Guests say

Guests have had a delightful experience at this well-equipped and comfortable cottage, praising its cleanliness, convenient location, and the thoughtful welcome packs. The property is dog-friendly with a secure garden, and it serves as an excellent base for exploring Anglesey and North Wales. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being spotless and very clean. This indicates a well-maintained environment that guests appreciate.

The location is frequently described as great, with easy access to Menai Bridge, local amenities, and as a base for exploring Anglesey. The quiet neighbourhood is also appreciated, although the hilly terrain was a slight concern for some.

Comfort is highlighted with specific mentions of comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen. Some guests suggested additional seating, but overall, the property is seen as a comfortable stay.

Facilities are generally praised, especially the well-stocked kitchen. However, some reviews point out minor maintenance issues like a squeaky bed and a loose toilet seat, which slightly impacts the score.

While the welcome packs are frequently mentioned and appreciated, there is no consistent reference to other thoughtful gestures that could be evaluated. Therefore, this score is set to null, but it's worth noting that the welcome packs are a hit among guests.

About this property

22 Gwel Yr Wyddfa is a recently refurbished three-bedroom property, less than a mile from the centre of Menai Bridge and its many attractions and amenities. 22 Gwel Yr Wyddfa is the ideal base for families exploring this beautiful part of North Wales. As you walk through the front door, you’ll find a fully renovated kitchen with high-quality amenities, including a dishwasher, washing machine, gas hob and oven, fridge/freezer and all the cooking utensils you'll need to create a culinary feast. Continue on through the hallway into the large living room, where an inviting sofa and arm chair provide the perfect spot to unwind in front of the widescreen TV after a day exploring the sights of North Wales. Enjoy a meal together in the dining room, which opens straight into the enclosed south-facing patio garden area with plenty of seating to enjoy the warm, afternoon sunshine while your four-legged friends stretch their legs. The spacious ground-floor double bedroom boasts plenty of storage space and overlooks the patio area, benefitting from access to the cloakroom, with a basin and WC, where you can freshen up. Head up the stairs to discover two further bedrooms, consisting of a large twin room which gets lots of natural light from the Velux window, along with a single room that would be ideal for a child. The contemporary family bathroom completes the layout; decorated to a high standard in neutral colours, with a bath and shower over, so you can enjoy a relaxing soak or a quick rinse to prepare for each new day.

Just a short walk away from this quiet neighbourhood is a number of pubs and restaurants in the centre of Menai Bridge, including popular seafront restaurant Dylan’s Menai Bridge, where you can enjoy local produce whist taking in the views across the spectacular Menai Straight. There’s plenty of activities to enjoy in the local area to suit everyone; for thrill seekers, enjoy a rib ride on the Menai Strait, taking in the beautiful coastline of North Wales whilst travelling up to 50mph on a rigid inflatable boat.

    Lovely thoughtful welcome gifts and the property was one of the cleanest we have stayed in! The location is perfect for discovering Anglesey or north Wales. Would definatley return in the future/recommend.

  • Jack

    Close to local amenities. This is by far the cleanest holiday home my partner and I have ever stayed in and the welcome basket was appreciated. Perfect garden for my greyhound with high fences I was able to relax knowing she was safe. Newborough beach is a must for anyone visiting. Highly recommend!!!!
