The property was well located for a night's stay before catching the ferry to Belfast early morning. However, the room was not that clean. The furniture was sticky. The carpet did not appear to have been hoovered, there was a teaspoon lying on the floor. Although the owners explained they would not greet us personally because of COVID safey, this is well beyond the restrictions timetable and it would have been preferable to have a better service. The parking up the side of the house was not useable as we would have blocked in others. We felt it was safer to park on the road opposite so that we would not get blocked in and miss the ferry. This meant lugging our cases further than we would have liked. Also, there are steps to negotiate to get into this property. We were right up on the top floor. Not the owners fault but something to bear in mind. The general feel of the room was that it was 'tired'. The bedding was not at all crisp and well used. I really believe for the £68 pounds we paid, this was substandard and overpriced. We did not see anyone else and were in no position to articulate the issues in person as the owner was not seeing guests. There was no point in leaving this review on the slip provided as it would not have been rectifiable in the timescale as we only stayed the one night. Would not stay again.

A great little hotel
This was a trip made through necessity as I had to get to Ireland on an early ferry, so was a last minute booking. The property was easy to find. It is an old building but the inside has been made very comfortable. The bathroom was shared between the 5 or 6 bedrooms, it was spotless with plenty of shampoos etc. My room(4) was a tiny single room, but it had everything I needed, the bed being very comfy. Plenty of tea and coffee etc and there was more downstairs shpuld i have needed it. Breakfast was self service and everything was in individual packs as much as possible to help with the Covid situation. There was also a microwave to reheat any food not at breakfast time. I didnt meet the owner Claire due to Covid distancing, however we kept in contact through text and I was very satisfied with that. I chose this over the standard travelodge type hotels found at ports, because I wanted somewhere with a bit of character. Definitely worth a visit.

Rude service
The reception gave me a smaller room than what i paid for and the room was very small and the sink didnt work. The lady serving breakfast was not friendly and asked us to leave before we had finished our breakfast. That was very rude.

Clean but disappointing
When we reserved a B&B, we naturally thought it included breakfast -- it did, for an extra charge. It's not that it was an outrageous charge but it was the principal of being charged anything while still advertising as a B&B. We were not prepared for the size of the bed being so small and the shower was a disappointment also. We never met the host and was surprised that there wasn't parking on the premises.

Nice room with cute view of Holyhead mountain. Hosts very amenable to bike storage, leaving instructions and key for safe and secure storage. Did't realise breakfast is extra, kinda B and not B. Close to walk into the town (although beware! Holyhead closes at 10pm!)

We hadnt ecpected for there to be no staff available at all. The room was comfortable and we were happy to have a cold breakfast but what was provided was of a very poor standard. There was only poor quality white bread, the only fruit was a tired looking apple and oranges and the coffee was dreadful. Also there was no recycling on the property and overuse use of plastic. Potentially this could be great as it was clean comfortable and a lovely locstion.

Nice location with easy access to port and high st
The hotel is not hard to find. It's quite close to the port and serval scenic points in Holyhead. A lovely garden is located at the front of the house. The single room is not ensuite one and the bath is a bit far from the room. You need to walk and pass 3 rooms before getting in. One thing to note is the terrible wifi and phone signal if you contracted with O2:( No hair dryer found in the room or toilet.

It was interesting that we never saw any staff. When we checked in the process was confusing since they apparently had posted a direction sheet in their window that was not applicable. The facility was clean and close to the harbor.

Nice stay, no problem to recommend this place
Nice room, house, town. Clean and working (nothing broken/dysfunctional). Would come back here. The summer weather turned cold (12°C), and the temperature on the bathroom and sleeping room were within my comfort, but could definitely be a bit to cold for some guests. Bread/cereals self serving breakfast.
