Guests say
Guests have had delightful stays at The Old Tannery, praising its excellent location in Beaumaris and the property's cleanliness and comfort. The well-equipped kitchen, modern amenities, and beautiful garden with countryside views are frequently mentioned. Some minor issues were noted, but overall experiences were very positive.
The majority of reviews highlight the property's cleanliness, with guests arriving to a clean cottage. One mention of a grimy oven suggests a slight deduction, but overall, the cleanliness is highly regarded.
The location is consistently praised for being central, quiet, and convenient, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. It's considered an excellent base for exploring the area.
Guests find the cottage cosy and warm with comfortable beds and spacious rooms. However, there are comments about an uncomfortable sofa, which suggests room for improvement in seating comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. Some issues with Wi-Fi and a lack of anti-slip mat in the shower indicate that maintenance could be enhanced.
While some guests were delighted with welcome packs, including Welsh cakes and essentials, others noted the absence of such gifts. As gifts are not consistently mentioned, it's not possible to accurately score thoughtfulness, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.
About this property
Perched in the charming location of Beaumaris on Anglesey, is this sleek single-storey, detached cottage, The Old Tannery. Welcoming four guests, The Old Tanner enjoys close proximity to a range of amenities and a beach, an enclosed garden as well as a delightful open-plan interior; the perfect base to explore all that Anglesey has to offer. Enter your new abode into the kitchen area, equipped with a great range of high-quality appliances sure to excite any budding chef; relax on the plush sofas in the warmth of a woodburning fire as your other half whips up tasty delicacies to relish at the dining table. When the weather permits, why not venture outside to delight in alfresco mealtimes and soak up the last of the sun’s rays? When the sky grows dark, retreat to a stunning family bathroom to indulge in a long soak in the bath; with the added luxury of a TV, you’re guaranteed to feel relaxed. Choose from two beautifully-appointed bedrooms including a king-size and a twin, ideal for catering to flexible sleeping arrangements, to catch your sleep in. If you can tear yourself away from this homely cottage, take a stroll into the main town of Beaumaris where you can tour the grounds of the Beaumaris Castle, immerse yourself in Victorian history at the Beaumaris Gaol and Court, or enjoy a walk along the infamous Beaumaris Pier; with Seacoast Safaris departing from the coast, you can visit Puffin Island and spend the afternoon spotting a range of marine life including seals, birds, porpoise or even dolphins. Spend the day on the sandy mounds at Llanddona Beach or visit Menai Bridge to see Pili Palas Nature World, Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens and of course, walk along the renowned Menai Suspension Bridge, a great spot to admire the surrounding views. Whether its coast or country you are seeking, experience it all from the appealing base of The Old Tannery.
The most beautiful sunrises may be seen in Beaumaris, a well-known ancient town on the Isle of Anglesey that is situated on the Menai Strait and overlooks the Snowdonia Mountain range. It is also well-known as a significant hub for sailing, with its Edward I-era mediaeval castle (now a World Heritage site) and Victorian pier, jail, and courthouse. With a long history, Beaumaris still has a lot of its original mediaeval street layout, making a fascinating place for a break at any time of year.

Pam
it was great having a garden with views over the fields and the rooms are spacious and the beds were really comfortable. HOWEVER - Wi-fi did not work at all, in spite of it being listed and this caused issues as I had planned to host a Zoom meeting. The oven was grimy, the walk-in shower could do with an anti-slip mat and there was no bleach etc. available.

This was our second stay at the tannery. Has a decent sized enclosed garden which is great for younger kids . The tannery works well as a holiday home being just a few yards from all local amenities but is very private being accessed via a vennel . Parking can be an issue but itâs not insurmountable. Beaumaris provides an excellent base to explore the area only being a couple of miles from menai bridge.
