What guests are saying
Good property with some great aspects and I would recommend to others especially as it's a very warm and cosy property but not very homely , but at it's price point does make a worth while visit .
It is very isolated but 15 minutes along single track roads with passing places gets you to A roads and access to the wider attractions. A few short falls that needs addressing, despite being reported over a year ago there is no plug chain on the upstairs bath so we didn't risk it's use and a previous occupant had used scissors to remove .Please consider a very simple welcome pack as the only food in the house is salt and pepper.Plenty of wine glasses but only one half pint glass and nothing bigger.Lovely bathrooms spoilt with very small towels , bath sheets would make these areas perfect.Also feather free bedding would be a bonus for a lot of people come replacement time .We lost the internet on 2 occasions the second time for over 24 hours and with no phone reception (EE) we did feel very isolated. Its the country side but we did not expect over 100 big flies in the upstairs which took a while to shift and every couple of days another 25 or so appeared from somewhere even with windows closed ,there is a insect zapper downstairs but it's was insect free down there . The listing says there's a torch upstairs and downstairs but non are in the property out cottage last October had 13 dotted all around and in a power cut with all the internal steps upstairs and downstairs it could be very dangerous.Across both of the property's reviews I have not seen an owners response so fingers crossed some of the points are considered and taken on board . It's still a good property and could be a great property for a little attention.
We had a lovely week in Hen dy Bryn Mawndy and the beautiful countryside of North Wales.
Everything was clean, comfortable and very peaceful. Thank you.
A wonderful home away from home, comfortable, quiet and peaceful.
However, a small touch like stocking the pantry with basic staples would have been very helpful considering the remoteness of the property.
