Yr Hen Dy Capel
Description
Settled at the centre of the town of Blaenau Ffestiniog is this charming end-of-terrace cottage, Yr Hen Dy Capel.
Boasting a marvellous base for four guests to explore the Snowdonia National Park, you’re sure to find excitement around every corner of this area of Wales.
Walk past your private enclosed patio area and through the front door to be greeted by a homely spot to spend your holiday. Step into the sitting room and take a seat into the plush sofa, lighting up the woodburning stove for that extra bit of warmth in the winter months, this room makes a great spot to spend a relaxing evening when you’re not exploring the delights of the local town. To the other side of the property is the contemporary-styled kitchen/diner, here you can prepare tasty treats using the supplied essentials, enjoy a family game night around the dining table, and toast to a wonderful holiday. On the first floor are the two bright and airy bedrooms, featuring a double and a twin room. To the rear of the dwelling is a raised garden area where you can enjoy your morning coffee and the fresh countryside breeze. The immediate location of the property is great for those seeking an action-packed break, with the town playing host to a variety of shops and eateries, historic landmarks, and the renowned Zip World Slate Caverns (half a mile away - the longest zip line in Europe), there’s plenty of adventure to discover on your doorstep. Choose to explore the delights of the Snowdonia National Park up close and take the trek to the summit to be greeted by extraordinary landscapes like no other. Within reach by a scenic car journey you can find Portmeirion, an attractive Italianate village boasting character and charm, it’s well-worth a visit as well as Criccieth and Harlech Castles and various beautiful beaches. With access to the picturesque harbour of Porthmadog too, Yr Hen Dy Capel is a wonderful base for exploring both the coast and countryside of North Wales.

We had a lovely 4 night stay with our two young grandchildren.
The cottage suited our needs and was in an excellent, peaceful location with good access to Eryri and the coast. A small issue was dealt with speedily. Our thanks to Helen for facilitating this. We will return to explore further.

Cottage is in a lovely quiet area.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re pleased you enjoyed the cottage’s peaceful location, but were disappointed by your ratings, particularly as we’ve recently received consistently 5-star reviews praising the cleanliness, comfort and facilities. During our phone conversation about the accidentally broken washing line, no other concerns were mentioned. Had we known you were dissatisfied, we would have welcomed the opportunity to address any issues during your stay. We value all guest feedback and only wish we’d had the chance to resolve your concerns while you were with us. Simon & Siân Yr Hen Dy Capel

Lovely cottage well positioned for lots of activities in the area.
Everything you could possibly want is provided! The beds are welcoming after a long day climbing mountains and the snug is perfect to keep little ones occupied! On road parking wasn’t a problem and the small town is in walking distance! Highly recommend the Kings Head pub and Trish and Chips! Thank you for the Welsh treats on arrival they were very much appreciated. Excellent stay!

It’s well proportioned, clean, tidy and walking distance to the local amenities. We’ll be back next year..

Such a lovely cottage, well equipped, clean and comfortable.
The location was perfect for exploring Snowdonia and it was lovely to come back to such a cosy home at the end of the day. There are info notices all around the cottage about how things work and what to do with the bins etc, and the owner was very quick to respond to my message when I had a query. Parking is on the roadside, but we never had any issues getting a space and would definitely stay here again if travelling to the area.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted that you found the cottage cosy, clean and well equipped, and that it was a great base for exploring Snowdonia. Happy to hear the guest information around the cottage was useful and that parking was no trouble. It was a pleasure having you stay and we’d love to welcome you back anytime! Simon & Siân, Yr Hen Dy Capel
We stayed for four nights and the cottage was exactly as described.
The front garden was enclosed for our dog and was lovely to sit in and enjoy the sun. The rear garden was up a set of steep steps but was not secure for the dog but a beautiful spot. The cottage was well equipped with everything needed. Clean contactable and spacious. Parking was right outside the cottage with space for an additional car too. We walked to a local waterfall and the town was a 10 minute walk with supermarkets and other shops. We used the cottage as a great base for exploring as most places were within a short drive distance. We went to Borth Y Gest, Porthamdog, Criccieth, Beddgelert, abersoch, Betwys y Coed and Barmouth Would certainly recommend this cottage to others Many thanks for allowing us to stay
Thank you so much for your lovely review and recommendation for future guests! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your holiday and that the cottage had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. It’s great to hear you made the most of the gardens, and the cottage was conveniently located for you to enjoy the local walks, nearby towns and seaside. Simon & Siân, Yr Hen Dy Capel
We had a fantastic week in this lovely cottage.
The owner couldn't have been more helpful with a little query we had on the first day. Perfect base to stay with teenagers as they loved the little snug room. Comfy beds and everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare meals. Furnished and decorated to a high standard. We hope to stay again in the future.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We’re delighted you had a fantastic week at the cottage and that the snug was a hit with the teenagers! It’s lovely to hear you found everything comfortable and well-equipped, and pleased we could help with your query at the start of your stay. We’d be delighted to welcome you back in the future. Simon and Sian Yr Hen Dy Capel
Could have done with some spare towels.
Thank you so much for your 5* review. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at the cottage. We note your comment about the towels. We provide each guest with a pair of towels for their stay, but we understand that sometimes a few extras can be useful. We’ll certainly consider your feedback and look to see how we can make spare towels more accessible in future. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Simon and Sian Yr Hen Dy Capel
We had a fantastic time staying at Yr Hen Dy Capel.
The place is comfortable and well-furnished. The local area is interesting to explore with some good walks, although you might at first think it is all a bit grey and drab with the mountains of slate, especially if it is raining, but after a while you begin to appreciate the character of the town. Also, it is well positioned to visit other places in Snowdonia. A couple of things to mention - when we first arrived, quite late, and walked through the front door, the downstairs lights didn't work and we weren't sure what the problem was, but managed to work out that the first light switch closest to the front door was faulty and tripping the circuit breaker. I left a message with the owner about this. Also, in the twin bedroom the bedside light wasn't working, but this was a very minor issue. Overall, I would recommend staying here for a holiday.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are really pleased to hear that you had a fantastic stay at Yr Hen Dy Capel and enjoyed both the cottage and the local area. Blaenau Ffestiniog is certainly characterful, with its slate-mining history and dramatic landscape and it's great that you got to experience that. Regarding the light switch issue, I appreciate you mentioning it here, though I didn’t receive a message during your stay. I’m sorry for the inconvenience, especially after arriving late. We’ll certainly look into the matter to ensure everything is working properly for future guests. Simon and Sian Yr Hen Dy Capel
A lovely cottage surrounded by picturesque scenery, two things that are the making of a perfect stay.
The cottage itself is decorated beautifully, very clean and has all the facilities you would need for either a short or long stay. I would say the soft furnishings, art work and furniture display the quaintness of the cottage fantastically and really taps into the cute, cosy cottage vibe. The location of the cottage is dreamy and perfect for walking up into the slate mines or into the centre of Blaenau Ffestiniog for something to eat. Ideal location for drives out to Harlech, Betws-y-coed etc and also within walking distance of Zipworld! What more could you ask for? I would definitely recommend staying in this glorious cottage and would definitely come back in the future.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the cottage and appreciated both the décor and the surrounding scenery - it really is a special spot. It means a lot to know that the little touches, like the soft furnishings and artwork, helped bring out that cosy, quaint cottage feel we’ve aimed for. We’re also glad you found the location ideal for exploring the local area, from the slate mines to Blaenau Ffestiniog and beyond. Zip World is such a fun experience, and within walking distance for our guests. It was a pleasure to host you, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back any time. Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation! Diolch yn fawr! Simon & Sian
We had a lovely stay here.
The cottage has been beautifully renovated and is so cosy. Great location for all the places we wanted to visit. All of the little things had been considered for a home from home break. Very lovely
Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a lovely stay and enjoyed the cozy charm of the cottage. It’s wonderful to know that the renovation and attention to detail provided made your experience feel like a true home away from home. It’s also lovely to hear that the location was ideal for you to explore the places you wanted to visit. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another memorable stay in the future! Simon and Sian, Yr Hen Dy Capel
I loved having all the home facilities .
The living room was good with log fire . Blaenau ffestiniog has beautiful walks and places to take fur baby.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the cottage, home facilities and the cozy log fire. It’s also great to know that you and your fur baby enjoyed exploring the beautiful walks that Blaenau Ffestiniog has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future for another relaxing stay! Simon and Sian, Yr Hen Dy Capel
It was ideal for us, had everything we needed.
Only the bath leaks a little through ceiling, shower doesn't. But the house was clean and perfect
Thank you for providing your feedback following your recent stay with us. We value guest feedback which helps us to maintain the highest standard of accommodation. We are sorry to hear about the water leak you experienced during your stay and are disappointed that we were not made aware of this issue at the time. In such rare and unexpected cases, we encourage guests to contact us immediately so that we can address any concerns promptly and to minimise any inconvenience. Following your departure, we conducted a thorough inspection of the bath and shower. We are pleased to confirm that both are fully functional, with no visible leaks detected. It is possible that the issue may have been caused by the bath being overfilled, leading to water escaping through the overflow. Thank you once again for your feedback.
I stay in the area every 2 months and I’m from this area with family going back generations!
I dislike giving negative reviews and only had 2 other stays out of over 30 + cottages here with average reviews otherwise I often return to most cottages. I feel I have to list things to make it clear to ensure they are addressed for future visitors without sounding petty. Very disappointing with lack of basic utensils such as no veg peeler, no whisk, no spatula, a side had broken off handle, broken bottle opener, 2 frying pans both burnt, some crockery a bit worn and especially dinner plates. Lack of oven proof dishes(only 1 large lasagna dish) nothing else! Other broken items - mirror taped up in bedroom, frustrating with kitchen bin lid broken. We have never stay anywhere where there is such a lack of ‘basic’ facilities and don’t expect too much in a starter pack for fire but this was very poor! One ‘hand towel’ for two persons for 7 days! Freezer iced up and really needed a proper clean and defrosting. Fridge very small inside and broken light so difficult to see dial as temperature very temperamental and no battery in torch when I tried to use it to cede fridge dial. Think the fridge is so old needs replacing. Damp smell everywhere evidence on skirtings some ceilings and base cupboards in kitchen showing black mould from damp inc plaster coming off walls by front hall etc. Not great for asthma sufferers like myself. This is not condensation this requires damp proofing as many old cottages do and have been damp proofed over the years. Cleanliness needs a bit of attention with dust in places and more so in bedside cabinets and lamps just felt a bit grubby in places. Finishing on a more positive note the shower pressure is great and good some rooms with cosy living room, furnished quite nicely in bedrooms, bed a bit small for a double. Parking we managed outside the house quite well. I regularly stay in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Llan Ffestiniog, Tanygrisiau and other areas close by, on the whole, Hen ty Capel is too disappointing to return too. Needs a little attention and added extras to make it worthy of a good review.
Thank you for your comments. The towels were indeed a regrettable cleaning company oversight, we are very sorry about this and we would have resolved this straightaway if we had known at the time. The mirror tape is actually the manuacturer factory tape which seals the rear of the mirror; this type of backing and manufacturer tape is standard on the rear of this type of mirror. The kitchen bin did have a temporary repair and I can confirm it has now been replaced. Apologies if the freezer had too much ice, this can take time to defrost properly and so is not always possible on a changeover but was due to be done at the end of this season, apologies for any inconvenience. The fridge light has now been sorted and the fridge is fully operational again. To my knowledge, the skirting boards and kitchen cupboards were fine when I last visited and there was no odour. We have not received any other guest concerns about this but will of course have those areas checked. The frying pans while they do show usage due to the property being in use so often due to its popularity, are both definitely clean and functional. The sieve is a style that does not have a handle, but we would of course have provided a vegetable peeler and a new bottle opener if we had known, as we pride ourselves on how well equipped the property is, as seen by several other guest reviews this year. We do give a contact number out pre arrival to guests in case they need any help or have any queries and Sykes also have several contact avenues for guests including email, web message, Whatsapp and also a dedicated telephone line for guests at any of their portfolio of properties who may need help during their stay, but unfortunately neither Sykes nor myself were aware you had any issues until you sent your feedback through approximately a month after you had checked out. We are sorry we were not given the opportunity to help you during your stay as we would have done so immediately.
Lovely cottage with all the amenities you need set in an ideal location for exploring Snowdonia and the coast.
Thank you so much for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are delighted that the cottage provided you with everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Simon and Sian, Yr Hen Dy Capel.
Special thanks for the delicacies in the basket, we devoured everything.
The chill room is a very good idea and the board games came in handy on a rainy day. The kitchen is well equipped, the french press was a lifesaver in the morning. The beds were comfortable, we got used to them in one night. The single beds have a light structure, we were afraid that they would break under an adult. We did not try the fireplace, but the instruction manual was very detailed and useful. The neighbors are nice, there was always parking. The only thing I would draw attention to is the stair railing, it sticks out too much at the bottom of the stairs, which can be dangerous. Our five-year-old child ran into it several times and we also crashed into it. We had a great 4 nights here, thank you.
Dear Mrs Pohobics Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with such a detailed review of your stay at Yr Hen Dy Capel. We are delighted that the cottage provided you with everything you and your family needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Your comments regarding the twin beds and hand rail are noted, and we can confirm that we have not had any breakages or concerns raised by guests in the past. Simon and Sian, Yr Hen Dy Capel.
Lovely property and a beautiful area
Thank you for your feedback! We are delighted that the cottage was to your satisfaction and you enjoyed your holiday in the area. Sian and Simon
This was our second stay at Yr Hen Dy Capel and once again we were not disappointed.
The cottage is located in a quiet area, is beautifully decorated and well maintained. It also has all the necessary equipment and facilities available for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The cottage is situated in an ideal location in order to explore various attractions in North Wales with a number of pubs and restaurants to choose from in nearby villages and towns. You'll certainly be spoilt for choice! Looking forward to our next visit!
Thank you so much for your valued feedback. We are delighted that your return visit was once again an enjoyable one and that the cottage provided you with everything you need. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Simon and Sian, Yr Hen Dy Capel.
Excellent property to stay in, thank you.
The chill out room was a big hit with the kids!
Thank you David for providing us with your feedback. We are delighted that you a great stay, and that the cottage provided you, and the children with everything you needed. Simon and Sian, Yr Hen Dy Capel.
We had a lovely relaxing stay in the cottage and it was in an excellent location to access the National park and coastline.
The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to cook various meals when we weren’t out. The decoration of the cottage was really well executed and the little touches were also welcome. The only slight negative was we did struggle a bit with the temperature of the water in the shower - it seemed to be either too hot or cold.
We are delighted that you had an enjoyable stay at the cottage, and that it provided you with everything you needed. We note your comment regarding the shower. We will arrange for a plumber to take a look at this as soon as possible. Your feedback is much appreciated. Diolch.
We had a lovely stay at this cosy cottage.
I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you Gemma for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are delighted that you had a pleasant stay at Yr Hen Dy Capel. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Simon and Sian.

Thank you Craig for providing us with your feedback. We are delighted that you had an enjoyable stay and that the cottage provided you with everything you needed. We look forward to welcoming you back to Yr Hen Dy Capel very soon. Simon and Sian
Lovely cottage.
Very homely and very well equipped. Location is good for exploring although there were only 1 restaurant or pub within walking distance. Towels could have been nicer. Looked a bit worn and quite small. Sian (the owner) was very quick at responding and sorting out an instance that occurred
Thank you Sally for providing us with your feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a pleasant stay. Your comment regarding the towels has been noted and will be fed back to the laundry provider. Sian and Simon, Yr Hen Dy Capel.
Great holiday lovely cottage perfect for our needs
Thank you Gareth for providing us with your feedback. Once again we are delighted that you had a lovely stay at the cottage, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year. Simon and Sian
We had a fabulous stay thank you.
. the only comment would be, to have nicer and bigger bath towels. A small silly comment but think they can be improved that’s all. Otherwise it was great!!
Dear Mrs Read, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are delighted that you had a fabulous stay at the cottage. Had you brought to our attention the issue with the towels during your stay, our housekeepers would have replaced them. Simon and Sian, Yr Hen Dy Capel.
The property overall was good, however the bed linens and towels were not clean.
Would have preferred if the bed linens were clean, also there were a lot of cob webs all around the house.
Thank you for your feedback Ms Kale. We are very disappointed to learn that your experience at the cottage was below standard. We make every effort to provide all our guests with clean and comfortable accommodation, as noted in the excellent feedback received from our previous guests. Had these matters been brought to our attention on arrival they would have been addressed immediately. Nonetheless, your feedback has been noted and will be continuously monitored. Yr Hen Dy Capel.
Excellent facilities and spotlessly clean.
Very comfortable accommodation
Thank you Terry for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are delighted that you had a pleasant stay. We look forward to welcoming you back to Yr Hen Dy Capel in the future. Simon and Sian

Clean, well equipped, comfy beds! We really enjoyed our stay. We visited both zip worlds, Harlech castle, Betws Y Coed, Swallow falls and Llanberris lake. We ate out lots and there are just so many walks to choose from! The cottage was ideally situated for us and we would definitely stay again! Highly recommend! Thankyou
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and providing some details of the places you visited. That part of the country is beautiful with so much to see and do. We are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday and we look forward to welcoming you back to Yr Hen Dy Capel very soon. Simon and Sian, property owners.
Charming little cottage.
Perfect base for exploring the beautiful local area.
Thank you for your comments. We are delighted that you had a pleasant stay. We look forward to welcoming you back in future. Sian and Simon
We absolutely loved our stay!
Everything you need is around the cottage, your 5 minutes drive to zip world, 20 mins to the Fforest zip world, 50 minutes to Llandudno, on the door step you have miles of walking routes. Beautiful little village 20 minutes away for shopping and meals. The cottage was perfectly presented, lovely and tidy with everything you need. The welcome basket was also a lovely touch
Thank you for your lovely comments. We are delighted that the cottage provided you with everything you needed and was a good location for you to explore the wonderful sites and attractions North Wales has to offer.

The cottage was lovely and i had a great week
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted that you had a nice stay at our cottage. We look forward to welcoming you back to Yr Hen Dy Capel in the future. Simon and Sian.
We loved our stay at Yr Hen Dy Capel.
It is conveniently located for exploring Snowdonia with lots of great walking routes around. The cottage was clean, had everything we needed and was nicely decorated and presented (I loved your wool blankets!) We loved lighting the wood burner in the evenings and sitting down to watch tv and play games at the end of each day. The owners even left a little welcome package with a cake, a bottle of wine and dog biscuits, which were all well received and appreciated. We would definitely recommend the cottage and would not hesitate to book it again. On a separate note, we think Sykes cottage is one of the best rental sites. The app is easy to use and navigate, with all the info at your fingertips. The booklet with instructions and information about the rental property which was at the cottage was also well put together. Well done Sykes!
Thank you for your lovely comments. We are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday at our cottage and that everything was to your satisfaction. We look forward to welcoming you back to “Yr Hen Dy Capel” very soon.
We loved staying here.
The cottage was well presents and had everything we needed. We loved having the log fire to come back to after a day walking in the rain.

What a beautiful cottage!
We had such a lovely time here, it felt so homely and was decorated so tastefully that I’ve taken a few tips for my own house! The area is very well placed and near lots of attractions, even my two teenagers were not bored with the stay. Highly recommended.

A fantastic stay in a beautifully appointed cottage.
We could not have asked for better. Cottage was so clean and fresh, provided everything we needed, so well equipped. Super location for exploring Snowdonia and surrounding areas. We can’t wait to come back in a different season and enjoy the cosy log fire in such a stunning place. Thank you so much for one of the best self catering accommodations we’ve ever stayed. Highly recommend to all! ++++
Thank you! We are delighted with your feedback and that the cottage provided you with everything you needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay whilst you explored North Wales. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon! Simon and Siân, ‘Yr Hen Dy Capel’.
The only downside is the neighbours barking and snarling dogs.
These could wake you at 6am.
Thank you! We are delighted that you were overall satisfied with the standard of accommodation and what it has to offer, providing a score of 100%! We are however very disappointed to learn that the barking of the neighbour’s dogs woke you early, and sincerely apologise for this. The extreme warm temperatures we have experienced of late will have necessitated the windows being kept open for guest comfort. This has not been brought to our attention previously, but I can assure you and our future guests that this will be monitored very carefully. We look forward to welcoming you back sometime soon!

Cosy and tastefully decorated. Had everything we needed for our short break. Log burner amazing after our long climb up Mount Snowdon. Only negative was no cleaning products available and no tea towels. Apart from that everything perfect.

We found it a really wonderful house with great bath and shower and general facilities and very tasteful decor.
Thank you very much for providing hard copies of instructions for everything - we would have been lost without it as we aren't very good at looking things up on our phones. The only thing we were a bit unhappy about was that there isn't a big enough pan to cook pasta for 5 - we were 3 adults plus a hungry 15 year old and 11 year old. With that lovely big colandar for draining pasta we found this strange. A smaller sieve would be good too for washing fruit and vegetables. What the place needs is a pasta pan with steaming pans on the top to do vegetables. We enjoyed the giant oblong dish in the cupboard and as I had brought the Quick Roasting Tin recipe book we used that dish every day. With that fierce electric hob we found the three thin frying pans a trial. Otherwise it was a really excellently fitted out place to spend our holiday in.
