Guests say
Gwelfor Barn is highly praised for its stunning views, spaciousness, and excellent facilities, including a warm indoor pool and well-equipped kitchen. The property is ideal for multi-generational family gatherings, offering comfort and a variety of local activities. While some minor maintenance issues and cleanliness points are noted, the overall experience is memorable and guests frequently express a desire to return.
Most guests found the property to be clean and well-maintained, though there were isolated comments about dust, dead insects, and forgotten laundry. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule, indicating high standards of cleanliness with room for minor improvements.
The location is consistently lauded for its fabulous views and proximity to coastal paths and local attractions. It's described as idyllic and perfect for both active and peaceful stays, contributing to the property's high appeal.
Guests report the property as comfortable, with special mentions of cosy living spaces and comfortable beds. Some guests noted the property could be too warm at night and suggested adjustments to the heating, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
The facilities, especially the swimming pool, are a highlight for many guests. However, some maintenance issues such as non-working light bulbs, a loose towel holder, and a problematic door lock were reported. These issues suggest that while facilities are generally excellent, there is a need for more consistent maintenance checks.
While the reviews reflect a high level of satisfaction with the property's offerings, there is insufficient information regarding specific thoughtful gestures such as gifts to accurately assess this category. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
About this property
Beaumaris 3.6 miles.
Gwelfor Barn is an outstanding Eco barn conversion in one of the most breath-taking positions in the south-eastern corner of Anglesey and offers an exceptional self-catering experience with captivating countryside and sea views.
Part of 3 Barns sleeping up to 10 guests, Gwelfor Barn is a great find for groups of friends and families seeking to explore this majestic part of Wales, to use as a base to celebrate a special occasion or to simply relax and enjoy the boutique interior of this property, making a truly tranquil retreat to enjoy all year around. After admiring your surroundings, step into the sitting/dining room, where the tall floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed feature window allows natural light to flood into the space, providing stunning sea views from the comfort of the sofa, with the woodburning stove crackling in the background. Flick on the 4k Smart TV for more relaxed evenings or regroup with all your loved ones at the formal dining table, where meals, drinks, board games and general catch-up time can be enjoyed. From here you will discover the kitchen, where a range of quality appliances have been wonderfully arranged in a contemporary assortment, inviting you in to rustle up home-cooked meals, as well as a central island unit providing ample preparation space. Younger guests of the group will be delighted by the snug, which is located just off the kitchen and boasts another Smart TV with the added luxury of a PlayStation 3. Concluding the ground floor are three immaculate bedrooms, comprising of an impressive super-king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a king-size double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a twin bedroom, each one enjoying plush furnishings and beds draped in white linens, so sleeping is sure to come easy here.
Continuing to impress, the master suite can be found up the staircase, boasting a sumptuous super-king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath, allowing you to choose how best to prepare for your day.
Grandparents or those seeking peace away from the rest of the main group will be delighted by the annexe-style wing of the house, which contains an open-plan living room with a kitchen area, a dining area and a sitting area, and is completed by a king-size bedroom with an en-suite. During balmy evenings, take your beverage outdoors onto the huge decked area to admire the sea views and catch the final glimpses of sunshine, or allow your canine companions to stretch their legs on the private meadow, which sits to the front of the property and direct access to the coastal path. Arguably the most impressive feature of this property is the superb UV indoor heated swimming pool, where hours of family fun are guaranteed, providing a great way to while away a couple of hours on a rainy day. If you can tear yourself away from this wonderful abode, head into the nearby seaside town of Beaumaris, where you will find a range of places to eat, from tapas to takeaways, and fine dining restaurants to traditional pub grub, you are certain to find something to suit all tastes here, as well as shops for picking up any essentials.
Immerse yourself in the local history by visiting Beaumaris Castle before heading to the shoreline, where you will find opportunities for boat trips and fishing. Alternatively, travel along the coast northwards to spend time at Red Wharf Bay, an extensive area of fine sand covering nearly 10 square miles, where you are promised an abundance of birdlife, such as purple sandpipers, curlew and shelduck.
Other attractions within this part of Wales include travelling to the beautiful Newborough Beach and Newborough Forest with walking and cycling trails, visiting the railway station at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll and getting a picture with the famous village name sign, or crossing the bridge to explore the majestic wonder of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park.
Bring your loved ones to Gwelfor Barn to share an unforgettable holiday in Anglesey.

Property is amazing and the pool is an added bonus. There is plenty of room and the view is amazing! Would definitely recommend this property and we will be looking at booking again in the future.

The house was large enough for our family of 8 adults and 2 babies (and a dog!) and we felt that each couple had space and privacy, while also having room to be togehter for meals and games. Our only minor concern was the wardrobe space and the window covering in the master suite, which did not match the quality of furnishings in other rooms. We made the most of the spacious decking and the pool, which definately provided much-needed room for our little ones to burn some energy. We felt very sad to leave and would love to return at some point. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely house!

Part of the decking had been left sticking up when laid and was dangerous with four young children running round. As reported to Sykes we had a number of maintenance issues the pool door lock, curtain rail coming down and the pool cholrine level. Just some suggestions. With children visiting you could do with a play area in the meadow or somewhere. The blinds and curtains in the bedrooms need looking at as they didn't block out the light in some rooms.
