Guests say

Ty Woods Cottage in Holyhead, Anglesey, is praised for its stunning location with superb views and proximity to the beach and local pub. Guests appreciate the wildlife, peacefulness, and the well-equipped kitchen. While some find the cottage comfortable and welcoming, others suggest it could benefit from refurbishment and a more thorough clean.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Several guests reported issues with cleanliness, including cobwebs, dust, and unpleasant odours. Some felt the cleaning did not reflect the time that should have been spent, suggesting long-term neglect. However, a few found the property clean, indicating inconsistency in cleaning standards.

The cottage's location is highly praised for its beautiful views, proximity to the beach, and a local pub. The peaceful setting and the opportunity to observe wildlife add to the appeal, making the location one of the property's strongest points.

Opinions on comfort are mixed. Some guests found the cottage comfortable and cosy, while others reported issues with uncomfortable and outdated sofas and beds. The property's suitability for guests with limited mobility was also a concern.

The cottage is well-equipped with a kitchen that includes a dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. However, guests noted some maintenance issues such as loose sockets, windows needing repair, and a lack of clarity on rubbish disposal. The presence of a wood burner and central heating is appreciated, but some guests experienced difficulties with operation.

While some guests mentioned the lack of a welcome pack and basic provisions such as hand soap, there is not enough information to determine if gifts are typically provided or expected. Therefore, a score cannot be given for thoughtfulness, and guests should not anticipate gifts upon arrival.

About this property

This lovely, single-storey detached cottage is situated opposite the owners' home, in the scattered village of Rhoscolyn, on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey. Ideal for families or friends, this cottage is superbly located for access to the beach and coastline, which is just a two minute walk from the cottage, and even closer to the popular country inn visited by guests from miles around. As you step into the hall you will immediately feel relaxed by your surroundings, with a door leading through to the fitted kitchen in front of you, which will provide you with all the requirements needed for a family holiday. A welcoming sitting room offers views across grassland to the beach and beyond, and comfy sofas with a warming woodburner adds further character and atmosphere to the room, and will have you kicking off your shoes and warming your toes in front of the stove after a paddle in the sea. A small step from the hall takes you down into the dining room, where you can sit and relax with home-cooked food and a fine bottle of wine, enjoying good company long into the evening. Two bedrooms lead off the dining room, a twin bedded room and a master double room with en-suite toilet and sliding glass doors leading onto a small patio and decking area, which is slightly elevated to make the best of the views to the sea, and affords an ideal spot to enjoy a refreshing drink whilst watching the sun go down at the end the day, or dine alfresco using the barbecue. Rhoscolyn beach is sandy and safe, located in a sheltered shallow bay, ideal for small dinghies and canoes, and will offer hours of enjoyment for children, crabbing or snorkelling around the rocky cliffs. Alternatively, perhaps a stroll along the headland is more your thing, in which case you will be delighted to discover the 125 miles of Anglesey Coastal Path which runs past the beach. Ty Woods Cottage is in an excellent location for a memorable seaside holiday, whatever the time of year.

Located on Holy Island, three miles from Trearddur Bay, Rhoscolyn is a small village with a church and primary school and is the most southerly place on Holy Island. Rhoscolyn also offers an excellent pub on the lane down to the beach, which is renowned for its gastro food, and the beach itself with its slipway, ideal for small dinghies and power boats, is a popular family destination throughout the summer owing to the sheltered cove and gently sloping sands. Also excellent cliff-top walks can be enjoyed and an abundance of wildlife can be seen, often including seals on the headland.

    The bungalow is very comfortable to stay in and the facilities are great. The location makes the holiday, being close to the beach and shops and is within easy reach to supermarkets. I will continue to visit ty woods for as long as it is available. I would certainly recommend it as a great holiday destination.
