Ideal for short breaks
Lovely property in ideal location with the added bonus of an enclosed garden shaded by a beautiful walnut tree. Kitchen is compact & bijou but has all the necessities. Bathroom is lovely although the hot shower ran cold very quickly. We used a weekly pass on the green for parking (£35 with a £10 refund when pass card returned). My only niggle is the price hike- we had booked last July - we asked to stay an extra night for which there was availability but the price increase due to rise in utilities costs was in my view extortionate (we could have stayed in an hotel in town with breakfast for less) needless to say we left and for this reason sadly will not return. I have to add that the Company staff I dealt with were excellent.

Comfortable Cottage
We stayed at the property for 4 nights with our dog. The cottage is situated close to the centre of Beaumaris. The cottage was clean and tidy with everything on hand that we needed. It also has a lovely private enclosed garden and yard. The only thing that may cause a problem for some guests is the lack of parking at the property. We ended up having to park someway up the main road. On street parking in Beaumaris is limited as there are yellow lines everywhere. All in all a great place for a short break. We would stay at the cottage again.

Comfortable & well situated cottage
This was our fourth stay at Guillemot & we will be back, we love it! Perfectly placed just 1 to 2 minutes walk from the centre of Beaumaris but in a quiet street. The cottage is comfortable & well equipped with a lovely light sunroom for inclement days and a beautiful garden, backing onto fields, for warmer days. No parking at the cottage but a weekly pass on the green, just a couple of minutes walk away, solves the issue. You would find it hard to find a lovlier outlook from a car park, overlooking the Menai straits!

Nice place but in need of refreshing
Property is excellently located for the town of Beaumaris and despite initial concerns parking was generally not a problem. It is comfortable but really needs a refresh of the decor and furnishings and bedding, for the amount charged. The photos in the advert are likely to have been taken when it was first listed as the garden is now rather too shaded by the large trees which meant that there was effectively no outdoor space in the sun which would have been nice as we did have some sunny days, and made it difficult to dry washing.
Another issue is the windows which being old sash type are difficult to open and almost impossible to shut (as they tend to drop down). A more elderly guest might not have been able to close them at all. They are also not very soundproof, at the front the road is very close by and a lie-in is not really possible with the traffic passing by.
There are also not enough glasses and knives for a family of four.
Some areas are dirty, for example in the rear bedroom there is a Perspex panel inside the window, the space between the two is an area which cannot get cleaned. There were cobwebs in light fittings. The armchair arms are dirty and there are stains on the main bedroom carpet. A deep clean along with a lick of paint is due.
We found that one of the duvets was really flat and thin and asked for it to be replaced, which it was eventually, hence the relatively low score for customer service.

Summer holidays
This is our second visit to Guillemot, having visited in 2020.
The house was very clean again. The house has everything you need, just unpack and enjoy your stay.
Great location. No parking at the property but whenever we have stayed in Beaumaris we have always found parking on a street close by. Great to have a garden rather than a back yard which is often the case for stays in Beaumaris.
Just a little feedback, the wooden gate to the garden didn't quite close properly. Not a problem with our dog as we were always out there with him but something to know. The Smart TV doesn't have the usual Netflix etc so bring a Firestick if you want full access. Also it would be great if the shelf the TV sits on was slight bigger as only those sat on the sofa had a full view. We had one night when the weather wasn't great so we ordered a takeaway and planned a film night, one of us using an armchair had no view of the TV
Would we stay again .... yes, the location is perfect and a lovely clean house.

Fabulous little getaway
Guillemot is a lovely cottage right in the heart of Beaumaris. Beautifully cosy and clean - felt like a home from home. Some lovely little personal touches to make you feel at home - Christmas tree and lights, and a log burner ready to light on arrival. Close to everything you need.
The owners were also extremely kind and we can’t thank them enough for allowing us to move our booking rather than lose the holiday altogether due to a sudden illness of one of the party. Thank you

Happy and comfortable stay
Lovely property and very comfortable. The oven would have benefited from a clean however I did request an earlier arrival time.
It would be super helpful to have a welcome pack, it is not helpful to have all info on line. The lovely neighbour came round as we struggled to find the internet password, with a welcome pack we would not have needed this assistance.

Guillemot cottage Beaumaris.
Lovely location in town , short walk to pier and nice facilities close by. Accommodation very good , nice sized rooms and everything you need. Coastal holidays service and information very good too with lots of useful information and personal touch. On street parking in high season was only small draw back but not too problematic. Overall a very good experience.

Lovely place, ideally situated
This was our third visit to Guillemot and we will definitely stay again. Its situated in the centre of Beaumaris, perfect for exploring Beaumaris but also perfectly situated to visit the rest of Anglesey. The house is comfortable and has everything you need including a lovely patio area & garden at the back for when the sun shines, & a bright light garden room for when it doesn't!
Shops, pubs and restaurants all within walking distance.
We purchase a weeks pass from the hut at the car park on the green. Open 9 to 4.30. Although it works out cheaper sometimes to buy a day pass (£5) the weekly pass enables us to go in and out of the car park whenever we need to ie out further afield for a meal on an evening - (Dylans, Freckled Angel in Menai, Gaerwen Arms in Gaerwen, Tavern on the bay in St Davids caravan Park at Red Wharf Bay to name a few.) Parking is limited close to the house but fine for unloading and loading.

Good holiday. Good location. Great area. The only complaints were cooker was not cleaned to my standard and bins outside were not empty. due to convid believe this should of been done. Parking could be a problem would advise guests to book a weekly ticket on the green.

May half term stay
Great stylish house, plenty of space and dog friendly too. A beautiful peaceful garden to relax in after fun packed days out exploring Anglesey. Lots of amazing beaches within easy drive. Parking can be problematic when the town is busy but a space can always be found although usually a short walk away.

Great Trip
Great property in a beautiful island. Very well set up property. Quality linen and towels. Highly recomended. Would return.
Only issues were: the parking although we managed to park further down Ratings row half the time. The only other option is the sea front for over nights. Bring plenty of change (£5) as no card machine or App. Also had to pass through the communal rear path to get to the enclosed garden which was a bit inconvenient with a young dog who likes early mornings.

A lovely holiday home
We had a lovely long weekend at Guillemot. We arrived late and were glad of the advice to take a torch to locate the keys. The heating was on and the house was so cosy. We found everything we needed was provided. The towels and bedding were especially nice. The garden is a little sun trap - it was a treat to enjoy a cup of tea outside.

Lovely cottage
This was our second stay in Guillemot and we will definitely book again. The cottage has everything you need, is beautifully presented with lots of interesting decoration and centrally located in Beaumaris. Guillemot has the added bonus of a private, peaceful & well kept garden at the rear with seating areas and bbq. It's within a few minutes walk of all the amenities & the waterfront of Beaumaris.
We buy a weekly parking ticket for the green on the front which gives you easy access with a pass & perfect for parking overnight. It's a couple of minutes walk from the cottage. A holiday cottage that feels like a home from home.
