• "Great stay in the cottage."

  Has everything you could possibly need and great location in the heart of Beaumaris. Really peaceful and cosy place. Lovely and clean and leaving wine, biscuits and tote bag for guests is a really nice touch. Thank you. We liked that no pets are allowed. Met the cleaning staff on the way out and were very nice and friendly and great to hear they live nearby. Only thing I would say is it would be great if check in was a little earlier than 4pm. A really pleasant stay. Hope to be back.

  Only 2 mins walk to town centre, free parking about 50 yards away, cottage was nice and clean with plenty of bedding and towels.

  .....was better than I expected! Beaumaris was also lovely and great that everything was in walking distance. It was a great base for running, walking and cycling. Even better with some amazing weather. We'd definitely come back to this property!

• "This is a lovely cottage, very cozy and comfortable."

  The kitchen is really well-equipped compared to other places we have stayed in, and being able to have breakfast while watching the birds in the garden was a joy! Ideally situated just a few minutes walk from shops and cafés, with the Anglesey Coast Path at the end of the road.

  Thankyou Lauren for the great comments. The patio area is great as it is enclosed and you can sit outside sometimes when it is windy and not be affected and it is a reall suntrap in the summer, lovely place for breakfast or a drink in the evening. The cottage is a short walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants. Hope you will come back and stay again sometime in the future. Property Owner

• "Blue cottage was absolutely perfect in every way."

  The only worry was the staircase as my Mum is 84 with limited mobility but this was our problem and she coped. Perhaps a rope handrail on the left hand side or a warning in the description for elderly people...

• "The property is very compact and I would not recommend it for anyone that is tall, because of the low door frames, nor anyone that is not good on their feet, because of the stairs."

  Other than those points it was very clean and ideally sited for walking into town. . Parking could be a problem in busier times. Disappointed that the welcome pack was a bottle of wine and a bag as we are used to receiving more useful items like a pint of milk, butter etc. Unfortunately the weather was not very kind to us and it does tend to bias the feedback.

• "Absolutely loved the cottage, welcome wine and tote bag a lovely gesture."

  The constant ‘pip pipping’ of cars coming around the corner became quite annoying especially from 7am, we appreciate this is not the owners responsibility. Things to improve- The bathroom basin has no plug which made shaving difficult. No hair dryer, which would have been nice.

  Hi Nicola, Thanks for the lovely comments, and you are welcome back anytime. Thanks for your feedback about the plug, I didn't know this had gone missing, so this has now been replaced and also a new hairdryer has been purchased. Property Owner

• "The property is in a great location."

  Although parking is not available near the property you have to use the car park situated about a 10min walk at £6 a day and overnight which I think should be noted in the details for the property. The property is damp, unfortunately we had quite a bad leak in the bathroom (which is situated downstairs) I thought initially from the shower however after I had contacted the owner she explained that it was a build up of silt in the pipes outside causing the water to come into the bathroom due to the amount of rain. Dont get me wrong the owner sorted the problem but because of the intense smell of damp in the property I believe it’s an ongoing issue and needs to be resolved. The amount of woodlice was disturbing not just a few on the floor but actually climbing the walls. All the crockery had to be washed before use and the fridge/freezer needs some attention it’s completely frozen up. Washing machine is rusty inside so i opted not to use it. The cottage is lovely and well equipped it was the issues above that spoilt it for me. Would I book again - no sorry! For the money I paid it did not meet my expectations nor did it meet the description advertised.

  After 4 days of heavy rain unfortunately some silt had built up in the outside down pipe and caused some water to ingress into the bathroom. After you notified us my sister came straight away and drove for over an hour to come and assist and sorted the problem, we had never had this issue before and hope to never have this again. After keeping in touch with you after this you advised that everything was ok and so I am surprised to see that you feel that there were other issues which you have documented on here which I could have sorted during your stay. We always encourage our guests to advise us of any problems at the time so we can look into it. We have always had good reviews as you can see previously and had many bookings over the last couple of months with no complaint. With regards to parking there is on street parking around the corner that is free of charge and which all the guests use and is a short distance from the cottage. Property Owner

• "A pretty cottage very close to everything Beaumaris has to offer."

  The owners have given thought and consideration to the look and feel of the cottage and added so man little touches, such as having a bottle of wine; a shopping bag; soap, washing up liquid and other items present, that many rented properties do not supply. The kitchen was really well supplied with everything required if cooking whilst there. Well done to the owners.

  Loved the decor and the shell wall. Have explored Beaumaris and the castle, enjoyed blustery walks along the pier. Can thoroughly recommend the gardens at Plas Cadnant, great gardener guided tour too. Red Wharf Bay was also windy. Final day we spent being guided by our Bangor Uni daughter to some of the archaeological highlights of the west coast, neolithic Bryn Celli Ddu burial mound and Ty Maar Hut circles are well worth a visit

• "What a gem of a cottage."

  An Absolutely beautifully presented cosy cottage. We stayed in Beaumaris recently to visit family in the area. We booked Blue Cottage as it was perfectly located. It had everything we needed for our 3 night stay and would highly recommend. They kindly provided a cot and high chair at no extra cost. I would suggest maybe considering the option of a removable stair gate for families with smaller children as the stairs are quite steep, however this did not affect our stay in any way. Thank you for the lovely welcome gift- an extra added nice touch. We will hopefully be back soon. Thank you.

  The cottage is so cosy and cleverly thought out, we found everything we needed - from a clothes maiden to towels. We loved using the fire and we found Tesco in Bangor was great for suppliers.

  Having read some of the more recent negative comments I was a little apprehensive about our holiday but the criticisms are unfounded. The cottage does not smell of damp, yes it is small but it is also very old and who cares about unmatched wine glasses? The beds are super comfy, everything works and the garden is a great sun trap. Phone reception is patchy (and best at the top of the garden) but personally that was a bonus........

• "This cottage is in a good location on a quiet side street in the centre of Beaumaris."

  The bed was very comfortable and the shower was very good. However we did not find the rest of the cottage very comfy. The sofa was very hard and uncomfortable as were the 2 bucket chairs… the scatter cushions were old dirty and flat. It just wasn’t the place we wanted to come back to after a day out. The cottage is also very dark even on the sunniest of days and had a very bad smell of damp / fustiness. The cottage needs painting and updating. The kitchen is very tight with the table up.. and the kitchen didn’t have a salad bowl or Pizza cutter and mismatched wine glasses. We did expect so much more for the very high price we paid. People have commented almost a year ago about the sofa etc but still nothing seems to have been replaced. We would not stay here again.

  Many thanks for your feedback and I am sorry that you were disappointed with your stay. We have been doing a refurbishment on the windows earlier in the year and hoping to complete the works and an internal upgrade at the end of the busy season. The soft furnishing were to be the last things to be changed so they didn't get damaged but acknowledging the sofa has become harder due to it being a sofa bed, a new sofa and chairs were ordered two months ago and we have been waiting for them to be delivered which will be this week. We have had the cottage for 15 years and as you can see we have always had good reviews, and due to a bereavement earlier in the year the refurbishment hasn't gone as quickly as we had wished. We take all the feedback very seriously and take on board the comments made Property Owner

• "This cottage is in a great location but is in need of some attention."

  The beds were comfortable but the bedding and towels were cheap and poor quality. The furniture is basic IKEA and much of it needs replacing. We understand that a new sofa is on order, the cushions on the current one are so compacted that it was hard to sit on and the tub chairs were uncomfortable. Unfortunately there’s no dishwasher and we found dirty pans and dirty lumpy sugar. The cottage smelled damp and we spent as much time out of it as possible. It is clear that the cottage is undergoing some renovation but this should be reflected in the price. If you pay over £800, you expect better quality furnishings and comfort for that price. This cottage has so much going for it but it should be listed as basic accommodation with a lower rating and a price to match.

  It’s evident from the new kitchen and bathroom that refurbishment has started. The windows not opening in the lounge did impact a touch on ventilation and upstairs window a bit noisey but owner is getting the windows done true to style so I’m sure that will make a great change. Due to the location of the cottage the constant beeping of cars round the corner was a bit annoying especially of an evening.
