“We found the Granary very clean, quiet and comfy.”

The cottage is well equipped and in an ideal location for exploring the local area. As an EV driver the EV charger is a very welcome addition and removes the need for charge planning, I wish more rental properties had these. With solar on the roof and heat pump our whole stay was very low carbon :)

“We loved this place and hope to return.”

It was cosy, clean, light and modern. All the things you needed for a relaxing and active holiday. It was amazing.... Location great... Near The White Eagle which served fine food.

David July 2024

“Have already booked to stay next year, so our opinions are high, compared with other cottages we have stayed at over the years.”

Overall, cleanliness was good, although we noticed no one had hoovered under the cushions of the delightful and comfortable sofa for some time as there were remains of dead insects/larvae. Only noticed when checking sofa cushions on the last day, to see if we had left anything. Looking under the beds, I could tell no one had cleaned there for some time, either. Also, the cooker hood/extractor fan was dripping with grease, filter was well in need of replacement. Again, it was obvious that it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. In summary, we were both very happy with our stay, but I suggest that you make more thorough checks, regarding the quality of your cleaning contractor's work.

- David, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We've passed your comments onto the Cleaners and have asked for them to address the issues you have flagged. We hope that you will enjoy your next stay with us! Property Owner
Barbara June 2024

“Great to have the EV charger (plus solar panels and heat pump).”

Cottage very comfortable and well-equipped. Lovely quiet spot in beautiful area.

- Barbara, June 2024

It's lovely to hear you enjoyed the cottage and the beautiful area. At The Granary, Rhoscolyn we've put a lot of effort into minimising our impact on the environment, so it is really nice to have a guest provide positive feedback about our eco-initiatives. Hopefully you will come back and stay with us again soon. Property Owner
Bridget June 2024

“A lovely comfortable cottage in a delightful quiet and peaceful setting with excellent facilities.”

Monica April 2024

“We loved the place, it was just what we needed.”

Comfortable, peaceful and welcoming. The friendly cat, which we immediately named 'Jess', added an extra touch of cuteness. Not to mention the greylag geese in the next field. Perfectly positioned for walking the coastal path. Fast WiFi much appreciated by our son. We can't wait to be back!!!

- Monica, April 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're really glad you enjoyed your stay. Here at The Granary, Rhoscolyn we are really fortunate to border onto a Special Protection Area for Birds, which means we have a variety of avian visitors throughout the year. The nearby reedbeds, which cover the expanse between The Granary, Rhoscolyn and the sea , are home to marsh harriers and warblers amongst many others. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner
Sandra November 2023

“We loved The Granary in Rhoscolyn it was just perfect for our stay.”

It is well equipped, comfortable and really clean. Great walks around the coastal paths. The owner was also very helpful with a change we wanted to make. Thank you Alan. We would definitely stay here again.

- Sandra, November 2023

I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back to The Granary, Rhoscolyn again! Property Owner
Janet October 2023

“We absolutely loved this cottage and our stay.”

The cottage is well equipped with everything you would need. Two lovely double beds one of which is en-suite. Well equipped kitchen/diner with welcome drinks and milk. Nice cosy lounge. Pretty outside patio/seating area and additional shared large lawned area. The location for us was perfect - 2 superb beaches (Silver Bay) and the nearest one Borthwen/Rhoscolyn both in walking distance. The White Eagle is a stones throw away with lovely dining and drinks. We used this as a base to walk some unwalked parts of the Anglesey Coastal Path. Will we come again - Yes without a doubt.

- Janet, October 2023
Anthony August 2023

“On arrival at the Granary first impressions count I feel was not impressed with all the weeds growing outside the front door and by the key safe looked neglected.”

Inside the kitchen is well equipped living room ok beds are comfortable and the ensuit is nice. Outside were more weeds dead plants and plastic chairs to sit on which aren't the most comfortable we left some suggestions in the book provided. The downstairs I feel is in need of a referbishment . Roscolyn is a lovely area a short walk to a beautiful beach and surrounding area. The White Eagle pub is a must good views of the sea and snowdonia with extremely friendly staff. The Granary is set in a lovely location peaceful and quiet.

- Anthony, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I would like to address some of the points you have raised; 1. We do not use any chemical weed killer at the property, which sometimes allows the resident wild plants and flowers to proliferate between gardeners’ visits. I am sorry that has so severely impacted your opinion of the property 2. Due to the harsh environment and the salty sea air metal fixtures do corrode quite quickly. For that reason the key safe is replaced annually in spring time. It was most recently replaced in April this year. Upon inspection today the key safe unit appears to be “as new” and is entirely corrosion free 3. The “plastic chair” that you refer to is actually a £800 recycled ocean plastic picnic bench. We have provided this for guests to use as we strongly believe that we need to look after our environment and investing in this recycled product supports the work done by organisations that clean plastic for the oceans 4. The Granary is a rustic rural cottage. It is decorated as such and is presented exactly as it is shown in the listing photographs. Finally, we are very pleased to hear that the feedback you wrote in the guest book at the property is that you had a “Wonderful time in the cottage”, which you found to be “well equipped and spacious”. We do hope that you visit this beautiful part of the world again soon. Kind regards Alan Property Owner

“Lovely cosy cottage in a quiet area.”

A lovely relaxing week, lovely walks to a local beach and pub white eagle it has to be highly recommended. would return happily for another week stay.

Rob & Jan Aug 2023

“This is a lovely cottage.”

it was great we could walk to the pub and the beach. It is so peaceful here, we both slept so well. The lanes are a bit narrow but we managed. A lovely place to relax.

- Rob & Jan, Aug 2023
Chris & Rob Aug 2023

We feel very much refreshed. Thank you.

Geoff & Sue Aug 2023

“We have thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in the Granary.”

It is a peaceful location and the cottage was warm and cosy when we arrived. Our grandchildren have enjoyed the beach and are sad to leave.

- Geoff & Sue, Aug 2023
Roberts Aug 2023

“Great little cottage.”

We brought our 80 year old father/father-in-law for a week away. It worked out really well. We have noticed however, that with his grunts, shuffling and banging about, the experience is very similar to living with a wild boar! Great walks from the cottage, a 20 mile bike ride around holy Island, topped off with a dramatic circular walk from Trearddur Bay around South Stack. Cant fault the White Eagle and The Oyster Catcher for food and service. It is a great circular walk from The Oyster Catcher to work up an appetite.

- Roberts, Aug 2023
Anthony and Karen. Aug 2023

“We had a wonderful time in your cottage which the kitchen was well equipped and much more.”

The cottage was very spacious and the bed was so comfortable, although the cottage its self is looking a little tired and dated. The coastal walks and beach are beautiful with some wonderful views. The white eagle pub is well worth a visit, food looked absolutely beautiful and the staff are exceptionally friendly. Thank you.

- Anthony and Karen., Aug 2023
The Pattendens Aug 2023

“We have been coming to Rhoscolyn for 40-years - and used to stay in Tylon when it was a campsite back then!”

Lovely cottage and nicely decorated and well equipped for family use. We love the area and already know our favourite beaches, bays and walks - and this was a fab base to access them all from. Thank you!

- The Pattendens, Aug 2023
Liz, Simon & Linda Aug 2023

“The cottage is beautiful and in a great location.”

The weather was amazing as was the company. One of the good things about the cottage is the very friendly black & white cat "kitty" from the detached cottage next door. He is a dream and loves strokes and cat treats. Great holiday, will visit again soon.

- Liz, Simon & Linda, Aug 2023
Jess And Phil July 2023

“Lovely comfortable cottage in a beautiful location.”

Our only issue was the freezer part of the fridge was very small, made smaller by the fact it was iced up! We only wanted to use it to put ice blocks in for our cold box to use on picnics but couldn’t even get these in!!

- Jess And Phil, July 2023
Lionel July 2023

“We are not used to driving through narrow one-car winding access roads.”

It is unfortunate that no safe walks/public footpaths are available from the cottage and in no way could you safely walk to ANY beach. The beds and white beddings were remarkable. Both bedrooms and bathrooms were superbly appointed. The kitchen crockery and utensils were above normal. We missed the ice cube tray for our G&T. A black and white pussycat greeted us every day.

- Lionel, July 2023
Jess & Phil Jul 2023

“We had a wonderful relaxing stay in your lovely cottage.”

the cottage is cosy, clean and well equipped - I've added a couple of things which would have been useful in your suggestions book. We were fortunate to attend a wedding on the island at the beginning of the stay and our friends took us to and walked with us to some lovely paths on the island. We also recommend walking up Snowdon - it takes 6 hours there and back at a middle-aged pace! We also recommend Bedd Gelert. The pub in the village is welcoming and food excellent. We found the Lobster Pot over priced with very little atmosphere and food presented of low standard for the price charged. Stick to the White Eagle and at least you can have food and drink too and walk home! Many Thanks.

- Jess & Phil, Jul 2023
Mr & Mrs Wilkinson Jul 2023

“Wonderful cottage, very comfortable & everything we needed.”

Beautiful walks from the door, especially to Silver Ba, we were lucky enough to see seals down at Rhoscolyn. Weather could have been better but we still walked everyday.

- Mr & Mrs Wilkinson, Jul 2023
Aileen June 2023

“The cottage was just as described, every thing we needed was there .”

Beautiful place in lovely surroundings . Loved the area the walks to the beach . We got confused getting there as the road said no through road . But we asked and then found it . The kitchen is well equipped the beds were so comfortable . Had a great few days .

- Aileen, June 2023
The Foxes Jun 2023

“So lucky to have fabulous weather all week.”

Lovely walk from cottage to silver bay. Cemlyn Bay - Terns Penrhos - Red Squirrels South Stack - Guillemots, Razor Bills. The range - lovely wonder to the cliffs. Lovely RSPB cafe at South Stack. Not enough time to do it all!

- The Foxes, Jun 2023
Emma, Raphael Jun 2023

“We had a great week.”

Weather couldn't have been better. Kids loved the beaches and walks in such as unspoilt landscape. The cottage was a perfect base for our holiday. It was so comfortable and well- equipped, we really appreciated the baby gear and the eco-friendly approach. We had great meals at the White Eagle and Sea Shanty.

- Emma, Raphael, Jun 2023
Margret & Sue May 2023

“Loved décor & everything about the cottage.”

Found it well equipped - even with scales. Loved being able to do circular walks form the Granary & have done lots of circular walks along the coast & the weather was excellent. Only sad that we didn't see seals and very few puffins. Many Thanks.

- Margret & Sue, May 2023
Margret & Paul May 2023

“Another fabulous week - The Granary and Anglesey work this magic once again.”

Lovely may weather, great food at the White Eagle and super walks. Fabulous to wake up to wild geese flying over head an very chatty pheasant in the garden. Looking forward to do the next visit already. Thank you.

- Al & Jo, May 2023
John May 2023

“A glorious week in this lovely well appointed cottage.”

Plenty of coastal walking, bird watching and gardens to visit, Plas Cadnant especially good.

- John, May 2023
David April 2023

“Just had a 3 day break at The Granary.”

Everything we wanted, peace , quiet and lovely, spacious views. It is very well equipped. Very tastefully done. No mobile signal but the WiFi was first class. It’s complete with a Smart TV. And with Anglesey being a ‘micro climate’ we had lovely weather.

- David, April 2023
Wayne April 2023

“Absolutely stunning cottage.”

Set on a backdrop of the Anglesey coast. So picturesque and everything we wanted out of a stay. Cottage was equipped with everything myself and my family needed and then some. To find a fault with this cottage would be an injustice to it. Will most definitely he coming back to Anglesey and will be checking the availability of the Granary when we do. Thank you for making our first stay in Anglesey so special.

- Wayne, April 2023
Joanne October 2022

“Very comfortable, excellent facilities and in a lovely location.”

- Joanne, October 2022
Alan October 2022

“Very comfortable cosy cottage great location.”

Very peaceful and quiet- the other two cottages were unoccupied, but had the sense there would still have been privacy if they had been been occupied. Appreciated the ecological efforts with solar panels etc , very tasteful decorated with lovely art and decor. Well equipped kitchen everything we needed was there. Thanks we would definitely stay again and have recommended to friends and family.

- Alan, October 2022
Brian June 2022

“Great location and lovely and quiet.”

Handy for beeches and restaurants. Would be good to have some clothes hanging space. We were ok as we could spread things out in the second bedroom but could be difficult if 4 staying.

- Brian, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We have provided a freestanding clothes rail, which can be moved between bedroom. If you choose to stay at the Granary again I hope this helps. Kind regards Alan & Jo Property Owner
Michelle June 2022

“The Granary is an excellent holiday home.”

It is very welcoming and homely, but stylish too. It had lots of extras suitable for families with young children, and the garden was great for running around. The kitchen was very well equipped. It would only need improved by a bigger freezer. The property is tucked away in a quiet corner of Anglesey, but we enjoyed lovely walks from the door and drove further afield too. The local is a dream. Would very much recommend.

- Michelle, June 2022
Judi April 2022

“We had a lovely stay at the Granary.”

It is a very well equipped cottage with very comfortable beds and almost every thing you could wish for - just needs a teapot! It was perfect for the two of us. It might be bit of a squeeze for four. Beautiful location with excellent local walks and places to eat. Highly recommended.

- Judi, April 2022
Gillian February 2022

“We loved our stay at the Granary, it was very cosy and welcoming.”

Perfect for a weeks holiday, we enjoyed that we could walk from the door step, also the peace and quiet of the location but not to far from any of the local beauty spots.

- Gillian, February 2022
Melanie February 2022

“A beautiful cottage to stay.”

Wonderful surroundings, can see the sea from the property, well equipped, had everything we needed just a little cold in the house but we had cold and very stormy weather over our 5 nights. Great base for walking in the area, so much to see on the beautiful coastline. Outstanding pub only a 10 minute walk, all food is highly recommended. We would definitely stop here again, thankyou.

- Melanie, February 2022
Paula September 2021

“Very peaceful location with everything you need”

- Paula, September 2021
Samantha July 2021

“What a superb holiday cottage!”

Comfortable and well thought out, with everything you could possibly need to make your stay a happy stay. Perfect for families, the accommodation works really well as you can shower any sandy children downstairs to stop them traipsing sand through the place! My only request would be for comfier seating in the garden area - as a very pregnant lady this would be very appreciated. Rhoscolyn is absolutely beautiful, and the local beach is just a short walk away. Just beware of the local roads which are very narrow; walk rather than drive, if you can! A fabulous holiday and if we come back to this part of the world I wouldn't hesitate to book The Granary again.

- Samantha, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We have bought a new patio bench, made out of recycled ocean plastic. If you choose to stay with us again we hope you find it more comfortable. Kind regards Alan & Jo Property Owner
Tony June 2021

“As we are of a certain age,we would appreciate a grab handle to help us get using the shower ,also a clothsrack or wardrobe go hang clothes .”

- Tony, June 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking to improve the experience for our guests. You might be pleased to hear that there is a clothes rack available for use (stored under one of the beds). We have recently made some changes to the property to increase accessibility for our guests and we will consider adding a shower grab handle when we make improvements to the bathroom in the future.

“Really good location only 20 mins walk from the beach and pub !”

Had a really good time. Cottage well equipped. we made the most of the garden , which we weren't expecting - didn't really say anything on the website.

- Colin, August 2020
Ellen Aug 2020

“We absolutely loved our stay at The Granary with our two young boys.”

It was a lovely and cosy cottage with all the amenities we needed for an amazing week-long holiday on Anglesey. It's a great location for beautiful beaches and gorgeous walks and a wonderful pub close by. The house was spotless and perfectly maintained and we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely go back!

Valley 2 miles; Trearddur Bay 3 miles; Holyhead 5 miles.

Located on Holy Island, three miles from Trearddur Bay, Rhoscolyn is a small village with a church and primary school and is the most southerly place on Holy Island. Rhoscolyn also offers an excellent pub on the lane down to the beach, which is renowned for its gastro food, and the beach itself with its slipway, ideal for small dinghies and power boats, is a popular family destination throughout the summer owing to the sheltered cove and gently sloping sands. Also excellent cliff-top walks can be enjoyed and an abundance of wildlife can be seen, often including seals on the headland. Just two miles away is the village of Valley, which has a Post Office, chemist, shops and eating places, plus the nearby resort of Trearddur Bay is situated on the western shore of the island and is truly beautiful with a great sweep of low grassy coastline indented with rocky coves and fine Blue Flag sandy beaches. There are shops, pubs and restaurants in Trearddur Bay itself and nearby Holyhead offers a wider range of amenities, including a very good leisure centre, supermarkets, harbour front, a marina, the world’s second longest breakwater and exciting day trips to Dublin on the ferry.
