Guests say
Rhyd Angharad Barns is a contemporary holiday property with stunning views and a peaceful location. Guests appreciate the modern amenities, comfortable beds, and the proximity to both countryside and coastline. While some guests mention issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the overall experience is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Cleanliness has been noted as an issue by some guests, with reports of dog mess in the garden, dust, cobwebs, and a dirty BBQ. However, others have found the property spotless, indicating inconsistency in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views, quiet setting, and proximity to local attractions such as Church Bay and a nearby pub. The blend of countryside and coastline offers a tranquil retreat.
Comfort is generally well-received, with comfortable beds and a warm, well-heated property. However, some guests find the low lounge furniture challenging, particularly for older visitors, which affects the overall comfort rating.
Facilities are modern and generally appreciated, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as broken blinds, a lack of shower options, and garden furniture needing improvement. The presence of a well-equipped kitchen and good pressure in the shower are positives.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as it relates to gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. While some guests mention bringing their own items such as candles and Nespresso pods, there is no mention of gifts being provided.

Caroline
Many positives. Lovely location spectacular views very well appointed kitchen all appliances working etc. What I feel it could benefit from: oven gloves, sweeping brush (long handle) and egg cups . The sofa albeit a very expensive designer piece itâs now time to replace. Itâs designed for looks and not comfort. Itâs also starting to split and it is heavily stained and does smell a bit. The chairs in the kitchen/dinning are also in need of replacing. They are sagging when you sit on them. Overall it was hard to find anywhere to sit and relax comfortably in this property. The outside seating was far more comfortable. I would say this is marketed at high end I would have expected better quality pillows and bedding. (Asda, budget pillows, synthetic bedroom rugs) The mattress in the double bedroom (non floating) may also now need replaced. It has 2 toppers and itâs still not that comfy. I would also keep in mind this location is very rural and you need to factor that into your daily driving. Once you get your bearings there is a pub a short stroll away but it doesnât seem to do food and is limited opening (September) which may be seasonal. We dinned at the lobster Pot that was lovely and I would recommend this. The cafe at the beach is also very good although only open certain days. There is so much to do and see in the area and surrounds. For example we spent a lovely day at the Hidden Garden (lunch was a rip off £2.50 for a can of juice and soup and a sandwich £12.95 literally two prices of bread with a slice of ham ) take your own sandwich or eat in the actual town as there is a lot of lovely cafes worth trying. There are lots of beaches to explore and the national park etc. we were very fortunate with the weather. Overall we had a pleasant experience visiting Wales.

The house was clean & well equipped and had everything we needed. Basics left like oil, S&P, spices, tea & coffee, washing up liquid, cloth, tea towels &:scrubbers. Has a Nespresso coffee machine so take pods. Beds were super comfortable. Loved the way it was all set out. Nice big fridge and freezer. A pleasant walk to the local beach and lots of lovely walks from the house. Pub down the road for drinks. Will definitely go again. We all loved it. Cafe in the village Thursday to Sunday.

A beautiful property just as advertised. Very comfortable accommodation with everything you would need. Very well maintained and immaculate both inside and out. Great views across to Holyhead and the Irish Sea. Only thing that could be improved is the WiFi in the barn. Signal is not particularly strong and if streaming TV there is a lot of buffering/lagging
