Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but overall, the property is well-regarded for its home comforts and welcoming atmosphere.
The property is consistently described as spotless and clean, with only one review mentioning that better cleaning could be done under the cushions and with the microwave. The presence of old toiletries and a used sponge were noted, slightly affecting the score.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, convenience, and easy access to local amenities, including a general store and pub. The community spirit and proximity to the Menai Strait are also appreciated.
The comfort of the cottage is well-received, with mentions of comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests noted limited space due to large furniture and a lack of coat hooks, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and internet access. However, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as a tap that hardly runs, a window that won't close, and a low lock box. These issues suggest room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches beyond the provision of facilities and amenities, so it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.

Great view. Loads of parking. The property has all the things we needed. It was clean. Everything from dish cloths to Sky on the telly. Local pub serves great food. Especially happy that we could take our dog "Zero" he gives out 5 paws.

Lovely comfortable beds, but cottage could do with a little TLC. All the white goods you could need but no sharp kitchen prep knives and a few other basics, not enough crocks to run a dishwasher. Need a better cleaner, butter on chopping board, tea stains running down washing machine, crocks left in dishwasher. Old used toiletries and old soap(with hairs) left in bathroom/shower room, used washing up sponge/cloth and dried out air fresheners ! The neighbours were all lovely and showed us their rear patios, beautiful, this one is unusable, rusty and overgrown, beware large brambles if you venture out of back door !! No info booklet about how to use equipment, where to put rubbish/ recycling, heating controls, fuse boxes, emergecy doctors/hospitals/vets etc etc
