Mrs Biddle

This accommodation is not for anyone who enjoys comfort.. Positives are that It is an open plan two bed with plenty of room and does allow pets. It is in the middle of the village so a great spot for the beach , shop and cafes. The ship and Ty neudd are right next door and Alun the host is a lovely man and can be got hold of easily as he is in the ship hotel (owns both properties). The Negatives are that the DVD was broken which on a rainy day (Aberdaron weather can fluctuate) is needed. Kitchen equipment is not great and the apartment required some maintenance. No information available on where to put rubbish etc, cleanliness could be better and there are two flights of concrete steps up to the property and no where to park outside which is not great when unloading the car (You do get a permit for the National Trust car park a short distance away). There is some noise early morning with deliveries and bins and weekends until late evening due to due to drinking in the ship next door. That said Aberdaron is a lovely spot and we have returned there for holiday for the past 5 years. Dogs are allowed on a section of the beach, the landscape is spectacular and Fisherman’s Cove and the Lookout are worth a visit. Truly a lovely spot for relaxation.

The flat and location were lovely.. The booking was very unclear - we booked for 3nights and didn't realise until the landlord told us that we had paid for a week. I've rung Sykes about this and will ring again.

It was our 3rd trip to stay at Alun's apartment and it probably wont be our last.. It was perfect for the dogs with the beach being only a very short walk away. We love Aberdaron.

We have just returned from a lovely week staying here in Aberdaron with our two 15 year old daughters and our dog.. This is the second year we have stayed here. The location is fantastic and I love the open plan kitchen, lounge and dining room especially the log burner. The apartment is so well equipped. It can be a little bit noisy early morning with deliveries and bin collections etc but only to be expected as it is right next door to the hotel and pub. The noise really didn't both us though as we were so happy with everything else. Alun who runs the hotel and owns the apartment was very helpful and friendly. We love it here and have booked again for next year already!

We had an excellent stay at Hen Blas.. Alan was really welcoming and helpful. He has done a great job in converting the flat, and it has a great feel to it. We loved the open plan, and it was very well equipped with wood burner, dishwasher/washing machine/drier and modern kitchen/fridge freezer and Wifi. Great position in the centre of Aberdaron. Warm and cosy with excellent central heating for a cold week. We wanted to mention a few things which we feel would help to improve it. Alan is aware we had a bit of an issue with the drainage from the shower, which happened throughout the week. It might need looking at. The toilet seat was loose, as were the kitchen taps. Just a few additions to kitchen equipment would make it even more home from home. A few basics were missing, such as- a large frying pan, cereal bowls, large mixing bowls, lemon squeezer, oven gloves, baking trays, hand blender and electric whisk. The roasting tin was rusty and old. We would have also liked to have more comfortable seating in the lounge area e.g.Two 2-seater soft fabric sofas, rather than the narrow leather chairs/sofa, as we didn't feel we could properly relax by the fire. Overall though the experience of staying there was very good, and we think these things would be simple to add. We come to Aberdaron every Easter, and would definitely want to stay there again with these few additions.

The apartment way exceeded our expectations.. The whole place had been refurbished and the interior space reconfigured. The photos on your website are out of date and do not reflect the awesome nature of what the owner has achieved here. This accommodation is absolutely beautiful and the location was superb.

Beautiful apartment, newly refurbished throughout.. Perfect location in the centre of the village, a couple of minutes walk from the beach, next door to the pub. We loved it here.

The apartment was fantastic and the owner was great; very friendly and helpful. It is 50 yards from the beach, next door to the hotel and above the cafe - what more do you want? The village is beautiful and quaint. Can't wait to visit again.

Again another warm welcome from the owner and his staff. A lovely holiday and great to be so near to the beach.

The setting is spot on - beside a stream, next door to the pub and one minute from the Blue Flag beach in the pretty seaside hamlet of Aberdaron. The flat above Hen Blas cafe was welcoming and comfortable. It is clean and very well equipped with pans, crockery, utensils etc and they even supplied cling film, kitchen, roll and foil as well as some "tupperware". The flat is "higgledy piggledy" with lots of character and a woodburner, but it is certainly not "posh": some of the decor is scuffed and the furniture is comfortable rather than smart. However, you can take your dog and relax without worrying too much about the furniture etc. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to people wanting a relaxing holiday with their dog, espercially as dogs are allowed at both ends of the beach.

Wonderful location.

Lovely convenient apartment, no complaints at all. We only used the car once all week, plenty of walking from the door and shops and pubs right on the doorstep. I have been visiting aberdaron since 1958 and I love it so I am biased but it is a lovely holiday centre.

Received excellant service from owner, who lived next door. Sea front was very convenient to reach. Small friendly community with shops, pubs and cafes local and close by. Plenty of walks around the coast. Great place for children.

We had a fabulous week staying here in aberdaron. The property was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. The key holder was great and very helpful It was a super location and the only slight downside was the lack of outside space and parking. Nevertheless, I would recommend this property.

We stayed at Hen Blas with our two children ages 9 and 5 and our jack Russell. We loved the location, a stones throw from the beach and a lovely outlook onto the river, bridge and pretty village of Aberdaron. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed including towels and toiletries. We enjoyed our free breakfast that was arranged with the holiday and Alun the owner was most helpfully and a great host. We had many meals in the Ship hotel next door which Is run by the same team and the food was excellent. You really don't need to go anywhere else whist on holiday here, everything is on your doorstep!
