"Cosy barn has some beautiful countryside and mountain views it's very well equipped ."
We felt that the barn needed some updating and some attention needed in places
The weather was terrible it rained it was windy and cold most of the week there was no complimentary basket of logs which was disappointing and no welcome pack. .There was no Manuel's on how to work the kitchen appliances. When we arrived the TV wasn't working and we had to ring Mrs Beown (Housekeeper) she got in touch with Menai cottages and they sent a maintenance chap who fixed the problem apparently the TV was temperamental according to Mrs Brown but no instructions on how to use it because we didn't have to use the TV remote it was the TV box remote that we had to use . Cosy Barn has a lot going for it its in a nice location and it's a shame these things let it down.
.
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that we were easily able to resolve the small issue that you encountered with the TV. Property Owner

"For those that want a quiet tranquil stay in idyllic location with lovely views of the mountains from a sun terrace, would not find better."
The barn wowed us from the moment we opened the door.
Thank you for letting us stay there

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cosy Barn in Anglesey."
It is in a lovely location overlooking the Welsh mountains yet close to great beaches such as Newborough, Rhosneigr and Lligwy.
Furnishings in the barn were comfortable and the bedding was clean. The kitchen was well stocked and all the equipment such as fridge, cooker, microwave, dishwasher etc worked well. There's a good size main bathroom with roll top bath and shower. The ensuite bathroom had an excellent shower although we found the sink was too small to have a good wash.
We were very grateful to the owner for returning my daughter's house keys, mistakenly left in the key cupboard after our stay.
A few points we would like to mention which could easily be implemented to improve our stay even more, (and have already been mentioned in the 'comments book' in the barn by other people who've stayed), are as follows:-
1. It was cold when we first entered the the barn and it took a couple of days for it to get to a reasonable temperature. We feel the radiators in the lounge area need bleeding for them to work more efficiently and radiators could be switched on earlier.
2. Recycling bins could be provided so that waste can be disposed of properly.
3. We thought In this day and age WiFi would be a given!!!
4. A few cobwebs and dust on light shades and inside ornaments need attention.
We would love to return to Cosy Barn again, maybe later in the year when the weather is warmer. We could then take full advantage of the garden and sit out on the patio and admire the view.

"We had a lovely week at Cosy Barn."
The barn was very well equipped, more spacious than we thought it would be and very clean too. The garden view is fantastic and our boys enjoyed the regular visits from the cows. The location is great for exploring Anglesey and the north coast of Wales. The only negative was the missing blind in the main bedroom, we were woken early with the light so had to pick up some eye masks.

"Cottage met expectations as in facilities, comfort and location."
The biggest let down was due to cleanliness. Kitchen sink, cooker, worktops dirty had to clean all before use. En suite shower cubicle screen dirty full of soap scum, sink and front of cupboard, tiles around area had previous guests toothpaste stains as did the glass cup above the sink. Bathroom also needed a good clean. Could really do with a thorough clean and especially in current circumstances definitely needs better level of cleanliness after each guests.

"We loved it here even though the weather for May was a little cooler and damper than expected."
It lives up to its name of Cosy Barn. The views from the back of the cottage of the Snowdonia mountain range were outstanding. The cottage is well furnished and appointed and apart from the odd cobweb (it is a barn conversion after all) was very clean. The end of our holiday came all too soon and we were reluctant to leave, however we have re-booked a return visit next year and looking forward to it. All told we have used Sykes before and have found their cottages to be of a very high standard and reasonably priced and in this respect Cosy Barn did not disappoint.

"Lovely homely and spacious cottage."
The views are spectacular.
We spent a fabulous week exploring the island of Anglesey. Coming home to this welcoming peaceful retreat each day.
Our 11 yr old springador loved it.
We are so sad that dogs are now not allowed following on from this trip. We were ready to rebook for a return.

"I can't believe no one has contacted me personally."
I keep getting emails from you about prize drawer entries, and what I want is an apology and compensation for the situation that, I hope, you know about. Briefly, we were told that the dishwasher and washer were not working on the day before we went on holiday. We only booked this place because of the appliances in it. Now I accept that accidents happen, and you can't always do anything about them, but we have had no contact from anyone on your team, even though I was personally promised updates on the situation and compensation. Indeed, on the day you phoned to tell me about the breakages (May 31st 3.30pm we went June 1st), I asked you to ring me back with a compensation offer, and no one called. I had to call your office the next day! I have checked my credit card account, and to date, no compensation has been given. I don't expect to pay £600 for a house without a dishwasher and washer/dryer. I have already given my feedback in the visitors book, and an email that arrived yesterday from you, asking for my feedback. This is the third time I have written all this. Would someone do something about it please?! Ironically, we have another holiday booked with you in July. We have been long and loyal customers of Sykes, but I will be thinking twice about using you again in the future. The results above reflect the cottage as we saw it. It wasn't accurately listed as there were two broken appliances, it wasn't comfortable as we were left one dish cloth and only two tea towels, and obviously the facilities therefore, were poor. The cottage itself was very clean, although there is a terrible damp smell coming from the washer that is broken.
We are so sorry once again that the appliances could not be fixed prior to your arrival and we are pleased that we could resolve the matter satisfactorily. Both appliances are now in full working order. Property Owner
