Sandy Bank

The cottage has beautiful seaviews over the dunes, which can be seen from the large front room and the lovely light main bedroom with its useful seating area at the big bay window.

As it is a long narrow house the other bedrooms and the kitchen don't have such a pleasant outlook at all. The showers were very powerful, and the downstairs one very useful for washing off sand. The large kitchen was well equipped, but there was no cupboard or space to put the groceries etc., apart from the fridge. There was also a musty damp smell in there -possibly damp wood round the sink? The kitchen work surface was also very sticky to touch, maybe the varnish on it melting in the heatwave we had that week. There is no blind in one of the kitchen windows which could be a problem when the next door house gets renovated and lived in as at the moment it's empty so we didn't feel overlooked. It does have a very small front garden looking over the dunes and RAF planes, and it would have been useful to have a bench situated there to enjoy the peaceful evenings and sunsets.

The location of the property for people who love the beach and the sea could not be better.

It is just a short walk over the dunes for those able to manage the path, and the sunsets and sunrises were stunning. There have been some changes since the original Sykes photos, including additional eclectic artwork. The property is a little tired inside and would benefit from some maintenance. The extractor fan mentioned in a previous review was still not working. Some of the windows did not lock securely, and the child’s bedroom window could be fully opened. The parking space was often in use, and our car was too large to park behind the garage. The last slate on the back steps was quite sharp and needs attention. These issues did not spoil our holiday, but they are worth noting.

What a lovely place in an excellent location couldn’t ask for anything better to be honest.

Lovely comfy lounge to look out on to the sand dunes and bedroomm on 1st floor wow. Only one issue extractor fan wasn’t working in the kitchen. It was reported but no one could come out and fix it. It was annoying when cooking. Other than that great place

Sandy Bank is in a lovely position with great views .

The property is well equipped.The showers are excellent.The beach is not far away .We enjoyed our stay here for the second time.

We had a lovely week at Sandy bank.

We have family who live on the island so we have a week every year in the summer to catch up. We chose sandy bank this year to stay at. Location is perfect and the house felt very homely. There were some negatives ….when we first arrived the house had a strong unpleasant smell hard to describe. The house was not clean in places and I found a beer can behind the bath that had clearly been there for a while. On the sink a pot had old olive pits that had not been put in the bin by previous holiday makers or discarded by cleaners. The beanbag in the lounge was wet and had a strong smell to it so we had to put this outside to air and dry. There was also a big stain on the carpet in the lounge which we cleaned as we were Conscious this could have been contributing to the smell. Previous tenants have not recycled properly and we found pizza boxes in the black bin. Ending on a positive we found the property comfortable with lots of space. Especially liked the wet room for easy showering after the beach!

Another perfect stay at Sandy Bank, great communication from the owner and a bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely surprise, thank you.

The most perfect views, straight onto the dunes. The house is really homely, big squishy sofas and throws made for relaxing evenings watching the sunset from the front windows. Also great quality towels and linens, we all slept well as the beds are really comfortable. Kitchen had everything you could need and the downstairs shower room was ideal for washing off after a day at the beach. Endless hot water for a family of 7 including teenagers was a dream, Absolutely perfect.

We stayed at sandy bank.

The house was a lovely place to stay and would highly recommend . We stayed from 6th June for a week . The view was brilliant and saw lots of planes flying over . Thank you for making our holiday .

We have really enjoyed our stay at sandy bank.

The house is charming and comfortable and the location and views are stunning. We have stayed in Rhosnygr previously and really like the area but this was by far the best location we have stayed . We are a family of 3 adult women and a dog; with 2 of our partners just joining us for the weekend, so we had ample space, we didn’t need to use the attic bedroom which you have to access via the master bedroom ( I think this would only be good if you had your own children staying - due to the access). The only outdoor space is a small open front garden overlooking the sand dunes and the sea. We took our own fold up chairs and sat at The front in the late afternoon and it was stunning. Very quiet and hardly anyone walking past, just a few dog walkers. We walked down to the beach every day with the dog and took picnics and our fold up chairs and visited some other beaches on Anglesey . We had amazing weather all week which made it even more special. Sandy Bank is very well stock with everything you need for a family break. The only suggestion would be to have mirrors in each bedroom, as there is only mirrors in master bedroom.

Location, location, location.

Step outside the front door and you are immediately on the sand dunes leading to the beach. The property was very clean and well appointed with all the equipment needed. The settees were very comfy as were the beds and the property is handy for the centre of Rhosneigr. We would come agai

It's a fantastic place,our second time booking it and we would recommend it to anybody.

Its very comfortable,I personally love the decor and the utility room is a godsend with having the dog but the main reason we book is the view and the proximity to the beach. Altogether an outstanding house.

we loved staying in Sandy Bank .

The view is outstanding and we had everything we needed .The parking was fine for one car but there wasn't much space if we had taken a second car.

Sandy Bank is a lovely quirky house on the edge on the dunes.

First up, following other reviews, you do not need to go over the dunes to get to the beach…walk to the right at the front, and you’ll eventually find the river, head left and you’ll join the beach (you can also get on to this path at the side of the golf club or go the road way and down near the surf shop) - the dunes are fun if you can manage them. It’s in a great position and a 10 minute walk from the busier centre. A map with walks marked might benefit those who aren’t familiar with the area. The spacious house is filled with art and really quirky. The view from the living room and main bedroom is great for watching sunsets and the planes at Valley. Smart TV was great for evening films. For those needing to work there’s good wifi and a desk area which looks out to the fab view - the whole creative ambience made me want to sit and write a book! Comfy bed, had great sleep and enjoyed morning coffees laid watching the amazing view and sea rolling in. Practical note the twin room is off the main bedroom up another flight of stairs. The downstairs wet room was great (our preferred shower), and laundry room with ceiling airer was really useful. Sandy Bank is a quirky fun homely place, we’d definitely return.

Let me say that this property is in a beautiful location however is busy with beach goers and does not feel private which only bothered us slightly with the continuous comings and goings.

The house had everything we needed and I must say the downstairs shower was amazing. We loved taking walks to the beach but it's not easy if you go over the dunes, my legs are still recovering lol. The house was very warm even at night we didn't feel cold which was a plus. The owner was easy to contact and we enjoyed our stay at Sandy bank however the house does need some updating and a bit of an extra clean as there were some questionable marks on walls and things and the plug socket for microwave did not work so we had to move things to another socket, though this did not spoil anything.if you love seeing the jets take off from the airbase this is perfect. We will definitely stay again in the future. Overall a enjoyable week.

A lovely place so close to the beach.

Had all the amenities you would need. The home owners were really attentive. A great place

This was a great disappointment.

The view was great but could have been improved by cutting the grass. However, this is about all we could say that is good about this cottage. I should like to send you some photos that demonstrate the parlous state of this property. There is severe damp in several places, with paint peeling off, and the smell of damp in the kitchen cupboards is very obvious. An attempt to cover up the tear in the flooring in the front room had been made by putting a beanbag over it. This flooring, which also covered the landing and stairs, was very harsh on the feet when going to the bathroom in the night. The steps leading to the side passage are far too steep, it was very difficult with two hip replacements to go up and down them. We were unable to decipher which of the three sets of instructions regarding recycling was relevant. In any event, there was no way either of us could carry big boxes up those steps. In order to assure you that all of this is an accurate reflection of our experience, please provide me with a means of sending you the photos of the damp and the dirty state of much of the property.

Very nice house right on beach.

Kitchen and bathrooms were excellent. Dog friendly too. Easy walk to the pub and shops. My family and I had a wonderful relaxing week.

We loved our stay at Sandy Bank.

So warm and comfortable, very roomy and clean. We loved watching the airplanes take off and land it was such a pleasure. The view of the beach was breath taking , again great watching the surfers from the comfort of the house. The drying room was a must to get wet coats and dog dried. The downstairs shower and toilet was a plus. We will be back later in the year. Spoiled us for staying anywhere else in Rhosneigr. Thank you

Spent a long weekend with good friends at Sandy Banks.

Found the whole experience excellent. The accommodation is great and geared to those with outdoor plans and if you have dogs. Downstairs wet room and wooden floors mean no fear of making things too messy ! Comfy sofas, good WiFi and tv options to watch in front of a real fire . There had been an issue with the fridge freezer which was handled really well with options offered and good communication. Kitchen warm comfortable and well equipped. Ive already looked at potential dates to return with the family. View onto dunes and Valley runway so expect to see and hear the jets in great detail!!

Absolutely fantastic stay at Sandy Bank,really didn't want to leave,and would definitely rebook.

Every thing about it I loved from the art on the wall,to the utility room with shower,a godsend with a sandy,wet spaniel. But the main attraction for me has to be the views..stunning.Would recommend 100% and can't wait to return.

Loved our stay, quirky house views were beautiful, beds comfy, everything you need, lovely pizza place near by, and fish and chip shop, on the beach most days, will be returnining

Beautiful spot

The location is fantastic easy access to beach and Rhosneigr.

Unfortunately the property could do with a good clean, the furniture in the lounge area is filthy, obviously well used which you would expect but it’s not blue fabric but brown with dirt. The outside bench was all broken and a hazard, luckily we had our own chairs to enjoy the sunshine.

Lovely house, outstanding views, very comfortable!

We've booked again for later in the year!

didendent known this was here its a little jem i have spent ten years in this lovlely villiage but never had so nice place stay but you dont do your self any any favours it only five mins from town plz direct from main road second left after fire stastion it so much easy and it does not upset residendt x would love stay again xxxxxxxxxx

The house was in a great location in Rhosneigh and brilliant for the dogs and the drying room was a real bonus.

The house was very clean and provided all facilities that were required including towels, tea coffee and washing facilities it was absolutely great. The house has everything you need for a brilliant holiday We would definitely stay again at this lovely place.

Great holiday in a great location.

Loved the house and facilities. Would certainly book this house again. Children loved the location, especially having WIFI for the young generation and Netflix for their favourite TV programmes in the evening. Great front of house views and sandy path to the beach. Safe location. There is also a great downstairs wet room and plenty of hot water and space for the whole family. There is a easy to use log burner adding that great evening feeling when you have been on the beach all day and the evening is cool, log burner on with a glass of Vino lol. There is central heating if you need it.

Great location but not a 2 min walk to beach.

Need to go over 2 large sand dunes. Kitchen good but house fairly basic otherwise.

We’ve just returned from a fantastic, family, one week, holiday at Sandy Bank.

The house itself is perfectly located on the sand dunes and the view from the front of the house of the coast is just beautiful (the chairs in the front bedroom window make a perfect spot to quietly relax). It’s a short stroll into Rhosneigr itself, with it’s ice cream, cafe’s, bistros and shops, including two surf shops. Also a very short walk across the dunes to the beach, those with mobility issues can reach the beach through town via an access ramp onto the sand. Sandy Bank was clean, cosy and comfortable, everybody slept really well. With two children in our party, we spent a lot of time on the beach body boarding and playing in the sand, so having a shower room as soon as you came in through the back door and a utility area with washing machine and suspended drying rack was pretty perfect for us, it meant the house stayed free of sand! The kitchen was well equipped and family meals around the large table were a nightly occurrence (that and competitive card games!). The living room is large, spacious and comfortable, Netflix is available on the TV so a popcorn and film night is also a possibility for tired little people worn out by the waves! The owner messaged to make sure we had everything we needed and to say she was on hand should we have any issues etc, a lovely touch (thank you) - I would definitely recommend a stay here, perfect base for exploring Rhosneigr or Anglesey itself.

Fantastic location such beautiful views.

We loved watching jets take off from RAF airfield . Beds comfortable and one of the bedrooms had fantastic bay window with lovely wicker chairs and table perfect for reading or just look out with a bottle wine. Shower rooms brilliant . Living room adequate but looks a little faded and unloved but we had lovely time and would probably go back for those wonderful views

The house was beautiful and the host very attentive

Had an absolutely wonderful time at Sandy Bank.

Felt like home from home. Comfortable, spacious and well equipped, but there were only two adults and two dogs there! Great location for visiting the island, which I have fallen in love with. Amazing view from the front of the house, with the sea over the sand dunes on the left, and RAF Valley on the right, watching the jets take off and land!! Enjoyed sitting in the small garden in the evening with a gin, watching the sunset. The jets are quite noisy, but didn’t cause any bother to us. Kitchen well stocked, and easy to use. Just needs some oven gloves! Cottage is located in the quiet end of town, so private and peaceful. Easy to walk in to the main part of the town. Nice walk down to the beach, but need to cross a shallow stream on the beach to get to the main beach. Anglesey Walking Trail just by the dunes, which takes you to a beach further along. Lots to explore! Will definitely be returning!

Great place and a top location, we loved the views and walks.

The house was comfortable and had most amenities we needed, the only thing we were short off was hand towels, we also ran out of wood for the log burner but Annie sent a lady round and re stocked. If you need a short break to renew the mental health this place will fit the bill. We had local fish & chips, and ate outside at the Oyster Catcher both were a treat, we will be back.

Lovely house in a fantastic position.

Kitchen had everything you could need. Comfortable living and sleeping areas. Best showers of anywhere I've ever stayed! Would definitely return, just for the wonderful views.

Sandy Bank was just perfect, it exceeded our expectations.

The house is beautiful and had everything we could have needed. The owner James was in touch during the holiday and made sure we were 100% happy with everything. You can walk out of the front door straight on to the sand dunes and beach, which was perfect for our dog. Rhosneigr is a lovely village with everything you could need within walking distance. We are already planning our return!

A superb property in one of the absolute best locations we have stayed in.

Very comfortable throughout, well equipped and very clean. The views over the beach were so relaxing even though the winds most days whipped up waves which allowed wind surfers and kite surfers to enjoy their sport every day we were there. What a tremendous sight. To walk over the dunes onto the beach and make sandcastles with the little one while our dog chased his ball was delightful. With jet planes and a helicopter on next door RAF Valley out on training every day this was a new experience for us all to watch and wonder at. We spent most of our week in Rhosneigr at the cottage but some great days were had too at Menai, Llandudno and Beaumaris. The local shops and eating places in the village all within short walk were ideal and everyone we spoke to very friendly and welcoming. We would highly recommend a visit any time of year to this beautiful property and hope to return soon.

great location with quick access to beach.

Lots of info about Anglesey and N.Wales. great library of books DVDs and games.

Stunning house, immaculately presented and very clean, great amenities but the location can not be beaten!

This house was so perfect - there were 2 families down there and we had plenty of space without getting under each other’s feet! The house had everything we needed to make for a comfortable stay and the bottle of wine on arrival was a real bonus! I would highly recommend Sandy Bank - we have used Sykes a few time’s and this was definitely the nicest place we have stayed! The views from the front of the house are just stunning and the bay windows really do make the most of it. The kids and dogs loved being so close to the beach and we thought it was great to be close enough to walk to everything but just far enough away to enjoy the peace! The owner was great too - kept in touch and gave us really clear instructions on how to find the place and settle in. There were two files full of information on the house and local area which were really useful too. Amazing house - cannot recommend enough!

We regularly stay in Wales, and this was the best cottage we've ever had.

The proximity to the beach was a real bonus; the views were stunning and the personal touches, such as bottle of wine on arrival and courtesy call form the owner to check all was ok, were greatly appreciated. We can't wait to go back here.

A wonderful house and a wonderful holiday.

Ideal location with beautiful views across the dunes to Rhosneigr beach and RAF Valley to the right.

Lovely spacious house, well equipped and comfortable. The owner was in contact before and during our stay to check if all was well, nice touch.

A lovely dog friendly cottage, next to dunes and sea, perfect.

It was perfect.

Thank you.

As soon as we got there and opened the door we felt at home.

The house is just fab and the way it's layed out is great. Every room was a pleasure and loved putting the real fire on. A complementary bottle of wine and the heating on. My dogs loved the short walk onto the beach, literally 4 min, and so did the grandchildren who also settled well thanks to your trunk of games. loved seeing the planes and watching the surfers. The view from the front and bedroom windows are just amazing. James checked up on how we were and if everything was ok, which it was. I cannot fault anything and just hope I get the chance to go again . This would have been an ideal place to spend Xmas , I checked and it's booked lol. .

Property needed a good spring clean.

To much dust. Sleeping arrangements regarding top bedroom are not really workable as you have to pass through the main bedroom to go to the bathroom. The bunk bedroom is only for children.

A beautiful house themed to reflect its wonderful position.

It has a marvellous collection of paintings prints and sea faring models that adds to the integrity and charm of the property, which is clearly loved by the owners. We have already booked for next year that's our 3rd visit.

A lovely house in a great location.

Close enough to walk to the village but in a very quiet location. The house was perfect for our family of Grandparents, parents and two young children. The children loved the sand dunes and had a great time on the beach. The house is very well equipped for self catering.

Sandy Bank is very well set up to make having a holiday a relaxing experience, all the facilities needed were there and in good condition, all easy to use.

Great views across the bay, fabulous sunsets and easy access to the beach. Lots of good quality comfortable furniture, nothing too fussy, so no need to worry with two small children romping around.

We absolutely loved this house , it met all our needs and more besides , the location was perfect as my grandchildren could go straight onto the beach and play all day if they so wished .

We all loved the selection of books and games and the only thing we thought was missing was our slippers !!!!! Would definitely love to stay there again.

A wonderful house in a wonderful location.

Amazing beaches and fabulous walks. We will definitely be going again!

Sandy Bank was a wonderful place to stay.

The whole house was perfectly clean and comfortable and equipped with everything we could possibly need, the kitchen particularly. The position on the beach was perfect, the views from the front of the house were stunning and it was close to walk to the town centre to local shops and eateries. The owner was extremely helpful regarding check in and check out. Would love to have stayed longer and will definitely be back. Thank you.

A lovely cottage with fabulous views.

You stepped out of the front door and were straight onto the sand dunes which led to Rhosneigr's beautiful beach. Our dogs loved it. The cottage was lovely and the kitchen very well equipped for self catering. The views were amazing, lovely sunsets and a real bonus was to be able to watch the RAF Hawks setting off from the airbase nearby. We will definitely be returning.

The house was lovely.

It provided everything a family would need. Most of all the position on the sand dunes just minutes from the gorgeous beach. The views from the master bedroom and the lounge were exceptional. The owner was most helpful and charming even leaving us a bottle of wine, which was so kind. We would definitely book this house again.

Lovely house in a great position, great communication with owner, definitely would book this property again.

Fantastic property in an ideal location Owners were brilliant & would definitely recommend

This is a very comfortable home away from home which we loved staying in.

..the views are lovely, the interior is comfortable and stylish as well as very functional, just lovely. The owner was also very helpful too.
