  We had a lovely stay in a well decorated and thought out renovated cottage.

  All the hot water and showers etc worked really well, the decor was lovely and neutral but cosy making the cottage feel more spacious but also homely. We had a couple of hiccups which were dealt with really swiftly and directly with the owner via text that we’re nothing to do with the cottage- we were plagued with a vomiting bug on our first night! However, it would have been useful if there had been a spare set of bedding provided for emergencies like this as we were scrambling around with towels at 2am. We came as a family of four with a dog and a 2 and 3 year old. The cottage was safe enough for them but it wasn’t geared up to accommodate children of this age at all, and for younger toddlers the stair gate is half way up the stairs off the main living area so you’d be eyes-on constantly. There are no child catches on the under sink cupboard either and the log burner is unguarded. If you’re coming with little kids I’d recommend bringing a step for the bathroom and plastic plates/cups/cutlery which I naively was expecting some sort of provision for given that there was a high chair provided! Thankfully there was a stick hoover to keep the place relatively clean. The beds were very comfortable and had lovely white company bedding. I would have found it useful to have some hooks in the bedroom with the ensuite- I actually ended up taking the pictures off the walls to hang up my dresses! A mirror would also have been useful for doing hair etc. my husband and I took the two joined single beds Over the double as we are used to a superking and there was a TV in the room. It also had the ensuite with shower. It seemed slightly confused upstairs as to which bedrooms had been set up for parents vs kids though with a wardrobe full of hangers in the smaller double. The kitchen was well equipped with every essential utensil- tried and tested as I ordered some meal kits for our week long stay! The mugs were very small though- I love a bucket of tea in the morning so would bring my own next time. The wine and fizzy wine glasses were perfect though - not those awful thick short stemmed goblet things you often get in self catered places. Given the little luxury finishes like WC sheets and thick John Lewis towels and elegant glassware/crockery it would have been a nice finishing touch to have some toiletries/robes to give the stay a higher end and more hotel like feel. A BBQ outside with the rattan chairs would also have been a very welcome addition. Overall our stay was lovely and Im looking at booking the same week for next year!

  A fantastic stay at Valley Pines.

  Communication before and during was excellent. Everything you could want in a holiday home. Kitchen completely kitted out with everything you need. Beds very comfortable. Shower nice and hot. Lovely welcome touches, welcome basket, milk in fridge even a pumpkin, carving kit and packets of sweets to give out to trick and treaters as we were there over Halloween. A perfect base.. We explored the whole island whilst we were there and benefitted from some blue skies and sunny dry days. Unexpected in November but definitely added to our enjoyment of the week. There are some amazing beaches nearby and some lovely hidden bays to the north. The Hidden Wales book on the shelf came in very useful. We didn't make full use of the garden, which is very big and also has everything you need, as it was dark by 6pm. We loved Anglesey! Thank you, we will be back.

  Great home, the garden was fantastic.

  Brilliant location. We loved the garden so much it really made our stay especially with the weather we had, the hot tub is amazing! Only 5 min walk to shops and restaurants chippy etc. Only downside was the cleaning. At first glance it looked clean however after living there it’s clear it needs a deep clean, the shower had black mould, the fireplace was filthy, just generally needed a deep clean, under the sofas and furniture not been cleaned for a long time. The dog found a ball covered in dust and fluff under the lounge furniture We did bleach the mould off and wiped the fireplace the cloth was black, not the owners fault but I would recommended getting a better housekeeper. Also check out says 11am in book but the hot tub man told us it’s 10am so book needs updating! We would stay again though easy fixes for the cleaning!

  Great stay at Valley Pines - lovely comfortable, cosy, well-appointed and clean accommodation.

  Ideally situated on a quiet residential street and a great base for exploring Anglesey. Good parking area on drive so we didn’t have to worry about our car. Lovely dog-friendly beach almost on your doorstep. Great facilities, very relaxing garden, loved the hammock, bbq and the hot tub is fantastic! We were very lucky with the weather and it was great to have such a lovely outdoor space to utilise during our stay - our dogs had a great time and loved the garden. Lovely welcome pack with great local produce - loved the coffee and Welsh cakes! The owners really have thought of everything for their guests. Very comfortable beds, slept really well during our stay. Will highly recommend to our family and friends and we would love to return in the future. Thank you

  What a delightful bungalow.

  The owners had really thought about all the little extras to make your stay a home from home. The welcome hamper was a welcome treat when we arrived Friday night keeping us going till we did a food shop the next day. Beach (pebbly) was a short walk away and there was a perfect wooded area for dog walking. The surrounding beaches were lovely. Spent more than usual chilling out in back garden, utilizing the hot tub, hammock and seated area. Gas BQ was excellent though took some cleaning afterwards. NOW TV and WIFI was excellent. South Stack lighthouse very nearby, visited Velocity 2, Snowden Mountain both about 50 min drive away. I did have to pick someone else's dog poo up on the back lawn but that was only a minor thing. Perfect holiday would come back again.
