From the minute we set foot in the cottage we felt at home. It was very well laid out with comfortable seating, the beds were perfect for us and the kitchen was well equipped. It was lovely waking up to see the sheep and cows outside the windows. It was very nice to meet Richard, Nell and Shonin the dog. The location was perfect and very quiet despite being next to the road and the places we visited were within easy reach. We would definitely stay here again.

My wife, our 8-year-old son and I have just returned from a 7 night stay at Glanrhyd and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The hosts were truly hospitable and made our stay feel extra special - even going out of their way to help us out of a sticky situation with a pre-booked grocery delivery when we got stuck in traffic on the way.The cottage was immaculately clean and we couldn't fault it at all - everything we needed was there, including a lovely welcome pack with milk, tea bags, bara brith (Welsh fruit cake), stroopwafels and other little bits we needed whilst we were there. Beds were really comfortable too!Don't let the location put you off this place - whilst it is on a main road, you have to remember that this is a rural location in the North West of Anglesey, so traffic was sporadic and no busier than your average cul-de-sac. In fact, Glanrhyd was ideally situated near several beautiful beaches - Porth Swtan (Church Bay) was a particular highlight for us, and Cemaes and several other cracking beaches were just minutes away. Some days we ventured to the far side of Anglesey, to places like Benllech and Beaumaris, which were around 40-45 minutes' drive through the picturesque countryside.We would definitely return to Glanrhyd!There were a couple of minor suggestions that could have helped. We had only 2 toilet rolls for 3 of us for 7 nights, so had to pop out to buy more. The shower also didn't seem to get very warm, even though the water temperature was fine everywhere else in the house. And being in a rural spot, the cottage has a septic tank which wasn't a problem in itself, but it had a red flashing light that beeped every few seconds for the whole stay - not loud, but enough that we couldn't really sit outside for evening meals in the sunshine without it being a bit distracting. None of this detracted from our wonderful stay here, though.Thanks Gwenda, Owain and Richard!
