We stayed at Tan-y-Cytiau Lodge this weekend and it greatly exceeded our expectations. It has a lovely homely feel and is spacious and well equipped. The views are spectacular from most of the rooms and there's plenty of space around the property to sit out or play games, including a deck overlooking the sea. Inside the sitting room is particularly comfortable and airy, as is the conservatory, and the kitchen and utility rooms are very well equipped - all these overlook the sea. The dining room has a good large table and more cozy feel. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms with sea views - one with a kingsize bed and the other with three singles, and a smaller double room at the back. The upstairs bathroom and downstairs shower room are modern and clean (but note that the bathroom doesn't have a shower or a shower tap on the bath). The location is within easy walking distance of the RSPB centre and South Stack lighthouse - the latter is well worth a visit but there are a LOT of steps (more than 1500 there and back according to the guide). Lots of other walks and serious climbing opportunities too it seems. There are several good beaches a short drive away and then of course the wider range of beaches and other attractions on Anglesey and over to Snowdonia. Finally a mention for Mojo's - an excellent small creperie in Rhosneigr. Well worth a visit - open at lunchtime or, for bookings only, in the evenings. All in all, Tan-y-Cytiau Lodge is an excellent property in an excellent location - highly recommended. |

The property is in a excellent location, quiet with far reaching views over the sea and the island with large private gardens. Directions and communications with the owners were friendly and accurate. On arrival everything was clean and well presented, everything you needed was provided with sufficient for the stay meaning you don't have to go out and buy essentials such as toilet rolls and washing up liquid on arrival as you so often have too in many properties. The furniture is comfortable and the main living rooms spacious, nicely decorated and cosy. The conservatory was a great extra room, again with excellent views and access into the gardens. With pleanty of linen/towels etc provided and everything you needed in the kitchen with no additional or hidden charges and no list of restrictions or rules it makes for a relaxing hastle free break. While to property is in a quiet scenic location it is only 5 minutes walk from South Stack, 5 minutes drive to Treadur Bay and 5-10 min from the supermarkets, shops etc in Holyhead. We stay in several properties every year both in the UK and abroad and found this to be one of the best ones we have stayed in within the UK. If anything the interior photos of the property used on the web site do not do it full justice, it was far nicer than we had expected. We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable relaxing break, it is certainly one we would consider staying in again in the not too distant future. |

We loved our stay at the lodge. The living room was large and luxurious (the internet picture does not do it justice) . We loved the sunroom with its views of the coast and occasional RAF activity. There were sea views from all rooms except bathrooms and hall. There was one house nearby but the lodge felt alone because it was not overlooked, the garden is large and private and there was also a field for our use. We chose the lodge for the coastal views, the solitude and the field for my boys to play football in and we were very happy with our choice. We felt that it is a well loved home, not just a holiday let. The owners responded quickly to my enquiry, even though they were on holiday themselves. There was a welcome basket and a welcome message on a chalkboard for us on arrival. I was very happy with their attitude throughout the holiday process and we have booked to stay for a weekend in the Autumn. The property was surrounded by fields, and there were horses in two of them, which my young daughter loved to stroke and chatter to. Next door is an RSPB reserve and Holyhead Mountain with fantastic walks. Our favourite was the walk down the cliffside steps to the lighthouse bridge - scary at first but the kids loved it and we did it on several evenings. (It is safe but could easily be dangerous so children need to be supervised well). We visited the lighthouse (beware flying seagull poop!) and the RSPB reserve hide (Elin's Tower) which is staffed during the day and has telescopes. We managed to see 2 puffins even though they were nearly gone for the season, and a couple of other species. One of my children now loves birdwatching. The walk to the nearby ancient hut circles and also the Mountain were excellent too (one of these is a good concrete track suitable for wheelchair users) and as a bonus we could see Ireland on the horizon on clear days.(from the mountain track). The Irish network took over our mobile phone signal at certain points on our walks, so beware extra costs. Anglesey has numerous good beaches, and a 125 mile coastal path with stunning scenery. The island also has geological interest, so pebble collecting was fun. Getting to the lodge and exploring Anglesey does involve travelling on narrow but good roads. We used the retail park at Holyhead for our shopping, because it was convenient. There was Tesco, Morrisons, Poundland, Argos and a few others. (Cheap ice creams at Poundland). The nearest multiplex cinema was at Llandudno Junction approx 1 hour away on the mainland - Harry Potter was just out and it was raining - we had to see it! On Anglesey there was an outdoor activity centre, pony treking and circuit racing. We did not find many other activities for teenagers without going to the mainland. The dual carriageway across Anglesey to North Wales was fast and not busy so activities on the mainland were easily possible. (Approx three quarters of an hour away). There were plenty of activites for younger children on Anglesey itself - farm park, sea zoo, Beaumaris castle, playpark at Holyhead, beaches. We had a great holiday exploring Anglesey. Make sure you find Broadwater Country Park (an old industrial site converted to a park for walks) near Holyhead, Holyhead marina/promenade, RAF Valley, South Stack lighthouse. Wylfa nuclear power station, Amlwch geological park, Beaumaris castle and Penmon Point. We had some rain but the lodge was so nice that we were happy to just enjoy it and let the rain pass while the boys played on their games console. |
