  A well-equipped cottage offering plenty of space and the perfect garden.

  We had a fortnight stay and loved the cottage for several reasons: brilliantly placed for short drive to beautiful beaches, a short drive to retail park for all shopping needs, and of course, spacious living accommodation. Having two reception rooms meant we could have a place for quiet if you wanted to be away from television etc. The garden is a sun trap and completely dog friendly. We would honestly be back in a heartbeat as it offered us everything we needed. It’s cosy, quiet and comfortable. The nearest beach (cobbles) is walking distance, and the cottage is surrounded by walking opportunities. Great to see wonderful sunsets over the sea within walking distance. Although we didn’t use (heatwave!), I’d imagine the log fire would be fabulous on colder nights. Accessible downstairs ticks all the boxes, but steep stairs to twin room (was used by child), so not a problem. Very soft mattress in main bedroom - ok for one person sleeping in it, but not great with two…both found we soon began aching, so my husband ended up in a twin bed upstairs! Bring larger towels, if like us, you prefer bath sheets. But it has plenty of hand and bath towels if not. Kitchen has everything you need, but we ended up buying a pan on our travels…but that’s because the gourmet chef in my husband comes out and he’s fussy! We struggled with space for food because it’s so well-equipped! First cottage we’ve booked through Sykes (and there’s been many!) where you’ve plenty of toilet rolls for the two weeks (the ones with puppies…decent quality too), and plenty of cleaning products. We brought our own, but they provide everything you need for laundry, dishes and general upkeep. The water pressure is weak - we learned not to use the shower early evening/ late afternoon. You can work round it. Neighbour is a great source of information and incredibly friendly - he knows the island like his back garden. Best welcome basket we’ve ever had - with treats for grown-ups, children and dog alike…thank you! Helen, the owner, touched base by text on arrival. She offered advice and responded immediately to questions. This was our first visit to Anglesey as adults, and we couldn’t have spend a happier fortnight anywhere else!

  Are you looking for a cosy well eqipped cottage, home from home and close to Treddur Bay?

  Then this is it!! The host was so helpful, making email contact prior to arrival, giving us property instructions and a few local highlights, a really nice personal touch. Any questions asked in email were responded to really quickly. On arrival down a quiet private road the property has a large gated driveway which easily accommodated two cars. The living area is slightly elevated so you benefit from amazing views. We really enjoyed sitting on the decking area and watching the sunset with a drink each night. This isn't a brand new property and loved its character and features as it makes it feel so homely, we instantly settled in. The living room has loads of seating space and is a really cosy in evenings with the open fire roaring and the sun setting through the window. The kitchen is really well laid out and has loads of equipment, it made it really easy to cater for the 7 of us. The bedrooms are all a really good size and well laid out. The children's room has a large double bed and single above and small TV. Treddur Bay is one of our favorite places to visit, so relaxed with exceptional views, a nice promenade and lots of places to stop for a drink and food whilst watching the world pass by. This property is only a 10 minute walk along a well lit road with good pavements. We had an excellent family stay at this property and made many great memories. We will sure be looking to return to Windy Ridge soon!!

  I wanted to take the family for a mid-summer week’s break to Anglesey to show them the places that I liked – Trearddur Bay, South Stack, Newborough Forest so I needed a location/place that fitted, and Capel Hermon (CH) did the job perfectly.

  Arrival (and departure) was easy. Tesco shop arrived, got more provisions from Anglesey Fine Foods in Valley (very nearby) and we were ready to relax. CH is spacious and comfortable for 4 adults, 2 little fellas, aged 5 years and 9 months, plus a dog that loved walks. The living area was fantastic, especially when we had 2 adult visitors and for the littlest to practice his crawling. The dining room table allowed us all to sit comfortably. Son in law managed to find time to read 2 books from the many in “CH’s library”. This was a bonus because the weather wasn’t brilliant, and we could do lots indoors. All the beds in the 3 bedrooms were comfortable and sleeping was easy. Found more places at Rhosneigr and Tywyn Mawr – Sandy Beach – excellent for dog walking. (Enclosed garden was also secure to let the dog out). A lovely holiday. Hope you like the gnome we left behind as a huge thank you!

  Enjoyed our stay at Ty Haf.

  Property is generally well equipped although the can opener could do with being upgraded. Snug sun room is a positive feature - despite the low sofa being a challenge to get up from if you have hip or knee mobility issues - compact back patio is a welcome sun trap. Bathroom has been modernised and provides the the option of both an efficient walk-in shower or bath with shower head available. Especially useful if you have children! Furniture is dated & living room dark but as we didn’t spend any time in it not a major issue for us. Visitors information needs updating as some of the recommended eating venues are no longer trading but generally helpful in providing trip options. Felt at home here & well worth considering staying here for families/ friends with or without children and dogs. If you have mobility issues it is a relatively steep hill to the beach and amenities.

  Dirty kitchen which we just dealt with as didn’t want to seem petty.

  Left the house as we found it. A week later Sykes/owners alleged we had left stains on the carpet which was untrue. Sykes notified us and immediately deducted money from our bank account despite us disputing the allegation and raising an issue as to the delay. I felt double aggrieved due to the dirty kitchen but when I raised that they said I didn’t raise it at the time. The same rules clearly don’t apply to owners. They took no action about the dirty kitchen and simply ignored my messages. I waited before posting this as I wanted to give them a chance to respond but they clearly don’t intend to. Very poor service. Shame as the property is in a wonderful location. Wouldn’t use or recommend again.
