The cottage was very nice , views where lovley had a nice time. Unfortunately while we where there storm Catherine hit us. Facilities where ok some things need attention 1, Towels where far to small for a adult let alone a child far to small.
2, Knives and forks need replacing when using them the handles dig into your hands
3, Bunk bed mattress need replacing can feel the springs when trying to sleep on it.
4, Need to speak to whom ever does the cleaning as there was dog hairs on floors in conservatory and dog nose marks on conservatory doors .
5, Bed linen needs replacing as bobbley and ruff on skin.

DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED
That the owner had offered (and promised in WhatsApp message to me) that he would provide a dog crate for our puppy. Upon arrival we discovered no dog crate had been provided and had to start our holiday getting one.
NEGATIVES
1)The knives and potato peeler were blunt. Need sharpening or replacing.
2) Bigger saucepans needed.
3) No egg cups to eat boiled eggs out of.
4) The write up says the garage could be used to store bikes in etc and that deck chairs could be borrowed for the beach. The garage was locked and no key. This is false advertising.
5) Grass was extremely long and unkept. A bit longer than a few days of rain.
6) All doors and windows stiff.
7) Ground light outside left broken on the ground - we took it inside so nobody could hurt themselves on it. Could have cut a dogs paw or hurt a child as sharp.
8) Bulb out in family bathroom.
9) Drawer stuck in family bathroom.
10) Wardrobe needed in double bedroom.
11) Dishwasher door needs adjusting.
12) Blind at window needed in en-suite bathroom.
13) Loo roll holders needed in both bathrooms.
14) No information leaflets on places to go and see.
POSITIVES
1) Beds comfortable.
2) Sofas, Conservatory Furniture and kitchen chairs comfortable. Decent table.
3) Bungalow extremely clean, modern and welcoming and good lighting.
4) Welcome pack a nice gesture.
5) Nice big drive.
6) Lovely sea view.
7) A good base to stay to enjoy the beautiful island.
OVERALL
The owner does need to address the above negatives and not break promises when he offers to provide something needed. Such a lovely property spoilt by things that could be put right so very easily.

Whilst the bungalow is excellent we took our aged parents.. As they need a walk in shower and the toilet regularly we let them have the ensuite bedroom. Unfortunately the bed in there is extremely low as is the toilet and it was a struggle for them. Everything else was excellent

The cottage was perfect and like a home from home! The owner had it kitted out for every eventuality! It was the best one we have ever stayed at. It was also in the best place with everything within walking distance and the sea view was great! It was very quiet and peaceful with just the sound of the gulls! I can’t recommend it highly enough! Just perfect!

Lovely bungalow in a quiet cul de sac, just minutes from the town centre with pubs & local shops.. Enclosed garden perfect for our dogs, good patio area with chimnea provided too (although weather wasn't quite warm enough to sit out). Well equipped and very clean on arrival - received a phone call en route to tell me it was all ready before the arranged time of 3pm which was great. Great views of the headland from the bungalow, and straight on to Anglesey coastal path within minutes, for walks galore. Really enjoyed our stay. Only negatives would be the king size bed not very comfortable, extra pillows would be useful, as would bedside cabinets in the king size room. Water pressure in the en-suite shower could be better, too There were also a few light bulbs out or missing here and there throughout the bungalow, but nothing spoilt our stay, and we'd definitely return.

This is a very comfortable and spotlessly clean bungalow with lots of parking and a garden which is escape proof for an average sized dog.. The views out to sea are a real bonus and the area is extremely quiet with some easy walks nearby. There were only two ladies (and two dogs) in our party but we felt that if all 3 bedrooms were used the wardrobe space was very limited. There is nowhere to hang clothes in the second bedroom and so the children's bunk bedroom was used by us for this purpose. If this had been occupied, problems of access to clothes would have been created. We would also have welcomed some simple instructions about Hive controls and heated towel rails (we had to ring the owner) and about televisions. Not everyone has Sky and being of the older generation we were slightly out of our depth when trying to use two of the four TVs. There was also no information about what to do and see on Anglesey which was a shame for anyone not familiar with the island, as we were. These points are, however, minor grumbles and we had a very good holiday in a lovely part of the world and would certainly recommend Llecyn Braf.

This is my second visit to this holiday cottage and as before everyting was exellent.. If you enjoy walking or have a dog that needs walking this is the perfect place The enclosed garden is good for letting your pet wander and not having to worry about them straying. There are many local walks dependant on your fitness levels so this makes a great base to start from.There are sea views from the cottage which is a great bonus, so take binoculars and watch the boats and ships pass. I've booked again for 2020, need I say more.

Nice property.. There were a couple of issues but these were dealt with by my contacting Sykes who contacted owner who promptly sent a maintenance man out. A new shower head was fitted at my request in the ensuite which did improve the situation slightly, but really it could do with a completely new shower...I found I was cold when showering as it is not powerful enough.

The only point word be for the kitchen if cooking for six it would be lacking in pans.. There was already one size missing. Storage for groceries was also very tight.

We have just returned from our family week away, grandparents, parents, 2 children and our family dog.. The accommodation was perfect for us, very spacious and clean with every facility that we could need for the duration of our break. Every member of the family loved it! Coastal walks, meals out, trips to beaches. Perfect! We would highly recommend it.

This cottage was disappointing, we were unable to use the en suite shower due to the water only being a small trickle, we all used the main bathroom which defeated the object of choosing a cottage with 2 bathrooms.. This has been mentioned several times in the visitor book but doesn’t seem to have been acted on. There was not much information about the locality, unusual in our experience, and the cottage was looking tired and worn in some areas, I would recommend you take your own towels, those provided were small and thin, the tea towels didn’t dry well either. Sorry to make these complaints but this was not as good as we were expecting having read previous reviews.
However the situation of the cottage is very good with terrific views and the conservatory was a lovely place to sit and relax.
Anglesey was beautiful and the weather was very good, we enjoyed our holiday overall and would consider another visit, perhaps to a different part of the island, one day.

The bungalow was beautiful and the views are spectacular, so if you go for a sea view like us, then this is perfect! The weather was windy but dry and sunny all week. The town is a little quiet but lots to do if you travel out. The coastal walks so close by were brilliant too. The cottage itself had everything we needed, it was clean and very comfy. We will look to book again next year!
Mrs Sinfield

Comfortable and very spacious bungalow.. Beautiful sea views and quietly located in a residential cul de sac. It had everything we needed for a group of four, which included a senior couple with various mobility and sensory impairments.
The secure garden was perfect for our two small dogs.
Owner was helpful, easily contactable, and responded promptly to maintenance issues.

My husband and I had a lovely relaxing holiday at Llecyn Braf.. The house was spotlessly clean and well furnished. It was very dog friendly with a fully enclosed garden and lovely coastal walks a few minutes from the front door.
We would definitely like to come back to this lovely area and house .
