  We feel it only fair to give honest/balanced feedback.

  So firstly, here are the pros...15 Rosemary Lane is a lovely modern, chic, property with all the mod cons anyone needs. The decor is like one of those houses in House Beautiful etc (very stylish) and of a high standard, as are all appliances, beds, and the bathroom/kitchen are amazing. The owner has spent a lot of money on this high-end house! Cons: Having stayed at several Sykes properties in Beaumaris over the last few years we've been able to drop our bags/dried food goods and devices such as laptops off when we arrived, before the check-in; despite check-in being 4 p.m. I mean who wants to leave a laptop/clothes and food in a car and its boot for hours in 27 degrees heat in a public car park for hours? Out of three of the four properties we booked that wasn't a problem at all, as we put our stuff in a corner out of the way and left within 15 minutes. Three of the aforementioned properties were ready way before 4 p.m. but I digress, on this occasion; my wife was confronted by a woman (presumably the owner and one of the cleaners) chasing up the street shouting in a very snotty tone, “What you doing, you can’t go in there yet, it’s not ready.” As she reached the property this woman proceeded to be rude harrumphing about and being moody with us. Welcome to Beaumaris, we thought! I explained the key code was ready and we were just dropping our stuff off, and put it all in a corner the living room and would be out their way and would be gone in minutes. And that’s what we did; literally ten minutes and gone! But as “guests” we expected a more courteous attitude; instead, we got this rude interaction that left us feeling annoyed and deflated for a couple of hours. After all, we’d paid £830 for this and if it was the owner then she clearly has bad manners and zero understanding of repeat business! All she needed to say was – “You're welcome to drop your things off, and have a great holiday.” You can check in at four. Suffice to say, we will not be staying at 15 Rosemary Lane again. Although, we love Sykes properties and will book another soon! It’s not too much to expect to be treated with respect as a paying guest! We weren’t going to mention this, but even my daughter was taken aback by this woman’s attitude; which as I say, left us feeling humiliated in Public Street. Not a good start to a well-earned holiday is it!

  We stayed at Gwel y Mor recently for 2 nights whilst attending my grandmothers funeral in the town.

  We used the house mainly as a base at night. We were familiar with the property as my sister has previously hired it and we were impressed with what it had to offer, hence why we chose to hire it this time around, we knew what we were getting. Perfectly located within the town, a 2 minute walk to all the towns facilities and shops/pubs. On road parking is available but limited. The house was immaculately clean and tidy however the only downside was when we walked into the house there was a musty odour coming from the hallway- the only way I can describe it is like a bucket of dirty mop water had been spilt on the carpets and allowed to dry. It didn’t affect us as we were only in the house for a small amount of time however if we were there longer it certainly would have put me off. It may be wise to find the source of the odour and rectify it for future guests. The house comfortably sleeps 6 and there is space in the top double bedroom for a travel cot (not provided by the house). Excellent kitchen facilities. Lovely coffee machine in the master bedroom although we did not use this. Excellent check in time (3pm) and check out time (10am). Towels and bed linens provided. It may be worth leaving some instructions in the house- contact details, check in/out times etc. When my sister has previously stayed these were readily available but not this time. I read some previous reviews regarding the house next door undergoing some renovation and builders being noisy- builders were present undertaking works for the duration of our stay however were quiet and it didn’t affect the stay. A beautiful house and We would stay again. Thank you.

  A second visit to this stylish, immaculate and comfortable cottage was just as enjoyable as the first.

  The most comfortable beds ensure a good sleep and it's very well equipped to a high standard. A bottle of festive mulled wine and a Christmas panettone plus doggie treats were a thoughtful touch. The WiFi went down briefly this time and knocked out the Hive heating system but an engineer was sent out quickly and restored everything before it got cold again. So handy for the seafront and beach and doggie walking as well as the Victorian Christmas fair. Not forgetting the wonderful Central Bakery (the Bavarian loaf and the pasties are to die for) at the end of the road and the duck in plum sauce from the Chinese takeaway (very old fashioned) there was just delicious and spring rolls freshly made, the size of a small plate - yummy! Good value and plentiful. The Janet Bell Gallery proved tempting again and another painting is winging its way to Chester again to a newly decorated hallway. Good coffee at Jollys and Beau tea room. Fabulous sunsets and views over the snow capped mountains. Lovely.

  Fabulous house, impossibly clean, very comfortable beds, extremely well equipped and everything excellent quality.

  Lovely welcome pack of milk, cold sparkling water, bara brith and chocolate cake from the bakery at the end of the road, tea, coffee, dog treats and beautiful flowers, thank you. Lovely quiet outside area at the back for a morning coffee as we were lucky with the weather for most of the week. Parking wasn't really a problem for me, a bit tight at times but manageable. Beaumaris is a great little town where you'll never go short of a pasty or a cake! It's a great base for exploring the island and it's incomparable beaches. I've always loved Anglesey but never stayed in Beaumaris before, if I was to do so again, it would be at 15 Rosemary Lane. It's a great location, (despite the garage) with all the amenities, castle, courthouse gaol, and pier within 5 minutes walk. Would 100% recommend to others, the effort that has been put into making this house a welcoming and comfortable holiday home is worth seeing. Thanks, Shirley and party.

  Amazing stay.

  The cottage is stunning. The owners thought of everything and left us the most thoughtful welcome gifts! We even had flowers. We will definitely be booking again. The only suggestion would be to have a microwave but it wouldn’t stop us rebooking. The furnishings were lovely. Hats off to the person who did the interior design. Loved the locallly sourced interior touches. A little tip for future guests, pop the black bin in front of the house to save the space for your car. It helped us enormously as I’m disabled and needed to park by the cottage.
