Melody

Excellent property located right by the beach!

Perfect for large families! Third time we have stayed at this property and it’s keeps getting better and better!

Firstly the property is in a fabulous location , a few minutes away from the sea.

We were a group of 6 adults, with 3 vehicles, and the driveway comfortable accommodated all of them. The house was spotless, and there was a small welcome box including milk and Welsh cakes. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the linen was nice. We had a brilliant holiday there, but would like to inform the owners of a few little tweaks that would make the stay more enjoyable. more loo rolls would be the first thing, there was barely a third of a roll in the ground floor bathroom and no spares in the other two. There is only one hairdryer in the property, and considering that it sleeps 8 people, this was a little annoying in the mornings. There is no bread knife or potato peeler, and a couple more trays for the oven would be good. There was no litter bin in the ground floor bedroom. A spare dustbin bag for the main kitchen bin would have been useful as would some small glasses for fruit juice or spirits. The television in the lounge keeps freezing, causing us all to move into another room for the England football game. Like we say,, only small things,then it would be a super 5 star. We would not hesitate to stay here again, and we can recommend the local chippy and the caffi bach. The little Morrisons is useful in Cemaes as there doesnt seem to be any large supermarkets outside of Holyhead. We would recommend anyone visiting who is largely self catering to have a food delivery. Very dog friendly, safe enclosed garden. Unfortunately we didnt have the weather to use the hot tub. If you are staying here, please visit the Newborough forest and beach. Definitely the highlight of our visit.

Melody is a lovely holiday home, comfortable and with plenty of space.

The log burner is gorgeous and we valued the extra living room to spread out into. The village high street is under a 10 minute walk away giving easy access to the local shop and pub. The beach/promenade is even closer. The walk is steep so tricky for anyone with mobility/health issues to walk back up. The garden is a sun trap and the hot tub is a lovely added extra to enjoy. The downstairs bathroom and bedroom are great for anyone who finds stairs difficult. As a family of 5 adults we had plenty of space to be together or do our own thing.

What a fabulous holiday let.

We spent a week here and had the best time. The house is comfortable & the location is great. Can’t wait to come back.

we had a fantastic week at Melody, a lovely house in a beautiful area!

we were a party of 6 and it never felt crowded, loads of space and perhaps the nicest bathrooms and showers we've ever had in a holiday cottage! the hot tub was amazing though no used as much as i'd thought it would be by us certainly a place we'd likely return to! !

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house.

The bedrooms were spotless and beautifully clean, and the whole place felt spacious and comfortable. The location was perfect — great for scenic walks and just a short distance from the village and a welcoming local pub. There was plenty of car parking, which made everything so convenient. The hot tub was an added bonus and made our stay even more enjoyable. We had a fantastic stay at this lovely house.

Myself and 3 friends has a beautiful relaxing weekend at Melody cottage.

Despite an uninvited guest in the form of storm Amy, this caused the internet to be intermittent meaning the hive heating system didn’t work, after corresponding with the owner it was resolved quickly and efficiently. Sapna dealt with the situation and kept in touch with us throughout the weekend. Thank you so much Sapna and your house was beautiful, comfortable and we had a great time

We had an amazing time despite it being a very wet weekend we still had so much fun on rainy walks and playing board games around the dining table.

The size of the property is perfect, and in a great location. We will definitely be back.

The property was fabulous, exactly as described, ideally located for the harbour and the town.

We had a fantastic week in melody, it's clean and comfortable and a lovely space to stay in.

The garden is a nice size for the kids to play and the dog to have a run round. It's cosy yet spacious with the beach a very short walk away.

Nice property, clean and tidy, and perfect location for town, the beach and coastal walks.

Hot tub was roomy and well positioned, particularly relaxing after long walks. Some great weather and sunsets during our stay. The owner kindly rang us on our second night there, to ensure that everything was to our liking and satisfaction. A nice touch I thought. Will definitely stay here again, and will recommend to family and friends.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location

Great stay, only thing i would say is that we paid a lot of money to stop over Christmas (with children on the booking) and no decorations/tree

The house was lovely, clean and well kept and in a great location.

The hot tub was a great bonus too. The only problem was the front door key from the key safe would not work. Luckily, as we were trying the key in the back doors we found a door that had been left unlocked. We contacted Sykes who said they would send someone round with a different key, however noone ever came. Therefore, during our stay we used one of the back door keys instead, (despite it being on keyring which said, Do Not Remove from the house). Despite this we had a great time and would return.

Perfect location for beach walks with dogs.

The layout of the accommodation and well stocked kitchen is excellent for catering for a large family. We especially enjoyed the side lounge room to read and play scrabble and the hot tub was a nice treat. We would love to enjoy the garden in warmer months and will rebook. The cleaning company do a superb job here.

We loved the location of Melody, Cemaes bay is beautiful and the property is a very nice house with nice fixtures and fittings.

However that being said the people in before us had caused damage in the main bathroom meaning we could not use it for the duration of our stay. We were advised by the owner this would be resolved on the Sunday or Monday. The handyman arrived the day before we left on the Friday at an inconvenient time, we therefore advised him to come back the following day as we were checking out. Upon arrival the garden was full of dog poo and poorly maintained and the cleaning of the property was very poor with food and sweets, dead bugs etc underneath sofas and beds. I contacted Sykes on numerous occasions to enquire whether the bathroom was going to be fixed and heard nothing back. We provided photographs and told them about the poor standard of cleaning, overgrown garden, problems with EV charger etc. Ultimately we booked this property as it had 3 bathrooms, EV charger, hot tub etc, however we couldn’t use the facilities we required and paid for. Things happen, Needless to say we would not recommend.

We (6 adults and a toddler) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Melody.

It was very well equipped and surprisingly spacious. To be honest we could not fault the property and we would certainly recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in Cemaes.

Melody was the perfect location for our work team get together.

The house was gorgeous, ideal for a weekend of catching up and chilling. Caemes Bay is beautiful and ideal for exploring round the costal paths. We would definitely recommend this house.

We had a fantastic stay at 'Melody' the downstairs bedroom was perfect for my elderly parents.

The house was immaculate and well equipped. I would definitely recommend a visit. Many thanks

We had a great holiday,the house was fantastic just as described on line we would definitely recommend to others.

We will definitely book again.

Great holiday home just a few niggle.

All TV remotes were low battery and the Amazon smart TV in the side room near the laundry.is not working and an issue with the hot tub which was resolved. No mention in welcome book about bin collection or which bin to recycle.

Very clean and comfortable accommodation.

Plenty of comfortable seating for a large family. Perfect accommodation if traveling with somebody that is not good on stairs as there is a comfortable downstairs double bedroom and adjacent shower room. House is conveniently located a short distance from the beach and cafes. There is a very small Morrisons which has the basics but for a larger shop you would need to travel out of Cemaes Bay. I would highly reccommend this house.

the property was all that was advertised - very clean and well presented the property is located in an excellent location - approx 5/10 mins from the harbour and the village high street (bit longer coming back - uphill) two places i would recommend the HARBOUR hotel and bistro - enjoyed two excellent meals there CAFFI BACH traeth mawr cafe in the car park( approx 5mins walk downhill) they served excellent snacks and drinks - and i would recommend the wood fired pizza's - had them twice as takeaways i would certainly recommend MELODY and we hope to return soon

Yeah I would definitely recommend you to friends and family we all loved the house especially the hot tub and near the beach but the only thing was not many places to eat out but we all had a good relaxing time

The house is beautiful and well equipped for a large family the rooms are light and airy the bedrooms lovely and comfortable beds , the hot tub made the holiday for my four grandchildren.

I would definitely recommend it's walking distance to a lovely beach and shop , nice area and would definitely like to go again. Many thanks

Firstly thank u to Sykes and the owners for being flexible in allowing us to amend the booking date due to the loss of my mum-in-law.

Beautiful spotlessly clean house, easily fits 3x cars on the drive. Bathroom fittings and decor are very clean and modern, powerful hot showers, could have done with some spare bath towels and toilet rolls. We loved the furniture in the bedrooms, note the middle bedroom bed is a bit creaky. Open plan lounge, diner, kitchen perfect for a big group. Nice big garden, the decked area is lovely, the rest of the garden doesn’t match the modern house. Suggest the description for the property recommends people bring beach towels to use after the hot tub. House had everything we needed, I was pleased there was a vacuum as the hallway got sandy from our shoes. It was a bonus to find cling film, tin foil, hand wash, washing up scourer, dishcloth, washing up liquid, small supply of coffee, tea, sugar, milk. Owner kindly rang me on day 2 to see if we were ok and to explain about a loose toilet seat that she was awaiting replacement of. We met the cleaners as we were leaving, very friendly and even they said they love the house. Would recommend this property, the area is beautiful but quiet, it had enough for us for 3x days. We visited Beaumaris (40min), Penmon Point, Red Wharf Bay, Church Bay, Llandeusant.

We have stayed in cottages for many years and I would rate this as one of the best we have stayed in.

Bedrooms big and plentiful, living space amazing and showers to die for! The hot tub's not bad either. The only thing we missed was a barbecue, but very minor in the overall experience.

We were delighted with this property; it has restored our faith and trust in Sykes Cottages.

This is the fifth cottage that we have rented via Sykes in the last 12 months. The last one had been very disappointing but this was exceptional, as have the others that we have enjoyed. It was spotless - much appreciated by the ladies in the party. We would certainly book this cottage again should we return to Anglesey and have already recommended it to friends.

I would come back again, it’s very nice and I would recommend it to anybody

Property was great, just to note the kitchen extractor fan didn’t work and there were no oven gloves

The house is situated a short walk from Cemaes Bay (with a lovely sandy beach and rock pools for the kids), and is clearly a well loved and looked after house with everything you could wish for.

We really enjoyed the hot tub as well!

Beautiful house with everything that you need.

Ideally situated near to beach and shop. Just a couple of little things that could improve your stay: Would be nice to have a few more cleaning products to make sure it’s clean when leaving. It would be a good idea to have a foot towel near the patio doors for when you get Out of the hot tub so you don’t wet the flooring when coming in. Couldn’t find the switch to turn on the extractor fan above the hob.

Really enjoyed the house, only thing was en-suite toilet seat was loose and bedroom door wouldn’t latch closed so had to but bag behind to keep door closed but other than that a lovely house and area would love to revisit in the summer.

I don't usually provide feedback, but feel it appropriate and necessary on this occasion.

Our thoughts regarding Melody can easily be split into 2 sections - inside and outside. Location: The view of the coast from the property is very limited, but the location is very handy for easy access to the beach and pretty harbour area, and the village tourist and grocery shops, pubs /cafe/ chip shop are just a short stroll away. We found it to be a quiet and very friendly village. Inside: The house fixtures and fittings have been fitted out to a high specification, modern, clean and comfortable - it's lovely. We were frustrated to be without simple kitchenware like casseroles and serving spoons, and a choice of wine glass other than the lovely large goblets to enjoy a champagne moment would have been nice... There is plenty of storage space in kitchen cupboards that swallowed our food delivery with ease. We had an issue when trying to connect the wifi, and in a very short time the property owner was on the phone and was very concerned and helpful . A nice approach. Outside: Before we booked Melody, we read other feedback saying that gates were needed on either side of the house to prevent dogs getting out of the back garden and onto the road. I spoke with Sykes, who contacted the owners, gates were fitted and we felt happy to book our holiday. On arrival, we found the gates were great - but the rear garden had a quite new but incomplete fence down one side, leaving a 2 foot gap where an attempt had been made to block it with a collapsed bamboo screen.... and part of the rear boundary that was not fenced at all - just a grassy bank and hedging with large gaps beneath. So the access out to the front was dog friendly, but the pet security of the side and back were sadly lacking - very disappointing considering that Sykes and the owners were both aware of our concerns before our booking. Our Sykes contact confirmed that, following my call on arrival day, the owners had been made aware of our fencing concerns, but during a direct phone call they claimed to be unaware and unable to help during our stay. My advice to dog owners would be to seek confirmation of improvement before booking. The garden was the only one in the street that had long grass, front and rear, and the rear raised paving area had loose paving stones that were very unsteady, nearly resulting in a fall - I wonder if having given the house a make over, and fitted an extensive quality decking area, the remainder of the garden might be a future project? I hope so because the house deserves it. Either way, it will come too late to rescue what should have been our relaxed holiday. The house is lovely, and we would certainly consider going again, but not until the garden issues are properly addressed.

A fabulous property in a great location, a wonderful stay was had by us and our dogs.

It would be useful to have a quick checklist, that is easy to find, about bin collection days, what to do with used bed linen & towels on leaving and a reminder of the leaving time. It would also have been handy to have use of a vacuum cleaner as just using a brush and dustpan isn't very effective. We had a great time and the open plan layout of the property was lovely. Thank you.

Brilliant stay.

Close to everything and house had all we needed.

Beautiful property and excellent location.

Peaceful stay.

This property has everything you need for a good family break, we went with our 2 children and our grandchildren.

The girls had to share a double bed it was OK as they weren't to old. In my opinion it would have been better if one of the double rooms did have twin beds each family had there own bathrooms. It's a perfect location close to the sea . Would we go again. Yes definitely. The property was clean we had a issue on arrival as the cot we asked for wasn't available we contacted sykes and within 30 minutes a few phone calls this was rectified. In the information folder there is no information of when the refuse collection are this would be handy as the recycling containers were full when we got there and still full when we left.

Lovely holiday.

The property was a joy to stay in. The hot tub was a great bonus The beds a little small as used to king beds at home. Perfect holiday with various age group.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful place.

The house is very comfortable and tastefully decorated and the photos don’t do it justice. 4 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms provided plenty of space for all our family with elderly parents and 3 older teens. We all enjoyed the cozy lounge with the fire burning and the dining area was perfect for a family meal. The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed by the kids and the older generation loved the sunroom especially the board games which were a lovely touch. There was ample parking for the 3 cars we arrived in on the driveway and it was just a minutes walk to the bottom of the street and across the road to the beautiful beach. In the village within a few minutes walk to the left we found a fabulous chip shop, gift store, Morrisons local, 2 pubs and the lovely harbour restaurant and bar where we enjoyed 2 evening meals. The teen’s favourite was the farm shop vending machine selling lovely local milkshake and treat’s just a 10 minute walk to the right, well worth a visit! We had a lovely break in the perfect location to celebrate our wedding anniversary

Accommodation was outstanding.

the lay out was brilliant for us as a 7 with 1 medium dog. Very relaxing with hot tub. 2 gates been added to side of house so pets can't get out, after reading earlier review was a little worried about this. Could do with 2 extra small pans for cooking. Took our own cleaning stuff again after reading review but been add in accommodation. Also on arrived was tea coffee small milk and Welsh cakes Definitely go back again .

We had a lovely time, and would definitely book again: just one small issue, it’s advertised as dog friendly and we took our 2 dogs but both side entrances to the house were not blocked off at all, no gates and dogs could get out easily!

Otherwise it was lovely, clean, very comfortable and we had a fabulous stay. Thank you

An enjoyable stay in a beautifully renovated and decorated house, ideally located for beach access and coastal walks.

The village has all the amenities you might need within a few minutes walk. Milk, Welsh Cakes, dishwasher tablets and washer pods, washing up liquid left for our use. Beds comfortable, bedding and towels spotless and fresh. The hot tub is brilliant addition! As the second occupants might we suggest a hoover, mop and polish for the wooden dining table. Having two small grandchildren and dog, these would have helped to keep on top of crumbs and spillages. A few small serving dishes, a teapot and large cutting board would also have been useful. The outside bin was full on arrival and wasn’t collected the week of our stay when we checked the council website. A note for dog owners, there is open access to both sides of the property. Such a shame that the televisions wouldn’t connect to the wifi (there isn’t a tv ariel). The owner was contactable and apologetic…the lovely “housekeeper” called round with her husband to try to solve the problem to no avail. A few tweaks and Melody is perfect!!

The house is amazing and beautifully decorated.

we had a fantastic stay with you. the location was perfect. beds are super comfy. the log burner is a great touch. A couple of small things to either list as not provided, or to provide would be: Bin bags more information on where to dispose of rubbish a hoover or sweeping brush as we wanted to sweep the floors to keep them clean only small details. other than that, we would definitely book again and recommend this to anyone
