  Wonderful house!

  Bryn Dale is very generously sized, has oodles of character but is very modern and well equipped. The kitchen is superb with quality fittings, a pair of splendid Neff ovens and hob, and very well stocked cupboards with everything you could possibly need. It’s a good size and a subset of our party often ate there. The children loved the breakfast island. There are patio doors onto the garden so you have a lovely view. We found the utility room and washing machine very convenient. There was an extra fridge here. The lounge/diner is similarly large and the table easily accommodated all 10 of us together. The patio doors were handy too. The sofas are nicely positioned to facilitate conversation and games. There are books, games, a sound system and of course TV, but we didn’t watch it much. The bookshelves also contained maps of Anglesey and books of coastal walks. The sleeping accommodation is very well arranged on the 2 upper floors and suited our family dynamics perfectly. The beds are so comfortable and all the linen, towels etc. hotel quality. The bathrooms are all luxurious and there was plenty of hot water. Outside, the garden is very private once the gates are closed. Our dog did manage to find a gap in the fence up on the higher level and jumped down onto the pavement. Fortunately he did not run off, but it was a shock to see him wagging his tail on the other side of the gate asking to be let back in! He’s never out of our sight for long either so it shows how things happen so quickly. The location is superb and about 5 minutes walk from the beach. There’s no busy road to cross. The local Spar was handy and sold newspapers. We also rented a paddle board from there. We would definitely visit Bryn Dale again. The house is even larger and nicer that’s the photos suggest. The owners are easily contacted and very helpful if you have a problem.

  The house is an excellent option for groups or families.

  The space is well thought out and the decking and garden spaces are a big plus. The kitchen is well equipped and it’s great to have a utility room too. It is within easy walking distance to the beach. For the most part then, I would recommend it. I do, however, have a couple of negative comments: 1) Given that this property is advertised as ‘family friendly’ it would be a real bonus were the owners to say, as do many other properties, that cot and high chair are available on request. Because my booking included an infant I assumed there would be some provision for an infant but when I rang the owner I was told in rather curt terms that the property doesn’t offer this. There was no sense of apology or even understanding, which left an unfortunate impression and a little bad feeling before the holiday even began. This was a pretty expensive property and I would have hoped for a nicer reception. We had to leave out much of the stuff we wanted to bring in order to pack a cot and we had to try to find a makeshift solution for a high chair for our one-year-old. I suggest that the owners make explicit on their site that they don’t cater for infants; 2) it’s a bit cheeky to ask clients to do the cleaning, strip the beds and leave the place as they would wish to find it if you are only giving them access at 4pm on day 1 of their holiday and asking them to leave at 10am on the day of departure. Why does it take 6 hours for outside cleaners to prepare for the next party if the clients themselves have already done all the cleaning? This is no longer anything to do with COVID. I suggest an earlier arrival time, enabling families with otherwise loaded cars to get to the supermarket without it all being a massive rush. That would feel more hospitable.

  We stayed the 1st week of July '22 for 7 days.

  It's a lovely property, well equipped for a comfortable stay and cleaned to a high standard (though we did note a couple of spiderwebs and resident spiders). The perimeter is secure to allow dogs to roam without fear of escape, similar for young children too. A couple of points to call out, the shower over the bath on the first floor seems to have an issue with the temperature gauge, meaning it's stuck at a set temperature, that is quite hot. The property is equipped with a rotary washing line, however, it's tucked away in the shade, and grubby from being left out. It might be worthwhile providing a retractable line to allow guests to take advantage of sunshine over the garden, or equipping the property with a dryer. Several lightbulbs in the property appear to be early versions of energy savers, which take an age to come up to full brightness, and suffer from poor light output, it might be worth replacing with some modern warm white LED's to give a nicer even ambient light. The points above are all minor, and shouldn't be a reason to not consider this property. Its location is fantastic, 5 minutes walk to the beach, what more can you ask for!

  Whilst the house was lovely large and airy, for the price I would have expected simple things to be sorted.

  All the beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable. 3 lamps in the living/ dining room weren’t working. 1 lamp in the living / dining room had a broken shade. Minimal amount of toilet rolls and tea towels. Both fridges felt like they weren’t completely working properly. Some of it just felt a bit tired and dated - think it needs a bit of sprucing up in terms of bedroom furniture and artwork ( the canvasses are a bit naff and dated). I have run a luxury holiday home and would always ensure these things were nailed before any bookings (which were at 2/3s the cost). Kitchen was lovely though and had everything we needed equipment wise. Great kitchen for those who love to cook. Great selection of games to play too! Loved the monopoly set. House was big enough to have our own space away from the family. The 2 dogs loved it too, and had a nice big garden to wander around in feeling secure.

  Overall all our party were content with the general standard and facilities within the house.

  But based on previous experience, I would make the following observations by way of upping the standard and aligning to what we have previously experienced, namely: Property needs a deep clean and paint refreshing Number of tiles in bathroom cracked Grouting and sealant dirty - needs replacing Freezer needs defrosting For size of property needs a larger freezer and ice making facility Furniture in lounge very basic and not very comfortable Seats around dining table very basic and not very comfortable On the positive: Beds comfortable, very spacious, nice garden which was secure for the dog and plenty and varied crockery, kitchen equipment and glasses. Also radios, TV, DVDs, internet all very good. On balance we would return to the property.
