Hen Hafod

We were very impressed with the standard of the property - it was spacious and had many extras that made our short stay very enjoyable.

We appreciated the welcome pack of food, comfortable beds and the attention to detail of Darren, who was happy to answer questions and to make adjustments to suit our party.

Had such a fabulous stay here!

Tonnes of memories made, the property and surroundings are gorgeous Already hoping to visit again in the summe

Our family enjoyed an amazing week over the new year at Hen Hafod.

The house is warm, comfortable and has everything you could possibly need in your home from home. The hot tub was brilliant even for sitting out in the snow! The games room a massive hit with the older children and everyone had the best time. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful house in an incredible rural location, we had the best time.

The building manager was extremely helpful over message too. Missing the house already!

Excellent property - have visited 3 times now and love it!

You simply can’t beat it. It has everything. One and only downfall is the WiFi i.e. trying to watch Netflix for the kids for example….it constantly buffers and so you end up with restricted TV.

what an incredible place, thoroughly enjoyed staying here and will absolutely be back!

Beautiful house, well maintained, clean and tidy.

We stayed as a large of group of girls and really enjoyed it. The hot tub is a great feature. The host was quick to respond to any queries we had. I would highly recommend Hen Hafod.

A lovely stay.

The house was very comfortable in a beautiful location.

A beautiful building with stunning views!

Everything exceeded our expectations, the kitchen was well stocked with crockery, glassware and equipment. The furniture and furnishings were all fitting with the building and everywhere was clean on arrival! The hot tub was ready for us and a fabulous feature. The whole family stayed comfortably and there was so much choice for who had which room, as well as more living spaces so we were not in each others pockets all the time. The games room was very well equipped for all ages and we used it often. Communication was great and we had a wonderful stay! Local takeaway was great! Thank you for making my 50th one to remember forever x

This house is absolutely beautiful!

The pictures do not do it justice!! It was perfect for what we needed, a group of 15 adults away for 30th birthday celebrations. Would stay here again. Could not fault it.

Absolutely lovely property in a great location.

Hot tub was great and the views from the front overlooking the mountains were lovely! Would definitely recommend.

Hen Hafod was ideal in terms of space and layout for our family group, which was multi-generational.

Location, privacy, facilities and amenities were all good. The general upkeep could be better, however. Here are the specific areas that disappointed us: on arrival we found the table tennis supporting legs were broken, 3 bowls of some pasta dish were festering in a fridge, the patio furniture cushions were all wet (there was standing water in the plastic storage container they were in) - it took us a whole day to dry these out - and the Weber BBQ was disgusting (the grill had not been cleaned for a long time). Such a shame, for a truly awesome property ( that is not cheap to rent) to be let down by attention to some deep cleaning and general maintenance. Having a games room and good outside facilities were important reasons for us choosing Hen Hafod over other properties (4 of our party are keen table-tennis players - it would be better if we had been informed of the broken table beforehand, to avoid disappointment) We booked this property nearly 10 months in advance so to have some facilities not up to standard is not good enough.

Absolutely amazing house, couldn’t have been happier with it.

Had everything we needed for 12 adults, 3 children and 2 infants! Plenty of things to keep the kids happy. Didn’t need to ask the host for anything but Darren, the house manager, contacted before our stay to see if we needed anything. Pictures don’t do it justice. We were really lucky with the weather so could sit outside and admire that amazing view!

Absolutely amazing place!

There was 15 of us and we couldn't have asked for a better stay! Would recommend to anyone!

House was absolutely fantastic.

Beautifully clean throughout and the perfect layout for a family celebration. The weather was mixed for us but the indoor games (table tennis, darts, pool) kept everyone entertained. When the sun did appear the views were stunning. We cooked for 17 people during the week and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Would highly recommend this property for any family or group holiday. The owner was really responsive and helpful. Thank you for your attention to detail which made the week really relaxing. Hope to return soon

Fantastic few days away celebrating a special birthday, house was everything we needed and more Glorious weather to be able to appreciate the outside hot tub seating area and views

What an amazing place , we had our daughters hen party here this weekend , there were 15 of us and it was fantastic.

The facilities are wonderful , and the gardens are beautifully kept. The house is awesome , we couldn’t bet the size of it as pictures never really do them justice, the decor is fab in all the rooms. Close enough back to everything , wonderfully situated. My only comment would be , it needs a spruce up outside on the building walls it looks a tad tired, and keep an eye on the bathrooms they too are looking going towards being a bit tired too. Other than that I am being really picky it’s an awesome place and I can’t wait to go back with our family for Christmas or a long weekend. Oh and Darren the manager is fab too, nothing too much trouble always available on the other end of the phone . Thank you

We had a family holiday for my seventieth birthday at Hen Hafod which we will never forget.

What a wonderful property, which ticked every box. We felt blessed and would love to return.

My 2nd stay at Hen Hafod and I'll be back again.

The first time I stayed for a girls weekend and this time with all my family. It was well suited for both. Lots of room and plenty for the kids to do. Everyone wanted to stay for longer my daughter said "can't we stay for a 1000 days". As soon as we came home I've been looking to book again.

Our family spent ,Friday to Monday at Hen Hafod.

The house was amazing plenty of room for everyone,Well kept and very clean,The children loved the games room and the outside space and activities.The hot tub was lovely and ready to use as soon as we arrived.The beds were comfy .The scenery was amazing ,Darren was only a phone call away if we needed anything.We will all be back again ,to continue making memories.Thank you .See you again soon.

What an incredible property!

We had an amazing time from start to finish and made use of all the facilities. We are already looking at dates to come back next year

Brilliant property suited our family gathering with a number of young children perfectly.

Darren who looks after the property couldn’t have been better , helpful and super friendly. He’s a credit to the owners. Will be back.

Overall the space and facilities provided by the property served us very well.

The property was clean and well equipped. The space worked well for a large family gathering. The property manager was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions we had.

Excellent holiday Everything catered for Many thanks

Fantastic house ,fantastic location every thing we needed, games room was used the whole time many of us didn’t leave the house only to get in the hot tub

Had an amazing stay at Hen Hafod, beautiful house, stunning views, plenty of space.

Already planning to book again in the future.

You are very VERY blessed to own a property like that, only in our dreams could we live somewhere so beautiful, thankyou for sharing it with us, precious PRECIOUS memories made there, we have a little girl with a life limiting illness, time is very precious to us, so glad we built memories in such a fabulous place THANKYOU

We all had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Hen Hafod, the facilities suited us just fine.

The whole idea was to have a Christmas get together ( although we arrived on the 29th November ) it accommodated 12 of us with ease. If I were being totally extravagant I would have liked another oven? But how often I’d use 3 would be every blue moon

Darren was really helpful in terms of directions and places to visit.

Beautiful house, gorgeous setting, couldn’t have asked for better.

We had a fabulous stay, thank you.

The property was clean and spacious and the hot tub was fantastic. The owner was responsive and helpful with our requests. Some feedback that I'd like to provide is that we had a couple of things we needed to contact the owner about (how to turn on WiFi and how to turn off the heating). We may not have needed to have done so had this information been available in a Welcome Pack. The owner responded and was helpful, however the maintenance person did not respond, when contacted. A welcome pack with info on how to work the various appliances, turn off the under floor heating (it was v hot when we were there) as well as about local services, attractions and take aways etc would have been a very welcome addition. Otherwise we couldn't fault our stay.

We had a brilliant stay at Hen Hafod!

16 of us celebrated my hen do and everyone complimented the property how beautiful it was. The pictures don’t do the property justice, or how huge the place is! It had everything you could possibly need for your stay and the owners were brilliant with communication. We would 100% stay here again for a special occasion! Thank you so much!

I would highly recommend this property for a large group.

The open plan kitchen/dining room/lounge area is much larger than it looks on the photos, giving lots of space. The hot tub, trampoline and basket ball net were an asset. Great views.

The house is absolutely beautiful - plenty of spacious rooms.

Hot tub was a lovely touch and the kitchen open plan was perfect for our stay and even had eggs, cakes, Prosecco on our arrival which was lovely. Few minor things like door handles not secure on a few rooms, not enough toilet roll etc. The road to the house was unexpected- like an off road track and a few who stayed got lost along the way. A sign by the main road would be handy for future guests. But the house is worth the drive up the track road. Would recommend and stay again!

This was our 2nd time here.

What a place, it's huge. It's not advertised as wheelchair friendly, but it is. We had an electric chair user, with limited mobility and we could take her everywhere she wanted to go. There are some beds with bedframes that a mobile hoist can fit underneath (we took our own). Doors are plenty wide enough to get through, all on one level, no stairs or raised door frames. Underfloor heating keeps everywhere toasty. It's so tranquil with spectacular views too. We got an Asda delivery to save transporting our own food/drink. When in the living area you cannot hear from the bedrooms as it's built in a square with a courtyard in the middle. We absolutely love the place and we never got lost this time

What a wonderful place Hen Hafod is!

! We have just come back from 3 days away with the family and what an amazing time we all had! The house is stunning and the plot it’s on is even better. There is plenty to do around the house and local walks to keep you busy! The kitchen and open plan living room is amazing looking out into valleys! We couldn’t as for a better host then Tony, he was very contactable and he done his best to go above and beyond anything we asked for. Having a host that trusts you and leaves you to get on with things but is always only a text away is amazing! Me and the family will 100% be returning here (hopefully the weather is a little brighter next time) Thank you again Tony.

Overall we had a wonderful in a superb cottage , First appearances from outside don’t inspire could do with a coat of paint , however inside more than met our expectations

This property could be totally amazing if a few things were sorted out and some maintenance done.

The windows were very dirty (also noted by the previous renters) the kitchen needs a deep clean (we had to vacuum and wipe out the cupboards as they were filthy). There were not enough wine glasses so we bought 6 more and left them at the property. There were no mattress protectors on the beds which is extremely unhygienic and some of the mattresses need changing as they are past it. The curtains in the lounge are hanging off their hooks also previously mentioned by other renters. The on/off switch on the dishwasher on the island is broken and you have to stick your finger in the gap to switch the machine on (not sure how safe this is). Those are all the gripes but we were a family of 3 children and 12 adults and we had a great stay. The photos do not do the house justice. The boot room was fantastic to put coats and walking boots and having a large utility room was a real blessing. There is plenty of space for people to go off and relax and the kitchen is amazing as its huge and so light with windows on both sides. The views are stunning and the kids loved the hot tub which was super warm. Thank you for the Prosecco and welsh cakes left for us which was a lovely touch. All in all a great stay just needs a bit more love and care put into the property.

We have just returned from a great weekend away at Hen Hafod, the house is perfect for socialising and accommodating the 14 of us (age range 2-70).

The location is beautiful and there are stunning views from the property. Unfortunately we did hit a few snags which meant we couldn’t justify a 5/5. We barely had hot water the whole weekend, Tony was very helpful and sent someone to sort it which helped for that evening but it was back to tepid showers again after that. It also made cleaning dishes unbearable as the water was freezing from the kitchen tap! The cleanliness/maintenance we scored a bit lower as we felt it lacked a bit, the windows weren’t very clean, glasses/mugs had water in (perhaps from previous guests?). Maintenance - it took us a good 5/10 minutes to open the front door, the key was so stiff but this could have been down to how cold it was! A few of the windows are leaking in the main social area and one of the bathrooms smelt so damp we had to keep the window open the whole time which wasn’t ideal as it was freezing! However apart from not having hot water these things did not affect our stay at all, we really enjoyed the hot tub and games room and if the hot water got sorted we would 100% go back!

Beautiful place property was lovely abit of a pain the hot tub wasn't put on before we got there so had to wait till next day to go in it but would definitely go again.

HenHafod is a lovely holiday property for a large family gathering.

It is spacious with open country views towards the mountains. The hot tub was a huge bonus and enjoyed by the family. The games room provided additional entertainment although there wasn’t a full set of pool balls. The property was well equipped and clean. We appreciated the complementary Welsh cakes,tea and Prosecco which was a nice touch. However toilet rolls,hand soap and dish washer tablets would have been helpful. We would like to thank the owner for their hospitality and would definitely recommend HenHafod

Excellent property, large enough for a family gathering, enough space in the house for all, clean, modern and near to amenities.

We had a lovely stay at Hen Hafod, the whole family stayed from aged 5 to 75.

Everyone agreed the house had everything we needed. The various bedroom options meant we could accommodate everyone and the various spaces meant we had space to read a book or watch the TV or the kids place games. The outdoor space was fantastic and not expected. Even with the wet weather we were able to enjoy the gardens and hot tub. The views were amazing and plenty of spaces to sit and enjoy the view. Overall we all enjoyed cooking and eating together as a family and enjoying the open plan living. We had a minor issue with being unable to close an outdoor door and some doors would not lock. A quick call to Tony who came out the same day to secure them for us. The bathrooms were great and the large shower rooms fantastic. We had a child with us with limited mobility and he enjoyed the layout of the property with only a couple of steps. We all felt that the bedrooms were lacking storage shelves/drawers and some rooms need a chest of drawers especially the family bedroom. Wardrobes look nice but no one wants to hang lots of little people clothes on hangers. We did notice one wardrobe smelled awful inside so we didn't use that at all. Overall the house was tidy and clean on arrival. Just a few maintenance jobs such as missing towel hooks in bathrooms and a change of furniture in our opinion. We all enjoyed the house so much we booked again for next year before we left. Thank you for the welcome gifts which were consumed on the first evening.

Great house, lovely peaceful surrounds

This was our 2nd visit, the house and area it's in is great, only problem from last year and the same complaint is no maintenance hasnt been done I did this review last year and said bedroom doors to garden either wont open or wont lock there is a towel in a cupboard in toilet that stinks been there since last year, think its covering a leak, doors to quadrant wont lock, hot tub cover doesnt lock down and was broken on the top when we got there, I know the place is booked up all year but surely they have to find time to do these small repairs, I will say thanks for coming and changing the water in the hot tub for us and for coming and changing some bulbs also games room needs some attention especially the pool table, these are mainly small jobs that need to be done but the house is fabulous for families there was 14 of us and I would definitely go again

We had a fabulous time at Hen Hafod!

16 of us visited for the weekend and were not disappointed. The living space is super, large seating area with dining table, alongside a spacious kitchen with outdoor seating on both sides. Even though it rained the whole weekend we did get a break in the weather for a couple of hours so we drove to the Oyster Catcher, beach front bar for some drinks, food and a walk along the beach, roughly 20min drive. Worth the trip if you want an afternoon out the house. The hot tub is a great addition to the outside seating area with amazing views. The beds are comfortable and good showers too. We would book again :) Only two things to feedback - some more cooking utensils would be great when you're cooking and serving for 16 and the postcode takes you to the wrong address, drive back out and take a left, not even a minute drive and you'll see the mirror on the wall as the owner has stated, take that left past a couple of houses and follow the road up taking a right at the fork. You do think you're on the wrong track as you couldnt turn around in a car but keep going and the house is up on the hill to get those fabulous views!

Amazing few days away with family celebrating a special birthday.

The property is stunning with amazing views. Loved the peace and quiet.

The house was perfect for our party.

We were celebrating our wedding with our children and grandchildren, had a fabulous week.

Rather short of kitchen equipment and glasses (and teapot).

We are a walking group of 60s - 70s, so enjoy our tea and wine! Otherwise it was a great place to stay, the hot-tub was much enjoyed, and we managed to end up with numbers that avoided having to use top bunks!

We have had a brilliant week at Hen Hafod.

We are a multi generational family from 19-81! We going the layout of the house really flexible and allowed everyone their own space as well as fabulous social areas too. We cooked mostly at home and found the facilities well equipped for this. The hot tub is very spacious and was cleaned for us half way through the week. We loved it so much we immediately booked again for next year!!

We had a fantastic time at this fabulous secluded property.

Lovely welcome basket of prosecco, milk etc waiting for us. Rooms were excellent, our family of 11 fitted in easily, 3 teenagers and 2 x 11 year olds found plenty to amuse themselves leaving us 6 adults time to chill. Excellent kitchen facilities, lounge area was amazing, and inner courtyard was a lovely chilled space. Children loved all outdoor space and amenities, and hot tub was a hit with everyone. Such a fab time, kids even asked if we can go again!

What a fantastic place, we got lost so glad we arrived in daytime.

Such a quiet rural location with spectacular views. Underfloor heating keeps the whole place hot which i loved, but was too hot for others. Can't please everyone. Everything we needed was there for our weekend away. There were 14 of us and was a massive amount of space. As the bungalow is in a square with a courtyard in the middle, you can walk the entire bungalow. The bedrooms are nowhere near the living area (Party room, we called it) so you could go to bed early and not be disturbed. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, glasses etc. Towels were lovely and big and fluffy. Beds were super comfy too. Great property will definitely be returning. Perfect location.

The property was absolutely out of this world!

The views are incredible and the house was simply stunning; if there was an option to vote that it was even better in person that the listing suggested, I would have selected that option! The house was so well equipped with everything we could possible need. It was great for chilling out with the family, enjoying the local area for a walk, playing sports on the grounds, sharing group meals together and having a little celebration on the Saturday night. We were staying as a family to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday so wanted somewhere special and hen hafod was the perfect place. I couldn’t recommend this beautiful, luxurious, comfortable property enough. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Amazing holiday home with family that we would definitely stay at again.

The layout is great for socialising whilst giving everyone space to relax too. The hot tub and games room certainly were perfect for the teenagers in the group (well everyone really

Beautiful house and had a lovely time.

Lovely location. Very peaceful and lots of facilities for everyone. Would not hesitate in staying again. Great house for family gatherings. However if being a little picky there are a few maintenance issues. Some of the outdoor doors do not lock. One door leads straight into the bedroom. Shower not working properly. Tap in the kitchen needs fixing. Blind in the games room hanging down.

An amazing property in an amazing location, property was equipped beyond our expectations to meet the needs of all 14 of us all eating and relaxing at night, parking for all our cars too had a great week with all the family and would definitely visit again, inside is huge and outside set in its own grounds has lots to offer, met the owner when he was delivering more wood for the fire and what a lovely bloke very friendly so in all a great stay, if being picky I would say property could do with the windows cleaning at the front to really enjoy the view and some exterior door handles sorting as hard to lock, some of the exterior light bulbs had gone, no instructions in the property about day of departure or hot tub maintenance as after the 4th day it was not usable, games room is in the garage so very cold in winter so maybe could do with some sort of fan heater but these are just some recommendations for future visits, thanks to everyone for a super break

An absolutely beautiful property in an excellent location.

Our stay ran smoothly and we all had an excellent family weekend here. Great access to local shops and Beaumaris and Red Wharf Bay were only a 10 minute drive away. Directions were clear for finding the property. We all found it, even in the dark! The hot tub was an excellent feature which we all enjoyed! We feel a couple of small touches would have made this stay better, such as a toilet roll in each bathroom, maybe some logs/kindling for the fire and some manuals to help work some of the appliances. There’s a couple of maintenance jobs to do such as securing some toilet seats and reattaching the towel holder in one of the bathrooms. These however are just small issues which didn’t effect our overall stay. We would love to return to this property. Thank you.

We loved our stay at this gorgeous property.

It had everything we needed and was great for the kids! The hosts were friendly and helpful. Would definitely review and would like to stay again

What a perfect holiday home !

!! Hen Hafod is surrounded by such beautiful scenery. It is perfect for family gatherings as it facilitates all generations- from a fabulous fitted and well equipped kitchen to a games room , trampoline and rope swing ! There is lots of outdoor space and noisy games and fun can be enjoyed to the full as there are no neighbours to disturb ! The choice of two lounges , large bedrooms and even a smaller central outdoor area means that there is always space to retreat if necessary ! Last ,but by no means least , is the luxurious hot tub ! Absolutely fabulous!

Beautiful place, well designed.

Loved the kitchen with double island!! Hot tub was great, and the views from living room amazing!!

We had a wonderful stay at Hen Hafod and also met dyfrig the owner who was most pleasant and attentive when we had a couple of issues with the electrics.

We missed a bbq facility, but the accommodation was very comfortable and luxurious. We would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend to friends. Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

Excellent location really private, property fab for our needs plenty of room for us all with added bonus of games room and hot tub.

Fab to have washing machine and dryer especially when it rained. Lovely grounds loads of room for everyone and our dogs

Beautiful surroundings in a spacious accommodation.

Great for family gatherings and well laid out space. Bonus of a games room and Bluetooth hot tub. Loved the open plan kitchen/ lounge with magnificent views and under floor heating. Comfy beds and easy access to surrounding beaches and great walks. Definitely recommend to friends and family.
