Layout worked well for us. Negative; Not clean, stairs dirty and not been hoovered. Cobwebs with spiders which boys did not like. Double bed unmade on arrival, spare sheets could only find a single and it was all creased and not very inviting. No oven gloves - dangerous getting things out of the oven/microwave. No bath mat -floor slippery and dangerous for boys when wet. No teaspoons - hard for the boys to eat yogurt and cereals. These niggles just took the edge off our stay.

The location is amazing and the chalet itself is cosy and has a certain charm. However, there were 3 main issues on our arrival: - Cleanliness. It was not good. Cobwebs and dead insects everywhere, dirty toilet. We had to clean the whole place from top to bottom. I have no doubt that somebody had charged the owners to clean the property but frankly they are ripping you off. It was not clean at all and you don't go on holiday to clean. - Shower wouldn't work. A plumber was sent by Menai Cottages and the issue was water pressure. It was fixed fairly immediately. As we didn't arrive until quite late on our first day, however, it was essentially day 3 before it was sorted. - WiFi broken. The owner drove all the way from Kent to fix this, which seemed above and beyond. Thank you, Andy. Again, it was essentially day 3 of a 7 night stay when it was sorted. Finally, there is a hole/tear in the fascia/soffit to the rear of the chalet and something is nesting in there. The rustling at night did keep me awake at times. All in all... the location is amazing (I can't overstate this enough, it's stunningly beautiful), the owners are extremely helpful and the use of their Friends and Family pass absolutely invaluable. The children loved the activities on this quite brilliant site. The beds are comfortable and the kitchen and living room well enough equipped. However, the property just feels as though it needs a little more TLC and, whilst we had a great time together as a family, we were a little disappointed overall with the property itself on this occasion.
