This should be a 5/5 cottage but needs more attention from the owner/manager The cleaning needs to be improved and the maintenance of the facilities should be reviewed and amended where neccesary Example - 4 of the dining room chairs are unusuable for fear of them failing - evidence of multiple repairs is claer but these are failing badly Compares very poorly to pur last SYKES rental

- Kevin, September 2024

Thank you for your comments The dining room chairs have been attended to. Beech Tree Cottage has been almost fully booked since the end of February. The dining room suite will be a subject for our end of season review. The cleaner will be informed of your comments when she arrives on Friday. Property Owner

“Beech tree cottage was excellent.”

The views from the front door over to Caernarfon, the Menai and Anglesey were amazing, and the sunsets provided our daily end to each day. The cottage is very well equipped, quiet and comfortable. We walked straight from the front door over to Llanberis on a great track, and the paths up Yr Wyddfa are a 15 min drive away. A great holiday in a great cottage.

“The property was cosy and as described on the website.”

As a worm Welcome, the table was already layed and lights were on, as we arrived. Bedrooms: The mattresses were really good - not too soft or worn out. I could sleep very well there. The bedding happily was not a synthetic, that would charge electrically, as we experienced it in other properties. Wardrobes were sufficient for all clothing to put in. Bathrooms: The two bathrooms (one with shower, one with bathtube and shower in the bathtube) were sufficient and the shower even was provided with a mixer tap (I hope, this is the right word for "Mischbatterie"), which is not always usual in GB :) Living room/ kitchen: Every sofa and the leather armchair were extendable, so you could lay there with feet raised as relaxing as possible. The table was sufficient for the three of us. If really six persons would sit and eat there, the space at the table would possibly be a little tight. Three days we used the woodburner in the living room. Enough wood was provided and the warmth was very cosy and welcoming because of some stormy and not too warm days. There also are electric heaters, so you don´t have to get cold. The kitchen equippement was really o.k., except the usual little things you always miss in holiday homes, f.e. a butter dish, eggslicer and other little tools like that. If you want to make coffee, better bring a hand-filter and filter bags. But all in all, the needed tools were there. Additionally to the fridge there was a freezer with enough space for storing frozen food. Surroundings: The view is phantastic and worth booking alone. The hill, the house is build on, is a wonderfull starting point for long or short walks, always accompanied with stunning views over hills and up to the menai strait and Anglesey. You certainly will miss the view, when you are back home (as we do). To get bread, baguettes or pasties, butter, cheese and so on for breakfast, you can drive 5 Minutes zu a shell gas station with included little store. To shop for cooking, best is, to drive to Cernafon, f.e. Tesco. It´s about a ten minutes drive. Behind the house, there is a patio with table and chairs to eat on sunny days. Also there is a bench with wonderfull view on a little grashill beside the house and there is a clothes dryer behind the house, where you can hang your clothes after washing them in the washing machine, which is suited in a little outhouse. You are also allowed, to use the wonderfull little garden of the friendly neighbours, where three or four benches invite you to sit and relax. For every kind of daily tour, wether to the mountains of snowdonia or the beaches of anglesey, this location is central and near to both sides, sea and mountains. The only thing, that we have to "complain" is, that no one came in the middle of our two weeks stay, to clean up and provide new towels and linnen - although this was promised in the handout. And also no one came on thursday or friday, to take the garbage cans down the access-path, for beeing emptied in the morning - although announced in the handout. So we did that ourselves, to have enough space in the garbage cans again. This is the reason, we gave not the very best marks in "maintainance". But that little irritation should be no reason not to book this facility! If we ever go to north wales again, we first will try to book this property again! We say "thank you" for a wonderfull stay!

I am very sorry to discover that the appropriate housekeeping was not undertaken halfway through your two week stay at Beech Tree Cottage. Investigations are underway to ascertain WHY these matters were not dealt with in the appropriate manner. However, I am pleased that this did not prevent you having a wonderful stay at Beech Tree Cottage. Property Owner

“The villa was very nice, the views are amazing, lots of storage space and a good warming fireplace.”

A spacious kitchen with quite a bit of equipment. It would be nice if they left some spices and oil. It seems complicated to get to the visa and I would recommend stating in the arrival details that there is a wider and more convenient way to get there (after the yellow house). It would also be desirable that they put a blind on the window in the shower on the second floor - there is glare in the morning from the sun and it is not so pleasant at night either.

- Adi, June 2024

Thank you for your comments. You should have received our detailed directions to Beech Tree Cottage with the arrival details from Menai Holidays Cottages. Property Owner

“Beautiful cottage with everything we needed for our stay, modern but still in keeping with an ‘olde world effect’ Would definitely recommend , fulfilled our expectations and more!”

“Beech Tree Cottage is a fantastic holiday home.”

It had everything that we needed and more. The completely closed in garden/driveway was wonderful for the dogs and a lovely place to sit and admire the views across to the Isle of Angelsey. It was a good location for Llanberis, Betsw y Coed and Caernarfon. The train to the top of Snowdon (from Llanberis) was absolutely brilliant and well worth the money. It was our first time to Wales and we are now hooked, so will be back. Would definitely stay at Beech Tree Cottage again. Thank you

“A lovely, warm, comfortable cottage in a great location.”

Our stay was peaceful and quiet, the cottage had everything we needed, comfy bed, reliable wifi, easy to get around all the places we wanted to see in this beautiful part of Wales. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in, and hopefully we will get the chance to return. Thank you.

“Ideal for dog owners, reasonably large enclosed garden.”

Great views of Caernarfon ,Castle and Anglesey. Clean well furnished and comfortable cottage, would definitely consider staying again. Use the access directions from owners not your satnav or you may have a dent in your alloys.

“Superb hillside setting for a gorgeous cottage.”

Just as described and clean, airy and spacious inside. Rare in our experience to find a cottage that has all the cutlery, crockery and utensils that might be needed, and garden furniture, bbq etc all present and in working order. Beautifully laid out for us on arrival - table was set and a welcoming bottle of wine (and milk) in the fridge. Terrific views from the garden and wonderful bird life while we were there (cuckoo, linnet, greater whitethroat, Raven etc). We plan to re-book later in the year. Thanks.

As I have already said in 2 emails the double bed was very hard not conducive to myself with arthritis of the spine and hips I ended up trying to sleep in the recliner chair but in the end my husband insisted we cut our holiday short because of the pain the sleeping arrangements were causing me but to anyone without my condition the cottage will probably be perfect as it has everything you could wish for

- Gloria, May 2023

I am sorry that the guests decided to leave Beech Tree Cottage early. If we had seen the two emails, referred to above, it may have been possible to solve the problem. All the mattresses in the cottage were replaced last year.. When we selected the mattresses we had to choose ones which were neither too hard nor too soft. I do not believe that there is any further action that I can take with regard to the double bed. Nevertheless, I was pleased that the guests stated that the cottage "has everything you could wish for". Property Owner

“The cottage was even prettier than captured in photographs and a lovely first impression made with Chris arranging festive touches of Xmas tree and lights; a welcome bottle of wine and shortbread and the table beautifully set for Christmas for our family of five.”

The weather was wild and windy but the cottage was very warm and toasty in all rooms between the log fire and electric storage heaters and when the clouds did clear we were pleasantly surprised by expansive sea views along with the beautiful rugged mountainous landscape. The secure garden was ideal for our small dog to roam freely and safely. There was a power outage in the whole area on Christmas Eve, long enough to be exciting and memorable but not too long for any great inconvenience. Chris was on the phone immediately after contacting power company directly herself and came round with supplies of candles and other resources - which we never actually needed but great to know help was readily available if required whilst not being intrusive. Thank you so much for our lovely Christmas Cottage experience!

This well-presented, detached stone cottage sits in a quiet position above the village of Waunfawr, Gwynedd and enjoys spectacular panoramic views over Anglesey and the Irish Sea.

In close reach of the coast and the scenic splendour of the Snowdonia National Park, Beech Tree Cottage is a great choice, whatever time of year.

Step into the spacious living/dining room and you’ll immediately sense the homely feel, complete with plush seating and an alluring woodburning stove, perfect for catching up and socialising with the group.

Move into the kitchen, housing all the essentials for a short break, including a dishwasher, so you won’t have to lift a finger when washing up!

Whisk away to the bedrooms, including a double with en-suite shower, whilst the two twins are perfect for children.

Realx at the end of the day in the bathroom, complete with a bath and shower attachment.

When you’re ready to explore, the little village of Waunfawr enjoys a shop, a friendly pub serving food and a station for the Welsh Highland Railway.

For walking, venture up the Mynyndd Mawr and Moel Elio mountains from Beech Tree Cottage, and the most adventurous can even walk to the summit of Snowdon.

There are stunning castles to explore in Caernarfon, Conwy, Criccieth, Harlech and Beaumaris, National Trust Properties, and beautiful beaches on the Llyn Peninsula and on the Isle of Anglesey.

Visit the city of Bangor and take a stroll along the second longest pier in Wales, whilst the Isle of Anglesey is slightly further afield and home to a wealth of gorgeous scenery.

Beech Tree Cottage is a wonderful base, offering a relaxing stay at any time of year.
