Oscar's Pad in Anglesey is a well-received cottage, praised for its comfort, secure garden, and thoughtful touches. Guests appreciate the property's cleanliness, cosy atmosphere, and the convenience of its location for exploring the area. The well-equipped kitchen and the presence of a welcoming pub nearby are frequently mentioned. While there are some minor concerns about maintenance and comfort preferences, the overall sentiment is highly positive, with many guests planning to return.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy, with many guests noting the property's well-kept state. There was a single mention of a cleanliness issue regarding pet stains, but this seems to be an isolated incident and was addressed by the guests themselves.
The location is generally praised for its convenience to local amenities and attractions, with a pub, shop, and takeaway nearby. It is also noted as a good base for exploring Anglesey. However, one review mentioned the village shop's poor quality, and another found the location less attractive, slightly affecting the score.
Guests find the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, with a secure garden that is appreciated by dog owners. Some guests, however, had specific preferences regarding mattresses and sofa cushions, which suggests comfort levels may vary among guests.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a particularly well-received kitchen. However, there are mentions of maintenance issues such as a wasp nest, tricky stairs, and difficulty operating the heated towel rail. These small issues suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs and dog treats. While these gestures are highly appreciated, it is important to note that such extras, although delightful, may not be guaranteed for every stay.
