- Evidence: 6 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.

Pet-friendly summary
Big Azzles is a roomy holiday house a short walk from Benllech's long sandy bay, and its best moments for dog owners come from that location: a hot tub, an enclosed garden and the beach ten minutes downhill. Guests who brought dogs are split, and it carries a 4.4/5 paw rating.
On the plus side, the garden is fully enclosed, and an outdoor shower by the hot tub is ideal for rinsing sandy dogs after the beach. The house takes up to two pets, and when it is on form guests describe it as spacious and well equipped, with the pub, chip shop and other takeaways nearby.
The negatives are worth reading carefully. Several guests, with and without dogs, arrived to find dog mess left on the lawn by previous visitors and grass too long to clear it easily. Housekeeping and upkeep come up again and again: grubby surfaces, a tired vacuum, missing kitchen basics, sparse seating, a leaking en-suite and general wear. One dog owner was alarmed when a contractor left the back gate open, and the gate has no lock.
Check the beach rules before you go. Benllech beach restricts dogs in the main summer season, and the walk back from the bay is a steep climb. Out of season, or with a car to reach other Anglesey beaches, it works better.
Big Azzles suits a group who mainly want a hot tub and a garden near the sea and can live with rough edges. If spotless presentation matters, check recent feedback first.
