"Beautiful cottage and our third visit as a nice quiet comfortable location."
Comfy beds for a good night's sleep and a well equipped kitchen.
Lots of additional items provided to enhance your stay in the kitchen and plenty of room for a family.
Downside shower still not warm enough may need tweaking.
Hope to return soon.
Thanks Tara - glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back again.

"We stayed at Gwalia Stores for a week over Christmas, with our large lurcher doggo."
The accommodation had everything we needed for our week away and we loved every minute. Large rooms with plenty of space - there was only two of us and the dog but there would have been more than enough space for four people and more dogs. A small enclosed back yard was perfect for a dog that can easily jump a 4’ fence

"Lovely cosy cottage, plenty of seating for 5 adults, wonderful comfy beds and a well equipped kitchen."
The location was perfect for a wander to the bakery, the gaol, the castle and the fabulous shops in town.
Only downside was the WiFi was a bit slow. Think that’s a Beaumaris issue rather than the property. Otherwise a wonderful place to stay and we will definitely be back next summer.
Thanks for your great feedback. Yes, slow WiFi is a Beaumaris-wide issue, I think. Looking forward to welcoming you back for your next stay.

"It was our second visit and an extremely relaxing and comfortable stay."
Many additional items to assist with your stay for self catering in the kitchen.
A fantastic base for a family break in a quiet position and good value for money.
Unfortunately the glass had been broken by previous occupants on the Woodburner therefore we were unable to use it. This was one of the main reasons for booking the cottage and our second visit so was disappointed this couldn't be used or fixed whilst there.
I would suggest some of the cooking items be replaced as getting worn but still useable.
Looking forward to returning for our third visit with the Woodburn.
Glad you still enjoyed your stay, Tara. Thanks for your feedback. We will definitely make sure the wood burner is up and running again when you next stay. We will also upgrade the cooking items shortly. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.

"A lovely, quirky little place with loads of touches of its past life as a local corner store to keep us interested when we weren’t out enjoying the beautiful local seaside town and excellent shops."
Possibly the friendliest area we’ve stayed yet and day two we had all shrugged off any vestiges of hurried townie and relaxed into the lovely relaxed beat of Beaumaris. Managed to do one awesome thing a day without travelling more than ten miles from our little store and there are so many great pubs and restaurants that even though I ran every morning amongst the wonderful scenery to offset them I’ve probably put half a stone on but don’t care it was worth it. Side note we had one small problem with a light switch which the owner immediately rectified. We will definitely return here
Thanks so much for your feedback, Peter. Glad you had such a nice time. We shall look forward to welcoming you back!

"A lovely place to stay for our short break in Angelsey."
Ideally situated for a short walk to the main street. Gwalia Stores is comfortable and well equipped property which was perfect for our party of 5 adults and our dogs. Just loved the quirkiness of the place, from the original large shop windows the large cupboards in the kitchen. We could not have asked for a better place to stay on our first holiday in Anglesey. We would definitely like to stay at the property again and would recommend to friends and family. Thank you Gwalia Stores.
Thanks Stuart. Delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back. Best wishes, Charles

The log burner is dangerous we lit it and the whole place filled with smoke due to loose door and flue had to open windows and doors on a freezing cold evening/no welcome pack as stated
Thank you for your feedback. The log burner was checked out by an engineer following your stay and was found to be working properly. It is serviced regularly in line with requirements and the appropriate safety certificates are obtained.

"I booked this cottage for my 60th birthday as it looked quirky and we know where it was situated as we visit Anglesey frequently."
The property was listed as suitable for pets but what wasn’t made clear was that there was no means of securing the dogs downstairs. The stairs have high steps and unfortunately our dachshund made a bid for freedom up the stairs and then fell down them. Thankfully he was not seriously hurt but we were not prepared to take the chance of further incidents so left the property on Sunday. If we had not got dogs this would have been a delightful place to stay but possibly you need to explain to any dog owner the layout of the cottage or provide a gate that can be left open or closed

"Stayed for a week as a couple with one dog."
The accommodation was spacious, with a well equipped kitchen. Very minor but would have benefitted from some low lighting/lamps downstairs for sitting in the evening.
The location was perfect. Close to the centre of Beaumaris but very quiet. Parking was never an issue - we always managed to find a slot.

"We had a great holiday, the property was excellent for two dogs & two children."
The location was fab! Cleanliness was okay...but we had to wash all the crockery as it was not clean. The floors were very dusty and dirty...however we know that this was a dog friendly house. The yard outside was quite smelly (from other dogs) - would you consider putting a hose outside for people to wash the outside floor before they leave? The kitchen was well stocked but with accommodation for 6 people you need a much bigger fridge. An extra front door key would have been a great help. Overall we had a great stay and will be back (with our dogs & children). Thank you.

Perfectly placed in Beaumaris, which is a lovely place to be based on the Menai Strait and to explore Anglesey. The Central Bakery is a must to visit too. Lots of great places to eat, The Pier House Cafe and Bistro and Jolly's Coffee House were a couple of our favourites.

Well equipped , 5 mins to the local Spar and Beaumaris High St. Parking wasn't an issue either. The listing did state that logs etc would be provided - they weren't which was disappointing- but the accommodation made up for this . Immaculately clean and an imaginative designed property. It would be nice to leave guests a guide book on the area/ an OS map and also - tell people about the Spitfire !! It's an amazing story !!

"We've stayed here several times now as love Gwalia Stores and Beaumaris!"
I have previously suggested more lamps downstairs would be good for ambience and practically for reading at night. However we simply move some fropm upstairs and return them when we leave.
I also bring a couple of large serving spoons with me as these are kitchen essentials which are missing!
Otherwise all great but sorry to see the lovely original cart coffee table has been replaced by a more run of the mill one.
Looking forward to our next trip :)

The owner really easy to contact. Its located in an ideal spot, we had 3 cars with us and no issue in parking outside the property. It was just a quick 5 min walk to the centre of Beaumaris/sea front. Weather was changeable for the weekend and we found the property a welcoming home out of the rain! Ideal place for lighting the fire and playing board games with a glass of wine.
