"Positives: Great location."
Great space for 3 people and the dogs.
Negatives: No ability to have a shower or bath for two nights and no compensation offered. The soil pipe from the bathroom is leaking by the back door. The WiFi code in the information pack is wrong. Sykes Cottages are the worst booking agent I’ve had to deal with (and I’m also a holiday cottage landllady). I’m mightily pleased my agents are 7000% better than Sykes.

"Strong smell of damp as soon as you open the front door, damp stains on wall in main bedroom and by dining room window, paint peeling by front door, wallpaper peeling by sofa in living room, mould on window in dining room."
Could do with some blankets as property feels very cold despite us putting the heating on.
I was very surprised by your feed back which was at odds with all other guests.
I had someone inspect the property for me and they were also bemused by
your comments. I'm saddened that you did not enjoy your stay in our much loved cottage.
Good luck with your choices in future, David.

"Lovely cottage, in a convenient location."
Very clean, tidy and well equipped.
Nice little secure courtyard, with table and chairs for alfreso dining.
Modern kitchen and bathroom. Comfy furniture throughout.
Found on-street parking every day with no problem.
The only hesitation I would have about staying here again is, as a light sleeper, the noise from early morning deliveries to the hotel opposite. From 04:45 onwards, every day, there were several vans, trucks, bin & recycling lorries arriving, with engines left running, doors opening and closing, right beneath the bedroom window.
One of the drawbacks of being in a central location I guess.

"Really cosy and characterful cottage - the pictures don’t do it justice!"
The pretty courtyard garden was a lovely surprise and got the sun till @ 3pm in April. The house was really warm and lots of hot water for baths which we really appreciated after a day working on the boat. Very close to lovely shops.
Kitchen could use a cheese grater and an oven dish. Parking beside house is meant for local shop owners (or so we were told!) so beware you could be blocked in as we were.

"Very well situated house."
Clean and comfortable. My only mild criticism is that it is described as having parking. On booking it is revealed that the parking is first come first served in a narrow dead end- there may be three spaces in a line but you wouldn’t want to be the first one in the line. In the high season this would be a problem. Otherwise the house is as advertised

"Everything about the property was great with one exception."
We thought the right hand turn at the top of the stairs we thought was a bit unsafe especially for people like us in our latter years. This could be much improved if two short rails where put on the right hand wall as you moved from the bedrooms to the bathroom. As parking is a problem we it would be helpful to let future people staying know you can get a permit tp park on the green for seven days which includes overnight. These are available from the hut on the green.

"Lovely property in a great location."
Comfortable and quiet- apart from the seagulls! Clean and good Wi-Fi. Car parking is sometimes available around the corner but we have had to park at the top of the town a few times. House could only be improved with;
1. a better, larger sofa.
2. a mechanism & instructions for heating the hot water tank.
3. a tidier garden.
Other than that it’s excellent!
Thank you for your constructive comments upon which I have acted.
The sofa has been replaced with a new, more comfortable one.
The housekeepers will regularly check the boiler to avoid future problems with the pressure.
I have peronally tidied up the garden and have arranged for it to be inspected regularly by a gardener and kept tidy .
A new patio set of tables and chairs has been provided.
I hope you will visit again,
Best wishes, David Robinson..

"Lovely house and warm comfortable stay
2 minor problems:
1 we didn’t know what to do re recycling."
There were no instructions
2. Parking. We didn’t have a problem actually but on the last day we were berated by a neighbour who said we shouldn’t have moved the traffic cones as they were needed for ambulance access. We weren’t aware of this.
Lastly the sofa was a bit uncomfortable and the bathroom blind kept breaking away from the pleats when it was raised or lowered.
Otherwise a fantastic stay thank you
Thank you for your feedback.
All the rubbish is collected, from the bin in the area at the back of the cottage, by Gaskells who are fully licenced and they undertake to sort all the rubbish and dispose of it responsibly. There was a page in the welcome book about this topic. I will ensure it is replaced.
I will ask the housekeeper to deal with the blind.
I'm sorry to hear about the neighbour's complaint; I don't understand their problem.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay.
Kind regards, David.

"Absolutely spotlessly clean ."
Lovely welcome pack and facilities ideal for our dog
Everything we needed was in walking distance
The only incorrect information was ‘street parking’
This was not always available and I imagine
would be even more difficult in the summer time
However we were able to park on the sea front for £25 for the week which was good value
We will definitely stay there again

"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.

Convenient location.
Outside area needs some TLC & new furniture - too dirty to use
The listing is not accurate/honest about car parking - tiny side street - we were lucky, most of the time, as not over-crowded in mid-September.
Need new chopping boards (& more teaspoons) in the kitchen - otherwise the equipment we used was fine - pleasing large amount of glasses & mugs!

"Great location, very central, great bakery on the street, easy access to all amenities and castle."
A nicely presented house with nice kitchen, good sized bedrooms and living room. Shower was temperamental, hard to get temperature right and not very powerful.
Sofa and chairs in living room were uncomfortable to sit for longer than a few minutes but we were out most of the time so it didn’t matter too much.
Outdoor space and furniture wasn’t very well kept so eating outside wasn’t really an option, although weather wasn’t good enough the week we were there so it didn’t matter too much.
Overall would definitely recommend.

"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.
Thank you for your feedback. We do take feedback comments very seriously.
Your comments and scores are very out of character for the property 'I am shocked and very sorry that your holiday experience did not turn out as you wanted. We offered to immediately re-attend to rectify any issues but this was declined by yourself. We brought around fresh linen as soon as we were made aware which did fit the beds as we washed the linen on your departure.
