Guests say

Willoway is highly praised for its convenient location, cleanliness, and well-equipped facilities, including a sauna and sea views. The spacious garden and proximity to the beach make it ideal for families, with thoughtful touches from the owners adding to the experience. Some minor maintenance issues and the kitchen layout were noted, but did not detract from the overall enjoyment.

Guests consistently noted the property was 'spotlessly clean'. One minor mention of dust under a bed suggests room for improvement, but overall, the cleanliness is of a high standard.

The property's location is frequently highlighted as excellent, being close to the beach and local amenities, with sea views and a quiet setting that is perfect for exploring Anglesey.

The property is described as spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for guests to spread out. The presence of a sauna and multiple lounges indicates a high level of comfort.

Facilities are well-regarded, including a well-resourced kitchen and ample parking. Some minor repair needs were mentioned, suggesting most facilities are in good condition but could benefit from attention.

The owners' thoughtfulness is evident through welcome baskets and provisions for dogs, as well as the provision of information and quick responses to queries. While these gestures are appreciated, they may vary and are not guaranteed.

    Only a few hundred yards to the beach. The garden is lovely. The only slight downside is that the kitchen forms a sort of corridor between the two wings of the house, which can be problematic when cooking is taking place and people are passing through the kitchen. Care needs to be taken to avoid accidents. Benllech beach is lovely, with cafes, toilets and a large car park. The town has plenty of shops and eating places. We enjoyed our stay very much.

    It was in a great location with stunning views over Benllech beach. We really enjoyed our stay. The only negatives would be that the description said enclosed garden, but there was 3 access points to the garden with no gates including the front drive. This was a worry with 2 small children and dogs to worry about. On several occasions 1 of the dogs took chase after a hare, so we had to put them on leads to go in the garden. Also, on first arrival we pushed the twin beds together in the spare room and there was a lot of dust under the bed so I had to run the hover around. Apart from this we did have a lovely stay and we were overall very happy with the property.

    We were welcomed with a generous gift basket and fresh milk left by the owners, which is a kind thought, and we're now hooked on Welsh cakes! Benllech is a pleasant village with local shops and small choice of pubs and restaurants. The location is perfect as a base from which to explore Anglesey and North Wales. We were fortunate enough to enjoy great weather, so made the most of the large garden with outdoor seating areas. This meant that there was plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 kids to spread out into the garden, main lounge and second lounge. We did find the galley kitchen a little awkward for more than a couple of people at a time, but this wasn't a major problem. There were a few areas in need of minor repair or renovation in and around the property, but nothing that impacted our stay. And although we knew that the property allowed dogs before booking (we didn't have any with us), unfortunately there was an occasional whiff which needed regularly masking with air freshener. None of these issues impacted our stay and overall we thought the price was right, and the property was clean and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate booking again, and not only for the Welsh cakes!
