We've stayed in Rhosneigr many times in different places and this one was disappointing. We wouldn't return to it. On arrival, it was very dusty - you could literally write your name in the dust of kitchen shelves and lamp bases - and bathrooms weren't very clean. Though I've contacted Anglesey Holiday Lettings for things like faulty wifi during stays before and found them very responsive, calling their urgent line on a weekend to have someone come round and dust a house that they've already signed off as being clean while we were there, present in the house, felt uncomfortable so I cleaned the place myself as I went along. To be fair to AHL, when I discussed this with them after our stay they said they would have been happy to send someone round.
Positives:
- Nice balcony and view
- We enjoyed the long table for big family meals
- The location was good
Negatives:
- The bedrooms are small, and the master bedroom in particular had been made an awkward space through thoughtless furniture. Instead of making the most of the space by choosing a bed with a headboard and no protruding frame at the bottom, the bed has an unnecessary chunky, heavy cornered end to it which meant I had to turn to the side and edge past it.
- The master bed was incredibly creaky. We had some terrible nights of sleep.
- Doors and floors were all creaky
- Everything felt a bit meagre. The sofas weren't especially comfortable. Pillows were the thinnest I've ever slept on. The carpet was as thin as it gets. Just not much comfort. Given there's only one living area for lots of people, it would have been nice to sometimes escape into a comfortable bedroom.
- There needs to be a bit of investment in the furniture. It was all quite cheap. How much can you pick a lamp up for, £10? Lamps had broken shades which just felt unnecessarily cheap. Coat hangers were scarce and scrawny. The kitchen clock needs batteries, one of the sofa arms was coming apart a bit, the lamp for the dinner table didn't work so it was just bright overhead spots. The shoe rack by the front door was useless; it was so flimsy that shoes just fell off it. It was just all a bit lazy.
- The freezer needed de-icing.
- The fridge is very small for a house of 8. We found a fridge in the utility area which would have been helpful but it didn't work.
- The small teal sofa was stained.
- There was no big pan for a house of 8 so we were cooking potatoes and pasta in a wok.
All in all, a bit of thought needs to be put into this property.
