“We loved our 10 day stay in Hafod!”

Most gorgeous location - so close to snowdon, the snowdonia National park, beautiful coasts and Anglesey. The farm itself is beautiful, with gorgeous views in all directions.. The cottage is spacious, cozy and comfortable. The owners are very welcoming and helpful.

“Our second two week stay in this idyllic property, need I say more.”

“We stayed here for three nights and had an excellent experience.”

Our stay at Hafod was wonderful.The property was clean,quiet and comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped, the bed was comfortable, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The space was even better than the photos, and the host was attentive and professional. We were 6 people but they were told only 2 people booked and they prepared only 2 sets of towel. The host bought more towels for us later. One side you can see the view of mountain and the other side the sea. It is also close to lots of attractions.We would absolutely recommend this property and would stay again in the future.

“Once we found you we had a lovely time.”

Hafod is a gorgeous Cottage with everything we needed. We will definitely recommend to friends and we look forward to coming back. Thank you.

- Susan, July 2025
Christine June 2025

“From the moment we arrived we made to feel very welcome, the sea views to the north and mountain views to the south were amazing.”

Hafod is ideally situated for visiting Anglesey, Snowdonia and The Llyn Peninsula. Stately Homes, Gardens, Beaches and Castles are all at your fingertips. This has to be one of the most comfortable and well equipped cottages we have stayed in. We will return!!

“Very comfortable accommodation.”

Excellent location - very convenient for Snowdonia, Anglesey Lleyn Peninsula and amenities in Pen-y-Groes, Caernarfon etc. Only small negative points were the noisy internal latch doors, especially on bathroom and shower room, and the view from the lounge room, which looked out onto a solid wall of farm buildings.

- George, May 2025
Gillian September 2024

“This holiday was cottage was perfect.”

Everything you needed was there, it was clean, comfortable and the owners were on hand if you did need anything. Great location for exploring the Llyn Peninsular and Anglesey. We had a lovely time - thank-you

- Gillian, September 2024
Ronald September 2024

“A lovely base within easy reach of Snowdonia and the coast.”

The owners were friendly and helpful. We were pleased to have an efficient system for heating and hot water because of a cold snap. The advice not to use sat nav is valuable. Sat nav finds the village ok, but from then on follow the owner's directions!

Heather June 2024

“A stunning setting with views in all directions.”

Well equipped and comfortable, but we did miss having somewhere relaxing to sit outside and enjoy the views. Lots of places to visit within easy reach but you definitely need your own transport!

- Heather, June 2024
Susan May 2024

“Hafod is a delightful.”

Holiday let - spacious and well equipped. The cottage is one of two barn conversions on a working farm. We really enjoyed our stay and found the owners very welcoming and helpful.

Ray October 2023

“Fabulous place done to high standard of thought of design, a nice thought of milk in the fridge, plenty of room for the five of us with parking for two cars, only downside is wifi a bit iffy but hey ho we were on holiday so not such problem for us.”

- Ray, October 2023
Shirley September 2023

“Great cottage on the farm.”

Loved seeing the cattle and amazed to see a calf had been born one day about an hour before we returned from our day out. Lovely circular walk up the farm track, took us a good hour but we're slow walkers! The settee would benefit from some scatter cushions for back support but otherwise everything was perfect! Lovely to meet Gwyn, the farmer and the children, thank you!

- Shirley, September 2023
Dave August 2023

“Hi we had a lovely stay at Hafod.”

Stunning quiet location and friendly owner. Lovely property the only negatives that we could share is we found the sofa uncomfortable and on the arms there was a solid mass which could be a concern if a child fell onto it. The internet speed was poor. If you needed to work from home!! then that may be difficult difficult. This internet speed may be worth adding in the property details. Would recommend and visit again. Thank you

- Dave, August 2023
Les July 2023

“Stunning property in a gorgeous rural location.”

Accommodation provided for all our needs and while rural is also close to Caernarfon so that you can stock up on supplies for your stay. It is also central with easy access to both Snowdonia and the coastline. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Hafod and also enjoyed meeting our friendly and gracious hosts. We would stay at Hafod again. Thank you!

- Les, July 2023
Richard October 2022

“Excellent property with all mod cons.”

A great week away

- Richard, October 2022
Antony September 2022

“The only negative is that the beds a way too hard, mattress toppers are desperately needed.”

We ended up taking duvet of other unused beds and sleeping on them. So that sorted the problem out. Could do with a visitors book, games and a place to leave/swap books.

- Antony, September 2022
Fred August 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our break.”

The location was perfect for exploring Snowdonia. The owners were very kind and friendly.

Catherine Ann July 2022

“Hafod is excellent accommodation in every way.”

It is in a beautiful position with lovely views across the Menai Straits towards Anglesey. The farm itself is delightful and there are pretty walks across the farm tracks and in the little country lanes around the farm and the village. The property is comfortable, tasteful and spacious, with all the equipment you could need. The owner was very welcoming and informative on arrival - the welsh cakes were delicious with the pint of milk welcome on arrival. There is more than enough to do in the area. Anglesey is less than 30 minutes drive away, with its stunning beaches and gardens. South Stack Lighthouse is a spectacular day out at the far end of Holy Island. Only 30 minutes to the east of the property and you are in the sensational mountain scenery around Beddgelert, deep in Snowdonia. This is a great starting point for some fabulous walks. Caernarfon, Harlech and the glorious Lyn Peninsula are also an easy drive away. There is no shop in the village so you will need to stock up on groceries in Caernarfon. Really great property in a wonderful area. 10/10!

- Catherine Ann, July 2022
Lesley July 2022

“Very happy with the accommodations.”

However, the photos of the bathrooms gave the impression of much more spacious rooms. This didn’t spoil our stay at all. There are more than enough amenities in this property. I had to chuckle when reading the property details that the nice cooker extractor hood was ‘just for show’, again, in no way spoiled our stay. Hafod is a lovely, well equipped property and the owners very nice and helpful, especially the little Jack Russell who wanted to come out in the car with us! This was just what we needed, lovely accommodation in a beautiful setting, so peaceful even on a working farm..

- Lesley, July 2022
Dawn June 2022

“We were a group of four adults having just returned from an amazing week at Hafod - our hosts were helpful, informative and friendly but not intrusive.”

We all enjoyed staying on the working farm and meeting Roy the loveable sheepdog. Hafod was just perfect for our needs, great location with fantastic views of mountains and sea. Weather could not have been better warm and sunny all week! Climbing Snowdon (via Pyg and Miners) was our greatest achievement along with “doing” the zip wire over Penrhyn quarry! Would also recommend visiting south stack on Anglesey, Portmerion and the walk to The Ty Coch ( Red House) Porthdinlaen.

- Dawn, June 2022
Claire May 2022

“A lovely property in a gorgeous area.”

Very clean, everything you could possibly need in a self catering accommodation. Lovely friendly host family who were happy to advise on local places to visit. Our daughter loved all the animals on the farm and took great delight in greeting them every morning and wishing them good night every evening. This really was a great find. Thank you for a lovely stay, we hope to return soon.

Kany April 2022

“I was not fully satisfied with the cleanliness of the place unfortunately the bedrooms were very dusty my son suffered a really bad hayfever while we stayed there because of the dust and his allergies acted up because of it.”

The place was very spacious the kids would’ve enjoyed it much more if it wasn’t that dusty. The owner however was very lovely did listen to our needs but this is the only criticism I can give

- Kany, April 2022
Andy October 2021

“Quiet location.”

Perfect for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia. Warm, friendly welcome. Lovely barn conversion with plenty of room and facilities. Will be returning.

- Andy, October 2021
Doug September 2021

“The perfect location for access to the Llyn penisula and Snowdonia great for mixing up beach and mountain sports .”

The only negative is a lack of a local pub to walk to .

- Doug, September 2021
Miss Sarah September 2021

“Nice quiet locations to relax and enjoy the scenery.”

I found the local places very small and quiet with most shops closed on certain days. The accommodation was lovely and comfortable with every thing you needed for a pleasant stay near Snowdonia.

- Miss Sarah, September 2021
Louise August 2021

“What an amazing stay we had.”

The owners and their family really couldn’t do enough for us. They have thought of every detail. Right down to the lovely Welsh cakes. The cottage was well equipped and clean. The views were simply breathtaking. We will definitely be re-booking.

- Louise, August 2021

“Brilliant cottage!”

! We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend it.

Shahie July 2021

“Very peaceful cottage, extremely quiet and safe.”

Great location to get to the Mountains and the Sea, family went on walks or bike rides every morning. Ample food and supplies shopping including takeaways within 15 minutes drive, due to Covid restaurants needed to be booked in advance and missed out. Only negative, phone signal was not great so found it difficult to book local excursions on our phones, found one good spot outside the cottage with decent signal.

- Shahie, July 2021
Daniel July 2021

Sharon June 2021

“We really enjoyed our week here and would not hesitate in recommending Hafod to stay as a relaxing base to explore North Wales.”

Our favourite places were Aberdaron and Criccith. Literally everything you would need has been catered for. Lovely family too who were very welcoming.

Vicki October 2019

“Positives - the location, you need to sell this EVEN more on the description as it is far beyond anything j thought it was going to be.”

The equipment provided in the cottage - you literally thought of everything!! The cottage itself, simply beautiful. The simplistic nature of the home, I loved that we all spent time together without WiFi actually SPEAKING to each other (even my 14 year old brother joined in). The owner - he came to visit to make sure we're settling in and knew how to operate the boiler - such a lovely man! The welcome pack - very informative and the welsh cakes were delicious!! Constructive- when we arrived there were a number of flies in the property which initially was a bit off putting before we realised that being situated on a working farm, the flies maybe shouldn't have been surprising. We got rid of them with no problem. The beds are quite hard which meant the extra blankets had to be put down on the bed (but appreciate that beds are a personal preference so others will like this)
