“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Smithy Cottage.”

The accommodation was nicely presented and well thought out making good use of space, it was also spotless.The bed and sofa were comfy and there was plenty of storage. We had everything that we needed and more. The outside area was fabulous, fully enclosed which gave us peace of mind for our dog and the area outside was very quiet. The hot tub was great and the patio seating was comfy, what a sun trap. David was very helpful, thank you for our stay. We can’t wait to return.

Elaine June 2026

“The accommodation is well equipped and comfortable.”

We really enjoyed the hot tub and the garden was secure for our dog. Cemaes is a pleasant village with cafes and a fish shop, the two pubs have outside seating and there is a lovely ice cream bar. The extensive woodland and river side walks that leads to the harbour and beach were perfect for us. DJ was helpful and friendly and made us feel really welcome.

- Elaine, June 2026

We were so pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay with us and also enjoyed the village and all it has to offer. Property Owner

“Yes it was ok, could here a bit going on, from the ajoining property, lovely and comfortable cottage, spot on hot tub, just wished we had the weather, but you cant book that unfortunately.”

- Steve, May 2026

Glad that you enjoyed our lovely and comfortable home. We are now having a heat wave since you left but thank you for coming and glad you enjoyed. Property Owner
Paul March 2026

“We arrived at Smithy Cottage and thought it was a great place to explore Anglesy.”

Sadly it was on a main road with no onsite parking. The place was smaller than expected but was clean, well equipped, lovely decor and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub very much. The first night we heard some noise from the connected property but not alot. At 5am the next day we were awakened by the floorboards from the bedroom above our bed. It continued for over an hour. We could also hear the bathroom being used and the shower, very clearly. We could hear their conversation too. We decided to leave half way through the week as the noise from the floorboards and bathroom became unbearable, disturbing our sleep. Also privacy is an issue as your hot tub is next to their conservatory and bathroom window looks out into their yard. We were given a partial refund but sadly it spoiled our much needed break.

- Paul, March 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We were of course vey saddened by your experience and hence the gesture. The hot tub is private and not as you describe because the conservatory windows have been filmed to prevent privacy being disturbed. Property Owner

Andrew October 2025

“Our stay at Smithy Cottage was perfect.”

The accommodation was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. It was ideally situated for a stroll into the village of Cemaes, whilst being peaceful, safe and secure for our three dogs. The bed was extremely comfortable as was the settee. In addition the hot tub was a fantastic way to relax and unwind. We can’t wait to return sometime in the near future and explore more of the stunningly beautiful area around Cemaes Bay. The owner David was very friendly and helpful, we’d definitely like to return to Smithy Cottage for a opportunity to recharge the batteries once again.

- Andrew, October 2025

Thank you for your lovely feedback about our lovely studio cottage. We look forward to welcoming you and your three poochies back next time. Property Owner
Denise October 2025

“Lovely accommodation.”

Exactly as described. Close to beach and shops. Amazing hot tub. Owner is close by to help with anything you need. We couldn’t get the tv channels and owner came within 10 minutes and showed us how to work the remote control. Would definitely stay again.

- Denise, October 2025

We were so pleased to read that you enjoyed our home and that you found everything close to hand. Glad you enjoyed the hot tub as well. We look forward to welcoming you back next time. Property Owner
Gillian September 2025

“Enjoyed our stay, the property has everything required for 2 people.”

The location of the property means that the harbour is a manageable walk even if you have mobility issues which I have. The outside area was very handy especially for our dog & even though the weather wasn’t great we managed to get in the hot tub which was lovely. We love Anglesey so will be back.

We were so pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay at our home and we look forward to welcoming you back. Property Owner
Andy April 2025

“A perfect cottage for our break in Wales.”

Ideally situated within walking distance of the beach and shops and all amenities. Will certainly be coming back to this cottage. The listings give it as located behind two gates by a laybye when infact the gates have been removed and a fence and small gate put in its place. Look for the horses head gateposts, not the two gates. Very friendly owner who has a number of properties in the area. well decorated and clean.

- Andy, April 2025

We were so pleased to read that you found a home a perfect cottage for your break in Wales. We so looking forward to welcoming you back next time. Property Owner

“Location spot on 10/10 Parking 10/10 Property 8/10 Facilities 8/10 Cleanliness 9/10 (external let it down) Property is as described although smaller than expected, for me the kitchen has too many appliances , 1 kettle 2 coffee machines 4 slice toaster T/C/S barrels they take up all of the worktop space if you were on a S/C break, less is more.”

The kitchen is fine but in need of a little maintenance some of the draw fronts are loose you have to be careful opening and closing them the washing machine front was already off, easy fix, plenty utensils pans trays etc , couch and bed are very comfy better sleep than at home

- Andrew, July 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We were so pleased to read that you found our lovely studio in a great location with more than sufficient facilities/amenities. Property Owner
Tony July 2024

“Had small issue with neighbours dogs barking which David the owner quickly resolved.”

Cottage is nice size for 2 people and pets. All patio is enclosed for privacy and security for your dogs with an extra bolt on inside of gate. The hot tub is to die for. Loved it and booked again for next year. Great communication with David the owner.

- Tony, July 2024

John May 2024

“What a lovely place, small yes, but suited our every need wonderful.”

DJ & Lee were brilliant any problem, however small they sorted, not that there was many. Cemaes Bay as well is a brilliant base for any travels, it's also a nice place to walk around and enjoy the area. The harbour pub gave us a cracking meal and great drinks and vey friendly service. A very enjoyable holiday from start to finish.

- John, May 2024

We were so pleased to read that you enjoyed Smithy Cottage and had an enjoyable holiday. Property Owner
Judith May 2024

“It was nice to be able to take our 2 dogs.”

The kitchen was fine but it could do with a new kettle. Living and sleeping are small but fine. Bathroom also fine too. Unfortunately you can hear everything your neighbours do in the bathroom (quite clearly) and the bedroom above noises can be interesting to say the least but I guess there's not much that can be done about that as they are on their holiday's too.... soundproofing the walls and ceiling is all I could come up with.

- Judith, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback and we were delighted you enjoyed your stay with your 2 dogs. Property Owner
Caroline April 2024

“A lovely little cottage just a stones throw from the beach and harbour.”

Although Smithy is quite small, it ticks all the boxes for a really cosy, comfortable weeks stay. It's well equipped too. We were made to feel very welcome.

- Caroline, April 2024

We were so pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay at our home and found it close to the beach and harbour. We were also pleased to read that it ticked all the boxes and that you found it really cosy and comfortable. Property Owner
Theresa April 2024

“Accommodation smaller than we expected however it was very clean and comfortable with everything you need.”

Ideally placed at the top of the village with shops chippy and a lovely pub (Stag) all within walking distance as are the various walks around the coast and a 15min walk to the Bay view restaurant which is excellent. We would highly recommend this for couples looking for a short break in the beautiful area of North Wales.

- Theresa, April 2024

We were pleased to read that you enjoyed your stay at our home and that you found it very clean and comfortable and that it had everything you needed. Our home is a wonderful, popular Manhattan-style, open plan studio and great for couples (and their pets). It was lovely to read that you would highly recommend our home and we hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner
Janet January 2024

“We had a wonderful week at Smithy Cottage in beautiful Cemaes.”

The cottage was comfortable, warm, well equipped & made even more special by the relaxing hot tub which we made full use of. A special thank you for welcoming our 3 dogs who also greatly enjoyed their stay.

Eric October 2023

“We enjoyed a very peaceful and relaxing few days at Smithy Cottage.”

The owner was always at hand if needed and lived close by in case of any emergencies if any arose but they didn't. Great facilities and the large bubbling hot tub was very welcome even on the coolest of nights. Will definitely recommend this place for couples who just want an enjoyable and relaxing break away. Great local pub and award winning chippy nearby.

- Eric, October 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback and we were so pleased to read that you enjoyed a very peaceful and relaxing few days at our lovely cottage. We were also very pleased to read that you thought we provided great facilities and that you enjoyed the bubbling hot tub. There is something very special about getting into a nice warm hot tub, even on the coolest of nights. We are very fortunate in Cemaes Bay to enjoy some really fabulous skies at night and stargazing can be amazing. Thank you in advance for your willingness to recommend our lovely little home.

Paul September 2023

“Fantastic studio apartment with great host David, used jacuzzi every day , great location especially for our four legged friends .”

. around corner from river walk and 10 mins from Cemaes beach and harbour. Super compact and efficient but be weary smaller than it looks on website if travelling with big dogs.

- Paul, September 2023

"Super compact and efficient but be smaller than it looks on website ...." So glad to read that you liked our compact studio home. We do have larger places (for up to 6 people) and several 'well-behaved poochies'. We were so pleased to read that you found our cottage a fantastic studio apartment. So glad that you got to use the hot tub every day - it can make such a difference after a long day out exploring. So pleased that, like so many, you found our home to be in a great location - especially for your four legged friends who we love to welcome. The very close river walk is great for the poochies and the beach is also dog friendly so we are glad that you got to enjoy that. Property Owner
Thomas August 2023

“Smithy cottage is perfect for a couples break with dogs.”

It has everything you could need and DJ the owner is fantastic and if you require any help he is on it straight away. The location is perfect and just a short walk into the village with a great pub the Stag and the lovely beaches. We had a fantastic week and would highly recommend Ceames as a location and DJ as the perfect host. Thanks for an amazing week. Will see you again in the future.

- Thomas, August 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We were so pleased to read that you found Smithy Cottage perfect for your needs and, of course, the poochies. We were also pleased to read that you found the location perfect. As you say, it is just a short walk into the village and not far from the Stag and Cemaes Bay's lovely beaches. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Property Owner

Barbara April 2023

“Loose toilet seat.”

Black mould in shower. Knackered settee, very uncomfortable. Curtains dirty at the bottom. Very noisy from adjoining house. Doesn't show in photos that one of their bedrooms is over our bed and they had creaky floors. Also toilet noise from next door. Photos also do not show how close property is to a busy road. Hot tub not relaxing with traffic noise and people passing close by.

- Barbara, April 2023

Having contacted you and provided you with our telephone numbers', it was disappointing to read your comments - particularly as you did not notify us of any issue(s) during your stay. We had asked you if everything was OK, but you did not reply and we did not hear anything from you during your stay. Sadly, if we do not know there is an issue, we cannot help. We informed you that we live very close by. Smithy Cottage has received many positive comments which have been provided by guests who have stayed with us. You only have to read the reviews to see that the hot tub gets rave reviews. The road you mention is a minor road which takes you into the village. We have spoken to you this morning and it quickly became evident that you had booked a cottage which was not ideally suited to your specific needs. That's a shame as we have 5 other properties in the village and had we known there was an issue, we might have been able to help. Property Owner
Nicola April 2023

“Lovely little cottage.”

Diane March 2023

“We really enjoyed our stay here, can’t fault it on arrival it was very clean and kitchen was very well equipped and to our delight there was a nespresso coffee maker and milk frother as we do enjoy a good coffee.”

The hot tub was an added bonus, which was well maintained and lovely to relax in even on a cold rainy night. The village was lovely and friendly and easy walk to beaches and pubs and cafes.

- Diane, March 2023

We were so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our Cottage Diane and enjoyed the hot tub and, of course, the coffee machine. Property Owner
Gillian October 2022

“Perfect little cottage for a break, a little bit too much stuff for the size however it has everything and more you need.”

Only thing I would say on a slight negative review is maybe the hottub could do with a awing so it can be used come rain or shine. Apart from that very clean, perfect location, beautiful yard for dogs. David the owner is awesome and will to help with anything you need. The stags pub is very friendly and allow dogs, The harbour do a good Sunday lunch and also allow dogs and the bell cafe has some beautiful coffee and cake. We fell in love with Cemaes Bay and will definitely be returning. Thank you David for everything

“Smithy Cottage was completely perfect in so many ways.”

1. It's dog friendly. 2. It was a good suze for two people. 3. It was lovely and warm and cosy. 4. The bed was very comfortable with a gorgeous duvet. 5. The cottage was in a very good and clean condition. 6. The cottage was so well equipped with heaters, a fan, a hairdryer, a large fridge freezer and a washing machine as well as many other useful items. 7. A lovely hot tub in a fully enclosed private courtyard. It was so very lovely to receive a birthday card and a bottle of Prosecco, a special touch.

- Sue, September 2022

We are so pleased that you enjoyed Smithy Cottage and found that it had everything you needed during your stay. We have changed the hot tub since the picture were originally taken. Property Owner
Bernadette June 2022

“This is a reallly nice cottage - right on the high street.”

The property was very clean and had everything you need for a great break. We used it as a base and went out during the day and then back to the hot tub in the evening. I would definately recommend it

- Bernadette, June 2022

Thank you for your kind words and we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner
Carole June 2022

“Your holiday accommodation met our needs very well.”

One suggestion: Curtains to pull across enabling the kitchen/lounge to become separate during the night. Obviously no issue if just a couple staying tho a separator curtain would give the bedroom more of a private bedroom feel. Thought more applicable for clients staying with dogs like us. Our

- Carole, June 2022

Thank you for your kind words and we have noted your suggestion. We have a policy of trying to continually update and improve our properties and we will certainly keep this in mind. Property Owner
Pamela June 2022

Fay May 2022

“We spent together a week at the cottage exploring Angelsey and it's lovely beaches, which would be amazing on a nice sunny day but we can't have everything.”

The studio was spotlessly clean and comfortable. We cooked most evenings was really pleasantly surprised at how well equipped the studio was. The kitchen and bathroom are beginning to look a little tired, however don't let that put you off. The hot tub was fabulous, a lovely treat at the end of the day. A nice touch was the owner contacting us on arrival to ensure everything was fine and being on hand if we needed anything.

- Fay, May 2022

Thank you for your very kind feedback which is always much appreciated. We have a policy of updating/modernising and your comments have been noted. Property Owner
Catherine February 2022

“This property is very small!”

However it is well equipped with everything you might need and the owner has been creative with the space available. It is very clean and modern. The bed and sofa are very comfortable and although there were storms raging outdoors we were always warm and cosy. The hot tub is great for relaxing in. Although storm Eunice didn’t stop us getting in it every day, a permanent gazebo fixture around it would truly make it an all weather accessory. The property has a fantastic location with only a few minutes walk to the beach, river walk and coastal paths. The owner was friendly and helpful and available on the phone for any queries. We spent 4 very happy nights here with our dog.

- Catherine, February 2022

We are delighted that (despite Storm Eunice) you enjoyed our lovely cottage and all that it had to offer. We have certainly considered gazebo-style covers but decided against. This is because they tend to flap in the wind and (being and island) we do get winds from time to time. Gazebos also limit stargazing and given how clear our sky's are and the distinct lack of light pollution, we have tended not to install them. Property Owner

Kealey December 2021

“Had a nice break just a couple of bits to be aware of.”

You can hear EVERY bit of noise from the adjoining accommodation, hot tub is on the main road it is private but you do get a lot of road noise, no hot water for the last night and check out morning which ended our break on a slightly bad note. Other than that the accommodation was clean and has everything you need for a break away.

- Kealey, December 2021

Thank you for your comments and we are delighted you found the cottage everything you needed for a break away. It is such a pity that you did not tell us about the hot water issue when it was first detected, i.e. before the morning of your departure so that we had an opportunity to rectify it. Property Owner

Thanks for your kind feedback. Delighted that you, like so many, enjoyed your stay at Smithy Cottage. We have always allowed guests to bring up to 4 dogs and recently had a returning guest with their 4 dogs (French Bulldog/Staffies). The pictures are representative of the available space and it may be that one of our other cottages would have better suited your requirements. Property Owner
Jenn July 2021

“Everything about Smithy Cottage was brilliant.”

I had a fantastic week here and my two elderly dogs felt very much at home. The hot tube was extremely clean, as was the annexe. Everything was clean and I couldn’t want for any kitchen gadgets. It was fully stocked. The accommodation was about 300 metres from the cute harbour and beach. David, the owner was very helpful and friendly. I would thoroughly recommend this property to individuals or couples.

“Enjoyed our stay particularly the hot tub which was fabulous.”

Cottage in a great position for walks and access to the village including two very dog friendly pubs, the Stag and the Harbour. Picturesque Harbour only a short walk. David the owner very helpful, friendly and accommodating even gave us both a card and present when he discovered we were hollidaying on our Birthdays that week. Slight problem with the shower head being loose but would definitely return and loved our week away.

Sarah December 2020

“We had a 3 night break at Smithy Cottage and enjoyed every minute.”

The communication ahead of our arrival was spot on and the cottage had been heated in advance of our arrival, which was much appreciated for a December stay! The facilities were lovely and functional and the hot tub was fantastic. Although a lot of the local area was closed due to restrictions this didn’t impact at all, the local area is so beautiful and the walk down to the beach is quick and scenic. Would definitely return in the future!

“Really enjoyed the Smithy it was cosy, comfy and exceptionally clean.”

It was beautifully furnished, adequately equipped for two and the bed was really comfy. I felt safe inside the locked courtyard and a screen across the overlooking windows made the hot tub area private. Cemaes village is small but has everything you need for an enjoyable weekend with stunning scenery and some beautiful walks. Really relaxing break.

“The place was very well presented.”

And was lively to stay in. Nothing wrong with it at all. And was within walking distance to anything and everything you needed, shops pubs restaurants. The only thing I was a little put off buy was the position of the hot tub. As it was right underneath nextdoors window. So didnt feel very private. But all in all very lovely stay. And wish we had longer there

“The cottage was really cosy , the small heaters are all you need in there and the place warms up so fast !”

. Everything is super modern and more than you’d expect . The fridge and freezer was a little noisy and the odd sound from the next door but really you barely notice them. The place was nice and private for the most part the hot hub maybe could use a bit more privacy but all in all it was lovely with being only a few minutes walk to amazing walks and even better views . Only massive downside to the whole experience wasn’t anything to do with the cottage but the shop in the village ! I advise everyone to bring everything you need to eat and drink as that shop it crazy pricey ! Even so would 100% recommend this lovely little cottage for a nice get-away

“The holiday cottage itself is a boutique style which is nice.”

But the pictures you have are out of date and need updating. I have read the past reviews and certain things need correcting. The cooker hood needed cleaning, the TV in the bedroom didn't work, and the toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall, plus the extractor fan in the bathroom needed a good clean. My husband cleaned the cooker hood and vacced the premises before we left, but would have expected the cottage to have been cleaned to a better standard.

“I have stayed many times in sykes cottages and have never been disappointed , on the listing the property seemed great , but the reality was a different story.”

The property parking is round corner at other rental cottage, the double gates to property are in poor repair,leaving you struggling to get in and out and leaving you unable to park your car at your rental cottage. The walls are paper thin allowing you to here the occupants next door and loud creaking floor boards above sleeping area.the shower dripped, property was extremely hot, due to the fact we could only leave bathroom window open. Privacy is very poor, sit in the jacuzzi and your right next to the pavement , with loads of road noise and people walking passed able to see you. Having double patio doors allows passers-by to see in ,we had the curtains closed the whole time of our stay. Rubbish was left in bin bags on the patio the whole week and finally when you read the listing it implies that there are double doors to the bedroom which there are not. Poor information pack and no visitors book.... I wonder why!!!! Really would not recommend this property.

- Karen, June 2019

We were disappointed by your feedback. Many of the comments raised could have been resolved promptly during your stay had we known about them prior to your stay ending. We have a dedicated team who deal with any mid stay issues. We also satisfy around 150 bookings per year and this cottage is hugely popular. Your feedback is very out of character for us generally. We would have appreciated the chance to rectify these points while you were there but, sadly, you did not provide that opportunity. Property Owner

The cottage was compact, but had everything you needed and a hot tub thrown in for good measure.

Kate March 2019

“The cottage is lovely, perfect for 2 people.”

Just the right size. Hot tub is great, however it is on the patio which is on a main road. There is a fence but it could be a little more private with some hedges/bushes as the gate is lower than the fence and you can see people walk by. The kitchen is well equipped and the place is generally really comfortable. Cemaes Bay is lovely, only wish the weather had been better so we could explore more!

Hi just back from 4 nights in this amazing little cottage contains everything you could ask for although weather was not the best we managed to get out and around the island every day leaving a little time left to make use of the hot tub

“The blinds were damaged lots of links missing we couldn't open one blind at all.”

The noise from the adjoining property was disturbing i.e. Creaking floorboards water running noises and the parking facilities were disappointing as we couldn't park in front of the property we were hiring. The welcome pack was generous and appreciated.

“Lovely little holiday let.”

Perfect for location. David was very helpful and welcoming. Loved the hot tub it was spotless and well kept. Only downfall was the locals who didn't want us there but it didn't spoil it for us. The beach and surroundings are really beautiful. And the coastal walks were amazing. We would highly recommend this lovely smithy cottage.

“FOR : GOOD LOCATION : OWNER FRIENDLY: HOT TUB AVAILABLE.”

AGAINST : HEAR PEOPLE NEXT DOOR : SMELL IN BATHROOM : BAD DESIGN ON FRONT GATES, EASILY LOCKED OUT. OVER PRICED AND DESCRIPTION EXAGGERATED.

Helen May 2018

“A little disappointed on how small Smithy cottage actually was, and the amount of hairs we found on the floor and even in the fridge upon our arrival.”

No welcome pack, like we had read in other reviews either. Hot tub was fab, but this is in the front garden and is not very private. Unfortunately Smithy cottage is an extension on to another cottage which is rented out and the wall is paper thin, every morning we were woken up at 6.30am by the people staying there visiting the bathroom, you can hear everything - taps turning, chain flushing and everything else that happens in the bathroom! Every door that is shut you can hear and the floorboards above also very noisy. For this reason we actually left a day early, so take note that you are attached to another rented property. Cemaes is a quiet village, but lovely if you just want to escape.

- Helen, May 2018
Kim April 2018

“Spent a week here and it was perfect.”

Home from home, and very welcoming. Perfect walking distance of the beach and pubs. Our dog absolutely loved it, plenty of dog friendly pubs within walking distance or a short drive away. Great location for exploring angelsea will definitely be returning. Just what we needed for a relaxing week away !

- Kim, April 2018
Diane February 2018

“Location was good.”

Cottage was ok. Cleanliness: Dirty pair of old trainers found in wardrobe. Dirty sponge by the sink and long dark hair found on floor, not ours! Uncomfortable settee in lounge. Blinds broken didn't close properly.

“Beautifully decorated hi tech looking cottage.”

Not suitable for those 50+ as sofa although comfy too low. Bed much too low. Winter let tings need more that an oil filled radiator to heat the place. Takes too long to get warm. Facilities were good the kitchen had everything you would need. Easy to find and close to village shops, pubs & beach

- June, November 2017
