  10 of us stayed in the house 7th-14th April 2023.

  Ages 2.5 up to 67. All rooms are spacious. The downstairs bedrooms was perfect for us to stay in with our 2.5 year old as she could come and go without us having to worry about her navigating stairs. We used a blow up travel bed for our 2.5 year old in the downstairs double room and as they are so spacious there was no problem fitting it in. The room has pale curtains on the main window so the sun does make the room incredibly light. I would recommend packing a black out blind if this would be problematic for your little one. The house is well equipped with everything you can think of - definitely take the time to check all cupboards/utility room/storage areas when you first arrive as you will be surprised at what useful items they have available. The view from the back of the house is simply stunning! The table was also big enough to sit everyone on and the main living room is big enough for everyone to relax in - which isn't always the case in larger houses. We had a Tesco shop delivered when we arrived which worked perfectly. The house is remote so nice and peaceful. There is a handmade doughnut shop (Monnuts) 10 minutes away by car which are a lovely treat. The main tourist attractions / areas to visit we found were usually 25-40 mins away. I think we experienced every type of weather during our week there - including bad wind, during which there was a 2 hour power cut. The owners were very helpful and updated us on when it should be back on. I would highly recommend the house!

  Mimi and Charles were charming and gave us some useful information about the 14th century mill, it’s history, and the facilities.

  The welcome pack was one of the best we’d ever had. The property was huge and easily accommodated 8 of us. The bedding, and beds are top quality and assured a great nights sleep, although “one up, all up” seems to be the default position due to the click/latch doors and creaky floorboards! The living room is spacious and has big comfy sofas, in which to relax the evening away. The kitchen was well appointed and marvellously stocked with everything needed to cook for up to 12 hungry residents. A great deal of thought had obviously gone into that, any many other aspects of our stay. Some minor criticisms were the lighting throughout Felin, which are disjointed and quite dated, however a complete electrical refit would be an extortionate expense, so we put it down to the age of this grand old lady. The massive marble table was more than big enough for a full house, however the cushion pads on the dining chairs were flaking and looked somewhat shabby, but that could be easily remedied. The outside space is delightful, the side, walled patio overlooking the mini-harbour and the Menai Straits is enchanting. There was a private car park for the property, directly across from Felin, and as there was very little traffic down the long unmade track, it felt very secure. All in all, a beautiful property in a staggering location, ideally placed for the North Wales mainland and the amazing island of Anglesey.

  A spacious and well-equipped property located in a scenic area badly let down by cleanliness and maintenance issues.

  On arrival the condition of this property was very disappointing with regards to cleanliness. The oil-fired boiler situated at one end of the property has clearly had a recent leak which has resulted in a very strong smell of fuel oil at that end of the property, so much so we felt it was not possible to use the washroom, bedroom and facilities in that area of the property due to the level of fumes. In addition, basic property cleanliness was found to be very poor on arrival: 1) A large amount of the crockery had very obvious traces of food on them from a previous occupier. 2) Staircase was filthy 3) Fridge door handle had food stains from a previous occupier 4) Internal door glazing covered in stains and fingerprints from previous occupant/s. 5) Shower enclosure for the main bedroom covered in dried water stains from previous use 6) The owners dog seen using property lawn as a toilet. As such the area was unsuitable for the 2year old toddler in our party to play on. If the presence of free roaming dogs was made clear on the website description, we would not have booked the property.

  We had an amazing week.

  The property was so spacious and comfortable and well laid out and perfect for a holiday with three generations. Having 2 living rooms worked really well. We were away with 4 under 2 yrs and 5 months so they could play in view at all times. The bedrooms were big and well appointed and there were plenty of bathrooms/en-suites. The kitchen/diner easily accommodates 12 and has plenty of room to keep each other company whilst cooking. The garden at the back was lovely and big and would be a great play space - we visited in November so didn’t get out there as often as we would have liked. After speaking to Laura, we were also able to take the two 2 year olds down to see the cows - they both loved it. Lovely views across the lake and to the mountains and stunning sunrises made the early mornings with the little ones so worth it. Being quite central, we had easy access to all parts of the island. I would thoroughly recommend the property to any large family groups. It had a real home from home feeling to it. We had a wonderful holiday. Thanks Laura.

  Hi we really enjoyed the stay, the location is great.

  As a family we always go away for the New Year, we’ve stayed in over 15 properties. Im not one for complaining, I’ll just offer an honest assessment of my stay. In comparison to others we’ve stayed in, the property was dirty. The fridge in the utility room had gone off milk in it and smelled. Our bedding was damp, the kids bedroom upstairs bedding wasn’t changed. It had someone else’s hair on the pillow. First aid kit was out of date, dishwasher and washing machine doors were broken. Rooms are damp, with mould spores on the walls. TV is poor quality, batteries flat in the remote. We had to plug in a laptop to watch Netflix. Outdoor lighting isn’t great. Being totally honest, it didn’t feel like it’s been cleaned properly for a long time. Could be made allot nicer and more welcoming for customers. It’s not a cheap holiday, so you’d expect the basics to be allot better. It needs upgrading if you’re wanting to charge a premium for it. Thanks
