Ty Gwennol Reviews

Caroline
A Really beautiful, comfortable cottage. We found it an Ideal location to explore the stunning coastline and holyhead. Located in the Peaceful countryside, the owners are lovely and even left goodies for when we arrived. The beds are probably the most comfortable weve slept in, while staying in a holiday cottage, and weve stayed in many,many cottages. 1010 We loved sitting out in the beautiful garden and the hot tub was a perfect end to our days out exploring. Weve left well rested and loved every minute in this beautiful part of Anglesey.
Lianne
We had a lovely week here. The cottage was perfect for us, and had everything we needed. If only the weather had been a bit better. The woodfire kept us warm on chilly days when we returned after our trips out. The owners were so friendly and often around if we needed them. The enclosed garden was great for our dog.Sadly the weather put us off using the hot tub, but it looked good!! Lianne and Nick, Jane and Gary, and Fudge.

Lovely cottage, enjoyed our stay. friendly owners on hand if there was a problem or needed anything. Lots of space, kitchen had everything you needed. Beds really comfortable and spacious. Hot tub was great and used even though the weather was not good. The dogs loved running around the garden which was safely secure. Thank you both for letting us share your cottage with us.

Lovely property, very private. Extremely pleasant hosts. I would suggest that more 'oven to table' dishware be provided and a better selection of glassware and side plates.
The house was beautiful and had everything we needed to use as a base to explore Anglesey.

It can be difficult to find a property for a UK holiday. Typically there will be always something wrong with it. Ty Gwennol is as close to perfection as you could possibly get Run by Martin and Elaine, they had it super clean when we arrived. They were both delightful and attentive to our needs without being overwhelming or in your face. The 3 bedrooms are all comfy and loverly. Reasonably dark at night for those people that struggle to sleep with light. Each room also had a touch that doubled as a night light which was a loverly touch if you needed it. The beds were super clean and comfy. Plenty of storage with hangers provided. The kitchen is very well stocked. So if your bringing lots of food like we did you won't feel underequipped. Great size table. Decent sized fridge freezer. There was also a fantastically little coffee maker provided. Living room was so cosy and very comfy. Great tv with a good variety of channels. Including Netflix, amazon, Disney etc. Plenty of atmospheric lights in the living room. A loverly Woodburner. We ran out of all the stuff and martin refilled it when we asked with no issues. Easy access to the hot tub which is placed very well for stargazing. Well maintained and cleaned throughout stay. Although we never saw them clean it as they did it while we were out on adventures. It's a loverly peice of land with a dog safe rear garden. Martin and Elaine do have dogs which were loverly to cudle but did not like my dog. So when out the front best keep pets on the lead. The location is loverly. Your on a loverly peice of land tucked away. There are some beautiful horses. If you like to run we ran along the land and along the roads. Just go left out the property or it all hill hahah. It's a heavenly and peaceful place. You are only 20 mins from Hollyhead and Trearddur Bay which have almost the shops you could need. Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Aldi, B&M etc. There are some amazing costal walks you can take. Anglesey is beautiful. I used the Altrails app to find the. However, Martin and Elaine know the area well and directed us to several walks but also beaches that were essentially ours as no one seemed to know about them. In terms of walks I recommend the trearddur circuit north west coastline of Trearddur Bay. It's starts a a beautiful beach cove and then go's along the cost. Only short 90 mins but you can make it a lot longer. There were some loverly little suprise touches in the cottage throughout but I won't spoil them. It's rare for a place to be so perfect but it is. If you decide to stay here. The season won't matter. You will be at peace.
Adrian
The main things missing for us was a tv in at lease one of the bedroom. It isnt really ideal to all have to watch the same tv. Also a light that lights up the garden.
Deborah
Lovely property, very private and everything thought of to make stay very comfortable. Super dog friendly. Owners are lovely and dog & horse lovers themselves. Garden has a high but discrete fence around so super safe for the dogs. Lots of beaches close by and also dog friendly. Martin owner was very helpful with local information. Prosecco and chocolates were much appreciated.
Jessica
We had a lovely week at Ty Gwennol. Martin was a great host and was available to help us when we needed advice. Everything was as described on the website, if not better. The kitchen is well equipped and it was perfect for our multigenerational group! The hottub was a great feature and the gardens were particularly wellmaintained and beautiful. We found the location perfect as a base for exploring Anglesey. There were beautiful beaches and lots of good eating options nearby. Highly recommended!
Me and my family had a fantastic time staying here from the lovely welcome We received from the hosts and the welcome pack was a lovely thought. The garden was lovely although the pictures need updating on the Website as it gives the impression of use of all of the garden where as the Garden is now fenced off into sections.Besides the cottage was immaculate and the beds are really comfortable and the view from the top of the lane are beautiful .wouldnt hesitate to return to this beautiful cottage.stayed June 2024 thank you Elaine and Martin for your hospitality x
Raymond
From the moment we arrived we knew this cottage was special. Better even than its description, the cottage has been beautifully fitted out and maintained by Elaine and Martin, Inside and out everything was prepared to a high standard. The hot tub was a joy! Our dogs were immediately at home and unlike some owners who claim gardens are secure, the large garden was both beautiful and totally safe. Owners live on site. This was never intrusive. They were always approachable, friendly and helpful. This is a site and location that we would happily give 6 stars out of 5, if that was possible. We will be back!
Beulah Joann
Everything you could want , including the nicest most helpful owners of anywhere I have stayed, kindness oozes from them, they made my holiday better for being around !
We had a fabulous stay in this beautiful comfortable rural cottage. Loads of space and different sitting areas. The hot tub is massive and was well used. Elaine and Martin were the perfect hosts, very friendly and accommodating. It was lovely to hear non stop bird song and nothing else. Enjoyed walks on the nearby sandy beach. Has a wonderful holiday and hoping to be back next year highly recommended.
Katherine
Great cottage comfortable, warm, and had everything we needed. Its lovely being so peaceful and hearing only the birds. Hot tub is fantastic and the outside space lovely and dog friendly. Owners are really helpful and on hand. Our second time there so would highly recommend.
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful spacious property. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated and equipped with everything you need the owners's care and diligence is evident . The location is extremely peaceful and the garden is secure which was great for us being able to enjoy the hot tub, while Louis our Boxer dog enjoyed himself. Rhosneigr and Sandy Bay are not far away, which are fabulous to experience. Thank you Elaine & Martin, Emma, Sean, Alba & Louis .
Elaine and Martin are lovely couple, one hand when we arrived just to show us how the heating worked and a lovely fire burning in the sitting room, the welcome pack was a really nice thing too,chocolate, wine and flowers. The cottage itself was nice ,it's on a small holding with the owners house next to it and horses
Jennie Nicolle
We have just spent Christmas at Ty Gwennol, Elaine and Martin are the perfect hosts, friendly and welcoming. They are on hand if you need them, but not intrusive in the slightest, will do anything they can to make sure you have the best stay, its the little touches that add to the experience fire lit on arrival, basket of goodies and supplies in the kitchen. The cottage is beautiful and kept to a very high standard, its spotless. I would highly recommend staying here. The welcome pack, log fire and hot tub were great. We had a fantastic time and would definitely book again. Thankyou Elaine and Martin.
Lovely stay in the cottage which is in a very quiet location. Thanks to the lovely owners for providing everything we needed.
What a wonderful cottage and the hosts Elaine and Martin must be thanked for making our stay so enjoyable. The welcome pack, log fire and hot tub were great for our mid October stay.
Corinne
Beautiful property in tranquil surroundings. We were made very welcome by our lovely hosts. We had a fantastic time. Thank you.
Great place to stay a lovely farmhouse very clean. Fantastic garden to relax in under the gazebo highly reccomend
Thank you Martin and Elaine. Both myself and the boys had a lovely time staying at your property. Everything was perfect. Thanks.
Ty Gwennol provided a fabulous base for us to explore Anglesey with its dramatic coastline and beautiful bays. It was peaceful and relaxing in its rural setting yet only a few minutes drive to the coast and local attractions. It was the perfect size for our multi generational family holiday with room to be apart and space to be together, both indoors and out. Martin & Elaine were the perfect hosts and we particularly appreciated their local knowledge and willingness to help when we had a car problem. We hope to return to this lovely cottage and to explore more of this beautiful area
Victoria
The cottage was perfect and we loved the hot tub where we enjoyed the beautiful views. WiFi was excellent very important if staying with teenagers!. We loved exploring Anglesey and Snowdonia. The owners were on hand but not obtrusive in any way. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing break.
We had a lovely stay at Ty Gwennol. The cottage was beautifully presented and Elaine and Martin such generous and considerate hosts.
Christopher
The property was fantastic, a gem tucked away in the countryside of Anglesey. Very clean and tidy no issues. Everywhere was spotless. The garden is enclosed so our dogs could roam free with no problem. The hot tub is amazing, we used it everyday. All facilities were first class. Thank you very much we will be back again.
Stephenie
Ty Gwennol is in a beautiful rural location which is very peaceful. Elaine and Martin, the owners, are on hand if there are any problems and are very friendly and informative of the area. The garden is one of the best secure dog friendly ones we have come across, not even our escaping springer spaniel could find a way out. The property itself is comfortable but the kitchen needs extra lighting as it is quite dark and extra cupboard space would be useful. The beds are very comfortable making for a good nights sleep. I would recommend Ty Gwennol to family and friends.
We had a fabulous stay at Ty Gwennol. Beautiful, spacious and well equipped cottage with a lovely garden. The owners were very friendly and helpful. The only thing we found was that the listing of a nearby shop and pub was not accurate and you needed to drive to get anywhere. However it is a peaceful rural location and not far to drive to nearby beaches and towns. A really lovely stay, thank you Elaine and Martin.
This is the second time we have visited Ty Gwennol and if anything the standards are even higher than the first time we visited. Everything we were looking for was catered for! Elaine and Martin are amazing hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them so you can have an amazing holiday with the knowledge you are well looked after. We have two dogs and they just love the closed in garden, the hot tub is to die for! Thanks for a great holiday Lynn,John, Mandy Marley and Dylan Dog.
