Cottages That Sleep 12 in the UK

What our customers say about their holidays

  My main gripe is that the property was advertised as sleeping 14 but only had beds for 13.

  Consequently one of our party had to sleep on a sofa for the whole week. This is a case of false advertising. The premises wasn't clean, cobwebs all over the stairs. The blinds throughout the house were broken or difficult to use. The kitchen had only 6 teaspoons. No egg cups. The frying pan supplied doesn't work on the induction hob. A bedroom door on the first floor wouldn't close. No wardrobe facilities throughout the house. In the 3 bedded room there was two sets of drawers. The front of every drawer pulled away from the drawer when trying to the open them. there was a stained and dirty bed throw in one of the bedrooms. There was no recycling facility available. All our rubbish had to go in the large bin outside the house. The wooden gates to the property are rotten and difficult to open or close. With young children in our party this was a safety issue as the drive opened out on to a main road. A house of this size should have a washing machine and a dryer. Using the same towels for a whole week without being able to wash or dry them is unhygenic.

  Overall the house and location is great, very comfortable with a great layout.

  We loved the space, views and comfortable furnishings. In our view the property is not as well maintained as it should be (windows don’t close well, bathroom shower is ok but needs a new head, external furniture needs replacing, just general items for example instructions are out of date - book vs internet eg exit time is either 10 or 11 (seems to have been moved from 11 to 10am). I informed of a breakage in advance by email however I received no response which seems unusual. The cleaning could be a bit better, but is provided by local contractors who might not be too bothered by the detail? The comments people leave seem to take a long time to fix or sort, eg the Xbox doesn’t work, which might seem trivial although some might rely on this as it is advertised. There are no clothes washing facilities or drying space/hangers etc. in our experience most properties of this size (near to a beach) have such facilities for the colder /wetter months. Nothing major but we would return if improved.

  Bryn y Don was the perfect accommodation for a multi-generational family gathering ranging from 3 to 76 years!

  The main house was spacious, sparkling clean and well appointed throughout. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and crockery, pans and utensils etc were of a high quality. We also rented the "cottage" which together with the main house gave us a sleeping capacity of 16. The two accommodations allowed us additional space and it was easy and safe for the younger members of the family to move between the two properties. The sea views from the kitchen of the main house and lounge were delightful. We had 5 cars in total and all the cars could park outside of the two properties. The hot tub was a great success by all members of the family as was football in the garden!! The Owners were most helpful and pleasant throughout our stay, but were not intrusive in any way. Suffice to say.......when we next have a family celebration or a Boris staycation is required......we would be delighted to book Bryn y Don again.

  We had a lovely weekend staying at this property with family.

  It is open plan and spacious. It has an enclosed outdoor space, comfy upstairs lounge, great views from upstairs living room and balcony. Space for 3 cars in driveway. The baby gates were useful to keep the dog downstairs. Dog friendly. Nice village. 5 min walk to beach. Fish and chip shop. A few pubs and small Morrisons a few minutes walk down the high st. 40 min drive from Bangor. The postcode for the property took us all to the wrong place. Clearer instructions would be helpful. The property is on the high street next to the dr surgery. Suggestions for small improvements More storage space for food in kitchen/ only one narrow cupboard empty, more storage space in bedrooms, bin in toilets, a small plate snd cup were chipped, I think some of the beds were 3/4 beds not doubles? Outdoor bin full on arrival. Couldn’t locate any recycling. The toilet door hit the light fitting ( double room with cot).

  We had a fantastic holiday staying at Bryn y Don, creating new memories and reliving old.

  The property has everything you need and caters perfectly for large families. Our group was a family of seven, over four generations, and a dog. The property gave us plenty of space and comfort to relax and unwind - our granddaughter especially loved the piano. The views are amazing watching the tides at Benllech bay . The garden is beautiful and a great size for our granddaughter and dog to run around and play. The hot tub was an added luxury to enjoy at the end of the day. There's plenty of instructions for using the hot tub and recycling etc. The owner lives close by and popped over to introduce herself and was so friendly and welcoming. The property is large but homely and we will definitely be booking again, we can't wait to return. We cannot recommend this property highly enough, a true home from home.
