Guests say
Guests have praised Craig Mawr for its cleanliness, comfort, and the presence of local wildlife. The cottage is well-equipped and offers a peaceful stay in a quiet area, with easy access to beaches and the rest of the island. Some minor issues were noted, but overall, the property is highly recommended and provides good value for money.
The property is generally described as very clean, with one guest noting immaculate conditions. However, a slight deduction is made due to a single mention of finding a cobweb and some dust.
The location is appreciated for its quietness and proximity to local beaches and wildlife, although one review suggests it is a bit out of the way, which may affect convenience for some guests.
The cottage is consistently described as cosy and comfortable, with comfortable beds and couches, contributing to a pleasant stay.
Facilities are generally praised, with the property being well-equipped and maintained. However, one guest had difficulty with the TV and heating instructions, indicating a possible need for clearer guidance.
While the owners' thoughtfulness is implied through the provision of essentials upon arrival, as this is not a consistent theme across the reviews, it is not possible to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Local shops and amenities not far and beach is about 10 minutes away. This is home away from home and the surroundings are tranquil. Will definitely return

The owners had left us a couple of essentials upon arrival, which was a lovely touch. The only slightly negative opinion, would be that the cleanliness of the property could improve slightly. I found a cobweb in the bathroom and the windowsills and a few of the wooded surfaces in the dining room were very gritty/dusty. Other than that, a perfect stay and would definitely return to stay again.

Would certainly recommend this property to anyone and would consider returning in the future if we stayed in Anglesey.
