    “I have stayed at this property many times since 2013 This is the first time I have stayed with Sykes as the management company and I wasn’t impressed at all There was rubbish in the master bedroom, in the lounge and also the downstairs bedroom never has this happened in the past!”

    The bins used to be collected by the second cattle grid so how is it that the bin is now outside the gate and it wasn’t clean at all!??? There were dirty dishes sat in the dishwasher and dirty cups & glasses in the cupboards and the grill pan had food stuck on it also there wasn’t any pan scrub supplied so I had to put the dishwasher on before using anything at all disgusting especially as I am immunocompromised not what I have paid £600 for in November. I don’t expect to have to clean ...

    The bins used to be collected by the second cattle grid so how is it that the bin is now outside the gate and it wasn’t clean at all!??? There were dirty dishes sat in the dishwasher and dirty cups & glasses in the cupboards and the grill pan had food stuck on it also there wasn’t any pan scrub supplied so I had to put the dishwasher on before using anything at all disgusting especially as I am immunocompromised not what I have paid £600 for in November. I don’t expect to have to clean somewhere I have paid to rent for a week! The downstairs shower room was dirty too there was a daddy long legs corpse & spiders web (so been there some time) blowing in the huge draft from the window. The window actually looked as though it’s about to fall out making this room far too cold and unusable. I had to keep the door closed so the draught didn’t permeate through the rest of the property. I have rheumatoid arthritis so being cold actually hurts. There was no welcome give upon arrival which there always has been in the past this was the 10th time I’ve stayed at this property. In the downstairs shower room there was enough toilet paper to use once and less than 1/8 of a roll So not only did I have to put the dishwasher on, empty the bins I then had to go out to the shop for toilet roll & a pan scrub/sponge to clean the worktops The rest of the property was the same as always apart from the log burner being gone and replaced by a huge tv. Also had a problem with sheep appearing in the back garden which was amusing at first but meant that I had to check for sheep before letting the dogs out somewhat complicating matters, the owners were notified and were supposed to be attending to the broken fencing just above the wall. My dogs are all herding breeds one of whom tried to follow the sheep she’s a Romanian herding dog so she felt it’s ok for her to follow them, however it isn’t and farmers are well within their rights to shoot a dog that may or may not be a threat to their livestock. Bearing all this in mind it saddens me to say that I’m not sure I will be back to this property following this poor experience

    I am sorry to hear that you experienced cleanliness issues and will speak to our cleaners about that. For a returning guest I am disappointed that it was the case on this occasion. They usually leave extra toilet roll also. I was not aware of any issue with the bathroom window so it will be investigated. We have for some years now provided a dedicated waste collection service rather than using the council bin at the cattle grid 1 mile away. I would have thought that having a facility on site is better than having to take bags of rubbish by car to the cattle grid. It was regrettably quite common for guests to leave bags of rubbish about which our cleaners then had to deal with The "log burner" was an old gas fire which reached the end of its life, was rarely used, and was not replaced because the Cottage is centrally heated anyway. The new TV is sited there so that it is viewable from more of the seating in the room which seemed to make sense. The Cottage is deep in the countryside and we do very occasionally have stray sheep and even cattle in the road and consequently sometimes also in the gardens. We cannot be responsible for that but the sheep owner was notified by us as soon as we were made aware. Property Owner

The property

Bodlasan Groes Cottage, a historic, white-washed home, is perched in a serene setting with a view of North West Anglesey's picturesque shoreline.

Bodlasan Groes Cottage is the ideal home base for a family or group of friends wishing to explore the wonders of Anglesey and North Wales.

It is perfectly positioned with all-around panoramic views to give the finest of both the coast and the countryside.

The patio, which is a lovely place to enjoy the fresh sea breeze as you unwind with your favourite drink in the evening or indulge in a steaming cup of coffee with a panoramic view of the stunning coastline in the morning, can be found after parking up in one of the property's two off-road parking spaces.

After a busy day exploring your surroundings, kick off your shoes as you enter the house and relax in the traditionally decorated sitting room in front of the television while the designated chef whips up a feast in the adjacent kitchen using all the conveniences, including a handy dishwasher so there's no arguing over who's doing the dishes!

Spend some much-needed quality time with your loved ones at the dining table in the centre of the conservatory as you indulge and take advantage of the abundant natural light.

You have a choice of three exquisitely decorated bedrooms to choose from when sleep is necessary: an inviting twin, a ground-floor double that is perfect for guests with limited mobility, and a lovely king-size four-poster bed.

All of these rooms preserve the cottage's traditional charm and offer a warm place to rest your eyes.

If you prefer, you may start your day in style with a leisurely soak in the tub as you lose yourself in the pages of an engrossing book.

In the morning, get ready for a new day with an energising rinse in the walk-in shower.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref: 1062513, together sleeping up to 16 guests.

Converted from three cottages, the largest property, Bodlasan Groes House, is made up of two, bridged together by a conservatory, whilst Bodlasan Groes Cottage can be booked separately, or grouped together to make a large holiday home through the use of an interconnecting door; collectively sleeping up to 16 guests. Each dwelling offers a traditional and homely interior, retaining charming rustic characteristics, and offering far-reaching views across Holyhead Bay in the near-distance. A well-maintained lawned garden is shared between the cottages at the rear, providing the perfect sociable space to hold a group celebration, with a private garden resting at the front-offering a solace escape from the excitement. The shores of Traeth Gribyn can be easily reached from your doorstep via a private track, where the secluded beach offers a beautiful expanse of sand at low tide, enticing you to indulge in an invigorating dip in the tranquil waters of the bay, or bask in the sun as you enjoy a spot of rock pooling. From here you can join the Anglesey Coastal path and explore the dramatic landscape on foot, boasting panoramic sea views as you traverse through coastal heath, hidden coves and marvellous beaches towards the dramatic cliffs towering near the quaint settlement of Church Bay. Cross the Stanley Embankment where history buffs will be delighted by the plethora of historical attractions worth visiting, including T? Mawr Standing Stone, South Stack Lighthouse, dating back to 1809, and the medieval remains of iron-aged hut circles.
