Halcyon Annexe

On entering the living room the first thing I had do was mend the table lamp.

The shade and builb had come of the base. The bath was a short one. Too short to stretch your legs out in. The kitchen tap was spraying water when on. It needed attention. The microwave took a large amount of the worktop. The mattress was only fit for the rubbish dump. I never slept on the first nighth there with the pain it gave me. I had sleepless nights and pain every night. My holiday was spoilt because of the extreme tiredness I suffered. The password for the Internet was showing spaces when it shouldn't. As the owner lived in Bolton so they couldn't do anything.They need get over and sort this place out. It seems they are only interested in the income the house makes. The first thing they should do is buy a good quality mattress and get rid of that cheap rubbish the bed for the sake of future guests. They tell us to respect their property but appear to have no respect for us.

We had a great week staying in Moelfre.

The annexe was really comfortable and in a great location . It's in an ideal spot for exploring Anglesey either by car or even more so if you enjoy walking the coastal path which was a short walk away. We're looking forward to staying in the main house in September with other family members and planning to book the annexe again next year!!!

Hello all, from the offset on arrival we where very impressed with the layout and the Cleanliness of the Halcyon Annex, as well as the surprise of the welcome pack left for us to make a brew and have a biscuit before sorting our selves out.

we found the property very welcoming and warm, though i must admit I did have to turn the heating down a little. The bed was spotless and extremely comfortable. I spoke with Rita later about a small issue which she and John resolved in Quick time. Other than that the week went all to quickly, should have booked 2 weeks, but business called and had to go home, our little dog, Max loved his corner of the bedroom in his bed, next to the radiator, and the garden. Molfre is one place we have been coming to for years on Anglesey and just love the atmosphere of the area, together with the rest of the Island. We cant recommend the accommodation strongly enough, you would not be disappointed, as the location of Molfre itself is perfect to get about the island with very little trouble. Well done Rita and John, a real pleasure, and in the words of a film star, We Will Be Back!!! Les Sue and Max. xxx

Halcyon annexe is a cosy cottage with everything you need for self catering.

After some initial problems with connecting to the wi-fi, my dog and I enjoyed our stay. The grass needs cutting, but I appreciate that this would have been difficult with all the rain we have had. And I agree with some earlier reviews, that a grab rail in the bathroon would make getting in and out of the bath/shower much easier for those of us who suffer with arthritis. I myself did struggle a little with this. Having said that, it is a great base for exploring the island and based in a charming seaside village.

Only issue was guests from Halcyon walking dogs right outside our door in what I thought was our own garden.

We loved our stay in Halcyon Annexe.

It's a perfect getaway if you want a quiet stay, away from the crowds. Ideally situated for trips around Anglesey, close enough to the sea and amenities, but not in the busiest areas. What a gem! Can't wait to come back again! Rita and John are the perfect hosts. They provided everything we needed and more! The bed was so comfy and snug. The cottage was warm on even the cooler, damp days. It was lovely to sit and watch the birds in the well kept garden, even though we were unable to sit out due to the time of year. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Enjoyed my stay.

Lovely location and the cottage was very clean and well maintained if a little basic.

The property itself was very nice, but there was quite a few small issues, which I have passed on to the owners, they took it on board and were apologetic The base of the bed needs replacing ASAP, very gruby, they are going to order a new one Lovely back garden except for the weeds as garden recovering from surgery.

Great location. Otherwise an enjoyable stay

Halcyon Annexe is a perfect base for superb coastal walks and enjoying charming Moelfre.

Fully equipped for self catering and with the benefit of a private sunny garden.

This is a lovely cottage well situated in the village.

The bed is very comfortable. The shower is challenging to say the least - there is plenty hot water but the shower housing doesn't hold the showere head in place. The other issue we had was the fridge wasn't as cold as we expected. The freezer seemed to work well. Despite these small issues we had an enjoyable week. Many thanks for the biscuits.

This is a basic holiday let-{DOWN] .

Rita the owner is lovely to speak to and we were looking forward to our holiday. On arrival, we were very disappointed to see the state of the garden, all overgrown with weeds & long grass between 2-3ft high around the borders and the grass looked as though it hadn't been cut in the last 2 months. The garden was not secure for smaller type dogs ,ok if you have a large dog. 2 dogs from the main house found their way many times into our garden, we daren't let our dogs into the garden without being on a lead ,because they could find their way onto another neighbours drive onto the busy road.We can supply a photograph if needed. The kitchen ,adequate, as was the bedroom ,lovely white linen and towels. The bathroom had black mould in the grout and sealant round the bath, some sealant was missing.The lounge was sparse and uncomfortable ,the 2 seater settee was hard to sit on, their was nothing about this room to make it look inviting, maybe a coffee table and a rug would improve it slightly.There is a damp problem in a few areas and the skirting board has rooted in places.No wi-fi.An unloved property.

Lovely comfy and clean property.

Peaceful and enjoyable week. After reading some of the previous reviews, was a little dubious, but this is a lovely property. And would 100% stay again.

This is the second time I have stayed at Halcyon Annexe, and I'm sure I will be staying again.

The secure garden is ideal for my dog, there is plenty of parking space for the annexe, and the property is only a few minutes walk from the sea front, the local shop, Y Siop, a lovely cafe called Ann's Pantry, and a fish and chip shop. And top marks for the soft and fluffy bathroom towels.

Halcyan Annex was a great place to stay.

. had every thing we needed to make our stay comfortable.. Moelfre is an absolute beautiful place to stay.. 5 mins walk from the sea. Great coastal walks. Close to great places to visit.. we couldn't ask for a better place to stay will definitely be back next year..

Lovely, comfortable little property with a lovely peaceful garden that is very secure for our dog.

Very well equipped kitchen. Thanks Rita and John

A great little retreat for two plus a dog, who loved the garden.

However, fences need repair to reduce the risk of escape. A little lick of paint and maintenance of the wc could also improve a wonderful holiday home. Thanks very much for letting us stay. Anne, Mal and Red

Power supply issues were dealt with as soon as we contacted the owners and Scottish power soon had supply back on.

The owners were also very accommodating with a request we had and so had a lovely family Xmas. Lovely supply of hot water . Cosy living room with decent size TV. Wi fi very slow when guests in other property next door. One grumble, the cleaning company are extremely cobweb friendly!!. Nice big enclosed garden. If we want to stay on Anglesey again then we will certainly see if this is available.

Lovely cosy place to stay in the outskirts of a nice quiet village.

The facilities are good and was nice and clean up on arrival. Has a lovely garden at the back , the only problem is the white fence is a bit high and our little dog found his way out into the other garden . This won't put us off though and would be very happy to return to the annexe when we go back to Anglesey.

The annexe was ideal for us and our dog, being spacious with a secure garden.

The annexe contained everything you would expect for a self catering holiday. The only improvements I would make is a smart TV, an exterior light along the path by the garage and add a cover to the water tank control in the bedroom as it had a really bright backlight. Would happily stay in the property again as it's well placed for local amenities and for touring the island.

Great location, lovely little annex with everything you needed

This was our second visit to the cottage which is well located for the coastal walking we enjoy.

The annex was very warm and comfortable. The only 'niggle' we had was that the kitchen equipment appears very well used and needs updating. Cups and plates were mis-matched and mugs stained. Suggest slimlining equipment to free up space for those who wish to bring their own food supplies. We threw out some jars/bottles (out of date) to make space for our own provisions. Appreciated welcoming biscuits and tea/coffee. Overall, an enjoyable stay and look forward to returning.

Bit concerned at 1st when I read reviews from previous guests but they must have been very choosey nothing wrong at all will definitely be back.

Very quiet and peaceful spot.

Beautiful garden to sit out in and listen to the birds. Kitchen a little cramped but we managed fine. Short walk down to the village centre with pub, cafe and fish and chip shop.

Comfortable little annexe in a great location.

Love the garden area. Well equipped kitchen and good sized towels to use. Found the shower quite tricky to use especially to wash my hair as it is in the far corner and the water runs onto the bathside and the shower head doesn't stay in place! Lashings of hot water though.

Perfect for our needs, no steps to contend with and good parking on solid ground with plenty of room to exit the car.

Clean accommodation with everything we needed at hand. Nice touches left for us on arrival, like biscuits and milk in the fridge.

Health and safety hazards.

(1) Microwave was situated above head height on top of the fridge freezer - I was afraid to try and use. I mentioned this to the owner and his comment was it was a little tight on space in the kitchen. (2) By the time you open a section of the drop leaf table and open two of the folding chairs housed underneath the table you end up sitting next the rubbish bin and the mop, bucket and sweeping broom which did not seem too healthy to be next to when eating your food (3) It was quite an ordeal to have a shower. The sides of the bath were high and there were no grab rails to hold on to when getting in and out of the bath for a shower. I made do with a wash every other day rather than face the ordeal of getting in and out of the bath steadying on the taps! (4) Half of the wardrobe housed the vacuum cleaner. I won't be going to this property again.

Very welcoming property with everything we needed.

Lots of hot water, plenty of towels and kitchen utensils. Suggest a grab rail over the bath and spare pillows. Lovely garden with patio set for outdoor dining! Great television with dvd and dvds!

This break was like stopping at my nans house for a long weekend.

Which as you can imagine is nice. It did take us a while to find the property at the back of the main house as the sat nav kept us further day. Any first impression was OK, says what it is k. The tin basically. However if like a lot of property owners they have a management company that sort the cleaning etc for them they really do need to speak them. It is such a shame as it could be a lovely little gem. And before I go any further, no I did not contact the owner or Sykes I sorted some issues out myself so that we could crack on with the break. Firstly, cleaning spray and a face cloth wet left on the bedroom cupboard (no major problem), the kitchen bin was full to the top, as it happens we have a camper so I had some bin bags with me. There is a lovely welcoming gesture of tea coffee and chocolate biscuits. But I had to first scrub the spoons as they were very tarnished. The bedroom had soft clean linen on, but a shame there are large cobwebs on the walls and over the wardrobe, and when I looked it is thick with dust on top. Moving to the bathroom, again a lovely warm atmosphere, but spoilt by cobwebs, black grout and rusty towel rail over the bath,(this seriously wants removing) a good size towels just a little tired. Plenty of hot water. Areas of the property have had lovely thick carpet fitted and a vacuum is supplied which is good. But the skirting is thick with dust and dirty, the living room radiator as had something splashed up it and on the skirting below but has not been cleaned.It was lovely to see an assortment of birds visiting the garden and a lovely seating area for when the weather allows. It might be a benefit if some kind of lightening could be fit up the side of the property as this was very dark when returning at night. When leaving instructions ask you to strip the bed place items in a black bag and the n in an IKEA bag and the same for towels keeping them separate, unfortunately all that was left for us was 1 ikea bag. I have to say I is such a shame that we would not return to this property because the cleaning is not what we would expect because it is a cracking little property in a brilliant location.

Needs a new sink plug in bathroom, no privacy from guests in main house needs, new double mattress as present one has old metal springs,other than that we had a nice holiday.

Second stay for us in this holiday cottage, great location, cottage has everything you could need for a comfortable stay.

Loving the new flooring and carpets and the garden is looking great, those little additions will make make all the difference when sitting outside on a summers evening. Rita and John very friendly and always available if you need anything.

Lovely little cottage near beach, kitchen full equipment, very clean, little cute garden with led lights , I have enjoyed xxx thanks Rita she is very friendly ☺️

Perfect property and location.

Lashings off hot water after days walking Warm and cosy. Equipped well for cooking.

Halcyon Annexe is in a quiet area of Moelfre but within 10 minutes walk of the village.

The village shop was not very well stocked but that could be because it is out of season.The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed.

Excellent location with off road parking.

Comfortable with utilities to meet needs

Property needed some maintenance and we had a problem with the leaking toilet which was rectified very quickly by the owners.

Garden needed attention. It was in a good position to everything. Property did not come up to are standard of cleanliness unfortunately.

Just one small issue, the plug in the wash basin is too large, it does not allow water to remain long enough in basin.

A small but lovely cottage in a wonderful area comfortable well equipped and clean

Lovely place but tv needs a proper aerial and wifi very intermittent.

Halcyon annexe is a great little holiday place the facilities the garden and everything about it makes you relaxed and Rita & John could not be more helpful.

Thank you both so much for a great week and there will be more to come Gav & Lorraine rating for us 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Overall a very nice little place which was great value for us.

Everything worked really well and it was easy to get into. Nice location to drive to and from, very close to a fantastic fish and chip shop and a few small, rocky beaches. The only gripes is with some small maintenance and parking space issues that need sorting. The toilet leaks a little from the back pipe, which is seeping under one of the tiles. The annexe also backs onto a garage, of which the door blows open as the latch has broken, the same with an electrical box on the house (Halcyon) it backs onto, which is also a holiday home for rent as far as I can tell. Regarding Halcyon itself, it was rented to a large group of workmen at the same time as our stay. The parking space out front was completely filled with vans and their cars, which meant that at times we were completely blocked in. Thankfully they were gracious enough to move if needed, however this could pose a problem to someone else in the same circumstances.

Had a lovely week and the annexe was lovely.

We had an issue with not being able to use the freezer as it was solid ice thus unable to open the drawers or shut the freezer door. It also made the running of the appliance ineffective and the outer sides were red hot. We spent 2 hours defrosting it and get it running normally. The garden also needs a bit of a tidy as we had to wade through tall grass and weeds to get to the garden furniture. Loved the location and would return.

Property as described, well equipped and comfortable, had to request more towels as only provided with 2 bath sheets and 1 hand towel between 2 people, owners were prompt to respond to our request.

Parking became very tight on Monday evening when 4 transit vans and a trailer arrived because the main house had been let to a bunch of working lads, they were quiet well behaved except the use of language on one night as they went out. Just be aware this could happen to others.

Once we had moved the dining table from the kitchen to the living room the cottage was comfortable.

There is insufficient space to sit comfortably at the table in the kitchen. On arrival we were greeted with an overpowering odour of disinfectant that made the cottage smell like a medical facility. With windows open this took a day or so to disperse. We did not come to terms with controlling the electric radiators. Full guidance on these should be supplied. The bedroom radiator was set to 24C -far too hot - so we switched it off at the mains for the duration of our stay. The kitchen and bathroom rads seemed to switched on 24 hours a day whilst the living room rad gave no heat at all. The bathroom basin plug was the wrong size so the basin did not hold water for long. Cleanliness of some of the crockery could have been better. I do not like to remove the previous user's coffee grounds from the cafetiere! Neighbouring properties had separate containers for rubbish/recycling. Why does Halcyon Annexe not follow suit? Despite this list of shortcomings (which I hope will be addressed) we did have an enjoyable stay so do not let my criticisms put you off staying here!

Fabulous property for a couple wanting an escape.

.. lovely private outdoor space, everything you need to be comfortable & relaxed.

Hubby and I only stayed for 3 nights and we stay in accommodation all over the UK.

We never leave negative feedback but must say on this occassion we felt we had to Photo of outside of property is not realistic, you are at the back with no real surroundings Impossible to put folding table up to eat in kitchen as photo made the room look a lot bigger so had to eat on our laps in the living room which was not ideal due to the uncomfortable 2 seater and chair. Living room felt neglected and very sparse..had no character. Walk way to bathroom very narrow..not mentioned in the spec. Bed comfortable but again room dark with the extremly darkbrown hard underfoot carpet. This Annex needs a bit of love put into it to make the stay more comfortable

The place was nice, It could have been cleaner in the draws !

as it had bits in there from before we arrived. The chairs are comfy enough but could do with bigger ones to lounge in more. The bed is comfy and keeps you very warm at bed time. We would come again

Brilliant location, the place was perfect for the two of us,really lovely couple that owned it, couldn't do enough for us, we would definately go there again.

Good communication with owner, and well situated for walking into Moelfre, bungalow close to the chippy and a pub in village, a little garden to sit in and would use bungalow again handy for walking the Anglesey coast and visiting the lifeboats centre

Enjoyable holiday.

Halcyon Annexe would benefit from a sink plug that fits and a steady toilet seat. Only minor but important.

The Annexe was exactly as described and well situated in a delightful village with some gorgeous coastal walks and very handy for a shop, a pub and fish and chip shop.

We found no issues to report back on. Thanks for the lovely week.

The owners were on site for a day or two.

Very helpful. Property was neat and cosy, kitchen/dining area a little squashy, lounge, bedroom,bathroom fine and relaxing/eating outside in garden a pleasure(weather permitting ). 5 minute walk to harbour/shingle beach.

Lovely, well located property.

Clean and tidy. Lots of space for 2 people. Good facilities. Only little niggle was the shower. Pressure low (which was understandable for an annex), but shower head needs to be replaced to allow water to flow - low cost job that could make a lot of difference. Many thanks

We had a lovely time at Halcyon Annexe, the location is perfect and the accommodation was pleasant.

All facilities we could’ve wanted, had no issues with cleanliness or WiFi as mentioned in some other reviews on here. All in all a perfect weekend was had and the hosts couldn’t have been more helpful. Highly recommend staying at Halcyon if you are wanting to explore Anglesey!

The Annexe is tucked behind the larger house and is private and quiet.

The bathroom lets the property down but is okay for a week. Loved the location and enjoyed sitting out in the garden after a long day.

Lovely warm, clean & comfortable holiday let.

Off road parking great. Milk & Welsh cakes much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you. Holiday let is a good location for exploring Anglesey by foot or car. Would recommend this holiday let.

Very cosy and warm, location perfect for coastal walks, owner RITA very friendly on the phone,we enjoy our stay very much.

Wow !

!! This little cottage is gorgeous we have no complaints at all, the owners were lovely and very helpful. The cottage was clean and had all the facilities we needed. Myself and my partner can't understand the other reviews they make no sense at all. 1) the cottage was not damp it was very clean no damp on the walls or ceilings in any of the rooms 2) the TV had a great signal if turned the correct way and the dvd player worked fine no problems there, 3) the furniture was comfortable and clean the wardrobe worked perfectly fine and was not on its last legs like another review suggests infact we felt the wardrobe was very good quality and was strong and sturdy 4) tiles on the fire place were fine not falling apart or broken again like another review advises yes they do move if you touch them but what's the need to touch them really? 5) Bathroom very clean towels and hand towels were provided the toilet worked fine everything clean with 1 flush 6) heating there was a heater in every room which kept us lovely and warm highest temperature on the heater was 30 which is more then fine 7) washing machine worked perfectly 8) cleaning equipment was provided so we could maintain the cleanliness 9) the owners left us a breakfast tray with Welsh cakes teas and biscuits which we thought was lovely as they don't have to do that we felt it was a nice personal touch 10) the owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome they were there when we needed them (we only needed to call for directions) There is so much more I could say this stay at the halcyon annexe was just so lovely relaxing I would highly recommend staying there the location is perfect close by to shops and restaurants The Kinmel Arms is a must go to place the food there is delicious and again the owners were so welcoming, we would love to come again maybe next year and we would definitly stay at the Halcyon Annexe again

The cottage was ok but unlike our last stay gwynus which was like a home this had the basics only a clock with flat battery in it,I changed a light bulb from bedroom lamp to put in log effect on electric fire, put the the toilet seat on properly, could not fix the basin in the bathroom there were three plugs but the fitting was loose on basin and water was leaking under pedastal,half way through our stay recycle bins disappeared but I usually take glass and tins,and paper to benlech library recycle bank but could not take plastic so left in a seperate bag in the yard I can assume that would get thrown away Good points warm most things you need no TVs in bedroom but no aerial points anyway but living room tv worked ok on portable aerial

Lovely annexe, ideal for a couple to use as a base.

Clean, comfortable and everything provided that you could possibly need. Home from home. My partner and I had a wonderful two weeks here and would highly recommend. The owners are lovely and rang us to make sure all was ok.

The property was not up to Sykes usual standard.

There were a number of issues which hopefully have now been resolved.

Difficult to find as name on wall was behind bins.

WiFi was a must for us but did not work. TV signal poor. Chairs very uncomfortable. Arrival pack had lots of past complaints most had not been addressed by owner. Not very well cleaned, you would expect a more thorough clean during a pandemic. Bedroom had damp on the wall. The only good thing was it's location. Very disappointed and would not recommend this place.

The annexe was consistently damp, you couldn't put clothes in the wardrobe as it was dirty and definitely on its last legs.

Every morning clothes would be damp and need washing. Annexe is of poor standard, shelf in the living room is ready to fall off, the fire place isn't fixed to the wall and is sat on three loose tiles on the floor. The wifi didnt work for the vast majority of the time we where there. Spiders and cobwebs in most corners of the house. In all, extremely poor value for money. Looking at other reviews in the out of date guest book, we are not the only ones with these views.

As previously mentioned by others.

... Tv signal intermittent..Wi-Fi once on first day .. DVD player does not work ... Fireplace all loose ..bathroom dirty .. Wardrobe falling apart ... A very basic poorly equipped property Good point !.... Village location

Over priced for basic facilities.

the original feed for the property showed close to a pebble beach,not someone’s back garden.very limited crockery,shelf under the mirror hanging off wall,no convenient plug for wife to blow dry her hair ,furniture dated .and funcomfortable .wash hand basin wouldn’t hold water and toilet needs to be flushed 3 or 4 times to clear,all in all,accommodation poor,would we recommend,unlikely we decided to leave a day early as we were so disappointed,not worth a 600 mile round trip

We use Sykes regularly and did not feel this property was up to your usual standards.

It was tired, damp and there were cobwebs in all the rooms. The main house was obviously being renovated and the outside of both properties front and back was scruffy. The property has the potential to be brought bang up to date with a little TLC. All that said, its proximity to facilities in the village was great and Moelfre is beautiful.

Bed very hard and bedroom could do with more shelves in the wardrobe for storage.

Bathroom sink plug doesn't fit leading to all the water draining out before you have finished washing. There were two new plugs but one was the same size and the other was far too big. Bath could have done with a shower/ non-slip bath mat. A feedback/ recommendation book for visitors would have been useful as well. A nice cottage with plenty of parking space. Close to local facilities and village centre. Good base for local walks. All attractions on the island were within reasonable travelling distance. Would highly recommend the harbourside ice cream shop !!!!! Covid 19 rules very well followed and had no problems with this. If we hadn't exhausted the island, we would happily rebook this venue.

Clean and tidy but let down by poor bedding.

Pillows so old and flat.No Mattress topper which would have covered all the pilled lumps. We were not informed by you that the WiFi was out of commission which John said you should have told us about. We were also not informed that the whole area was a building site so peace and quiet and privacy were lost as workmen working on both houses.
