  We had a fantastic stay at Ael Y Bryn.

  It is a quirky cottage on two levels with beamed ceilings and interesting little nooks and crannies. A well stocked kitchen, with most everything you could need. There is a sideboard packed with games for the family to play around the dining table, and several DVD's and books to chose from. We particularly liked the layout with several rooms to spread yourself around for a bit of peace and quiet if needed. The garden wasn't huge but plenty of room for our dogs to wander around, they were fascinated by the sheep and cows in the next field. Plenty of dog bowls were provided, along with a bag full of blankets for them. They were as comfortable as we were. The property is in a great location for visiting local tourist attractions, and it is only a short walk into Menai Bridge itself. Informative welcome pack, although we would have liked a little more information about recycling, but maybe that is just us :-) and we couldn't find an outside washing line. All that said, it's a lovely place to visit, very homely and comfortable and we would definitely return.

  We were warmly greeted by our lovely hosts Ron and Glen even though it was quite late when we arrived.

  They live next door and looked out for us arriving. We were given a tour of the 4 bedroomed property which was very clean, spacious and warm and didn't take us long to settle in. The garden was perfect for our 2 dogs and well secured. Only one improvement I'd recommend is in the single room next to the living room which would probably be better suited with a small double bed as ample room for one. It was the perfect base for us, we walked to the Menai Bridge, visited Bangor Pier and the stunning Aber falls, popped over to Llandwyn in Angelsey and walked to the lighthouse, visited Llandudno's Pier and shopping centre which is huge. The weather on the whole was great. Lots of pubs and restaurants are dog friendly and even bring a bowl of water over for them. We visited the Bridge Inn, Antelope Inn, The Castle, Tap and Spile (but now got a new name) with a chippy attached, the cafe on Bangor Pier and The Skerries. We would highly recommend this lovely house and great for visiting the many nearby attractions. Thank you for having us.

  Cleanliness and presentation of the cottage up to the usual good standard.

  Unfortunately little or no improvement in the outside space and access to the back door since our comments following our previous visit a month ago. Lawn area still overgrown, surrounding ivy, brambles etc still encroaching on paths especially path from gate to back door which is the most convenient to use. Upturned food bin, Pyrex unwashed casserole and flower pot all just outside back door amongst the weeds and undergrowth. Such lack of care and attention doesn’t make the outside space an attractive prospect when the summer months give opportunities to use the garden furniture for fresh air and sunshine. Photos available if required. 2 hours general clearing and tidying would present a cared for, well maintained and attractive outdoor space.

  The cottage is beautifully presented, a real homely feel to the place.

  It is in a quiet location which was perfect for what we wanted but on our doorstep were a number of country walks. Also the town of Menai Bridge is within walking distance (downhill all the way, so up hill all the way back). All the many highlights of Anglesey are within easy striking distance to explore as is the mainland as you are in the shadow of the Menai Bridge. The owners are lovely and all correspondence was prompt and helpful as is the welcome pack telling you all the details of local activities available. This property is highly recommended and we would not hesitate to book again Thank for allowing us to stay at this wonderful well equipped cottage. Ivan, Halifax

  Our 5th visit to this cottage.

  Previous visits have been very satisfactory. This time: On arrival required number of beds not made up and one bedroom not ready. Carpet cleaner arrived to rectify carpet ‘accident’ from previous guests. Oven failed to reach temperature and failed completely on last day No instructions at all for ceramic hob. Trial and error sometimes successful, sometimes not. As experienced holiday cottage visitors we would expect all systems to be in working order on arrival. After phoning owner immediate concerns were swiftly rectified, but need reassurance that Sykes cottages check their properties to fulfil their advertising claims and ensure properties are ready for guests arrival.
