  There are a number of issues at this property the most serious being the garden which does not comply with Health and Safety regulations and is not suitable for small children and or elderly/disabled people.

  There is an unprotected edge from the patio level to the garden level below and delaminated paving on the patio which is a trip hazard. The cooker is not fit for purpose as all the number settings are worn away and you are unable to see what temperature you are cooking on (the owner advised me that she was already aware of this) The furniture is very old and tired and there is a strong musty smell in the cottage and in particular in the wardrobes. The only good thing about this property is the view from the garden of Red Wharf Bay I contacted the owner of the property who agreed to refund her part of the booking fee but who now seems to have backtracked on her offer and does not return my messages she also asked me not to take to social media with any negative comments. Sykes have also refused to refund anything at all as they say that the photographs of the garden should have been enough for us to see the drop and felt that they did not need to put a disclaimer on their website. I have sent photographic evidence to Sykes of how dangerous the garden is but have heard nothing back. Clearly they do not care about the safety of their clients. We had to vacate the property after two hours and find alternative accommodation at our own expense with another holiday company (Boltholes & Hideaways, who were exceptionally helpful). We are now almost £1300 out of pocket. This is a warning to anyone thinking of booking this property to steer well clear of it if you have vulnerable/disable people in your party.

  We’ve just got home after lovely week in this beautiful cottage.

  The layout of the house is perfect, interesting and everyone had their own little space to just be and do what they wanted. Cosy and country style. Views kept us all glued to the back of the house and watching the tide come and go was very peaceful. No other people close by and very private. Rear garden all enclosed so dogs were free range and they spent lots of time out there surfing the breeze. Plenty seating around the cottage which was great. Both baths and showers have really good pressure. The kitchen is a mishmash of wooden drawers and cupboards which took us all week to get used to, it is so well equipped! The middle cupboard under the island had herbs salt pepper etc which we were grateful of. The fire was already made all ready to light and this was the best welcome gift ever! Sheets crisp and clean, beds comfortable and plenty room. Upstairs above the 2nd king bedroom is pretty steep to access, but our 8 yr old loved the rocking chair and desk, lots of space to herself and was happy just chilling up there. It’s all low low ceilings upstairs. I would recommend you take a plug in night light as she found it tricky to navigate her way down in the dark while needing a wee! Utility room has all you need. We fit a camper van and big car no problem on the drive, was easier to reverse on than attempt to reverse off. Ship Inn down the road has most delicious food - make sure you book. We would all like to return to Ty’n Cae and enjoy the peaceful cosy vibe of it again.

  The 'Hideaway' is a deligtful basemant flat in a perfect spot for accessing Benllech beach.

  We loved the attention to detail wrt making the accommodation a home from home; lots of 'knick knacks' and pictures etc. The quality of the furnishings is very good and the large store cupboard housing the fridge freezer is a huge bonus. The patio area is very pleasant and really opens up the flat, which can feel a bit enclosed due to it being in the basement (but that's just me perhaps). We didn't see much of the owners as they were away for most of our stay, but they were lovely to meet and had made sure that everything was spot on for our holiday. My only suggestion is that an extra chair in the seating area would have made for perfect comfort.....the two seater settee is fine, but my husband likes to spread out and so we felt a bit cramped with no other comfortable chair......there is plenty of room for a small tub chair or one like the ones on the patio. However, this is just a personal preference, and would not stop us from booking this lovely 'find ' again. Lots to do in the area and the beach is super; full of families and friendly dog walkers. There are pubs, shops and restaurants all within walking distance so what's not to like?

  `The Hideaway` at Benllech is a gorgeous & beautifully-arranged apartment for two.

  The well-equipped and comfortable accommodation is complemented by a neat little sun terrace, providing a super additional space in which to relax, read that book you`ve been wanting to finish, write postcards to family and friends to tell them how much you are enjoying being there etc; whilst also providing a perfect and partially-covered space in which to eat and drink outdoors. In the write up, `The Hideway` is said to be one minute from the sea, which would obviously vary from person to person. I can only say that (for me) it took a mere 210 ordinary footsteps to reach the sea front. The beach, which is backed by Limestone cliffs and intriguing rock formations, has gently sloping golden sand and plenty of rock pools to explore. The Wales Coast Path is even fewer steps from the apartment and there are plenty of good local facilities. What`s not to like?

  We really had a great time in your cottage.

  The location and views are great. The cottage itself was lovely and the equipment / utensils were appropriate. Some things to consider when renting to 6 adults or more are: Additional light in the living room by left hand corner so that it is bright to play cards etc in the evening. An additional comfy chair in the living room for all people to comfortably see the tv. The L shape does not lend itself to this. Someone needs to sit on a chair or the floor. Seat covers for all the hard chairs when seated for meals. There needs to be a proviso that the drive cannot take 3 large cars. This would cause a potential risk of accident as it would jut out on to the road. A great place to stay overall with a lovely walk down to the pub and bistro as well as low tide walks around both sides of the bay to Llanddona Beach and Benllech
