John
Comfortable and clean. Welcoming host Ian, and Bara brith was a welcome addition. Ian was always on hand but not intrusive and had some good chats. Great location, in Bangor in a couple of minutes from property, but in a quiet village if you want the peace. Great base for visiting Anglesey and beyond. Three minutes from Menai bridge.

Also the doors seemed to require repainting as knots in the wood were bleeding through the thin paintwork. A few suggestions come to mind also to help future occupiers would start with a list of where things are placed, when do the waste bins get collected and other such basic items. Also why not provide a few comforts like some washing up liquid, kitchen towel, a few tea bags etc, etc as having to go straight out after arriving to do a second lot of shopping is not a very good promotional advert for the place. Leaving a large cake also didn't help as we are both diabetic and it was wasted unfortunately. I won't go any further as I think I have said enough
