Ty Coed

On arrival we found the front door hard to open and even harder to close, we had to lift it in order for it to latch.

The downstairs had an unpleasant musty smell, and we found a crisp packet stuck to the pedal bin lid in the kitchen and bits of food on the table. Upstairs was brighter, although there was an issue with the door to the back bedroom. The door only opened half way and then caught on the ceiling beam, this could have caused a tumble as there are two small steps down into the bedroom. However it would not have spoiled our holiday, the cottage is situated well, and is a 10 minute stroll down to the town, with plenty of places to eat, and very handy for travelling to lovely beaches nearby. The cottage would benefit from a thorough maintenance check. Unfortunately we had to leave after 3 days due to a family issue at home.

We had a lovely stay and there is everything you need for a short stay.

However there is quite a few stains on the carpets and the little outside area off the living room is a bit of an eye sore. Also a slight damp smell coming from that area.

Lovely little cottage in the town of Beaumaris.

Well appointed and clean. Last minute booking that did not disappoint. Stairs were very steep but fine for us. Dog friendly and a good base for exploring Anglesey Would not hesitate staying there again Nice waterfront and castle in the town enough little shops to mooch in and a few pubs

Cottage smelt damp, mould on walls and wardrobe in main bedroom.

Standard of cleaning less than expected, cobwebs on beams, dirty skirting boards, side of fridge. Shower leaked through ceiling, because of perished seal. Positive points; sweets, cakes, milk provided thank you. Location was perfect and we enjoyed the log fire. Comfortable and clean bedding, lounge furniture was also comfortable.

I cannot recommend this property enough, cozy, clean, well appointed and an excellent location

We enjoyed our stay, the only problem was we were told that there was building work nearby, it was next door,we had no problem with that apart from the skip and 5 vans parked outside making it impossible to park during the working day.

Otherwise it's was lovely accommodation.

Well equiped .

..would have been nice to have had a garden to sit out in ..there was no rear garden and we couldn't sit in the front garden as there was a house being renovated next door

A very nice property , very comfortable and cosy , pity no garden to sit in but not a problem.

Better information on Rubbish disposal would be helpful - no black bin. Tony was very helpfull and polite thanks ! Distance to Town just right . We would stay again . Thanks to all, K. B. Hall

**Review of Ty Coed Cottage, Beaumaris, Anglesey** Ty Coed is a charming and warm cottage, ideally located for exploring the beautiful island of Anglesey and within walking distance of Beaumaris.

Its quaint and old-world appeal sets the tone for a relaxing getaway, and the convenient location is perfect for those looking to immerse themselves in the local scenery and attractions. However, despite its charm, Ty Coed was unfortunately let down by several issues that need addressing. The most noticeable was the poor cleaning standards: there was mould on the windows and shower, and the towels were stained, yellowed and marked, which made them feel unclean and in need of replacement. The bedding was stored in plastic bags in a mould filled cupboard or under the bed, the cutlery drawers in the kitchen could do with a deep clean, and so on. Additionally, we were greeted with rotting flowers in a vase on the windowsill with stagnant, smelly water—a rather unpleasant first impression. The shower door was stiff and difficult to close, making showering a cumbersome task. We also encountered a more serious safety issue with sharp carpet tacks protruding from the carpet; both my son and I stepped on them, resulting in unpleasant shocks. The guest book provided in the cottage felt outdated and hadn’t been updated in quite some time. It included inaccurate information, such as the promise of complimentary Nespresso capsules, which were not provided, and incorrect instructions for filling the outdoor bins. These discrepancies added to the overall sense that the property is not being maintained to the standard one would expect. Finally, the description of Ty Coed mentioned the opportunity to “sit outside and watch the world go by,” which was a key selling point for us. However, this was misleading, as the outdoor space is entirely occupied by bins, leaving no area for sitting or enjoying the outdoors. While Ty Coed has the potential to be a lovely holiday retreat, these issues significantly detracted from our stay. With improved cleanliness, maintenance, and more accurate descriptions, this cottage could truly live up to its potential. For now, though, it falls short of the charming escape it promises to be.

Guest book - previous guests kept referring to excellent "Welcome Pack", presumably from a previous owner of the cottage.

Our only Welcome Pack was the starter pack of logs for the fire. General appearance and condition of the cottage was pleasing although closer inspection revealed cracked ceiling in the kitchen (a piece of the ceiling fell onto my partner's head!), wallpaper coming off the wall in a few places, tired sealant in the bathroom and shower, heavy dust on the lamp in living room. No shaver socket, which is unusual nowadays. No cupboard storage for food. The bags for dirty laundry mentioned in the Visitors Guide were not present. Never got the hang of the woodburner and because of no instruction, it was a struggle to burn the thicker logs. All the appliances worked well and the furniture and beds were comfortable. The shower worked well. TV and WiFi work perfectly. Kitchen was bright, clean and modern. Carpets were in excellent and clean condition - so there is PLENTY of good news! It was noted that the property was up for sale which possibly explains some of the flaws. Sorry if it sounds like nitpicking but a little more attention to detail would go a long way. Nevertheless a troublefree stay.

We had a lovely relaxing stay at Ty Coed.

The cottage was very clean, warm, beautifully kept and had everything we needed. Thank you very much and we hope to stay with you again.

I felt the pictures on the Website were deceiving as it said there was outside space for a dog and this was tiny and couldn't be used.

The cleanness was awful my friend found black bugs in the bed and I also seen them all upstairs plus when stripping the bed on the final day there was no mattress protector and the mattress which I had been sleeping on for 4 nights was stained and filthy.

A very comfortable, tidy and well located cottage.

Ideal for a couple. We were able to easily park outside for the duration of our stay. It is an easy walk into Beamaris where there are good places to eat and drink. Would use the cottage again and there were no significant problems. An enjoyable stay.

a nice comfortable house no problems, just a shame there is not a small back garden to sit out in the sun with, at the back of the place, but not a big problem.

We found the cottage to be clean, comfortable and cosy.

The heating was on a timer so we didn’t need to worry about it, it was warm when we needed it. There was everything we could have needed. There is a pod coffee maker but no cafetière, that would be useful, not a problem though as we brought our own with us. There was a very generous welcome pack which had been thoughtfully provided. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend for a couple or two friends, or two siblings as we were.

Wonderful holiday cottage!

We stayed at the end of October and had a lovely time. The cottage is comfortable and cosy, we loved the wood burning stove in the lounge. It was clean and tidy on arrival, with a thoughtful welcome pack. We had all the amenities we could need, and was useful to be able to park outside easily - much easier than we've had previously staying further along the main street. It was an easy walk to the lovely shops and restaurants in Beaumaris, and was a great spot to explore the island from. Thanks for a great stay!

When you enter the property it smells of damp in the lounge.

The double bedroom had no bulb for the main wall light. Parking, although on the street was ok, even if we couldn't park in front of the property there was usually plenty of room. The heating was very efficient. The lounge could do with a stronger light for reading. It was a good base for exploring Anglesey!

Comfortable cottage, well equipped & well located.

We always have a great time on Anglesey.

Sykes properties are of a high standard and usually very clean (the last two were spotlessly clean), but whilst we enjoyed our latest stay Ty Coed wasn't up to the cleanliness standards we have experienced before. Best if we explain. The PROS: beds were very clean, the kitchen was clean, (apart from green mould growing on a chopping board inside a cupboard), the owner didn't check before we moved in; can't have done, she was there when we arrived! The bathrooms were clean. But, the living room definitely smells of dog/dogs. We hate covers on furniture and the carpet in there smells of dogs. There was thick dust on all the stair bannisters, lots of cobwebs on the ceiling beams, over the fire, some with dead insects hanging in them. The exterior window sills at both front and back were dirty. The tiny backyard is filthy, (covered in fallen detritus) with a dog bowl full of green water, broken sticks, lots of cobwebs full of insects, some mud and dirt and the windowsills were totally covered with dirt and tree debris. The wicker draws in the bedroom, once pulled out revealed, uh, grime dirt and thick black dust. The front door sticks very badly and my wife could not lock or open it. In fact, it needs a UVPc guy out to service it! Having had this problem ourselves, at home I know that this will eventually catch guests out when the shot bolts go. The handle is so stiff its hard to open and lock, very hard. The bedroom door catches on a ceiling beam and needs a few millimetres plaining off it. Going toilet in the night could be tricky for someone with a disability (the front door definitely would be an issue). It gives us no pleasure to mention all this, but at £830 for the week we expected much, much better! The dirt and other issues mentioned looked to have been there for weeks, some months, not days, so it does need a proper deep clean in the aforementioned areas. Rest assured we won't stay at Ty Coed again! And have several pictures of all these dirty areas as well!

On arrival at ty Coed cottage we were met by Jane who gave us information on the local area and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday.

We had a great stay complimented by 7 days good weather. Best regards Colin Isherwood.

Only negative comment.

..we had no TV for 2 days before we realised the batteries were dead in one of the remotes! Also one of the carbon monoxide monitors started beeping at 4am due low battery power.Suggest owner leaves some double and triple A batteries in the cottage...just in case!!

A thoroughly enjoyable stay in a very comfortable and beautifully turned out accomodation.

Many thanks to the owner and the cleaner.

We thought it was a lovely cosy cottage, a great location, in walking distance to Beaumaris and a little drive to other beaches.

Even though it’s on street parking, we could still get parked outside the cottage most days. There was everything we needed in the cottage and great information about surrounding areas to visit.It was our First visit to Anglesey and loved it!
