Anchor Cottage

What a lovely find, and in a welcoming village too. The cottage is so well turned out and equipped, warm (in a cold windy March week!), and - like the Tardis - bigger on the inside than it might appear! The guest-file is really helpful and broad-ranging - use it. It's a great base to explore Anglesey from, with interesting walks from the front door and further afield (don't miss the Parys/Copper Mountain trail, for example.) If you're not cooking in, the nearby, friendly Stag pub does food - check the seasonal times, and as we arrived later on a Sunday evening, they pointed us back to the (superb) Chippy (shuts at 8pm) and let us bring it back in and eat our fish supper with a pint and more that night! So, say hello, enjoy the company! The Clothes shop/Laundrette owner is fascinating, go buy a local woolly hat and have a chat about where else to explore. And, the cream on the cake is...free parking just round the corner! How often have you booked elsewhere, checked for the parking, and arrived to discover it's neither convenient nor free nor even reasonable? Here, off-season at least, it's free. It all adds up to a really nice home to stay in with a proper feelgood feel. And don't forget to book the Menai RibRide tour with Charles - another unmissable highlight!

Nothing to either dislike or even pick at!

It was spotlessly clean. The milk and Bara Brith was very a welcome touch.

Extra pillows on the beds would have been nice.

Location great, lovely village, House was spotlessly clean, weather perfect and we took full advantage of the sunny garden and chairs provided. Breakfasted outside every day. TV perfect picture quality.

House is advertised as 2 bathrooms whereas it has only 1 shower room and a downstairs toilet. No frying pan (just a crépe pan which is warped and didn't heat up well (had to go to Tesco and buy a frying pan) Non-stick pans worn out and coating almost non-existent so not safe to use, so couldn't use them. Kettle seems old and everything (coffee, Tea, etc. tasted very odd. (using bottled water as we do at home). So, main point is a lot of the kitchen equipment (Pans, Kettle, Cutlery, Utensils) is worn out, tired and needs replacing. Many of the home owners recommendations in the book out of date. We do have our own Holiday Cottage so we are aware how important these things are.

Absolutely beautiful cottage. This was a very last minute booking due to another booking being cancelled. Can't fault the quick service and so glad we chose Anchor Cottage. Everything was perfect, very comfortable Everything we needed. Weather not great so didn't use the rear garden facilities. Short walk from the free carpark. Dog friendly and only a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Would definitely stay again.

Only a minor point but could do with a stair gate on the stairs to stop your dog from wandering upstairs but we improvised and used the airer across the bottom. Other than that the cottage is faultless.
