Pet-friendly summary
Bryn y Don is a big, homely holiday house overlooking Benllech Bay, and it suits a large family gathering that wants to bring the dog along. Groups of ten or more have stayed here with a dog in tow, the beach is only minutes away, and dog owners rate it highly, giving it a 4.6/5 paw rating.
The booking listing allows one pet. Guests travelling with dogs love the beach, the space indoors and the garden, which is a good size for children and dogs to play in, and the owners live nearby and are friendly and helpful.
The garden is the thing to know about before you book. It is advertised as enclosed, but dog owners have repeatedly found gaps in the hedge along the left-hand side, big enough for a dog to slip through, and more than one dog has got out. Treat the garden as unsecured and keep your dog on a lead or supervised outside unless the gaps have been fixed since. For a large dog that needs off-lead freedom, this has spoilt a holiday.
Elsewhere, the house scores well on space, views from the upstairs lounge and the hot tub. A few guests have reported housekeeping lapses on arrival, including dog hair left from previous guests, and some uncomfortable single beds. The view is also partly blocked by a large neighbouring building.
For big families heading to Anglesey with one dog who is happy on a lead in the garden, Bryn y Don is a roomy, well-located choice close to one of the island's best beaches.
