The converted barn is in a lovely location with a view of Abersoch bay. From the outside it looks cosy and welcoming with colourful flowers in the window boxes. We would describe this property as well worn and grubby. No money has been spent on maintaining the outside and inside area. The outside area was overgrown with weeds and dirty garden chairs preventing safe access to the patio. The furniture was very dated, a worn out leather chair useless to sit on it was so old, cobwebs around the base on the standard lamp, a cooker with no numbers on the knobs, rusty old baking tins, a contaminated first aid kit, ambient food left in the cupboard, a dirty dust pan and brush left in the food cupboard, the list goes on. All issues were raised together with photographic evedence was shared with Sykes Cottages and subsequently the owners. We were hoping to retrieve some the £800 we paid for the holiday. Their response was; all issued raised were trivial therefore no refund of any amount was offered. We would have expected the property to be clean in normal circumstances but during a pandemic ????? If you want to stay in a cosy converted barn with old worn furniture, a lack of investment and poor maintenance this accommodation is for you. Such a shame as it is a lovely building and could be so much better with some thought on what paying guests expect.

Abersoch is great, lots of good walking and the most fabulous beaches and views.. We would definitely return. Plenty of eating and drinking choices whilst still retaining a village feel. Dog owners note many parts of coastal path require dog on a lead due to farmland abutting. But lots of off-lead opportunities and dog friendly sections of the beaches. The Grain Store is about 10 mins downhill walk into the centre of Abersoch. Its perfectly adequate for a weeks stay with a quirky lay-out and clean enough where it matters. Comfy beds. We were supposed to get an e-mail in advance from owners which never came, don't know why, but we missed the fact that no towels are provided - perhaps this should be clear in the property details? But not to worry, bath towels were offered to help us out when I asked, just a stress you dont need on arrival. Ramp to front door, but be aware there are a few steep steps to kitchen/bathroom if you have difficulties. No welcome pack provided but that didnt worry us - Asda in Pwhelli and large Londis in the village. Owners have field adjacent and we were permitted to use this for the dog, useful in a morning! Otherwise there is a small section of grass outside the back door. A very enjoyable week.

All went very smoothly resulting in a very enjoyable and relaxing week away.. Communication from the owner providing exact location and access information led us straight to our destination and a stress free start!

Fantastic area, the owners were very accommodating as we booked this holiday home the same day we arrived! No faults what so ever - happily stay here again if in the area!
Mr Chamley

Great location, clean & very well equipped & just 5 mins from Abersoch centre.. Will definitely go again.
Mr Needham
September 2018
The Grain Store is in a lovely quiet position with view down to Abersoch.. Our ownly reservation is that the bathroom & toilet are down some steps making it not so convenient for elderly people such as ourselves.
Mr Jones

Towards the end of the holiday we received a discount code for 10% off our next holiday.. We promptly booked another holiday with you for 2019. So we were disappointed that, immediately on arriving home, we received a voucher for £40 off after already booking our next holiday!
Mrs Gardiner
September 2018
A very relaxing holiday made very welcome by the owners who even gave us some of their home grown apples on arrival.. We will definitely return there as it's such a peaceful spot with sea and mountain views and just a short walk to the village.
Mrs Clarke

The grain store was superb, beautiful views across the bay, it was well equipped and cosy.. We will certainly book it again .
Mrs Fullwood

Lovely conversion and the owners were very welcoming and friendly..
Mr Haworth
May 2018
The Grain Store is in a fabulous location 10 to 15 mins walk from Abersoch village centre, surrounded by farmland with great views of the bay.. The owners are very pleasant and helpful. The accommodation is compact but caters for most with a fully equipped kitchen. The weather was fantastic so we spent most of our time outside. Area for improvement would be the lounge which has only small windows. The property would greatly benefit from the installation of French doors letting in more light and giving the room access to those wonderful views.
Mrs Evans
March 2018
We were very happy with the grain store and more so with the owners.. They were very friendly and helpful when we unfortunately had car issues. Would highly recommend it as a warm, cosy, scenic place to stay.

The Grain Store is in a nice quiet location with a beautiful view of the sea and Cader Idris in the distance. . Clean and comfortable, the kitchen is more than adequately supplied with equipment. However, after a journey of over 200miles a “welcome” tray, set with tea etc. would have been appreciated, such as we have found in other holiday cottages. The property was advertised as “split-level” so a couple of steps between rooms was expected. However the photos of the property from outside as well as interior shots gave no indication of the 7 steep stairs to get from the kitchen & bathroom to the living room, which proved rather a nuisance to a couple of 80yr olds. A mirror in the second bedroom is needed. The shops were advertised as 15mins walk away - but no mention was made that it involved walking along a busy main road with no footpath [unless there is another way of which we were unaware] and the return journey is uphill! Very little local information available in the cottage [most up-to-date promotional leaflet was dated 2014 - most were dated 2009 or before, although we left some current ones for the next visitors ]. WiFi available but rather erratic.

The cottage was a little quirky, having been a farm building conversion, but had everything we needed for a super holiday experience. It was in a lovely quiet spot, within walking distance to Abersoch. One of the better places we have stayed at.

This was our second stay at The Grain Store. It is an excellent accommodation, everything you need is at hand. The location is fantastic, with wonderful views and it is really quiet peaceful, which suits us perfectly. The owners who live in the adjacent farmhouse are really nice, friendly people. We love walking with our dog Bella it is such a lovely area around Abersoch, with loads of coastal walks miles of mostly dog friendly beaches to explore. This coupled with the stay at The Grain Store enabled us to have a smashing holiday. We will be staying there again, it is great.

Mr Sydserff

Having been to Abersoch many times before but always in the Summer it was great to visit when it was quiet. The view from The Grain Store is fantastic. The house is very comfortable and cosy.
The Keelings
December 2009
Although the owner lives very near within the grounds, our privacy was always respected. He was unobtrusive although very pleasant when we spoke to him to settle up at the end of our stay. The cottage was spotless, warm and cosy. Well appointed and equipped.Lots of hot water at all times. Great country and coastal walks on the doorstep, the nearest beach is about 10 minutes walk away but all the beaches in this area are clean. Do visit Hell's Mouth on a windy day! Beautiful views to the sea from the kitchen or the hills from the side of the cottage. Angela's is an excellent Italian restaurant but do book. There are no low points to this critique. We would go again and have recommended it to anyone who will listen. Fabulous.
Amanda
December 2009
Had another wonderful stay although slightly wet! House as good as ever but beginning to get a little tired, although wouldnt stop us coming back again.

The Grain Store is in an excellent location, being within walking distance for the facilities of nearby Abersoch, but far enough away to feel secluded. The views from the property are lovely.

I loved the view from the cottage of the sea and boats, and the whole of Llyn Peninsula is beautiful. The cottage was excellent with everything you could possible need. We also liked its location - just far enough out from Abersoch to be away from the mad rush but near enough to walk to.
Mr Beaghan

Excellent location for touring area. Five Degrees restaurant served delicious food and drink, two minutes walk away.
