Location and a very short walk for the beach, bars and shops. Comfy beds and nice bathrooms and bright airy living room space with lovely views.... Unpacked the car at the front of the cottage then parked by the public carpark which was 2 mins walk away....overall a great stay

Mrs Justine Dean
Carpet on stairs filthy and badly fitted coming away at end of stairs dangerous given how steep stairs were - fraying at bottom too. Two people couldn't sit settee at same time to watch tv as soil pipe in the way so had to pull settee out to be used. BBC channels don't work properly - this has been given as feedback by previous guests. Parking is difficult and expensive - not as advertised (even taking into consideration time of year) . Windows filthy inside dogs nose kids hands clearly visible. Front door rusty and looks very unattractive although works ok. Bathroom showers acceptable. Toilet had not been cleaned properly in the room to the left as you walk in and seat was loose. Windowsills dirty - not just form them being open for a few minutes before our arrival - overall just uncomfortable to stay in due to lack of cleanliness. Felt like the cleaners had gone in and looked to see what they could get away with. Glasses in cupboards greasy some had food stuck on - kettle has food splatter on side as did sink in kitchen and large bathroom had grime in sink. Beds comfy and bed linen smelt clean thankfully. We had a fabulous time in Rhosneigr and didn't let the accommodation spoil our short break but very overpriced for what you get. Would not recommend.

- No signal Also we think the batteries in the remote could have needed changing. Disappointed that there wasn't a welcome pack as advertised. On reading guest comments many other thanked the owner for the generous welcome pack !! The sink in the bathroom was virtually blocked. Best feature was the balcony with the lovely views.
