Delightful

Couldn’t have have asked for a more tranquil relaxing break, yards from the beach and coastal walks, felt so relaxed just sat and looked at the panoramic views.

Church Bay

This property was in a great location for all that Church Bay has to offer. The Lobster pot, the Cafe, the location to the beach and the coastal paths. It really is a great little property. We were surprised and delighted to be able to use and open up the whole of the upstairs sliding windows onto the balcony given it was September! The house had all that we needed for our long weekend, it was clean and comfortable and well equipped. The twin room was very small, with little room between the beds, but still serviceable. All in all a very good house and position for a holiday at the wonderful Church Bay.

Gorgeous

I picked a bad week for weather but loved my week here. The cottage is lovely, so comfortable and cosy. The view is amazing and I loved having the balcony door open on the one day the weather allowed. Its perfectly situated, right next to the beach and the coastal path. Very peaceful.

Great spot

Great location - minutes from the beach and the coastal path. Wavecrest cafe has great reviews but sadly was not open.

A pretty comfy house

We enjoyed our stay at this pretty location with great views over fields and the sea. We loved the balcony and the house was cosy even when we had terrible weather. Well equipped too. We knew the house was” upside down” but I think it worth noting the stairs to the living areas are very steep and narrow for anyone with mobility issues.

Fab property in a fab location!

Glan yr afon is a beautiful property in a beautiful location. Less than 5 minutes walk to the gorgeous church bay, coast path & wavecrest cafe and 10mins walk up the hill to the church bay inn - (great for kids outside & they often seem to have food vans during the summer). The property had absolutely everything we needed and the view from the balcony is fantastic. We absolutely loved it & would love to stay there again :-)

Fabulous

Excellent customer service within the team at Oyster, housekeeping are brilliant, fabulous fresh and clean throughout, views are stunning, Beach is beautiful. Locals are very friendly.Lobster Pot is a must, food is delicious and the staff are great. Glen Yr Afon is more than expected with all those home from home touches, beds are so comfy, upstairs living is easy to get used to, with those amazing views and landscapes to look at constantly, whilst sat on the balcony or on the sofas. Some very fond memories made. The beach at sunrise is so calming and so magical at sunset. Glen Yr Afron - Church Bay is by far one of the best places ( in our view) we have been to and explored on the island, and we have been to some beautiful places on this fabulous island. With walks ,beaches, restaurant, local pub on your doorstep or a balcony to sit on and watch nature at its best. We would recommend this place. We have allready booked a return trip.

Fantastic beach holiday

From start to finish we had a brilliant time. The house was just as described and was comfy and in the most fantastic location, great sea and sunset views from the balcony. The outdoor area was perfect for a BBQ in the heatwave and despite a cut through the garden to the restaurant next door everyone we met was super friendly and checked in with us about our stay. We were welcomed with a hamper of goodies and a personalised card which was a lovely touch. The lounge/kitchen area being open plan was great for our stay and the lounge itself super comfy. The balcony was such a sun trap in the evening and a great place to sit with a drink watching the sunset. We’d highly recommend a stay here and will hopefully be booking to come back soon.

A great week in a lovely house

We are a "mature" married couple walking the coastal path, and this is our third visit to Anglesey. We both thought that Glan yr Afon was the best house we've stayed in. It's comfortable, very well designed and in a wonderful position overlooking the coast and countryside. The outside balcony really comes into its own on a sunny evening. We had a meal in the Lobster Pot one evening and enjoyed it immensely, and we also bought some dressed crab from the office around the corner. It was excellent quality and really fresh. Yes, a great week in a lovely house!

Glan Yr Afon September 2025

Our 3rd time here, everything was perfect, The cottage, as previously, was excellent, roomy, comfortable and with everything you could need. And, to top the week off, we had virtually a week of sunshine. The cottage is very convenient for seeing Anglesey, with the wonderful Church Bay 2 minutes walk from the cottage. Already booked for 2026. Thank you.

Great 1 week stay

Stayed here at end of May and can honestly say we will definitely return. House is clean and comfortable, with amazing views from upstairs. Admittedly this house is quite remote if you are planning on going on day trips to various places of interest. However the peaceful nature of Church Bay more than makes up for this. Having the beach so close is added bonus. Lobster pot restaurant right next door. If you visit and love seafood we recommend speaking to the guys at lobster pot seafood on the other side of the cottage and buying yourself some lobster/crab and cooking yourself. Something special about enjoying those views from your balcony while having dinner.

Great weekend away

A party of 4 ladies stayed at the property for a long weekend. The view was fabulous, the house clean and comfortable but there are a few areas that need addressing. The hot tap in the toilet is the wrong way round. The sink in the bathroom takes a long time to drain. The quilts on the single beds are not full single quilts they must be off children’s beds as quite small and would not have been adequate if it was cold. We toured the area from Church Bay easily. Our favourite place was Moelfre and lunch at Annie’s Pantry. We also visited Trearddur Bay (and saw dolphins )and Rhosneigr.

Lovely place to stay but some issue with the building

Lovely place adjacent to the beach & coastal walks. Beautiful view from the full-width window. Some concerns. No information to say there was an unprotected deep ditch yards from the house (we had our 3-year old grandson with us). No window in main bedroom to open for ventilation - only a full-length sliding window. No blinds on full-length window upstairs - also window very heavy to open. Instructions on how to use the cooker would be helpful (+ some cooking tins)

Wonderful Stay with Grandchildren

The views are outstanding very peaceful area which was great, dog friendly beaches. A hidden gem. We did take a fan with us for the bedrooms perhaps have these as standard.
