Venture inland for plenty of rolling countryside to walk through, as well as the scenic Llyn Alaw, which makes for a delightful waterside ramble. The idyllic Newborough Beach is on the western side of the island, backed by an enchanting forest with mountain biking trails, along with Rhosneigr being a great surfing spot. With more to enjoy on the the island, as well as, on the mainland, there's so much to see and do from Bryn Llifon on Anglesey.

The property was in a great location with fabulous views though. 1. On arrival fridge door bottom shelf hanging off, so had to be removed. Had to store milk in the salad container of the fridge which meant the fridge was very full. 2. Broken kitchen table leg. This gas been reported before. 3. Only 6 deserts spoons when there were 8 of us. Could do with doubling up on cutlery with having the dishwasher. 4. Brambles growing through and around decking which was dangerous to small children. Unable to use the BBQ because the foliage was overgrown around it. 5. Teapot for 2 people. 6. There were only 2 of the pint glasses. 7. One broken flute glass found in cupboard on arrival. 8. Chipped mugs. 9. Fan not working in shower room. 10. Bins almost full on arrival at property. No details in property information regarding bin day. Mentioned a red bin, but no red bin at property. Property information in the kitchen could possibly need updating. 11. The TV controls in lounge were temperamental, due to the batteries running out. No spare batteries provided.

This was our first trip to Anglesey as a young family and we would highly recommend it as a location for a varied holiday â loads to do with great beaches and plenty of places to visit both on the island and the mainland. Weâve stayed in lots of holiday lets previously and our impression was, at this price point, the place could do with some improvements and general maintenance. Generally, the kitchen is a bit tired and needs some better kit. Garden very overgrown and needs some TLC. Lots of chipped mugs etc. These are pretty minor quibbles but the two main issues we werenât happy with were around rubbish and responsiveness to previous feedback from guests. Rubbish. When we arrived, all 4 wheelie bins were full of rubbish already. Instructions in the property said to use a red bin, however there wasnât one. We rang the agency who said they would check and get back to us about what to do â they didnât call us back. The upshot was all the previous guests rubbish (plus ours) was still at the priority after we left after 11 nights. We had to take some of our rubbish elsewhere ourselves. What was most disappointing was this same issue had been raised by a previous guest â it was noted in the guest book and a previous review. Responsiveness to feedback. We found that the large, heavy main dining room table had a broken leg. A former guest had noted this about a year ago, so it seems that nothing had been done to repair. We thought that was disappointing and wondered whether they had not read the feedback, or read it but not done anything about it. Will definitely be back to Anglesey but wouldnât stay here again unless some improvements were made to the property and would hope for better responsive to issues/queries.

Living room and bedrooms all good . Kitchen definitely in need of TLC , sink area smells very damp. Worktops need replacing or re-covering, cupboards need replacing or a new coat of paint. Freezer difficult to open the drawers. Bathroom needs hooks or somewhere to put belongings when going for a shower, plus toilet roll holders in both bathrooms. Games room didn't look like it had been cleaned properly for a while, there was a lot of sweet wrappers stuffed down the side of one of the cushions and a very sticky sweet stuck to the cushion, it was very dusty in that room. Outside needs some garden chairs for on the patio area outside the back door. When we arrived there were black rubbish bags piled on the bins. In the handbook it says there is a red bin and all rubbish goes in there. There was no red bin ! I rang the letting office about the rubbish situation and the lady said she'd find out about it and ring me back. She didn't! The black bags were constantly being ripped open by magpies and seagulls, not a good look when you turn onto the drive, we were constantly picking it up, but had nowhere to dispose of our rubbish, or the rubbish already there. In saying all this, still loved our stay there, didn't have the best weather but still really enjoyed it!
