    “Beautiful views & peaceful location!”

    Welcomed with a few extra treats, bara brith, welsh cakes tea bags and milk. Which was a kind gesture. Thought it was a little odd there was no basic condiments ie no salt, pepper, sugar .. The dishwasher tablet box was empty under the sink so we were left hand washing dishes. We encountered a few issues when we arrived at Minerva and spoke with Tony as instructed (the property manager). As polite and friendly as he was, (no disrespect intended), he was very vague and didn’t appear to ...

    Welcomed with a few extra treats, bara brith, welsh cakes tea bags and milk. Which was a kind gesture. Thought it was a little odd there was no basic condiments ie no salt, pepper, sugar .. The dishwasher tablet box was empty under the sink so we were left hand washing dishes. We encountered a few issues when we arrived at Minerva and spoke with Tony as instructed (the property manager). As polite and friendly as he was, (no disrespect intended), he was very vague and didn’t appear to know much about the property layout ie where extra bedding / towels were kept. The situation of extra keys. There was no extra camp bed left (we were a party or 13). The extra duvets and pillows discovered in a box within the lounge area had earwigs crawling around the bottom so there was no way we were going to be utilising these! After several calls to Tony, he allowed us access to the garage extension (the cleaner had left the pull out bed in here which is why it couldn’t be intially found). Without the usage of the extension, our guests would not have sufficient beds with clean (bug free!) bedding. The outside decking area was a treat with the stunning views however the spindles and decking boards are looking extremely tired and could do with a refresh of varnish / paint. There was also a “musty” stench in the room of 2 bunk beds. The lounge carpet smelt very “doggy” too and could perhaps do with a shampoo. We had a wonderful stay despite the above.

    Hi Donna, Thanks so much for your detailed feedback. It’s very helpful knowing these things as I can make sure it all gets sorted for the next guests so it’s much appreciated. I’m sorry about the things you’ve listed and the mix up about the bed and the bedding and also glad you had a lovely time there. I’ve been through everything with the cleaning company this morn and they’re sorry too. I’ve also asked for a quote to sort the decking and spindles out. Many thanks again and I hope you enjoy the rest of your sunny Sunday! George x Property Owner

The property

This wonderful detached bungalow rests in an elevated position on a raised rock cliff at the end of a country lane, looking out towards the calming countryside and sea waters.

Within walking distance of sandy beaches at Trearddur Bay, Minerva is perfect for all the family, a magnificent cottage to return to, providing the luxury of four bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The wow factor begins with the gallery dining area, and lower vaulted ceiling sitting room with its cosy woodburner and picture window.

Enjoy the scenery from the sumptuous living area, or the neighboring conservatory, better yet, the decked balcony is your own little haven to look out towards stunning views over Holyhead golf course, Holyhead mountain, farmland and out towards the sea.

You and your loved ones will be kept busy for hours considering the cottage also a smart TV with Netflix, and a Bluetooth sound system, not forgetting a spacious sun room/games room.

The bedrooms are situated on the ground floor, each beautifully presented and consisting of a variety styles including a family bunk bed option, and double beds, equally promising a peaceful night's sleep.

There is also an option to sleep a further three people on a high quality pull out double sofa bed, and an additional transportable adult camp bed, with a travel cot and high chair also available.

Watersports, sailing and windsurfing are the vibrant activities of the summer months, and golfers will appreciate the excellent Holyhead 18 hole links golf course.

It’s a great place for nature lovers with renowned birdwatching at the South Stack Lighthouse RSPB Reserve, whilst lots of rock pools and cliff top walks are just waiting to be explored.

There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities.

A fabulous cottage on the western shore of Holy Island.
