Our second stay at Brackens. So it can't be that bad.

However, the beds could REALLY do with attention or replacement. With the house and it's facilities being so good, the poor comfort of the beds really stands out. Our friends left early as the husband just could not sleep due to a bad back.

Also, and yes this is picky, but there are 3 toilets. We were left 2 toilet rolls.

Would we return for a third vist ?? Possibly.

The view is outstanding and it was so nice to be able to walk to the bottom of the garden and onto the beach. The house is spacious and makes good use of the views.
There were a couple of small issues such as the garden is definitely not secure for dogs, the bedding isn’t the most comfortable, poor water pressure in the shower.
Overall it’s a lovely house to enjoy the changing view

Wonderful location with amazing views of Snowdon across the estuary. Comfortable accommodation and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable week. So peaceful and lovely to see the bird life on the estuary. Would highly recommend.

An opportunity to occupy something out of Grand Design, albeit with an overgrown example of rewilding. The access to the estuary was rather disappointing due to the overgrown nature of the garden path and the weed covered estuary shoreline.
The property was certainly clean and well equipped, although the welcome pack could have hardly been less exciting. Compared with overseas properties the pack lacked imagination as well as quantity.
If visitors do not appreciate rabbits digging up the garden , then this is not the property for them.
The photographs in the brochure may have applied to the property some years ago, but they are certainly not current.



Stunning!

Excellent property - possibly the nicest we've stayed in - only drawback was the lack of a tumble dryer. We will definitely return though.

In a beautiful location if wanting to get away from it all with stunning views across the estuary.
Even though quiet location, not to far to drive to Rhosneigr or Rhoscolyn and only 30 minutes from other areas with more going on



A beautiful contemporary house in a scenic spot. Close to lovely walks and beaches

The house was perfect for us. Much better than the photos. We loved the views, walks, sitting area, room heights a d open space, books and games,
Only small critique - The smart tv advertised wasn’t smart

The house is well equipped, warm and spacious, but the main event is the view. We had pretty dreadful weather but could still have just sat and looked out of the window for a week. Anglesey is great - easy to get around, beautiful beaches and good walks.
Anglesey Lettings very helpful

Beautiful location, well presented house and well equipped kitchen. Garden was secure but the dogs were driven crazy by all the bunnies and small dogs would be able to escape the gates. Definitely considering another stay and miss the view of the estuary. We did find the temperature too high - we are from Buxton so used to around 17•C rather than 22•C heated homes

We are delighted to know that you had a lovely stay at The Brackens Sarah. The location of the house is lovely right on the Estuary we agree. We are pleased that you were nice and warm, warmer than Buxton !!We would love to be able to welcome you back again at some point in the future.

Spot on !

Great property. Great location. Already planning our return visit.

The only negative regarding the whole week was that food outlets in Angelsey seem to hibernate ( not surprising, I suppose ). Our trip in November saw us struggle to find decent food, or open outlets, and had us visiting Waitrose for supplies rather than eating out. That, of course, is an Angelsey thing not The Brackens, which was splendid.





Another excellent stay

We stayed at the Brackens for 4 nights in early November. When we arrived we were really impressed by the overall external look of the property. The house itself is really impressive, nice and airy with enough seats in each of the rooms for everyone to have their own space. The windows at the rear of the property give spectacular and ever changing views.

At the bottom of the garden there is direct access to the Coastal Path and it is only a short drive to a number of beaches or towns. We visited Menai Bridge, Beaumaris, Rhosneigr and Newborough during our stay all of which were wishing easy reach by car.

We have stayed in a number of properties on Anglesey and this is one of the best. My only suggestion if you visit at cooler times of year, is to make sure you pack big jumpers/thick socks because the house does get cold and the temperature cannot be adjusted, so it does get chilly.

We would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others who want a peaceful and relaxing stay with a beautiful view out of every window!

This property is absolutely stunning with amazing views from all aspects. It is very well appointed and comfortable with everything you might need including hundreds of beautiful books. Lots of lovely walks nearby and the wild garden is just amazing completely in keeping with the position and surroundings of the property. Only small issue, whilst I understand the environmentally friendly ethos of the property really need to be able to turn the heating up, 15 deg recorded in the Largs living space is not warm enough considering the price of the property. Not sure how this will be in winter.However would absolutely recommend this property from all other aspects.

We had a fantastic week at The Brackens, so relaxing just watching the constant changing view. House was lovely, clean, spacious with everything provided. The beds were a little uncomfortable hence the lower mark. Perfect location for walking and cycling hardly used the car which was great for my husband who drives a lot with work. Just to add too, the lady at Anglesey Lettings who helped with a query was so nice and friendly, thank you. Will most definitely be returning to this property. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Superb views of Snowdonia across river estuary teeming with bird life. The house is very well appointed and offers good views from the interior. Binoculars and telescope are not good. Garden is neglected…..could do with a decent lawn adjacent to the house.



Lovely house.

Lovely beautiful house, location on the estuary was amazing but just a shame every and shops/beach/restaurant was a drive away.
House was clean and tidy but the rear garden was quite overgrown.
Outdoor shower was lovely with a great view but the floor could do with a jet wash.
Didn’t find the double beds particularly comfortable.
I am being picky but those little things are what I remember.
I would visit again for sure.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Stephen, it is very much appreciated. We will pass on your comments regarding the outdoor shower to our maintenance team, but the garden has been rewilded by the owners and this is stated in the property details. We would love to be able to welcome you back in the future to The Brackens or any other property on our portfolio.

This is a fabulous holiday house. Amazing setting and views. The house is very spacious and in the most part well equipped (only criticism could do with a few more glasses!). We loved the out door shower after a swim in the estuary. We will definitely book again!

Anglesey holiday lettings communication was good and send really useful info about the property and Anglesey activities prior to our visit.

Everything spotlessly clean. Lovely views. Good position for getting out and about. Perfect all round and well eqiped but could do with more in the way of saucepans and bowls. If I had to make any negative comments it would be the wifi, it was very poor so to have a smart TV is pretty pointless, we couldnt use anything excect the terrestrial channels as wifi wasnt up to it. Even trying to stream anything on an ipad wasnt good. Maybe dont advertise it. The garden, -great but all pretty neglected, "left wild" really does mean that. its not attraction and could do with some wild flower seeds thrown apart to make it a bit prettier. Neither of of these points would stop me returning though, pretty minor in the big scheme of things.

The location and views are stunning. The accommodation is of high standard. The garden however was a little unkept and was over run with rabbits which wasn’t ideal with two Labradors. In the end we couldn’t let them out without being out with them so not quite the relaxing stay we’d hope for and as a dog friendly accommodation I think this should be mentioned. That said beautiful property.

Thank you so much for leaving us a review about how much you you enjoyed your stay at The Brackens. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the re wilded garden because it is made quite a feature of in our property information.Our property information states-If you love wild natural scenery, you’ll adore The Bracken's rewilded garden with its small but deep pond. It’s a refuge for wildlife: a place to connect with nature and fully de-stress. We do hope that you will come and visit us again in the future, at The Brackens or any other property on our portfolio.

Just beautiful…

Brought my Mum, daughter (8yrs) and niece (7yrs) here for a long weekend over the Kings Coronation weekend. All we can say is what a stunning house, even better than the pictures. We were lucky with the weather and the views are dreamy. We loved having a walk down the garden and pottering about on the edge of the estuary in our wellies. The outdoor space of this house is brilliant. The girls loved the secret “den”, and the trampoline kept them entertained for hours. The outdoor shower was also a hit! The large utility room was great for hanging the wetsuits after a day at the beach. There is a quaint little cafe around the corner and a chippy, we didn’t get chance to try them as we had a couple of events in Rhosneigr to attend, but next time we will. There is also a bike store for anyone bringing bikes, great idea as you can cycle the cob all the way through Newborough Forest. The master bedroom has its own walk in wardrobe/dressing area and it’s own master bathroom, with a sliding door cutting it all off from the rest of the house. Oh, and I can’t not mention the raft of books around the house, a book lovers dream. We will definitely be back, we staycation a lot and this is one of the best we have stayed in. Perfect for families. We didn’t want to leave.

Simply stunning property !
The house is modern , beautifully designed, and really well kitted out with top end appliances .
It was very warm , comfortable and lacked for nothing .
The views across the estuary are unparalleled and mesmerising.
It was a joy to stay there and it was great that they allowed dogs , as otherwise we couldn’t have gone . The garden is large and secure and perfect for dogs and people alike .
Fabulous walks straight from the door stop .
We couldn’t find any fault with any aspect of it , it’s a very special place .

Our kids are obsessed with the beach and the sea whatever the season so this was the perfect location for our recent family break: just a couple of minutes walk down the steps through the wild garden and we are there, paddling and looking for tiny crabs. Being so close to the water and with so much space to let the kids explore nearby was just what we needed, and we really appreciated returning to a cosy bolthole at the end of our beach visits. The house was warm and snug; it reminded us of European holiday houses we've stayed in with the emphasis on energy conservation and use of materials which very much appealed to us. And waking up to the views was something else - the best way to start and end the day (and really, just gaze out whenever you walk through the kitchen). On a practical note, we had everything we needed for our stay and really appreciated the thought that's gone into all the rooms, from the kitchen and adjoining snug (perfect for some late afternoon downtime) to the drying area. We did make an effort to drag ourselves away from the house and garden to explore Anglesey's woods and beaches, but ran out of time so will definitely return to continue our adventure.
