The area suffers from extensive boarded up properties on all sides. Outside, the pavement is cluttered with household waste and recycling bins, trade waste bins and broken fridges/freezers from the neighbouring boarded up premises. The property overlooks the station sidings, resulting in a feeling that your staying in an industrial setting. To the rear of the property, the bedroom window overlooks a small yard that really detracts from the property. The predominance of spiked railings and barbed wire meant we kept the blinds firmly close. It's close to the town centre, but unfortunately this too is suffering from the economic downturn. We stayed for three nights and used the appartment as a base to explore wider. For a short stay, and as a base, it was ok.
Hi Bryan,
Thanks for your feedback and some points you've raised.
I've attached a few points as some information you've provided is false or exaggerated.
Ref boarded up buildings - there's only one building attached to the apartments and that's under refurbishment, its also not boarded up there is no residential properties after that.
Ref bins - your stayed coincided with bin collection, in the welcome book it shows the dates and we ask politely if the guests will place them on pavement- you didn't so we sent the maintenance team to do so, and placed them in the bin storage the next day. Ref the spiked rails- that's because its a bank! unfortunately they have additional security which is understandable.
As you said the apartment is perfect as a base, Holyhead also is a lovely town with many things to do there's amazing coastal paths you can walk to, the Marina is 5 mins away. For low budget accommodation i feel this really is a good option.
Please come again and we'll arrange for some places to see you may have missed.
