Sardis Chapel 1

There were mouse droppings in the downstairs toilet room.

One of the bedrooms was flooded and obviously not been checked before we arrived. The accommodation is for 8 people - - Too few dishwasher tablets - 4 for 4 days; - Too few toilet rolls - 1 for each bathroom - Seating area - too few seats for 8 people All these issues had been mentioned in the visitors book but obviously not taken any notice of.

This was a little gem of a find for myself, partner, our 3 older boys and girlfriends.

The purpose was for us to have quality time together. Everything you need is there for you. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, every couple had their own bathroom, a wonderful welcome pack and the added bonus of a hot tub. The pub next door was so friendly and welcoming by the staff and locals. Unfortunately we weren’t able to try the local fish and chips as they had none during our stay. I hate writing anything negative but I am only saying these things as I would like to know if it was my rental. We had 4 rolls of toilet paper for a 3 night stay for 8 (4 of which males), if I’d of known we had to bring our own I would have. Also I feel it was clean but could have cleaner, just little things like stains on sofa, dust under beds and behind tv unit. But it isn’t a big deal it was just that I noticed (sorry!) and I wanted to mop on leaving, but was unable to locate anything to clean the floor. I don’t want to end this review on a negative so I will say we had an absolutely amazing time, and I would most definitely recommend and book again. Thank you so much

The property itself is beautiful, but in need of some TLC Walls are ready for painting Setteeis in need of a deep clean or at least lots of throws on it and not the comfiest Still got location is good to travel around and see everything Log fire is a nice touch Didn't have the Jacuzzi feel the fee is too high Overall, a great stay in a lovely house in a great location The views from the Vellex windows are amazing.

We were two families staying in No.

I Sardis Chapel for a week. We had a lovely stay. Thank you for the really lovely welcome pack, which included bread and milk as well as crisps, red wine, chocolate biscuits and Welsh cakes. All this was a fabulous touch, which was very much appropriate. Unfortunately, there were a few things that were not quite up to scratch for a large, fairly expensive property for eight. I will simply list them for ease: Dishwasher not working properly. It did not clean items thoroughly. All items needed to be hand washed beforehand. Perhaps the filters need cleaning? Fridge is far too small when accommodation sleeps eight people. Tumble drier was not working. It did not power in at all (possibly a main power switch somewhere but certainly not obvious). Info pack refers to “blue folder” of appliance information but the blue folder was missing. Horrible, unsightly stains on sofa. Not enough comfortable seating for eight adults in the lounge and only seven seats in garden. Crockery and cutlery: there is not a full, matching set of eight of anything, although it’s possible to cobble together enough for a meal time. Only one pizza baking tray, so pizza needed to be cooked in many shifts for eight people. Handle is extremely stiff and difficult to use on the door for larger bedroom on 1st floor. Same bedroom also has a loose door handle (hanging off) in en-suite. No toilet brush in family bathroom on 1st floor. A pack of dogs barking and howling near to the property at weird times, which set one of our dogs off. However, these dogs are not associated with this property and they stopped quickly each time. Maybe some holiday kennels nearby? Not all these things negatively impacted our holiday but they are definitely worth addressing for future guests (or if we were to return). All in all a good stay. We enjoyed exploring Anglesey from this great base. Thank you.

The accommodation was to our liking!

It was comfortable, clean and convenient! Request to the owners/ management company: We think we have left behind a few items: 1. 2 Yoga mats 2. A pair of prescription eye glasses (Michael Kors frame) Can you please check if these are at the property? Thanks

We had a lovely time.

Sykes were not easy to deal with as you know. The property is great, the top floor is amazing. Everything was there that we needed and more.

A nice, large property in a good location for walks and scenery.

A well equipped kitchen, along with tea towels etc and an appreciated welcome basket. Good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. We haven't given full marks on cleanliness as there are some area's which could be improved. There were cobwebs in some of the bedrooms and on a couple of velux windows in the lounge, black mold on one of the bathroom ceilings, a long human hair in one of the beds and a large amount of dog hairs on the sofa throws. One of the beds was particularly uncomfortable and needs the mattress to be changed and the blinds on the windows in one of the bedrooms kept falling off! Usually, when towels are provided, there is a bath towel and hand towel per person but this wasn't the case. We were provided with a bath towel each but only one hand towel per bedroom so the same towel had to be shared by the bedroom occupants for drying hands and faces along with hair. Some other points we could make are that the fridge is a little small for a house which accommodates 8 people and that just one TV for this amount of guests can cause issues when there are several generations staying at the house.

Great stay & apologies to the owner that we didn't comment in the visitors book - in the check out deadline confusion we all thought someone else had done it.

However. we intend to return soon & will rectify the oversight. If I could make a couple of observations & hope you don't think I'm being petty;- One of our party was a chef & still enjoys making meals. The kitchen facilities, cutlery, cooking utensils etc were superb but, being February, night arrived early & the ceiling lighting didn't prevent the preparation surfaces being very dark. Maybe next time they decorate they could consider installing some low level spot lights to brighten the areas. It could also be an enhancement feature. The outside light is very poor & could do with upgrading to improve night time lighting to the gate. Of course, both of the above are only applicable to winter/off season bookings. We had to turn a couple of the matrasses over (large downstairs & small upstairs bedrooms) because the springs were uncomfortable. Don't know if it's the quality or if they're past their best? Finally, a thank you to a friend of mine who works for you, Grahame Hindhaugh for pointing me in the right direction & helping with the booking. Regards Dave Rowell

Fab stay, best beaches in Wales on your doorstep.

What a lovely weekend.

Clean and extremely spacious holiday house. Birthday meal in the Oyster Catcher- highly recommended. Will definitely book again. Thank you for Welcome basket.

Lovely house, super beaches and walks nearby.

All enjoyed the hot tub.

We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Great location, cosy lounge and hot tubs were nice.

The best part was all the spare and comfy beds and is very close to lovely activities and land.

We will come each year.

deal and unique space, in great location.

Recommend park run at Newborough forest, surfing at Rhosneigr plus the surf Cafe was fab. Four Crosses pub at Menai bridge, great food - go on Wednesday evening for fun quiz, coastal path at Holyhead.

We have really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage, lots of places to have some lovely walks. Cottage was well equipped, clean with lots of space. We pulled the corner sofas out to make extra space to sit. Downstairs at night was very warm, even after turning the heating down. Would recommend.

South Stack busy, but not to be missed.

This is a lovely location to explore. The beach and forest are beautiful, even in the rain! Easy to get to lots of places in Anglesey. We've had a fab stay.

A good base to see this part of Anglesey, Llandwyn beach and Island, squirrels in the forest.

We Enjoyed the hot tub, cakes from the cafe and fish and chips from over the road. Gardeners would enjoy visiting Plas Cadnant.

The Hot Tub was immaculate and regularly maintained.

Loved the area and the actual home was lovely... BUT - This was not a cheap holiday so I did not expect to find chipped cups, plates and dishes - we purchased more, pans not really clean/old. I expected more than one cheap small toilet roll in each toilet and 1 bin bag. There were only 7 outdoor seats for 8 people - we purchased more. The sofa was really badly stained. The kitchen tap constantly dripped. The bathroom shower did not flow away, it took quite a while. Under beds and sofa were disgusting - odd sock and bits of food as well as dust. Overall this was well below the standard of other holiday homes we have stayed in and needs a good clean. Before the holiday Sykes were horrendous to get in touch with, cost us a fortune on the phone.

Absolutely lovely place to stay.

Only marked down very slightly on cleanliness as it could be a little better, and some of the walls need a lick of paint to get rid of the marks. House itself was superb with bags of room in all the bedrooms, and a great living area upstairs with tremendous views. Wildlife and countryside walks right on your doorstep. Very quiet location but close enough to decent beaches to get there in minutes by car. Highly recommend!

We loved the open plan area upstairs, and all the bedrooms were spacious and was fantastic to have own bathrooms.

as the house sleeps 8 maybe a bigger fridge in the kitchen and an airfare to help with space in the oven when cooking. Garden could do with some tlc, shaded area or umberrella / canopy, plants or ornaments to make it look more appealing to sit in (we had mist so couldn’t see the mountains on the mainland), also would recommend a small fridge downstairs as it’s a fair way up and down those stairs! Luckily we had a camping fridge which we kept filling up! We were also quite alarmed that the hot tub guy arrived well before we checked out, we were upstairs finalising bin runs etc and he didn’t shout up or knock? If we have the place till 10am I would expect it just to be accessible to us Other than that, we loved the pub and locals next door, it was ideal for what we wanted and would recommend to others for future and maybe return ourselves sometime

We loved the accommodation and location.

The house was clean and well kept and had everything we could want (except potato masher but we got round this). The pub next door is fabulous - a real community hub and the walk along the coast to the woodland area is perfect for the dog, a perfect house and location for our family holiday to Anglesey. Perfect place to explore the island, which we love. Some feedback which might be useful but certainly isn’t a complaint. The front door sticks and doesn’t fully open. The dishwasher didn’t seem to work, it left the plates dirty - the pull down bit where the tablet goes is missing so it could be this,

The property was lovely, the area was amazing.

The hot tub was lovely and clean and nice to use,we felt the cottage could have been cleaner, there were dead flies on the windowsill behind the TV, and also cobwebs , there was also a previous occupants dirty socks in the ground floor bedroom so obviously not a thorough clean had been done, the oven was quite dirty and needed a good clean.The property was well equipped but more fridge space for a group of 8 would be better and more glasses for general use as 2 wine glasses and 3 champagne flutes not sufficient for 8 people!! We felt the property would benefit from a few homely touches such as a chair in the bedrooms and a few pictures We would return to the area again as Anglesey was a fabulous place to visit and would go to Sardis Chapel again but would hope the comments are taken on viewed as it was a lovely property with plenty of space for a large mixed group

Lovely stay in Sardis chapel 1 3 generations family and 2 dogs Accommodation is very well thought out with each room having en-suite/private bathroom.

Would have welcomed option if possible to turn 1 bed into twins Lobby area tiled floors all other floors wooden and stairs carpeted, made easy to keep clean ( if brush provided) Lovely large area as enter property to take off boots, hang coats with underfloor heating to dry everything off. Furniture is all good quality and beds very comfortable. Kitchen area has all equipment you would want for self catering holiday. Although seating is very comfortable you would struggle if there were more than 5 people to sit on sofas. Ideally additional comfy chairs are required as sleeps 8 Private parking for number of vehicles. Great position with easy access to walks from property and short drive away to many more beaches /attractions. Would suggest 1 soft broom/hoover to sweep floors especially as enter property 2 more than 1 bin bag 3 bigger supply logs 4 better control of heating especially downstairs in bedrooms- very warm and difficult to turn it down 5 additional comfortable seating in lounge area However these are all minor points and we had great break, we’re very impressed by standard of the property.

We had an excellent holiday in a lovely comfortable cottage, and the dogs barking mentioned in other comments didn’t bother us, even with 3 babies sleeping at different times of the day.

Just a few things that would have been helpful to us:- . A sweeping brush would have been really helpful with all the wooden and tiled floors . Directions on how to recycle would be helpful (we eventually found a recycling point at Aldi) as no recycling collection is available at the cottage, but that is how residents recycle, we couldn’t even find anything on the internet. . The first bedroom on the ground floor needs some kind of furniture to enable bags to be unpacked. There’s a clothes rail in the cupboard but just one high shelf so nowhere really to put clothes or toiletries except the floor.

We had a lovely family break.

The place was very clean and comfy. We had a toddler with us and would ask if child locks and socket covers could be provided as this maybe helpful for future visitor's. Other than that it was a lovely memorable time Thank you

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, excellent facilities, great location, just a couple of minor observations: Agree with other reviewers, seating area would not be great if max capacity in property, the lighting in the living area is bright, however a few lamps may be worth adding so not as harsh of an evening.

The velux windows are fab, but blinds would be a great addition, we were lucky to have great weather and could have done with some shade up there. Fortunately our dogs did not react to the howling dogs, I would imagine this would be a pain if they did! Hot tub lovely, garden very dark, which was great for star gazing, but not when one of your dogs is jet black! Maybe worth mentioning steep stairs as would be a problem if infirm/ elderly/ small children….dogs loved them though

We had a great week.

The beds were comfy and it was lovely that there were 4 bathrooms. The towels were thick and absorbent There was plenty of constant hot water. Parking nearby was free which was appreciated. However, we were disappointed in the sitting in the lounge. No way was there adequate seats for 8 people. It was a struggle for 5 of us to sit and relax in the evenings. Meaning 3 of us had to try snd sit on an uncomfortable dining chair. To us, snd I am sure for most visitors this is an important aspect/activity on any holiday. A minor niggle was the fact there was only 1 tea towel. This wasn’t a huge issue as we simply went and bought some. But it would have been useful if the owner had suggested we bought our own The nearby howling dogs were annoying particularly during the night but we would not penalise the owner for this.

Beautiful property.

Family of 6 adults thoroughly enjoyed our time here apart from the fact the hot tub was locked on our first night which was very disappointing as we had planned to use it.

Absolutely brilliant property.

Felt high spec and well thought through in terms of comfort, facilities, furnishings & decor. Very comfy beds, lovely cotton bedding, and the bathrooms all great with high quality fittings. Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was dreadful, so having a lovely place like this to stay was an absolute bonus.

Great location, high quality appliances and comfortable, clean accommodation.

Our only criticism if the dingy allocation of just one dishwasher tablets - we wanted to enjoy the accommodation and hot tub... not spend our time washing up after 8 people. But clearly pretty perfect if that is all we can moan about.

Our one issue were the number of flies in the property, mainly the top floor (kitchen & lounge areas) Looking at the reviews this has been mentioned a number of times!

Maybe some fly spray would be an advantage as this is not something people pack in their luggage!! Otherwise, no complaints.

The property has been renovated to a high standard and was very comfortably appointed.

It was spotlessly clean, upon arrival, and we immediately felt at home. The beautiful bathroom/shower for every room was particularly well received. It’s location to nearby beauty spots could not be faulted, despite Sardis Chapel 1, and 2, and The Fisherman’s Cottage being basically placed in a pub car park. The pub wasn’t particularly noisy, however it would put us off visiting in the summer months when more clientele would undoubtedly be sitting outside. The “howling dogs” that was referred to in a previous review was accurate. There are at least six large dogs kennelled in the garden of an adjacent neighbours garden. Overall, they remain silent, however, when something disturbs them, the pack mentality returns and the begin to bark and howl in unison. This isn’t often, but a tad irritating. The top floor, which houses the lounge, and dining kitchen is bright, airy and open. The plentiful Velux windows allow some delightful views across the estuary, and loads of natural light, however we felt that they needed blinds to screen the sunshine to afford shade, when dining or attempting to watch the tv in the bright sunshine. The steep stairs between floors are difficult to negotiate if you have mobility issues, or have toddlers, and I think that prospective clients should be notified of there existence. We had a wonderful week in a delightful property, in a part of the island that we haven’t previously concentrated on. Newborough Forest, and beach are outstanding areas of natural beauty and rightly so. Any of the three properties are perfect for the endless birdwatching and photography opportunities on the estuary. Thank you to the owners and Sykes Cottages for their assistance in arranging the last minute changes that made our holiday so memorable.

Absolutely lovely property, very spacious, loved that we all could have our own bathroom.

Hot tub was great. Pity the pub next door didn’t serve meals, as that would have been handy, but had a great time.

Lovely break in a really nice property.

Very spacious and clean. Everyone had a good break and the hot tub was great. Would definitely recommend. Also the welcome pack was very thoughtful too.

We have had really lovely weather and the skies have only turned grey as we leave.

Newspaper fish and chips from the local shop/chippy - the owner was very friendly and helpful. Enjoyed days at Newborough, the beach at Porth Trecastel, Beaumaris, Penmon Point and Holy Island with a walk on the Range and tea at the RSPB centre at south stack. Thank you for providing us with a cafetiere- much appreciated.

Upon arrival the place was pristine and immediately we felt at home.

The welcome pack was plentiful and much appreciated. We would have appreciated blinds on the top floor not for privacy but to block out the sun when watching TV. Thank you so much.

A good base to see this part of Anglesey, Llanddwyn Beach and island, squirrels in the forest.

We enjoyed the hot tub, cakes from the cafe and fish and chips from over the road. Gardeners would enjoy visiting Plas Cadnant.

Really great stay.

Love the house. Did 4 coastal walks around Anglesey. Good little cafe in Rhosneigr 'Notos'.

South Stack busy, but not to be missed.

This is a lovely location to explore. The beach and forest are beautiful, even in the rain! Easy to get to lots of places in Anglesey. We've had a fab stay.

Lovely little getaway.

Auntie Jojo treated us to a relaxing stay in a beautiful, clean house. Exploring close by villages and even pottery painting in Conwy. Hot tub was great.

We have really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely cottage, lots of places to have some lovely walks. Cottage was well equipped, clean with lots of space. We pulled the corner sofas out to make extra space to sit. Downstairs at night was very warm, even after turning the heating down. Would recommend.

Ideal and unique space, in great location.

Recommend park run at Newborough forest, surfing at Rhosneigr plus the surf Cafe was fab. Four Crosses pub at Menai bridge, great food - go on Wednesday evening for fun quiz, coastal path at Holyhead.

We have had a brilliant weekend, here at Sardis Capel.

A good space for a girly weekend, swimming in the sea, walking, and having lovely home cooked meals here.

The best part was all the spare and comfy beds and is very close to lovely activities and land.

We will come each year.

We really enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Great location, cosy lounge and hot tubs were nice.

Lovely house, super beaches and walks nearby.

All enjoyed the hot tub.

What a lovely weekend.

Clean and extremely spacious holiday house. Birthday meal in the Oyster Catcher- highly recommended. Will definitely book again. Thank you for Welcome basket.

Fab stay, best beaches in Wales on your doorstep.

We have loved every minute in your beautiful house.

The area is so peaceful. We will be back.

Fab stay, Drift Matsuri 2024 :)

Clean and tidy.

Well-equipped, lovely walks and friendly pub.

Lovely spacious house and hot tub!

Gorgeous area with stunning walks - where my partner even proposed. Would stay again.

Our yearly adventure - loved the area; pub is fab and winner of bingo!

Fish and chip shop sells everything!! Accommodation was lovely - suggestions - we need a bigger fridge! Definitely not big enough.

We had a lovely stay.

Thanks, enjoyed exploring Anglesey :)

Lovely chilled weekend party of 8.

Fabulous house for us to all get together. Pub was great and very friendly. Missed out on chips as had none till the 30th! Rhosneigr Beach is a must do as it's beautiful. Hot tub was an additional plus.

Yep, just 3 people and all this space!

The place is great, wonderful space and well-appointed. We loved the living area the most. It was nice to have a few essentials left for us but could include salt/pepper. We are at the midland (lovely) and oyster catcher (ace). Thanks!

Lovely spacious property with all you could ask for - we bought salt/pepper :) Newborough beach / forest is amazing.

Had a great trip to Holyhead too. Thank you!

Fantastic home, lots of space, great walls nearby (Newborough).

Warm and cosy. Lots of utensils and facilities!
