Y Gorlan Reviews

Had amazing stay. The cottage is beautiful, very clean with breathtaking views the photos really don't do it justice. Fabulous views from the hot tub. Very well stocked kitchen, Y Gotland has everything you need. Great location, short walk to Moelfre and a great base for exploring. Would recommend to friends and family and will be booking again for next year.
Our 4th stay at Y Gorlan, a beautiful home and relaxing holiday as usual. Its become our annual family holiday and well be back again next year. Dewi and Rhian keep a fabulous holiday home.
Andrew
We had a lovely stay at Y Gorlan, the property is modern, spacious, well kept and makes the most of the surrounding views. The pictures of the property looked good but the the property itself and views out of the kitchen and living room exceeded all expectations. Dewi & Rhian are really friendly hosts and got back to us really quickly on questions we had about the property, they also invited us meet one of their new lambs on the farm which was very exciting for our family. Beautiful place and would love to visit again in future.
Graham
Absolutely superb cottage brilliant hosts looking forward to our next visit

This was our second stay at Y Gorlan and it did not disappoint again. A beautiful place to stay in a lovely location that has everything you need provided by friendly people. Couldnt recommend it highly enough.
Perfect, second time we've stayed here can't wait to come back.
Rachael
A super week in a very well maintained property with fabulous views. It is super clean and comfortable and thoroughly met our expectations. We would definitely recommend this place to stay
This is am amazing property with everything you need in a holiday home. We have now stayed several times because it is so good, being clean, well thought out, and with wonderful views over the bay and easy walks around. The owners are a lovely couple, very helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for them and are easily contactable if needed.
A lovely cottage with fantastic views. Very comfortable and well equipped with everything one would need. It also makes a great base for touring Anglesey but we were quite happy not going anywhere other than down to Moelfre itself on a couple of days. We had been before an would be happy to re visit.
Stuart
WOW this property is ABSOLUTELY incredible with views to die for. It is immaculate inside and has a huge private patio where the fabulous hot tub proudly sits with views all out to sea and across to Snowdonia. Everything you could need for your stay has been thought of inside this property and it is all lovely quality. The bed that we used was very comfy and with good quality bedding the property also has plenty of storage. The bathroom is a great size with a massive shower which is great and the towels were lovely & fluffy. Good driveway from the road to the property and plenty of easy parking. We met the owners Dewi & Rhian who were both such wonderful friendly people and made you feel really welcome. We have stayed in several beautiful cottages each year for the last four years and this is the best one that we have ever stayed in. We will be returning here that's for sure! Just PERFECT ..... Thank you Julie & Stuart
Absolutely wonderful! We had the most incredible stay at this holiday cottage it truly exceeded all our expectations. The cottage itself is beautiful tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. It was so well equipped with everything we could possibly need which made it feel like a real home away from home. Every little detail had been thoughtfully considered. Truly one of the best places weve ever stayed we didnt want to leave and are already planning our return. Highly, highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful cottage! We had a lovely welcome pack waiting for us on our arrival. The cottage is modern and very comfortable with outstanding views of the sea and surrounding area.

Absolutely fantastic as ever so peaceful xxx Dewi and Rhian lovely hosts bask in July can't wait
An absolutely fabulous property close to the village of Moelfre. Everything was spotlessly clean and in good working order. The hot tub was great, even on a chilly February afternoon, and the views over the field to the sea were amazing. We loved watching the lambs running and jumping around the field. A lovely peaceful midweek break.

The property was lovely, amazing views from the cottage across the sea. The house was lovely and clean and had a well equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable. The house was very warm and cosy.
