until the problems are addressed.

mirrors - too much furniture in twin bedroom - only required large dresser Workmanship - the house looked as if completed in a rush - poor workmanship in all bathrooms - bathroom door handle - on arrival hanging off door - fear of shutting door completely to be locked in!

! - if you want a bath - you may need a good 30 minutes+ to get it filled up Kitchen Appliances - not enough plates for 6 people - not enough of the same glasses for 6 people - only 2 wine glasses - not enough cutlery for 6 people - no table mats - no tea pot - wooden utensils well past their best - none of the kitchen ware matched - very small dustbin in kitchen Difficult to “cook up a storm” with lack of appliances/utensils A woeful lack of home comforts provided for a self catering stay. Some of the above points have already been highlighted in previous reviews on Sykes website. Arrival and departure times for extra cleaning - not sure where as the house felt grubby and unclean Ending on positives: - Hot tub was enjoyed by all - Benllech has a beautiful beach - great for a walk with your dog (heads up long hill walk back home)

This was the most disappointing rental we have had through Sykes, there are significant shortcomings and misrepresentations as regards the facilities and features of this property.

The pictures of the lounge show a range of comfortable seating, two couches and an armchair, this is still showing in the current advert for the property, this is not the case, there is only one corner unit that is not suitable for the number of occupants advertised. There were five in our party and in order to sit in the evening we had to bring in furniture from the garden which was far from comfortable. There is a dining table but only four chairs ! No placemats so you have to put a hot plate on to the wooden table or use a magazine to protect the surface. The master bedroom has no bedside table or bedside lighting meaning you cannot read in bed or have a drink by the bed, not acceptable ! Anything electrical such as phone charger has to go on the floor, My wife and I both wear glasses these too had to go on the floor or on the dresser at the foot of the bed which is not acceptable when you need to get up in the night. The en-suite loo is so far into the slope of the roof it is impossible for any man of average height to use this standing up. If more than one shower is in use then the pressure is too low and the water comes out in a trickle. The kitchen is woefully under resourced, the absolute bare minimum of utensils, no serving spoons, not even a fish slice to get your eggs out of the frying pan, a potato masher would have been handy. No coffee maker or even a cafetiere also no tea pot which means every hot drink has to be made in a mug and as there are only six mugs you have to wash up after every brew. washing up is a constant feature as there are so few knives forks and spoons ! No jugs, no roasting dish, if you like to cook which many people do when on holiday, bring your own equipment! The TV in the kitchen is broken, not that we would have watched it as half the seating has its back to it. No welcome pack of information and this is the first Sykes property we have booked that had no welcome basket, not even a bottle of milk! It would have been nice to know as we brought our dog, that the beach which is a ten minute walk down hill but a mountain climb back up is not dog friendly in peak times ! The beach is very tidal and most afternoons all of the local beaches are underwater, again would have been good to know. It should be pointed out that the walk back from the beach is up a steep hill and may not be suitable for all. We paid around £1500 for this week and expected so much more for the price. This was our main holiday and we thought we had splashed out on a bit of luxury we were so so wrong !

Excellent location, accommodation was very good, comfy beds, hot tub, enclosed garden for dogs 10 mins walk to beach,5 mins walk to ChipShop, Pub, Chinese, Indian, Tesco, Cafes all really good and recommended Weather was excellent too - generally is when we come to Anglesey :) Visited Red Wharf Beach, Moelfre, Penmon, Newborough Beach, Famous Train Station, Pentraeth, Beaumaris,Rhosneiger, Holyhead, Treaddur Bay and would recommend all of them :)

The holiday home had the feel of somewhere that had been "cobbled together" with a view to getting it ready ASAP to rent out to the general public.

Key areas of disappointment were: - low water pressure mean only one shower at once could be used. - only 2 sunbeds and 1 outdoor chair for a house of 6 people - the beds were unsupportive (soft) and small. - general unfinished/sloppy workmanship on the majority of the fixtures and fittings. - Electric car charging point had failed to be registered with the manufacturer and so couldn't be used. That said, the host was very friendly and nice to talk to.

The house was clean and tidy.

It had all the moden things. A welcome book with instructions would have been useful. The houses are all close together so not much car space. It was quite and peaceful. Owner helpful. Internet net and signal was not good but as we had lovely weather it didn't matter. Locally take aways were all open and the beach is beautiful.

The house was exactly as the advert had described it.

It was comfortable and stylish and met all of our needs. The garden was lovely and spacious and the hot tub a treat.
