Ynys Faelog Cottage
Description
Ynys Faelog Cottage is a stunning five-bedroom house situated on the tidal island of Ynys Faelog, just outside of the vibrant town of Menai Bridge, Anglesey.
Originally built in the 1700's as two fisherman's cottages. During the reign of Queen Victoria the cottages underwent a change of use into a bathing station. In more recent times a rebuild and refurbishment has been undertaken by the present owner. The property benefits from underfloor heating, a combination of solid wood and slate flooring and is double glazing throughout. The cottage, which sleeps ten guests, provides the ideal location for a family or group trip, offering spectacular views across Menai Strait and is conveniently located to explore both the island of Anglesey and mainland North Wales. On arrival it is necessary to locate the private parking that is situated in Menai, local to the causeway leading to the cottage before unloading your belongings via the pedestrian causeway to the property. Head indoors and start your break in the well-equipped kitchen, which features sleek appliances and dusty blue cabinets to ease your self-catered break. Gather in the living/dining area to share meals together, catch up on your favourite shows on the Smart TV in the library, or just relax with the wood burning stove lit while taking in the gorgeous views of Menai Strait. Find the snug or sunroom for some peace and quiet, where you can delve into a good book before the sun sets over Anglesey. Choose to rest from one of the five tastefully-decorated bedrooms, including two super-king-size, and two triple bunk rooms, all of which are serviced by a bathroom. The final king-size bedroom is found on the ground floor and is serviced by a contemporary shower room. Wake up and take a stroll around an expansive lawn and woodland, outdoor BBQ and seating area and crows nest over looking the Menai Straight with two deck chairs, before heading out to enjoy North Wales attractions. Enjoy your next group break / adventure at Ynys Faelog Cottage.

What guests are saying
What a great cottage!
We loved our stay! We loved the walk to the cottage and the location was amazing for the views. Every window, the was an amazing view. The adult bedrooms were all a good size and plenty of room for us all the spread out. We were they for New Year and it was great to be able to stand in the garden and watch the fireworks. I would definitely stay again. Some extra hooks by the front door and small bins around would be helpful.
We very much enjoyed our stay but.
...... (1) We had no heating or hot water for over 24hrs after arrival. There was no oil to supply the boiler and the immersion heater did not work. It was a further twelve hour or so to warm the property up once oil had been supplied and the boiler started.(2) Some of the lights on the ground floor repeatedly tripped out part of the circuit board. The exterior light on the side facing the Menai Straits seemed to be the culprit. (3) There were at least two lights without bulbs. One in the main sitting room and one in a bedroom. One of the table lamps in the huge bedroom is broken. The shade and bulb socket fall off if gently nudged. (4) The shower tray drained very slowly. On inspection it was clogged with a mass of hair - presumably from previous visitors. We cleaned it ourselves. (5) The state of the decoration in the dining area needs attention. For a 'premium' property it is quite shabby. On the plus side, the support from Menai Holidays, Amiee (in the office) and Andrew (technician), was excellent. They got us sorted as quickly as they could (we arrived on Monday afternoon and by Wednesday morning we were sorted with a warm property). They were very helpful.
Could have done with emergency contact as the hot water did not work properly and the boiler made horrendous noise from time to time Wood burner difficult to keep going
