Guests say
5 Cae Derwydd is a spacious, well-located cottage in Cemaes Bay, praised for its proximity to the village, beach, and local amenities. Guests appreciate the quiet setting, secure garden, and ample space for families and pets. While many found the property clean and comfortable, several reviews mention that the house would benefit from some maintenance and updates, particularly to bedding, furniture, and minor repairs. Overall, it offers a pleasant base for exploring Anglesey, with most guests enjoying their stay.
Many guests found the property clean and tidy, but there are recurring mentions of dust, stained furniture, and occasional missed cleaning details such as dead insects and unlaundered bedding. Some reviews noted issues with odours and cleanliness of kitchenware, but these were not universal.
The location is consistently praised, with guests highlighting the quiet cul-de-sac, easy walking distance to the village, beach, and harbour, and convenient access to local amenities. The setting is a standout feature for most visitors.
Guests appreciate the spaciousness and secure garden, but comfort is affected by dated or uncomfortable mattresses, thin curtains, and occasional heating issues. While some found the beds comfortable, others reported poor sleep quality due to bedding and temperature.
The house is generally well-equipped, with good showers and kitchen basics, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as faulty door handles, broken furniture, and appliances needing repair. Some facilities, like the tumble dryer and outdoor furniture, are restricted or in need of attention.
Several guests noted the absence of a welcome pack, up-to-date information folders, and basic amenities like towels or kitchen essentials. While some appreciated the helpfulness of the neighbour, gifts or thoughtful extras are not guaranteed.

Upstairs chest of drawers crumbs left inside plus false nails under the edge of the bed. Downstairs bedroom underneath wooden block not attached. Kitchen broken cup handle and chipped cups. Kitchen worktop appears to be varnished and felt sticky after wiping away with cloth. Rug in living room a slip hazard when you walked on it it moved. Overall good location to town/beach and not too far to visit other location in Anglesey and Holyhead .
