What our customers say about their holidays

  There are a number of issues at this property the most serious being the garden which does not comply with Health and Safety regulations and is not suitable for small children and or elderly/disabled people.

  There is an unprotected edge from the patio level to the garden level below and delaminated paving on the patio which is a trip hazard. The cooker is not fit for purpose as all the number settings are worn away and you are unable to see what temperature you are cooking on (the owner advised me that she was already aware of this) The furniture is very old and tired and there is a strong musty smell in the cottage and in particular in the wardrobes. The only good thing about this property is the view from the garden of Red Wharf Bay I contacted the owner of the property who agreed to refund her part of the booking fee but who now seems to have backtracked on her offer and does not return my messages she also asked me not to take to social media with any negative comments. Sykes have also refused to refund anything at all as they say that the photographs of the garden should have been enough for us to see the drop and felt that they did not need to put a disclaimer on their website. I have sent photographic evidence to Sykes of how dangerous the garden is but have heard nothing back. Clearly they do not care about the safety of their clients. We had to vacate the property after two hours and find alternative accommodation at our own expense with another holiday company (Boltholes & Hideaways, who were exceptionally helpful). We are now almost £1300 out of pocket. This is a warning to anyone thinking of booking this property to steer well clear of it if you have vulnerable/disable people in your party.

  We’ve just got home after lovely week in this beautiful cottage.

  The layout of the house is perfect, interesting and everyone had their own little space to just be and do what they wanted. Cosy and country style. Views kept us all glued to the back of the house and watching the tide come and go was very peaceful. No other people close by and very private. Rear garden all enclosed so dogs were free range and they spent lots of time out there surfing the breeze. Plenty seating around the cottage which was great. Both baths and showers have really good pressure. The kitchen is a mishmash of wooden drawers and cupboards which took us all week to get used to, it is so well equipped! The middle cupboard under the island had herbs salt pepper etc which we were grateful of. The fire was already made all ready to light and this was the best welcome gift ever! Sheets crisp and clean, beds comfortable and plenty room. Upstairs above the 2nd king bedroom is pretty steep to access, but our 8 yr old loved the rocking chair and desk, lots of space to herself and was happy just chilling up there. It’s all low low ceilings upstairs. I would recommend you take a plug in night light as she found it tricky to navigate her way down in the dark while needing a wee! Utility room has all you need. We fit a camper van and big car no problem on the drive, was easier to reverse on than attempt to reverse off. Ship Inn down the road has most delicious food - make sure you book. We would all like to return to Ty’n Cae and enjoy the peaceful cosy vibe of it again.

  Over the past 39 years, we have had the privilege of renting properties across many countries, and this rental stands out as one of the best we've ever experienced.

  While the property itself is absolutely superb—featuring four en-suite bedrooms and a layout perfect for relaxation—it was the owners who truly elevated our stay. This trip was a special family reunion, bringing together loved ones from South Africa, Australia, Sweden, and England. The house provided the perfect setting for such a meaningful gathering. From the outset, the owners’ hospitality was impeccable. They were incredibly accommodating, maintained excellent communication, and responded promptly to any requests. Staying during Christmas, we were delighted to find the house beautifully adorned with two Christmas trees, reflecting the care and thoughtfulness they put into making our holiday special. The attention to detail was unparalleled. They provided high-quality essentials like coffee, tea, Welsh cakes, and a delicious Welsh fruit loaf. To top it off, there were one or two bottles of Prosecco chilling in the fridge alongside a perfectly set wine cooler—an impressive touch that did not go unnoticed. We wholeheartedly recommend both the property and its wonderful owners. It was a perfect stay, and we are already looking forward to returning in the summer. An absolute gem of a rental!

  This house was stunning.

  The design was spot on for anyone with a disability as there was a ground floor bedroom with a wet room. The outside too also accommodating anyone with a disability to access the seating area. The decor and furnishings were of the highest standards. This was better than “home from home” comfort. From the moment we approached the property and stepped inside, it was the “WOW” factor. The other 3 bedrooms all had huge en-suite’s and quality shower rooms. The bedrooms were huge, beds and pillows were comfortable, with quality bedding and towels. We cannot rate this property highly enough, the owners have truly put so much thought into this property. Thank you for sharing and for the wonderful welcome pack too…a lovely surprise on our arrival. The location is perfect too, just 5 mins from Benllech and it’s stunning beach. We all throughly enjoyed our time at Maes Llywd and we didn’t want to leave.

  Maes Llwyd is a fine example of a perfect holiday home.

  We had a wonderful stay. The house was spotlessly clean and was perfect for our family needs. The owner let us know when the house was ready for us which was before the official 5pm and there was a lovely hamper left for us which included lots of goodies including everything for a hot drink on arrival to a couple of bottles of fizz once the children were in bed. There was always hot water and everyone’s shower was powerful. The beds were comfy and plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. A high chair, cot and stair gate were also provided. We usually head to the Llyn and bypass Anglesey but we all loved the island as much as the Llyn and will definitely return to Maes Llwyd. We left a teddy and phone charger which was kindly posted on to us. Would recommend The Oyster Catcher in Rhosneiger for good food and Greenwood Family park near Caernarfon for an adventure day out.
