The Grain Store

• "The Grain Store is OK."

  I would say it could be improved with a makeover - new grout, new furniture, lick of paint etc. It's not in bad shape but feels rather tired. Whilst it wasn't expensive for the area, I was left feeling I'd slightly overpaid for the tired state of everything.

• "A compact but practical cottage suitable for a short stay."

  Abersoch and all the local amenities are only a short walk away. The kitchen had everything we needed to be able to eat in when we wanted, the bed was comfortable, the shower was perfectly adequate, the view from the kitchen was gorgeous and it was so quiet.

• "A perfect, peaceful place to stay with an amazing view and privacy to enjoy."

  Our hosts Malcolm and Fran went above and beyond to help us during our stay, after our car broke down and we had to extend our stay. 10 minutes to an a wonderful beach and central to visit surrounding areas. Will definitely be back.

• "The Grain Store was in a perfect position for our stay in Abersoch."

  It is approximately 15-20 minutes walk from the town which was not a problem for us. The cottage is traditional and very comfortable.

• "We had a great time at The Grainstore."

  It is a lovely, cosy property with stunning views in all directions. Who doesn’t like cooking with sea views?? The property is small but airy and was thoroughly enjoyed by us all, 3 adults and two Labradors. The facilities and position were excellent as it’s only a short walk into Abersoch for beaches, restaurants and shops.

  The views are fantastic. All the facilities you want are there, including smart TV. It’s about 15 mins walk to the town, Abersoch is lovely if a little pricey (can recommend Crust for pizza, 10 mins down the hill.

  Only feedback from a mobility prospective front step was a little high and stairs up from kitchen a little hard to navigate for elderly. A second rail would have helped. Great base to access to all the area with amazing views highly recommend.

  It was well equipped and cosy. The location is good, only a short distance out of Abersoch and in easy reach of some lovely beaches around the Llyn Peninsula.

• "We all had a lovely stay at the grain store."

  Great location & in walking distance of Abersoch ( steep hill walking back) so may be unsuitable for elderly. The owners live next door in the farm house, but it doesn’t feel too intrusive, plus they are at hand if you were to need them. The cottage had everything you need, including a dishwasher/washer & tumble dryer which was really handy! The only improvement I can suggest, is that the bathroom/shower room could do with an upgrade, it’s very old/worn looking.

• "Disappointed with the cleanliness on arrival, had to clean some area's ourselves, although the hoover and mop where extremely dirty."

  Couldn't get the front door to lock which meant we had to leave the property unlocked when going out.

  Sorry you were unable to lock the front door, on investigation we discovered that the lock was a little stiff when loking from the outside but locked easily from the inside. This has now been rectified. We use a cleaning firm to do our changeovers and this is the first complaint we've had this season. We had done a quick visual check before your arrival and seen nothing obviously amiss. We have also contacted the cleaners to see if there had been any problems and they said not. It would be helpful to know which areas were a problem to ensure it doesn't recur. Property Owner

• "Great little find!"

  It was spotlessly clean. Very cosy. The double bed mattress was super super soft- so may not suit some folk. The single beds were firmer so that fixed that problem!!

• "The cottage has a superb view from the kitchen and lounge windows."

  It was very peaceful and spacious for two people. Although there is no enclosed garden for exercising your dog, there is a grassed area just outside the back door which we found more than adequate. The decked area outside the lounge door has a gate at the bottom of the ramp making it secure and dog safe. The cottage contains everything needed for self catering including a full sized fridge/ freezer. We will certainly return to this lovely place and area.

• "S accommodation was perfectly adequate."

  The linen was clean and the beds comfortable. The mattress was a tad too soft for me, but that’s just me! Due to COVID, there was no paper info etc about the area, or board games and the like. The Freeview TV was ok. I’d suggest bringing a fire stick or some DVDs perhaps? The WiFi was found using through using 2 routers, depending on where you were in the small building, which was interesting. Download a few films maybe? The whole was fine and I would come back to if, but it just needs a little more tlc to make it great. The kitchen could do with an upgrade and the whole place broadcast it was a holiday let, smell included. We had our dog; there is a garden but it’s not enclosed, just for info. There are some beautiful photographs of the local scenery, on the walls. It is what it is. It is good value and as I said, I would come back.

• "Well where do I start."

  It is a shame that this property had not been maintained and cared for as the location was stunning. The outside area was poor with overgrown shrubbery, a patio which had with dirty chairs and so much dirt and grime just awful and unusable ( advertised full use of). The cottage inside was well worn and grubby especially the kitchen; a cooker with no dial controls, food deposits down the side, wooden spoons when wet were slimy due to their age, rusty old cooking tins and a first aid kit with no contents ( advertised full use of). Dispite being told of the extra cleaning procedures due to Covid-19 we found this property to be well below standard. Standards should be of the highest quality at at all times paying customers expect.

• "Abersoch is great, lots of good walking and the most fabulous beaches and views."

  We would definitely return. Plenty of eating and drinking choices whilst still retaining a village feel. Dog owners note many parts of coastal path require dog on a lead due to farmland abutting. But lots of off-lead opportunities and dog friendly sections of the beaches. The Grain Store is about 10 mins downhill walk into the centre of Abersoch. Its perfectly adequate for a weeks stay with a quirky lay-out and clean enough where it matters. Comfy beds. We were supposed to get an e-mail in advance from owners which never came, don't know why, but we missed the fact that no towels are provided - perhaps this should be clear in the property details? But not to worry, bath towels were offered to help us out when I asked, just a stress you dont need on arrival. Ramp to front door, but be aware there are a few steep steps to kitchen/bathroom if you have difficulties. No welcome pack provided but that didnt worry us - Asda in Pwhelli and large Londis in the village. Owners have field adjacent and we were permitted to use this for the dog, useful in a morning! Otherwise there is a small section of grass outside the back door. A very enjoyable week.

  The owners are very pleasant and helpful. The accommodation is compact but caters for most with a fully equipped kitchen. The weather was fantastic so we spent most of our time outside. Area for improvement would be the lounge which has only small windows. The property would greatly benefit from the installation of French doors letting in more light and giving the room access to those wonderful views.
