Guests say
Swallows Nest in Holyhead offers a tranquil, rural setting with spacious and well-equipped accommodation. Guests appreciate the peaceful surroundings, proximity to beaches and attractions, and the pet-friendly environment. While some guests have raised concerns about maintenance and cleanliness, others have praised the property's comfort and the owners' responsiveness.
Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. Some guests found the cottage to be very clean, while others reported issues with cleanliness, such as a dirty blind and greasy cooker. The positive comments suggest that cleanliness is generally maintained, but there is room for improvement.
The location is praised for its tranquility and convenience, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. However, some guests noted the proximity to the A55, which could be a source of noise. Overall, the location is well-regarded for its rural charm and central position for exploring Anglesey.
Comfort levels are generally high, with guests finding the accommodation spacious and the bed comfortable. However, there are comments about a broken sofa and a mattress that was too soft for some, indicating that while comfort is a strong point, there are some inconsistencies.
Facilities are well-received, with the cottage being described as well-equipped. Nonetheless, there are mentions of maintenance issues such as a broken bin and sofa, and a lack of cleaning supplies. The presence of a dog basket and fenced area is a plus for pet owners.
While some guests mentioned a welcome pack of chocolates and fizz, it is not clear if this is a standard offering for all guests. As such, it is not possible to accurately assess the thoughtfulness of the hosts in providing gifts, and the score is set to null.

Dirty blind in kitchen window and in bathroom.Dishwasher but no tablets to use it, cooker and hob greasy and no hob cleaner provided. Broken bin in bathroom.Mattress poor quality, king size bed but double bed quilt which wasn’t wide enough to cover two adults. Musty smell throughout the property, we had to buy air freshener and scented candles.No luxury touches at all. Outside areas most unattractive, old barn on view from bedroom window. Overall very very basic cottage. Would not return nor recommend to anyone.Could be really nice with a little thought and attention to detail.
