    The only suggested comment that was made was that the lower ground floor was slightly damp but because the weather was so hot were able to put the bedding out in the sunshine to air. It is a beautiful property in a fabulous location.

    Large rooms although could be quite noisy due to most of the rooms having floorboards and obviously open plan. House well equipped for a large group. The oven and microwave are dated and didn’t always function.

  • "Hi we really enjoyed the stay, the location is great."

    As a family we always go away for the New Year, we’ve stayed in over 15 properties. Im not one for complaining, I’ll just offer an honest assessment of my stay. In comparison to others we’ve stayed in, the property was dirty. The fridge in the utility room had gone off milk in it and smelled. Our bedding was damp, the kids bedroom upstairs bedding wasn’t changed. It had someone else’s hair on the pillow. First aid kit was out of date, dishwasher and washing machine doors were broken. Rooms are damp, with mould spores on the walls. TV is poor quality, batteries flat in the remote. We had to plug in a laptop to watch Netflix. Outdoor lighting isn’t great. Being totally honest, it didn’t feel like it’s been cleaned properly for a long time. Could be made allot nicer and more welcoming for customers. It’s not a cheap holiday, so you’d expect the basics to be allot better. It needs upgrading if you’re wanting to charge a premium for it. Thanks

    Thank you for your feedback. We're very sorry to hear you had issues with Felin during your stay. We're disappointed that you didn't raise these with us upon arrival as we would have done all we could to address your problems for you. We're sorry for missing the milk in the smaller second fridge! We appreciate this will not have been pleasant, but this was a rare oversight on the changeover before you entered and I assure you we take a very thorough approach to cleaning the property which is reflected in our other reviews. There is also no evidence of mould spores in the property following our inspection, although in keeping with the old stone the property is built with, the walls do retain more moisture than a standard brick build. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about this as the property is listed and this adds to the charm an old unique cottage. We thank you for your comments as we are continually looking for feedback on how we can provide the best experience for our customers and will keep these in mind when considering changes in the future.

  • "We loved the huge living space at Hen Felin."

    The kitchen was excellent and well-stocked with glasses, cutlery, crockery etc and the dining table was a great place to share big family meals. The location was superb, and we loved just watching the tides ebb and flow, and seeing how the birds responded to the changes. Mimi and Charles were welcoming and helpful hosts. Car parking was great too, as was access to the outdoor space. There were a few quirks to the property, like light switches in unusual places but we got used to these. Overall, a wonderful week, and we'd certainly recommend this property to others.

    The WiFi is not good but we don't find that a problem as we like the off grid experience. It would be nice to have some kind of sound bar or Bluetooth speaker. We usually bring our own but forgot. As ever a sublime stay and we are looking forward to our next visit.

    Good idea about the Bluetooth speaker. Will do. Mimi Property Owner

  • "Mimi and Charles were charming and gave us some useful information about the 14th century mill, it’s history, and the facilities."

    The welcome pack was one of the best we’d ever had. The property was huge and easily accommodated 8 of us. The bedding, and beds are top quality and assured a great nights sleep, although “one up, all up” seems to be the default position due to the click/latch doors and creaky floorboards! The living room is spacious and has big comfy sofas, in which to relax the evening away. The kitchen was well appointed and marvellously stocked with everything needed to cook for up to 12 hungry residents. A great deal of thought had obviously gone into that, any many other aspects of our stay. Some minor criticisms were the lighting throughout Felin, which are disjointed and quite dated, however a complete electrical refit would be an extortionate expense, so we put it down to the age of this grand old lady. The massive marble table was more than big enough for a full house, however the cushion pads on the dining chairs were flaking and looked somewhat shabby, but that could be easily remedied. The outside space is delightful, the side, walled patio overlooking the mini-harbour and the Menai Straits is enchanting. There was a private car park for the property, directly across from Felin, and as there was very little traffic down the long unmade track, it felt very secure. All in all, a beautiful property in a staggering location, ideally placed for the North Wales mainland and the amazing island of Anglesey.

  • "Great house and great location."

    As a group of 8 adults it was more than big enough to handle all of us. The equipment level was excellent with plenty of eevrything you need for meals / drinks etc. We used the house as base to explore the ISland as well as visit Portmerion and a days hiking up Snowden which was only half an hour away. We eevn managed a small ping pong tournament!

  • "We were lucky to meet the charming and very helpful owners on arrival."

    They guided us through the quirks of the old mill. The house is perfect for a family holiday with plenty of scope for children, social spaces outside and inside for all and good cooking facilities for a hungry hoard. The local Co-Op, a couple of minutes away, supplied most of our needs and Bangor, just over the bridge, has more exotic food stores. There is plenty of private parking next to a safe grassed area with a high wall, ideal for football practice. We brought a small dinghy which needed warping up and down the drying harbour to remain accessible at all states of the tide. Local walks along the straits have plenty to explore and access to the rest of the island is easy. A great holiday. One mystery remained at the end. A couple of lights we couldn't switch off despite the numerous switches.

    A straight forward booking process with good communication throughout. The house is beautiful and in a perfect setting - ideal for exploring Anglesey and Snowdonia. We had plenty of space for a family of 11 including a baby. In addition we had an excitable Labrador on his first holiday so it was great to be in such a dog friendly location. The house is well equipped and extremely comfortable, we all slept very well. Overall a wonderful break - we all wish we could have stayed for longer. Can’t wait to visit North Wales again to continue exploring!

  • "Yr Hen Felin is an ideal property catering for a large group of people of all ages and abilities."

    It is very clean and well equipped and the owners live nearby should there be any problems during your stay. For anyone with mobility problems the large bedroom and en suite on the ground floor provides excellent accessibility to the hub of the house. There is also very adequate car parking directly opposite the property. The location of the house is fantastic with views of Snowdonia and on the waters edge of the Menai Straits. There are many good walks starting from the house and lots of places to visit nearby. A local taxi firm takes away the need for one or more of the party having to drive. All eleven of us with ages ranging from 6-70 years old had a brilliant holiday and we would certainly recommend this property.

About the location

LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLL

Menai Bridge 2 miles; Beaumaris 6 miles.

Affectionately known by the locals as Llanfair PG, the Anglesey village of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrnd robwllllantysiliogogogoch, also known by its shortened name of Llanfairpwllgwyngyll has the longest place name in Europe. It was artificially named back in 1860 as a publicity stunt for the railway station and translates from Welsh as "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the fierce whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave". Situated close to the Menai Straits, just off the Britannia Bridge, Llanfair PG has much to offer families. After having your photo taken next to the village nameplate at the railway station, head into the popular visitors centre for local tourist information. A short walk past the octagonal Toll House, towards Menai Bridge, will bring you to the Marquis of Anglesey statue and column which, for a small fee, you can climb the 115 steps to the top for superb views of the countryside and coastline. Nelson’s Monument can be easily reached on the banks of the Menai Straits, passing St Mary’s Church on the way. With several good pubs with restaurants, craft and gift shops and cafes, plus the beautiful Anglesey coastline within walking distance, there is plenty to entertain you all year round.
