Shirley “The Outbuildings was the perfect location for a large family get together!”
Snooker Table and Tennis Court gave hours of entertainment. The layout of the barn was spot on! Plenty of space for our grandchildren to run around! We would definitely recommend this place and would return. We were extremely lucky to see Snowdon in its full glory from the Barn! How lucky were we! This holiday home is a credit to the owners.
- Shirley, September 2024Sue “An amazing house !”
! So well appointed They’d thought of everything Never been in such a lovely holiday house over all our years Loved it
- Sue, August 2024Colin “A great stay again, the tennis court and snooker table were both popular.”
It was very clean and comfortable. The only slight niggle was the lack of outside drying facility which would have been a boon for wet beach towels.
- Colin, August 2024Penny “Loved the house and gardens.”
It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. Plenty of room for our large group. Bags of room to cook for our large party plenty of crockery utensils and everything else. Bbq was great too Snooker tennis court and huge TV for us all to gather around
- Penny, May 2024Julie “Lovely welcome pack ,quick reply to any text .”
Great size for party of 14 .
- Julie, April 2024Geoff “What a fantastic house - the best we've ever stayed in - and we've stayed in a few - everyone in our group said the same thing.”
A beautifully restored set of outbuildings on a lovely farm, in calm, peaceful settings with spectacular views.
- Geoff, February 2024Nicky “Great home for a big group.”
Snooker table & tennis court perfect additions. Had a lovely week. Plenty of equipment, beds & pillows very comfy. House a little cold on the first day but warmed up nicely.
- Nicky, February 2024Susan “We had a fabulous week at the Outbuildings celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary with family and friends.”
Lots of room for everyone. The mezzanine floor with the snooker table was especially popular. Highly recommended. Thanks to Millie and Jack for the generous welcome hamper.
- Susan, November 2023Mark “We loved the house and it was perfect for our group of 14 including two teenagers.”
The snooker table was a real bonus and we played for hours. It really needs a light above the table to be able to play easily at night. And we thought speakers linked to the sound system downstairs would be good as we couldn’t hear our music when we were playing snooker. None of these were faults, it was all 5* but thought you’d be interested in our thoughts. Faultless and we’re likely to book again.
- Mark, October 2023Michael “Hi, Firstly many thanks for allowing us to stay at the Outbuildings as we had a great week.”
The setting and building were very special but there are a few things that would hopefully improve it for future customers. Little things like bulbs not working, a couple of issues with showers, high up cobwebs that could easily be cleaned, a check on utensil cleanliness, an exchange library maybe. An in depth check of all areas in between visits to ensure everything will meet customer expectations is essential for customer satisfaction. Having said the above, which I admit are very minor issues, they do count in a customer focused business. All in all our stay was very good and I've have no problem with recommending the outbuildings to others. Best regards Mike
- Michael, September 2023Colin “The Outbuildings were furnished to a very high standard with nice touches of decoration.”
There was a snooker table in the games area, which was very popular and the tennis court outside was a great facility. The kitchen was well equipped with two ovens and large induction hob. Plenty of fridge space. We loved it and have booked for next year.
- Colin, August 2023We are so glad that you had a lovely holiday! We look forward to welcoming you again next year! Property Owner
Pamela “This was a fantastic space for our family holiday which included small children .”
My only suggestion would be to incude child friendy plates and cups .
- Pamela, August 2023So glad you had a lovely week. Thank you for your feedback, we’ll look to add some Child friendly plates and cups as soon as possible. Property Owner
Charles “An excellent week.”
Great views and plenty of space. Well placed for visits to all parts of Anglesey The owners responded to our needs. We made a few minor suggestions to which they responded. Weather mixed, but we can't control that!
- Charles, July 2023We are glad you enjoyed your week! We hope to see you again soon! Property Owner
Carol “Lovely place.”
Another 2 chopping boards would be helpful in the kitchen.
- Carol, June 2023We are glad you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for the feedback, we have added more chopping boards to the kitchen! Property Owner

- Michael, March 2023Shirley “The outbuildings is a fabulous place to stay the beds are so comfortable and the building is fabulous.”
All bathrooms have a soap and toilet rolls and there are two towels on the bed for every person. For me personally i found the lounge sofas slightly uncomfortable but i do find it hard to find many issues millie and her husband were fabulous and helped with any issues we had at record speed xxx
- Shirley, December 2022Andrew “Overall fantastic place with great facilities and available space.”
Only ask is for availability of full waste recycling - only glass was an option, which meant we brought other cans, tins and plastics home.
- Andrew, October 2022Sally “The Outbuildings are lovely.”
The owners made us feel very at home with a lovely welcome pack on arrival. It was warm and comfortable just as described. Very well equipped, we were able to cater for 10 easily. Would definitely recommend and look forward to more family gatherings there in the future.
- Sally, October 2022Andrew “One word - OUTSTANDING !”
- Andrew, September 2022We are so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the lovely feedback! Property Owner
Sarah “We loved the property.”
It’s a fabulous space for a big group. The garden and tennis court were a big hit. And the inside is brilliant for cooking, eating and relaxing. Our only complaint is that the windows could have been cleaned.
- Sarah, August 2022Thank you for your feedback and we are glad you had an enjoyable stay. We have a window cleaner that comes once a month, and will make sure that a deeper clean is done on their next visit! Property Owner
Elinor “Quiet and spacious property where we were all able to relax.”
Great location close to best beach on Anglesey! Facilities available were appreciated and enabled a large group to spread out as well as get together. Pool table, BBQ and tennis court were a bonus. Many thanks for a lovely welcome basket, much appreciated. We enjoyed our time there very much. We participated in a rib ride which was fantastic and the Velocity 2 zip wire which was exhilarating. The Oyster Catch restaurant lived up to it's reputation and recommend. Most of all we enjoyed the natural beauty of Wales, the misty mountains, stunning sunsets and sandy beaches, no we didn't want to leave.

- Gary, June 2022Zoe “Lovely spacious property.”
A real bonus to have en-suite bathrooms throughout and plenty of outdoor space too. An ideal property for larger gatherings. Great access beaches, visit gardens or heading over to Snowdonia. Highly recommended. A special mention must go to The Gaerwen Arms for exceptional food and exceptional service, 10 mins away.
- Zoe, May 2022Sandra “An amazing barn!”
Had everything we needed and more. Clean, spacious and the perfect venue to celebrate our 35th Wedding Anniversary. Owners really friendly and helpful and the welcome pack and cake were wonderful. Thank you so much x
- Sandra, May 2022Sally “8/15 April The Outbuildings is a fabulous house in a beautiful situation close to all amenities.”
So well equipped with everything we needed. Beautiful bed linen and towels and spotlessly clean. The very generous welcome basket was most appreciated We had a wonderful week thanks to Millie, Jack and there team. Hope to back.
- Sally, April 2022Chiara “The Outbuildings proved to be even better than the descriptions and photos showed it to be.”
Millie and Jack were prompt and helpful. Great, quiet location. Yet not far from most places on and off Anglesey. The house was spotless, very well equipped and perfect for family and/or friends stays. It has been added to our “must return” list!
- Chiara, April 2022Pat “A really beautiful property, the owners have thought of everything that guests would need.”
We had plenty of space for a large group of friends to eat and drink together after a days walking. just a shame that we weren't able to recycle more of our waste. Would highly recommend a stay at The Outbuildings.
- Pat, March 2022Thank you very much for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed The Outbuildings. All of our waste is recycled, our commercial waste company sort this for us, which saves our customers the hassle of sorting it themselves. Property Owner

Millie and her husband were very lovely and their pups too. House was huge and we had everything we needed inside which was very useful as our stay started with huge storms. Lots of things to do and see near by. Lovely to have a yummy piece of cake on arrival too, Thank you both.
- Deborah, February 2022Craig “What a fabulous property!”
Spacious, spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. The annual family gathering was a great success and not one complaint or suggestion was made. Millie was on hand to offer a warm welcome, advice & guidance and even popped over with herbs to overt a culinary disaster!!! We will return and highly recommend the outbuildings to those wishing to kick back and relax in luxury. Thank you to all of the team @the outbuildings.
- Craig, January 2022Jack “The Outbuildings is an amazing property, with great facilities and fantastic views.”

We had an amazing weekend, the large cottage had everything that we wanted, the owners had thought of absolutely everything. We will definitely be booking to go again.
- Christian, November 2021Helen “What an amazing place to stay.”
From start to finish Millie was helpful and answered all my questions of which there were a lot! We booked for a large 50th celebration with family and friends and two dogs. You would be hard pushed to find fault with the house. Spotlessly clean, extremely well equipped and fantastically comfortable beds, everything was brilliant. The gardens and tennis court were a huge added bonus. It really felt a luxurious place to stay. We cannot say enough about this property, it really made the weekend one to remember. Thank you again Millie

- Cecilia, May 2021Jason “Oh we had a brilliant time here, in fact I think it may have spoiled us!”
Two large lounges, snooker table(with space to play - even had spare chalk and cue tips), tennis court and lovely views at the back. The bedrooms are all large and comfortable in fact everything was larger than I expected. We only stayed for a week in May and I still miss everything about the place - including the pet robot mower! Thanks for a smashing time! Tip: If you have bikes then Newborough forest is a must!
