Hendre Snowdonia, Gwynedd

Superb hospitality with tea & cake on arrival and fresh eggs.. A well equiped,comfortable cottage, ideal for a family of four. Location good for exploring the area, plenty to do with teenage children with National Outdoor Centre 5 minutes away if they want to try windsurfing, climbing, sailing...

Beautiful cottage in perfect location to be able to visit Anglesea and surrounding areas.. Pictures don’t do it justice. It’s been recently redecorated and gives you the real cottage experience. Log burner is amazing. Owner very helpful and friendly. Arrived to lovely home made cakes & tea, coffee & sugar all available. Wished we could have tried the owners cooked breakfast but it wasn’t available during our stay. Would definitely stay again

We completely enjoyed our stay at Hendre cottage.. Jane met us on arrival to give us the keys and show us around. She also had a lovely tea set out for us. The bedrooms were set up nicely and very comfortable. The bathroom had just been redone with a gorgeous new shower which was very nice though I did miss having a bath to soak in at night. The farm where the cottage is located was great and there was plenty of parking. The location was very close to everything and made it easy to explore Snowdonia.

Amazing cottage so peaceful and exactly what we thought it would be.. It was made better by the lovely hostess Jane especially the cakes made on our arrival and our departure. Lovely touch! So good to have little things for us like washing up liquid, toiletries etc. Cottage really good. Only criticism is think it would benefit from having a proper shower over the bath with shower curtain put up. It’s hard to not have a shower for a week.

Really nice holiday cottage.. Great location, very close to Llanberis (for Snowdon), Caernarfon and Bangor. Awesome view from the courtyard every morning! Very helpful landlady. Well equipped kitchen, and cosy living room. Comfortable beds, and provided a baby cot and stair gate for our little one. (There was a review we read before about lack of shower curtain, this is very much still an issue! The shower head has a leak on one side as well, so water gets ALL over the floor! Don't put your clothes or towel anywhere near the bath if you have a shower! But this is a pretty minor issue) Had a lovely time! Thank you!

The wording in the cottage description led you to believe there was a garden with the cottage and that the local pub and shop 2 miles away was walkable.. Wording needs changing to state communal shared garden and no footpaths led off from the Farm and local pub and shop was by car only. Two kep points when taking dogs with you.

We were very happy with our choice of accommodation - the owner was lovely and very friendly.. As this is on her land specifically we got to chat when we arrived. The accommodation is not the "Cleanest" with some things being a bit dusty and cobwebbed - but at the end of the day its a farm cottage and was roughly in line with my expectation. Once we got settled we found most of the things that mattered in cleanliness were taken care of - the couch and carpets were all clean and so were the beds. The arrival was lovely with Jane (Owner) having made food for our arrival including baked items on the kitchen table that went above and beyond what she needed to do. As a penny pinching Scotsman i must say i felt we got our money's worth :). The parking outside could get complicated if the housing was all in use and they all had cars / multiples there were three cars at our time of staying and we all managed perfectly fine and could possibly squeeze 1 or 2 (maybe) more without having a tight parking situation! The fire was a delight i had not 100% expected as it was as Jane allowed us access to the firewood stores to collect our own fuel as and when we wished and we made good use of this on chillier nights though often these were far and few between with the cottage being quite warm (probably with the weather). One thing to bear in mind, the ceilings are very high but those doorways ain't ;) and its easy to forget that on the way to the loo at 2am. The only thing i would point out as needs improving would be the show in this cottage, i would add an anti slip mat to the bath for one, as this was noted when all 6ft 6 of me went a bit slidy, and the second thing would be a curtain, i felt terrible with the fantastic water pressure in this shower that the water just sprayed everywhere in the bathroom. That would be the only thing i think. For people looking at booking i recommend you do so its a great place lovely and out of the way, it took 10 minutes to get to walks around the cottage for hills, or to visit the towns (10 min drive to Bangor and supermarkets) and a 20-30 minute outing to Holy Island for a day. This is a perfectly placed cottage that is comfortable and friendly with excellent facilities and a fantastic link to nearby areas - it has to be the best place i have stayed in the last 10 years. Many thanks to the owners for a great stay I hope to be back :) Nik

What a wonderful place to stay, central point for visiting lots of places in Snowdonia.. A brilliant exeperience for our little boy as we visited at the right time to see all the new lambs and brand new calves, he loved it and didn’t want to leave.
