“A beautiful very spacious apartment with spectacular views.”

Everything you could need is there. However there were a couple of 'issues'. First and foremost is that the sofa in the lounge is extremely uncomfortable. Secondly, the toilet tissue in all areas is of the cheapest, smallest, two-ply type. I expected better. (Try 'Nicky' from Home Bargains!) Finally, I have never been required to strip the beds in any previous rentals. I don't expect to pay a premium price and have to do this, presumably to save the 'housekeeper' some work.

“Our second stay here!”

Love the location and the property. Very accessible for elderly parents who have mobility issues..no need to leave as such great views! The property has everything we required. The welcome basket was a real treat as were all the extras that made cooking so much easier. I have stayed at several where a tea bag is not even available on arrival! The place is immaculate and a credit to house keeping. We will be back again!

“Beautiful apartment that overlooks Menai Straits and across to the Snowdon Range.”

House positioned high above the road so views are spectacular. Outside sitting area to enjoy the views too. Kitchen is extremely well equipped and up to date. Warm and comfortable with contemporary furnishings throughout. Highly recommended.

“No recycling facilities.”

We spent a lot of time trying to find somewhere to take our recycling to. We had to clean the vacuum cleaner as it put out more dirt than picking it up. The property is absolutely beautiful

“We had a lovely stay at this stunning apartment - the views are incredible and the apartment was well equipped and furnished to a high standard.”

It is also really well located and despite being quite high up the road access is really good and simple to drive. The box of games/sports equipment was a nice touch too. The kitchen had everything you might need and the little welcome pack of goodies was lovely. The only negative thing I have to say is that the master bedroom was very warm, even with the fan on and despite having huge impressive windows, they don’t open so the only ventilation option is to leave the patio door open which I wasn’t comfortable with while I was sleeping. Having said that, I would love to stay here again because everything else was perfect!

“Keycode in part of the listing was wrong.”

Apart from that, it was an amazing property, easy directions, super clean, great facilities, great outlook. We've already booked again for March next year

“The best apartment we have ever stayed in , with the most stunning views, will definitely recommend this place to anyone.”

“Superb apartment in a beautiful manor house conversion set in a stunning location.”

Easy access to Anglesey beaches, Beaumaris, and all around the Snowdon area, etc. This was our second visit and we will definitely be back.

“If Carlsberg did a holiday cottage it would look something like this!”

Bryn Mel apartment (No7) is by far the best place we have stayed. Spacious, comfortable, very high quality fixtures & fittings and a spectacular bedroom balcony with fabulous views. We have booked again for next year. The only negative is the condition of the boardwalk. There are broken handrails and the lower half is treacherously slippy. It is an accident waiting to happen.

“I want to start with how much we love this apartment.”

We’ve stayed in a few different apartments in Bryn Mel Manor but this one is our absolute favourite and this was our 3rd stay here. Our 18 yr old daughter absolutely loves it too. It’s a perfect base to explore or just relax and breathe in the sensational view. Our stay this time was spoilt by boiler issues that were raised with Sykes directly. Obviously this wasn’t a planned problem so we were very patient and amicable while I spent 4 days glued to my phone waiting for callbacks from Sykes and waiting in for an Engineer. It was Easter weekend with 2 bank holidays which possibly slowed responses down. Again we tried to be very understanding but the situation was causing me some stress because we were told we may need to move somewhere else which wasn’t ideal. The Housekeeping Manager even came to try and help and told us we should’ve had a welcome basket. We had only received a packet of Welsh cakes and arrived to a kitchen we had to clean over ourselves. We eventually ended up with an outcome that just about suited us. I would assume the boiler issue will have been rectified now and won’t cause anyone any further problems. The last few days of our break were relaxing and we would like to visit again. It’s a beautiful apartment and we know how great stays here can be from past experience. I did hold off posting this because a Sykes manager was supposed to call me back within 48 hours of us returning from holiday to make some amends. After 2 weeks that looks unlikely.

“We have stayed in this apartment and the one above previously.”

The views from here are amazing, the apartment is bright and modern. The facilities are really good. However, there seemed to be a lump in the double bed in the small bedroom. It would be better if this bed was changed to a King size one anyway as there is space. On a personal note I would prefer to have bath sheets rather than bath towels. We were unlucky enough to be in Wales when the '20mph' came into force. My husband says he will not come back to Wales again until it goes back - traffic was building up in places even at this time of year.

“The milk in the welcome pack was out of date.”

The Welsh cakes were reduced to crumbs in the pack. Place mate weren't cleaned properly. The wall mirror in the bath room was missing. The table in the covered outside area was filthy, we had to clean it several times before we could use it. The area had not been swept clean. The comunial entrance did not give a good first impression. The number sent by email to the key safe was the wrong number.

David September 2022

“Really enjoyed our stay, this is a spacious very well equipped apartment with panoramic views across the straight to Snowdonia.”

Plenty of lovely walking and and sight seeing in a great part of Wales. Cleaner had generally prepared property well but had missed the odd item although that is perhaps being picky. Eg What we take to be toothbrush holder. Address also included in some correspondence Dolphin House which is actually a separate property. No problem with awarding all 5 stars and hope to go back.

“We loved staying in Bryn Mel.”

So much so we hardly left all week. The views are stunning and ever changing. The apartment itself was very quiet, the building was busy over bank holiday weekend but we heard no one. The apartment is well appointed with good instructions. Access was great and parking was easy. The key safe was very tricky to use but we got there in the end. The mattress on the master bedroom bed is showing signs of age. If replacing, a king size bed would be a great addition. Overall we had a restful holiday and neither of the above points would deter us from returning. A huge thank you to the owner for sharing this stunning property with us.

“The apartment is ideally located to see the jaw dropping and ever changing views across the Menai.”

It is so quiet and relaxing, tastefully decorated, clean and comfortable. We will definitely be booking another stay!

Views were breathtaking. Absolutely nothing to complain about. A 5 star experience.

Sue September 2021

“Bryn Mel gave you the wow factor when you entered the apartment.”

Much bigger than the photos suggest, stylish, good quality furnishings and with the most amazing views. There was everything you could ask for and clear guidance on how to use the appliances, which was very useful. The coastal walks maps were a thoughtful extra. King size beds would be an added bonus (the rooms are big enough to take them), and a washing machine would be useful. Overall, a very relaxing stay in an amazing location. We would happily return.

“This is an exceptional apartment with amazing views from every aspect.”

It is well equipped, homely and comfortable. Wonderful location with easy access to Caernarfon, Bangor and the whole of Anglesey.

“We did have a fabulous stay at Bryn Mel apartment.”

We left some comments for the owner and he did ask us to pass these on to you as well. Some of the crockery is chipped and needs replacing. The mats in the entrance halls, both inside and out, are starting to curl and are a trip hazard. The recycling bins had not been emptied and were completely full. The vacuum cleaner had not been emptied for some time and it was difficult to clear out. There was mention of a welcome pack in the notes but there was nothing in the apartment. From a personal point of view, the beds with their footboards are too short and sleeping on the sofa is difficult because the fridge is quite noisy. Lighter weight quilts would be preferable in warmer weather and blackout blinds would be welcome in the bedrooms. Please let me have your response to these comments and forward this email to the owner as we have added some extra comments to those left at the property. Regards, Michael Smith.

“Amazing view of the Menai straits from the apartment.”

Very well equipped especially the kitchen and very clean. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to come back again

“The accommodation exceeded expectations and was even better than the pictures.”

An excellent set up and great for someone with restricted mobility. The views are amazing and no matter what the weather are fab to look out at. This was my first venture out for my parents in over a year they were relaxed and happy and warm! An absolute gem of a place we will be back. Linda and Phil Harris.

David August 2020

“We were fortunate in our holiday to have the combination of an easing of Covid-19 restrictions with some fine summer weather.”

No 7 Bryn Mel Manor was well appointed, very comfortable and easy to look after. The views from the terrace over the Straits are to die for and the setting close to the bridges is hard to beat with so much to do in a short distance. Thank You.

- David, August 2020
Jane July 2020

“The apartment was lovely and very well equipped.”

I have not been impressed with Sykes as they seem to be extremely difficult to get in to contact with. For example, my daughter left a personal possession at the apartment and I sent an email to Sykes asking if it had been found and nearly weeks later there has not been a reply. We have previously booked apartments with Home and Away and you book with the owner - much better contact and customer support!

“Bryn Mel Apartment 7 was quite the best rented accommodation that we have stayed at on Anglesey and in North Wales .”

The Apartment was beautifully furnished and had everything that we needed for a very relaxing stay . The views are sublime from every room and we particularly liked the Observation Lounge off the main bedroom . Being in Menai Bridge is so convenient for the whole of Anglesey and Snowdonia . We even had very good weather . We are regular users of Menai Holiday Cottages and visitors to Anglesey and will definitely return to this Flat . I must apologise for forgetting to write a message in the book in the flat . We were too busy chatting to the bin man who helped us sort the rubbish . Please tell the owners how much we liked No 7

“This was a return visit to this fabulous apartment.”

The setting is amazing and even though the weather was very changeable the view always held something of interest. This time we came with friends and they too were completely smitten.

“This is a beautiful apartment, the views are stunning, finished to a very high standard, very clean.”

The owner really helpful. We found it very relaxing to stay here, a lovely building in an amazing setting. The weather wasn't great and the apartment was warm and very comfortable. A few small improvements, there were not many towels per person, no towel in the cloakroom. We found a supply of towels under a bed, towards the end of the holiday. And no mirrors in the bathrooms except small shaving mirrors. As there was no dressing table areas in the bedrooms, it was difficult for the ladies to style their hair. Not really a problem but unusual. An amazing place, with lovely grounds and we will look to return. Lovely holiday

“Very relaxing.”

The apartment was really spacious with fantastic views of the Menai Straits & the mountains-always something of interest to see. This place was luxurious with easy parking, huge tv, excellent kitchen/diner together with lovely bathrooms. Nice feeling of being in a well looked after & fairly new apartment with beautiful wooden doors, floors and wardrobes. The only downside was the fact that there were no curtains in the bedrooms to shield us from very bright moonlight in a clear sky and also we were not able to improve the air quality.

“Bryn Mel is a stunning apartment in a very beautiful location.”

Everything you could possibly need is in the apartment. Views across the Menai Strait to Snowdonia are amazing and constantly change. It is situated between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris and easily accessible to both. The owner is very accommodating and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. We didn't want to leave. Fabulous.

Menai Bridge 1.6 miles; Beaumaris 3 miles; Bangor 4.3 miles.

Glyngarth is in a fantastic setting in between Beaumaris and Menai Bridge overlooking the Menai Straits. Often a brilliant blue, these shallow tidal waters are crossed by two bridges, allowing easy access to the attractions of Anglesey and the mainland. The castle and pier at Beaumaris make a lovely day out, or you can catch a boat to enjoy a trip out to Puffin Island. The Anglesey Coastal Path takes in beautiful scenery, and the island is home to many fine beaches including Rhosneigr, Trearddur Bay and Red Wharf Bay. The National Trust mansion Plas Newydd is on the island, while on the mainland further National Trust properties can be found including Penrhyn Castle and Bodnant Gardens. The spectacular mountains and lakes of Snowdonia are just a short drive way, with plenty of castles, beaches and other attractions on offer in this wonderful region. The Menai Straits really does offer the best of both worlds!
