  It was very disappointing to find the cottage not as clean as it should have been upon arrival.

  I would have dealt with some of the minor things myself, ie dirty dishwasher filter in need of a rinse and wheel from basket runner left loose inside the basket, congealed food inside the fitted kitchen bin, food crumbs in the cutlery drawer and biscuit barrel, cupboard shelves in need of a wipe, etc had there been any cleaning products available to use, but there was not even so much as a j cloth or disposable sponge left for guests use. We immediate went out to purchase some antibac spray and cloths but on returning and then noticing the state of the downstairs toilet, it was a step too far. Seat and lid left up showing dried stains around the top, and dirty used bowl. This was when we contacted you. Your cleaner arrived after our phone conversation to deal with these matters and said she wasnt allowed to leave any cleaning products for guests use. This seems very strange as we holiday in dog friendly cottages two or three times a year, and there has always been something left to freshen the cottage ourselves during the week. The cleaner has now left a bottle of bleach and some j-cloths. I appreciate cleaners only have a limited amount of time between bookings but some things do require more attention from time to time. I.e. the black mould around the conservatory windows and bedroom balcony doors, bird muck on the inside of the bedroom window. Also the fan in the bathroom does not work, and there is a leak under the bathroom sink which has a small containor to catch the drips. The dustpan and brush need replacing as the flexible edge of the dustpan is missing so and dirt gets swept under the gap instead of into the pan. Also the broom doesn't sweep the hard floors very well. Currently the garden needs some attention, it is quite overgrown and does not look like the picturers on the website. It would be useful for the listing to state that some of the garden has a wall height of around 1m, which for many dogs is very easy to jump over. The cottage itself is lovely, in a perfect position so it seems a shame to spoil the experience over things that could be easily rectified.

  This is our second stay at The Nook the only property we have stayed in that we have ever returned to.

  The property is spacious and airy with beautiful views. It is ideally situated for everything you need gorgeous beach, several places to eat, friendly pub and supermarket all within very easy reach. I have to say the bed is probably the comfiest bed I have ever slept in - personal taste I know but worth mentioning. During our stay the weather was not too kind to us and we had a couple of wet days which cannot be helped but we had another lovely stay and have already discussed returning! I would say that the property would greatly benefit from a smart tv in the lounge. I know a lot of people don’t watch tv on holiday but we have an older dog who just wanted to sleep after a day out so we did not venture out too much in the evenings. I ended up watching tv on my iPad. We had some very heavy rain and wind during our stay and noticed some damp walls on the kitchen and by the bay window in the lounge. This did not affect our stay just an observation as we saw some work had been done to sort out the flaky paint in both the kitchen and utility room. Overall I would highly recommend The Nook in a heartbeat to anyone considering a stay in Anglesey. The addition of the decking is great and just adds to the amazing views - just a shame the weather did not give us the opportunity to take full advantage of using it!

  Only real problem was the washing machine wasn't working.

  One of my dogs had vomited on a throw on the way there and I really needed to wash it.Because the washing machine was not working it ultimately meant we had to take it home a week later to clean it, by which time it was growing its own life form. We bought fuses and changed the one in the plug but there was no 'thank you for trying' from the owners. I was disappointed with this, it tainted my whole view of the property and the attitude of the owners. Other than this, everything was good. The garden is very very well enclosed with high fences all around. I always worry one of my dogs will get out (she's a ninja) but it is very secure. I'd have liked it if I could have closed the internal doors properly, to stop dogs going in to rooms we weren't using, but most of them would only push to and there was no catch to close them. I didn't want my dogs to go in and lie on the beds, purely because i didn't want to create more work/laundry for the owners. How fabulous to have a Nespresso machine! In fact the amount of cooking gadgets provided was wonderful.I Overall we really enjoyed our stay we would return, and would recommend to others.

  We have had a great week.

  The location is wonderful and we can see why the owners love this place so much. It was also really easy with our dogs and four teenagers (although the bunk beds really are more suited to small children). The bedrooms are very small but cosy. The doors are also very low which meant the two tallest family members knocked their heads on the frames quite a lot! The kitchen is well equipped - the only thing we really missed on the first morning was a way to make decent coffee so we bought a cafetière which we have left in the cupboard. There is also a slight problem with the guttering above the conservatory roof that was dripping all day & night, on the day it rained, just outside the bedroom window and was loud in the conservatory. We hired kayaks and paddleboards for the week which were delivered to the house and well used by our teens. Wonderful to be able to walk down to the beach every morning and evening and spot wildlife whilst the kids were on the water. The house certainly grew on us as we were there, we have enjoyed spending quality time as a family and would recommend it as a fantastic base for anyone to explore from.

  Fabulous property in perfect location for all amenities and the beach.

  Deceptively spacious and very well equipped. Garden very secure for our two dogs and although is in the centre of the town it is in a quiet little cul-de-sac of only 4 properties so no vehicle/foot traffic and is not overlooked. Bedrooms are large and with comfortable beds. Apart from cozy lounge there is a large dining room and a second snug, neither of which we used since we ate in the kitchen diner. The beach, is only a seven minute walk down the hill but you need to keep an eye on the tide times to get maximum benefit of the expansive sands. The beach is really sheltered from the wind and is a social dog walkers paradise with numerous other like minded and friendly owners. Although the beach access is slightly restricted for dogs in the busy months, it only applies to a small section of the beach. The Benllech pub is a welcome lunch stop on the way back from the beach offering a good and varied menu. Overall we had a superbly relaxing week and will definitely return to this property again.
