  We recently had a wonderful stay at Glyn Ewryd!

  Mari’s communication was excellent before, during and after our stay. We followed her advice to get Asda to deliver direct to the house (something which we never would have thought of had she not mentioned it) and we she was great at helping us to find somewhere local for Sunday lunch during our stay. The house itself was beautiful and well appointed. We travel quite regularly using private hire such as Airbnb and Sykes Cottages and we find most places lacking in some of the things we use at home… so we usually bring quite a lot of things with us. However, for this trip we needn’t have bothered as Glyn Ewryd had absolutely everything we needed! From pop up laundry hampers in all the bedrooms, to clothes airers perfect for drying towels and swimwear, to simple things such as a butter dish (we don’t eat marg!) and a decent set of cookware… although we brought all of these things with us it was lovely see that the house was well stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We won’t be bringing it all next time we stay! As I said the house was beautiful with plenty of space for our family, the log burner was lovely to light in the evening (again, we brought our own logs, but Mari had provided a full basket for us… we left them for the next guests!) and the heating system provided additional warmth when we needed it. The bedrooms were roomy with solid furniture and comfy beds, we couldn’t ask for better, but the kitchen was by far my favourite room in the house, with the huge table being perfect for family meals and board games and the range cooker being fantastic to use also. We spent most of our time between the front lounge and the kitchen. The hot tub to the rear of the house, and the trampoline at the front, were utilised by our teens throughout the trip and they thought they were wonderful additions to our stay. As stated in the booking terms and conditions the hot tub had been cleaned and refilled meaning it wasn’t ready to use on our day of arrival… but we already knew this would be the case so had planned not to be using it that evening anyway. Mari also visited half way through our trip to perform checks on the hot tub which I thought was an excellent touch. We ate at The Ring Pub (which is virtually at the end of the driveway) for Sunday lunch and I highly, highly recommend anybody staying at Glyn Ewryd to do the same. The food was absolutely lovely. We also visited to the nearby self service milkshake hut by the Gadlys Hotel and found the milkshakes to be even nicer than our local one, so that was a nice surprise! Also, as we had communicated with Mari that we would be doing this she very kindly loaned us 4 glass bottles to save us bringing our own from home, which again was a lovely touch. Overall I couldn’t fault the property or Mari as a host. We were made to feel SO welcome… with cake and pantry staples being left for us to use. The house was cosy and, as I said, had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We visited in November 2021 and are already planning to return next year, perhaps when the weather is a bit warmer and we can take more advantage of the outside space for dining and socialising. If you’re thinking of booking Glyn Ewryd I highly recommend that you do.

  Glan Towyn was the absolute perfect place for our 40th birthday celebration week.

  The property itself is gorgeous and so uniquely decorated, with such thought and care and good quality, well maintained furniture. The kitchen/dining room has such beautiful views out of the massive windows, and we spent a lot of time on the balcony when we were in the house. It is a short walk to a quiet beach, and the provision of wetsuits and paddleboards, kayak and other beach and garden items was an absolute bonus as it meant we got to try things that we wouldn't have normally. The hot tub was lovely and clean, as was the sauna and bbq. It also has a charge point for EV vehicles which was a great bonus for my brother as he didn't have to hunt down somewhere to charge. We loved having a games room too - this was right up my families street. The White Eagle up the road was a great pub/place to eat. The guidance in the property was also really useful for looking into other places to go. There are really nice walks from the property too. Word of warning - the lane to the property is single track and tight. You get used to it, but be aware if you have a giant car (although we had 2 4WD and a small motorhome and were ok) In summary, it is a beautiful place and area that we didn't want to leave, and wish we could return to again and again.

  Glan Towyn is amazing!

  We spent a fantastic long weekend with a group of friends at the house. The owners have created a modern, contemporary but also a traditional luxury home. It really is amazing in real life! Upon arrival were we overwhelmed with Glan Towyn and quickly felt relaxed and so at home there. The kitchen wanted for nothing and the views from both balconies in the daylight are stunning. The house is decorated in William Morris furnishings which we are now all in love with. It is literally 2 minutes walk to the beach and 5 minutes to the White Eagle pub. For a winter or summer destination Glan Towyn really does tick all the boxes for all generations. We walked the coastal path to Treaddur Bay and the scenery is breathtaking. The owners have created a holiday haven. We all enjoyed the game’s room, the sauna and hot tub. All bedrooms are super luxurious and with two fantastic lounges plus a snug there is always a quiet place to sit and relax by the log burners. We really cannot fault Glan Towyn and would love to return there year and year. Thank you to the Nikols family for thinking of everything that really does make a holiday perfect! An amazing gem in beautiful Rhoscolyn.

  Glan Towyn is an amazing house set in an amazing location just a stones-throw from the beach.

  The owners have thought of just about everything to make the holiday as enjoyable as possible. It takes something pretty special to excite teenagers but the kids in our group just wandered around the house shouting 'look at this' to just about everything. The games room became their sanctuary, playing pool, table tennis and darts. The rest of the house is just as special, with everything you could think of on-hand. The kitchen/diner area is vast with amazing views in all directions leading onto two raised terraces allowing the outside to come inside, or vice versa. The sheds house paddleboards, wetsuits, a great barbeque that cooked a paella brilliantly and even a sauna. The hot tub was spotless and the water changed weekly. The owners and housekeeping staff really went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed and we couldn't praise them enough. The downside of having such as special house on such a lovely cove is that we didn't get to explore Anglesey much. We will definitely go back to Glan Towen and for longer than a week so we can explore further afield. Congratulations to the owners for creating and sharing such an amazing place.

  What a wonderful house!

  We have had the best week at Glan Towyn. The house and facilities are perfect; all 12 of us (3 generations) were so comfortable. The decor and furnishings are aspirational - it is all SO well curated. The games room and outside areas were perfect for the children and the adults really appreciated the 4 sitting rooms to choose from with plenty of sofas and armchairs to go around. The 3 balconies were well used to take advantage of the beautiful views. The amazing kitchen is so well stocked and has a huge island unit and dining table to allow us to eat together. We didn’t explore much of the local area by car as we didn’t need to - we swam in the sea every morning, warmed up in the hot tub, went for lovely coastal walks, visited the local pub and even saw seals in Rhoscolyn bay. We christened the house the HHOD - Holiday House of Dreams and it really has ruined us for the future. I don’t think we could stay anywhere better. At the end of the week we left as firm fans of William Morris and even bigger fans of Rhoscolyn. A magical place.
