  This cottage is in an excellent location, just seconds from the high street and pubs/restaurants.

  The street is relatively quiet although there is foot traffic outside the window during the day. Rooms spacious for 2 adults and a dog at least. There is an enclosed courtyard for your dog, but it is not well kept and furniture not clean so not suitable for dining outside. Despite the listing describing off-road parking, practically there was no parking provided as you'd be very lucky to find a space. It was easy enough to unload outside the cottage though. The Green Car Park is the only car park in Beaumaris that provides weekly parking (at £25/week, as well as a refundable £10 deposit for the barrier card). It is only a short 5 minute walk away but you can only buy a pass between 9-4pm, so most guests won't be able to get a pass on the first day as arrival is currently 5pm earliest. Biggest problem was cleanliness - when we arrived we expected to do a little extra cleaning because of COVID but we were shocked by how dirty the place was. It was like someone cleaned the bathroom and forgot to do the rest of the cottage! This included raw fish juice in the microwave, crumbs on the counter/table, dog hair and dirt on all the floors, living room rug filthy with debris and high level dust everywhere. There also appeared to be some new damp forming on the ceiling above the fireplace in the main bedroom. We spent an hour cleaning the cottage as it was 7pm before noticing hair on the sheets and stains on the mattress protector which we didn't think we could sort out ourselves. We then complained to the housekeeping company and they were very apologetic and helpful, offering to clean the cottage (which we had already done so didn't need, and we didn't want someone else in the cottage during the pandemic) and arranged for new linen to be sent - these were brand new bought directly from Tesco that evening. Unfortunately the size was not correct so we ended up having to wash the linen in the washing machine ourselves and sleeping on our own towels for the first night. If it wasn't for the cleanliness issue on arrival we would recommend this cottage. Once cleaned the place was comfortable and a good base for exploring Beaumaris and Anglesey but we have serious concerns about the adequacy of cleaning between guests.

  The Hayloft was perfect for a few days away.

  The hosts made us feel very welcome and we really enjoyed our stay. It was very much a family run business which shone through. We were surprised to see a lovely welcome package on our arrival. The cottage was well equipped with everything you would need and to a high standard. We enjoyed using the hot tub and towels were provided for this. The beds were very comfortable, as was the seating area in the lounge. The bedrooms were kitted out with lovely features too. There were plenty of utensils, crockery and cookware to cook there, including a gas barbecue that was ready to cook on immediately. The Hayloft is situated on a farm with parking in a gravelled area. Take a walk around the farm to see some absolutely stunning scenery. We also had a tour of the farm and stables by the owner which was amazing. We loved it so much we'd like to return ☺️☺️

  The property location is ideal, situated in the centre of the town close to all amenities.

  The streets around the property are quite narrow and so street parking at the location can be difficult. However, there is ample parking within 400 yards on the seafront at the Green. The current cost is £25 for a week + a refundable £10 at the end of your stay. This is recommended as the easiest solution. The actual property is well maintained and includes all necessary facilities. It is clean and comfortable. The local baker's shop is 20 yards away and is very well stocked. Try the sourdough bread as it is delicious. There is a general waste bin in the back and enclosed courtyard but there was no sign of any recycling bins. The owner should advise what to do in this case as we could not find any details in the file on the dining room table. Overall, this property can be highly recommended.

  Comfy beds, hot showers, lovely hot tub.

  All the condiments, tea, coffee, milk and little welcome items very much appreciated. Everything you'd need for your dog if you'd forgotten anything. Loved the walks from the doorstep - you are warned it's hilly! Saw lots of deer and other wildlife. Large sofa is v soft and u sink into it, a little odd that the wall mounted telly is so off centre but it didn't affect viewing. Would have been ideal to have some larger glasses and non-plastic pasta bowls and we did struggle to dry our swim wear, hot tub towels and wet weather gear at the same time. There is an airer in the cleaning cupboard and the wash down hut was useful! Would visit again.

  We had a lovely stay at Hen Dy! Perfect location for exploring Snowdonia with plenty of stunning walks just a short drive away. The owners are lovely and really welcoming, and made lots of suggestions of places to visit in the area. The cake in the welcome pack on arrival was delicious and very much needed after a long drive. The house was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable. The garden is a perfect suntrap to unwind in whilst listening to the birds, sheep and cows which surround it. The garden area was fully enclosed which is great for the dog! Would definitely recommend this house and hope to stay again in the future.
