Hendre cottage was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend. The setting is amazing with beautiful views, even on drizzly mornings. The hosts were excellent even leaving a very thoughtful and delicious welcome pack.
The cottage was like the Tardis, small on the outside but when you go in it opens up. The owner of the cottage was a lovely and helpful lady. We had a lovely stay.
Hendre Cottage is in a great location for exploring the area. The owner was very friendly and helpful.
This was a great cottage with helpful hospitable owners. It is a good location for outdoor pursuits but away from main tourist areas, so not crowded.
This was a fantastic place in a wonderful location with lots to see and do. Lovely to come back to this cosy little cottage. Fantastic welcome. Couldn't have wished for more. Five star. Thank you for being so welcoming.
A beautiful cottage in a great location come rain or shine. We felt completely at home and looked forward to returning every evening after a days outing. The close proximity to Coed y Brenin was fabulous and we would definitely book this cottage again. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Great location - a base for North Wales. A superb cottage with everything we needed and lovely owners too!
A brilliant cottage with breathtaking panoramic views from the living room and kitchen. The interior was modern, spotless and very well equipped. Warm and comfortable with a great wood burner with all fuel provided free. In a good location for exploring the local area including Snowdon etc. The friendly family made our 10 year old son very welcome 'helping out' on the farm, he loved it! One of the best cottages we've stayed in.
We have been to this area many times before so have stayed at various properties. We found this one to be of the highest quality and would have no problems recommending it to other people. We could not fault it in any way and look forward to returning here again soon.
The cottage was ideal for the two of us. We had mountain views from the balcony, a plentiful supply of wood for the stove, good WiFi and brilliant showers. In the middle of February it was so warm and toasty and central for so much that we like. Your hosts are so helpful and generous, like making new friends. We will definitely be back one day.
Our hosts were really helpful regarding the surrounding area and attractions and places to visit, along with inside knowledge about the surrounding area, we fund this information absolutely essential bearing in mind that we had only one week to explore! Lots of attractions within easy reach, we will certainly be returning for more adventures in the future! They also provided us with a Welsh baked cake, and some fresh eggs from their farm organic chickens, these are really something to be tasted!
Hendre Cottage is a fantastic, ideally located and spacious cottage. The owners meet and greet was excellent, they were friendly and gave directions to local supermarkets etc. A fantastic week and very many thanks to the owners.
The Cottage was very clean and a great size, with great views and lots to do in the area. The host was very friendly and helpful.
Excellent location. A chance to get away from it all and leave the stress and worries behind. A good base to explore the walking trails locally and for sightseeing further afield. The owners of the cottage were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.
The hosts were particularly friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them. The accommodation was very good with everything that you needed. An excellent location for all activities that we enjoyed to do, such as walking and cycling. Plenty of information in the cottage and the owners were very knowledgeable of the area, with plenty of advice of things that could be explored around the area. We will definitely return to do more.
The cottage was fantastic, and to be greeted by a dozen fresh eggs and a freshly baked cake was just fantastic.
The location was ideal for us to do all the sightseeing and walking we had planned. We happened to be there in lambing season and the view from the kitchen window, with the lambs playing in the field, was wonderful.
The owners of the cottage are fantastic hosts, they really made us feel welcome. The location of cottage is superb. Great access to all that North Wales has to offer. We loved the fresh eggs from the free-range hens (they really do taste better!) Our children couldn't believe they got to see a lamb being born and then being able to help out on the farm added to this special experience. The cottage is the perfect size and well designed with spectacular views from the back garden. The wood burner is a lovely addition and made the cottage really cosy when the wind and rain was beating down outside. All told, a great holiday and at the right price. At the end of the week, we were really sad to leave, but we aim to come back soon.
Very warm & friendly welcome, the owner was very attentive but also respects the guests privacy. The cottage was lovely and had all mod cons whilst still having loads of character. Spectacular views of the surrounding mountains can be seen from the veranda straight outside, lovely to sit out with a glass of wine and enjoy the scenery, would definitely recommend it.
The cottage was warm, cosy and spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed and more, the décor was lovely and the log burner was lovely in the evening. The owner was kind and welcoming. It was in a lovely quiet location. Everything was perfect. We would definitely book again.
Great location; easy to get to the places of interest via excellent roads. Everywhere was not too busy. Cottage represents well thought out accommodation, with excellent utility area downstairs for coats, boots etc. Very warm and cosy, the log burner is a nice idea. Owners very friendly.
The cottage was very functional and homely. In a wonderful part of North Wales, and in a great location for holidaying in this area. The owner was very friendly. We will definitely return.
My wife, teenage daughter, mother in law and me spent a week in August at this wonderful upside down, lambing barn conversion. The cottage is in the perfect location, in the grounds of a working farm, for exploring Snowdonia and the surrounding area. When we arrived we met by friendly owners and once inside the cottage were welcomed by a warm, freshly baked, delicious cake and fresh eggs from the resident chickens. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you could ask for including 2 bathrooms which was a godsend with a houseful of women!! An obvious amount of care and attention has gone into the conversion, which includes a log burner in the lounge for those chilly evenings. We were blessed with wonderful weather for the week of our stay so we didn't need this. The views over the farmland and Welsh countryside across to the mountains of Snowdonia were wonderful. We all felt totally relaxed and unwound at the end of our stay and were very sorry to leave. We will certainly return in the near future and I can't recommend this cottage highly enough. Thanks again for a wonderful week.
Imaginative design of the property, to make best use of the space. Having good road links was a boon to touring the area. Friendly and welcoming approach from the owner, who did everything to make our holiday go well.
An ideal base for exploring Wales.
The owners are such lovely, welcoming people. Our granddaughter would like to live in the cottage full time! We shall certainly return, and recommend Hendre Cottage to family and friends!
The cottage was very well kitted out and decorated nicely. It was extremely clean and spacious. The owners made you feel so welcome. They offered plenty of information about the local area and were readily available if you needed them. All in all a perfect property.
We rented Hendre Cottage for a short 3 night break and we would all have happily stayed longer. Immaculately clean; fully equipped; modern; convenient and a very pleasant and generous owner. On the downside this cottage is not as "stand alone" as it might appear and traffic noise from the main road is apparent. Bedroom 2 and the dining area are cramped,whilst there is a very tight and narrow spiral staircase between floors. Anyone with mobility or serious weight issues should appreciate this before booking. That said we would all happily return.
The cottage was amazing and the welcome from our hosts made us feel very much at home, along with the fresh eggs and the fresh baked Welsh fruit cake. The cottage was well appointed and central for the places we visited. We would have no hesitation in recommending the cottage to our friends and we hope to return sometime in the future.
We had a fantastic holiday! Hendre Cottage has been excellently renovated. It is in a lovely peaceful location for exploring Snowdonia and North Wales, with a multitude of great walks nearby. The owners are very thoughtful and helpful, with considerable knowledge of the area. We would recommend this property to anyone seeking an enjoyable getaway to North Wales.
The cottage was warm and cosy with plenty of hot water and logs for the wood burner.
It would be very difficult to find fault with Hendre Cottage. From the moment that we arrived after a six hour drive, we were made to feel very welcome by our wonderful hosts. First impressions are always very important and Hendre Cottage did not disappoint. It was scrupulously clean and tidy and we found a delicious bara brith waiting for us to enjoy with a much needed cuppa. The weather was kind to us at the beginning of our stay and we enjoyed some spring sunshine but it deteriorated as the week went on. However, not once did we feel chilly in the cottage. It was incredibly warm and cosy and the log burner added charm and character. Wood for the burner was plentiful from our hosts as were fresh eggs from the chickens on the farm. Hendre Cottage is a good base to explore the Snowdonia National Park; Snowdon about 30 minute drive, Coed-y-Brenin Mountain Bike Centre about 5 minutes, Mawddach Trail and Precipice Walk Dolgellau about 15 minutes to name but a few. We cannot recommend Hendre Cottage highly enough. It has left a lasting impression with us and we cannot wait to return in the very near future.
Staying in Hendre Cottage is a wonderful experience. You feel at home right away in this little house with modern and new furniture, an obvious love for the detail on part of the owners.The kitchen offers all you need to self-caterers,and so does the cosy living room.Even a homemade cake and biscuits were waiting for us as a welcome. The location of the cottage next to the farm house allows a quick sneaking over to find out about things in question. You will also receive helpful information on walking paths in the area- a variety is available!-, and the fact that you are staying on the farm of extremely helpful and caring owners brings about easy access to eggs and milk.The eggs come from hens you can see running about and picking, also cattle you can watch from your windows. The really only thing that is not perfect with this cottage is that it is a bit difficult to find.A sign at the roadside would help here a lot- but is not allowed to be put up as we were told.
Our hosts were extremely welcoming and made every effort to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Hendre Cottage is lovely! Tastefully furnished and arranged, with all the appliances we needed. The cottage is in a great location with gorgeous views and also boasts a lovely pub a short stroll away.
Hendre Cottage was a wonderful place to spend a break. The owners are lovely people. Hope to return.
Plenty of activities nearby for when weather is variable. Good for mountain and road cyclists.
Fully furnished kitchen, even washing machine,and ever so friendly and helpful landlord and landlady (picked us up when we just couldn't find the farm, welcomed us with a beautiful home made cake and biscuits). Fittings and décor chosen with much love and good taste. You feel at home from the first minute.
The cottage was very well presented by the owner and very comfortable - an attractive property. The location is excellent for touring North Wales, and the owner was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the high quality kitchen white goods and the comfortable beds, and the decking and views were fantastic. Would be happy to use again/recommend!
I loved being on the farm with amazing views, seeing the farm animals and the nicest, most helpful owners one could wish for.
