Reviews
"Absolutely top notch. Very friendly and helpful yet not overly on the scene. Great facilities with lots of little extra touches. It was a holiday for our 40th Anniversary and Fiona had lit a fire for us left a welcome hamper and even put rose petals on the bed. We would defiantly recommend the cottage and the owners without hesitation."
"Second time for us at Carreg Rhys Owners cant do enough to make your stay here as pleasant & comfortable as possible great location to explore Anglesey or even Snowdon great walks for the dog wonderful beaches great dog friendly pubs explore the Island then relax in the Hot Tub and the cosy wood burner. Fantastic place Saw Red Squirrels there are well."
"I could not recommend this cottage enough. This cottage is perfect for a romantic cosy get away. I loved every minute of our stay and Angelsey is a beautiful place to go and explore. The fire is amazing, especially on a dark cold night. It was lovely to meet Fiona & Peter, they are both wonderful hosts and they made this trip feel like going from home to home. The hamper and the fire lit on arival was lovely to come in to. The bed is so comfortable and everything was prestine. We will definitely be coming back again in the future! Xx"
"We have just had the most wonderful week at Carreg Rhys cottage. The owners Fiona and Peter are so lovely and welcoming and from the minute you arrive you feel at home. It has every comfort you will need and beautiful surroundings. We will be back."
"We stayed in this cottage for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed. I don't know where to start in some ways. My new husband has spoken with Fiona the owner and when we arrived she had put us a banner up, lit the fire, candles, rose petals and got us a box of treats and bubbly. This was the most wonderful touch and honestly made it so personal and quaint. Thank you Fiona for taking the time to do that for us. Nothing seems to much trouble for them, they are they there if you need them but they leave you alone to relax and enjoy your break. Pete even told us to turn the music up and enjoy the hot tub and not worry. The cottage was impeccably clean with all the essentials you would need for a holiday away. I often find there's lots of utensils you can never find on holiday but Fiona has thought of everything, even down to things like an extension to help with the hairdryer etc. The bed was very comfortable we both slept well. It just has such a romantic peaceful feel about it. The roll top bath was a perfect addition! So relaxing and romantic. If your after some rest and relaxation, or a base to explore as a couple look no further. Sitting with the roaring log burner after exploring Is a feeling you can't beat. Drinking bubbly and cosying up. We used the wi find and managed most of the time to watch a firestick with it to watch films. Although there are two TVs in the cottage both with a dvd player. The cottage is dog friendly Nero loved it. However you cannot tell dogs stay, it is still very clean and smells lovely on arrival. Dogs that do stay sleep downstairs. I couldn't stop for the first two days expressing to my husband how perfect this cottage is so I couldn't possible write it all in a review. I couldn't find any faults. We went in the hot tub two very chilly November evenings but it was lovely. We didn't feel overlooked in the slightest. The couple make it what it is, the attention to detail of making it a home from home has worked and it's a hidden gem. Set down rural lanes but still only less than 10 mins drive to the shop. You wouldn't ever regret visiting here for a cosy time away. Thank you for the perfect honeymoon and your personal touches that made it so memorable. We will 100% return again."
"Fiona & Peter are brilliant hosts,nothing is to much trouble. Tho cottage is lovely & everything on the island is within 15 to 40 minutes drive away. Beaches & coastal walks to die for. Fish & chips on Rhosnigr beach watching the sunset was lovely. The hot tub is so relaxing after a long coast walk. Thank you so much,we will be back! David & Michelle X."
"A great little cottage with all amenities, set in rural Anglesey. You get what it says on the tin! So quiet and peaceful. We needed a break from it all and that is what we got, fabulous. Only five minutes drive to the town or the beach. Some good restaurants close by as well. Fiona and Pete were great hosts who could not do enough for us. I think we can call them good friends now. And, to cap it all, we had the most fantastic weather! Well worth a visit. Thank you for a brilliant week. (Love to Lola)."
"Great getaway owners treated us like family. Well equipped Cosby spotlessly clean soooooo relaxing. Excellent place to explore the island. A real home from home"
"This is the second time that we've stayed at Carreg Rhys, both times have been fabulous. Fiona & Peter (the owners) are so welcoming, nothing is too much trouble. We really loved the new fluffy dressing gowns - a must when you get out of the hot tub on a cold October night! For anyone looking to find a romantic retreat & also a base in a great location to explore Angelsey- look no further. Not only is the cottage warm & cosy with the log burner, more spacious than you'd think & great value, it really is a pet friendly place to stay. We look forward to our next stay xx"
"This was our first time we have stopped in a cottage with our 1 year old Basset Hound Eddie. We have had an absolutely fantastic week! Fiona and Pete are absolutely amazing! We read all the reviews before hand, so we were sure we were going somewhere lovely and it was! Their attention to detail is impeccable! We was met by Pete and walked into the cottage with candles lit, a lovely welcome hamper and petals on the bed and in the bath! The cottage is decorated and furnished finely; very sumptuous and cosy! Fiona then came to say hello, once she had greeted her other guests at their sister cottage. Soon as we met Fiona and Pete it was like we had known them for years!!! Throughout the week Fiona and Pete were there when we wanted a chat and if we needed helping out about where to go on our daytime adventures (I'm sure they will remember pizza gate! Private joke!). We were really sad to leave, but will be sure to be returning in the near future!!! We have not only had a lovely time enjoying the many beaches and sights of Anglesey and Wales but have made two lovely friends! See you soon!!! X x x x "
"My partner and I booked Carreg Ryhs for an early January stay to beat the winter blues. We have stayed before and knew what to expect - a relaxing and cosy break. We took our dog again who always has such a big fuss made of her by the owners Fiona and Pete. Their dogs had just had a litter of puppies so also had some much needed pet therapy. There was a problem with the hot tub so the owners offered to let us stay at Bwthyn Megan as the previous guests had just vacated. This is the sister cottage just up the road which also had tub. Very impressed with both cottages which are finished to a high standard. Very Laura Ashley. Fiona and Pete couldn't do enough for us and it was lovely to meet them again. They really do take pride in their work. Arriving to a roaring log fire is a nice touch and provides a lovely welcome. Sad to be home now, we will be returning."
"We enjoy cottage Holidays and had many but this is the best we have had. Fiona and Peter greeted us as if we were great friends, and soon were. Such a warm welcome and such a cosy retreat. Warm wood burning stove comfortable bed and even a welcome hamper to great us. The views are lovely with Snowdonia in the near distance. There is a hot tub right outside the door but tucked away in a secluded private corner. Nothing nicer to sit out in the hot tub with a tumbler of wine in good or wild weather then hop out and into a warm cottage with a blazing log fire. Dogs are welcomed with plenty of grounds for them to use. Although Carreg Rhys is secluded shops and supermarkets are only a few miles away as are the beaches and Newborough Forest. Plenty to see and do if you want to roam further afield, Ideal for bird watching once a favourite haunt of C.F.Tunnicliffe probably our best remembered bird artist. "
"We booked this cottage for a much well earned break, what a little gem we had the best relaxing week we could have wished for. Great location beautiful cottage with hot tub, Owners Fiona and Pete a great couple very accomadating nothing too much trouble which made the break even more relaxing. A great base for exploring plenty of nice beaches nearby and the local pubs do great food."
"A comfortable, homely cottage with the added bonus of being dog friendly and a terrific hot-tub to use after walks along Anglesey's stunning coastal path. The cottage has everything to make your stay a great one, a well appointed kitchen, a homely log burner and other little details that make it welcoming, not forgetting the thoughtful welcome basket of treats. A warm welcome from Fiona helped to us to quickly settle in. The cottage is a great base to explore Anglesey and North Wales. Aware that the cottage was in a rural location, we set off early to walk and explore, then had some terrific lunches in great locations such as Rhosneigr, Red Wharf Bay and Treaddur Bay. So many pubs welcome dogs and walkers with muddy boots. Returning to the cottage to settle in for the evening for wine (would highly recommend the wine shop on the hight street in Conwy), cheese and pate before relaxing in the tub. A great way to unwind from the stresses of everyday life."
"A little piece of heaven. Such a gorgeous cottage in a perfect and tranquil setting. The owners. Pete. Fiona (and family) were so welcoming and went the extra mile to make us feel so welcome., even leaving a hamper for our arrival. We both had an amazing time even our grumpy British Bulldog George!! If you are looking for a 'getaway' from it all luxury break (with hot tub) then this is the place. Thank you and we will be back soon, love Karen, John & George Daniels."
"We had a very relaxing time at Carreg Rhys. This was greatly enhanced by the warm welcome we received from Fiona and Peter, nothing was too much for them. The generous welcome basket and roaring log fire made a great start to the holiday. The cottage was lovely with a large lounge with dining area overlooking view of garden, kitchen with all amenities you could ask for, large bedroom with very comfortable king size bed and large bathroom with lovely bath and heated towel rail. There are 2 TVs in the cottage and games, DVDs are provided just in the case the weather is not so good. The views from the cottage grounds were stunning and you had full use of the grounds, great for exercising the dog. The hot tub is a large one, which is great for a couple as there is plenty of room for both of you to lie in there and relax completely and use heat/jets as you wish. The cottage was within easy reach of many lovely places to visit on Anglesey and less than a hour from Llandudno and Snowdonia. We found great beaches at Rhosneigr , Red Wharf Bay and Treaddur Bay. Angelsey is very dog friendly and we found several pubs and cafes where dogs were allowed. We would definitely stay here again the next time we are in the area."
"From the minute we arrived to a fabulous welcome from the great hosts (and finding the log burner beautifully aflame) to the time we left we could find no fault in this cosy, well furnished and thoughtfully equipped cottage. The area is beautiful and we took our dog for some great walks on the beach which was only a short drive away. My favourite thing was the gorgeous hot tub (huge for 2) and my least favourite was driving away at the end of the break"

"We had a wonderful stay for my partners birthday, it was also an added bonus that we could take our 2 dogs by request. Wonderful walks all around, recommend Holyhead mountain and also Newborough Forest for walks with beautiful scenery. A few dog friendly pubs to eat around also, which was great. We will definitely be returning."
"Fiona, Pete, Thomas, Lucy and not forgetting Marley and Alfie: thank you! what a welcome! A beautiful cottege. Great hot tub too. A hidden gem and feel that if you want a romantic, relaxing break come here. We were very sad to leave and vowed to return. Beautiful people, beautiful place and a beautiful holiday. Thank you x"
"We were greated in person by Pete & Fiona Kelly. They were very warm and welcoming. We arrived late afternoon on a rainy cold day and they had lit the log burner for us, so the cottage was warm and cosy. I had spoken with Fiona before we arrived and she knew it was a much needed romantic break. There were fresh rose petals scattered on the table, a wonderful welcome basket and they fussed our little Westie, Harvey. The cottage had everything needed and was so homely. The hot tub was fabulous and dressing gowns were provided too! Fiona & Pete were very knowledgeable about the area and recommended places to visit and to eat out.Their children were very polite and friendly. Our dog even found a friend in their dog, Alfie! The grounds and gardens are beautiful and a real sun trap. It is quiet and secluded - paradise. The perfect escape from our busy life at home. We will be back.... Nick & Nicki Oliver"
"We had the most relaxing and romantic weeks holiday. This place is paradise. Perfect from the welcome on arrival to the tears on departure. The cottage is cozy and has everything ou would ever need to have your dream holiday."
"Just returned from a weeks break at Carreg Rhys and I can't rate this little place highly enough, from the pre arrival call to see if we would like a fire lighting for our arrival to the greeting by the owner - Fiona when we got there it felt like seeing someone we'd known for ages! The welcome hamper, the furnishings, the Xmas decorations, log burner and of course the hot tub we were just taken a back by how this felt like home from the moment we walked through the door. They made our dog feel part of the holiday as well with a chew treat in the hamper as well as additional dog bowls for us to use! Just lovely we didn't feel like having a dog with us was a pain for them in anyway and their little dog Alfie put a spring in our oap lab's walk!! Peter and Fiona are the perfect hosts and are so knowledgeable about Anglesey and the surrounding areas that they aren't short of advice and tips for amazing places to go. All in all a fantastic place, fantastic hospitable owners who can't do enough for you and we certainly can't wait to return! Highly recommended!"
"Perfect location in a quiet rural setting yet still only a few minutes drive to a fantastic beach and breathtaking coastline. Accomodation finished to a very high standard and the owners couldn't have been more welcoming.We have been on many cottage holidays but this one certainly comes close to being the best."

"We arrived to a very warm welcome from our hosts, Mr and Mrs Kelly. The welcome pack was a really nice surprise. The cottage was exceptionally well equipped and extremely comfortable and set in a beautiful, peaceful location with lovely views of the surrounding countryside, within easy reach of local amenities and attractions. The hot tub was just what we needed after walking up and down Snowdon! We will return."
