Yr Hen Dy Reviews

Amazing cottage, lovely views and a very kind owner

We would recommend the house, as its a lovely big house with plenty of space for socialising and comfy beds and stunning views with the best sunsets! Nice secure area for the dogs to run around. Would be lovely if they could add a bbq area! However, a few little things let it down the house could do with slightly more cleaning, lots of cobwebs! Also one of the larger sofa legs was broken when we arrived so this limited our seating slightly. Lastly, two members of our party got hot tub folliculitis quite badly despite following all the hot tub rules. The hot tub looked slightly discoloured and smelt slightly fusty, we presumed it was ok as we hadnt been told any different, this got worse over the week we were there not sure if this is checked every day. We informed the owner and sent them pictures but unfortunately havent heard anything back.

Charly

We absolutely loved our time here! The location is perfect, the owner Rachel could not do enough for us, it was very clean and looked after. We enjoyed a lovely tour of the working farm, and the hot tub was excellent. We will absolutely be returning!

Howard

Amazing character property we took the family for my wife's 50th and it was really really memorable. The owners couldn't do enough to make it special, and Rachael even showed us around the farm which was fascinating. Would highly recommend!!!

Anne ie

We stayed for 3 nights and had such a wonderful time. The cottage is really big and comfortable. We had a little hiccup with the heating but Rachael sorted out immediately. Rachael and Hew showed us the animals which absolutely made my youngest sons weekend very inspiring work they do. Very close to towns and walks fabulous weekend thank you Rachael and Hue

Simone

Gorgeous property, that has all you need for a very comfortable stay.

Tracey

This cottage is amazing! steeped in history, quirky & unusual. The bed was super comfy. We spent a lot of time around the kitchen table with the log fire on, the dogs loved it. Also had the log fire on in the lounge super cozy! The hot tub was so warm and comfortable and the views were just wow! A short drive to the beach which we loved. Thank you so much for the gorgeous treats! Really wished we had booked for a longer stay Thank you x

Cant fault anything! Enjoyed our stay. Cottage feel which is what you want. Great location and quiet at the night. A light outside to be installed outside were the hot tub.

Loved the experience will be back never slept so well.

Robert

Lovely jubbly place. We had a great holiday. Many thanks

Beautiful property, the pictures don't do it justice! Bit unsure if we were supposed to have logs available on arrival and the bins were full, but other than that had an amazing time!

Lovely farmhouse with so much character. Lovely peaceful setting and close to fab beaches, walks and amenities. Loved the hot tub. We will back. Thank you for letting us stay

Andrew

Firstly apologies, we meant to write something in the visitors book but forgot. We all had an amazing time, & wished it had been longer. The view from the hot tub was stunning especially at sunset. Loved the originality of the house, & reading it's history, very clean & tidy, would love to return one day. I wanted to take Teddy the local farm dog home, he made friends with our 2 Yorkies

Melita

This cottage was ideal for our family of 5 adults, 1 10 yr old, 1 infant and 2 dogs. 2 double bedrooms and a twin room. Plenty of space outside for the doggies too. Lovely sitting room with log burner. Fantastic big party kitchen. Everyone loved the hot tub and the stunning views from the top garden. Bedding and towels were plentiful and comfortable. Bath robes were a bonus. The cottage is quirky but all the more interesting for that. Family fun playing hunt the light switch. The owner Mrs J went above and beyond to help us out when one of our doggos suffered a minor injury. Genuine animal lover and great person. Perfect weekend. We will be back

Gaynor

Wonderful stay at this cottage, perfect relaxing location, enclosed gardens for dogs to run free too. Clean and tidy, comfortable beds too! Location perfect to explore the surrounding areas too. Hot tub an added bonus.

Richard

Our family had a wonderful holiday in this lovely, central location for North Wales. The house was warm, spacious and comfortable and watching the sun set behind the snow capped mountains from the hot tub was divine x

Rachel

We had a fantastic weekend, thank you!

A very beautiful and quirky cottage. Fabulous views and friendly helpful owners. Also a great base for exploring North Wales. Loved the log fire and the hot tub is an added bonus. Would definitely return and recommend

We booked Yr Hen Dy for my birthday and it was just wonderful. The views around the cottage are spectacular and the cottage itself is magical. We enjoyed the quirky features, the comfort and the cosy feel of the cottage. The rooms were just beautiful and the kitchen facilities were excellent. Rachael was friendly and helpful as a host, and we cannot wait to visit again.

Sharon

Fantastic stay, very comfortable and the host couldn't do enough for us. A relaxing get together for a group of friends and all of had a fabulous time. Will definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

Wonderful stay with amazing views, would definitely recommend this cottage.

What a lovely stay we had at the Hen Dy, and what a lovely characterful house it was too. .. and the owners were helpful, warm and pleasant.

Eleanor

The house is beautiful and in a stunning location. There was so much character. The owners were really helpful, when we didn't have enough glasses on the first day, Rachel immediately came around with more for us. The house was clean, there were a lot of spiders but you can't avoid that in an old house like that! The beds were comfy, everything was easy to use and the hot tub was the perfect evening activity.

This is a lovely property, in a lovely area! So peaceful, the perfect escape thoroughly enjoyed a few days here with easy local access to Mountains and Walking routes, the dogs loved it even more! Highly recommend, will be looking to return soon !
