• "It was a fantastic short break with Hen Stabl."

  The rooms were clean and comfortable. Only one criticism, the double bed mattress was of poor quality but apart from that a great holiday.

• "We absolutely loved our stay at Hen Stabl."

  The location is perfect as a hub for all the things we wanted to do (betws-y-coed 10mins, cadir idris 1hr, angelssey 1hr). The cottage felt like a home from home and came with superb views of the hills and valleys. All the facilities and rooms are significant size and we just loved staying in the amazing cottage. We’ll definitely be returning to Hen Stabl

• "We had a wonderful stay in this cosy, warm cottage."

  The views from the cottage were amazing overlooking lovely fields and sheep. The kitchen was the best equipped kitchen we have ever had in a holiday let. The local area was beautiful as well and everything was in easy driving distance.

  Superb views from comfy warm cottage. Owners were available had there been any problems ( no problems!) or for advice but we're not intrusive. Would love to come back again.

  Cottage was very clean and very well equipped with every thing you could need even had air fryer which was handy.The owner Ed was next door if needed who was friendly. We were unlucky with the weather so didn't sit on outside decking but still visited some great places.Would definately recommend staying here and the roads for driving around were nearly empty.North Wales is beautiful and would love to return again. 21st -28th Sept Linda and Mick.

  The views were amazing, the kids enjoyed the outdoor space and the friendly chicken. The house was so clean and pleasant, it had everything we needed. Ed and El were so friendly and helpful! The location was fantastic for accessing the beaches and mountains. Couldnt have asked for a better stay!

• "We had a wonderful family break away."

  The cottage is in a lovely spot, very private yet all of north Wales is easily accessible. The views are incredible all day whatever the weather. The kitchen is very well equipped and was left a lovely gift basket. The lounge was comfortable and cosy with incredible views and double doors to decking. TV was great internet speeds were v important to us, it's fullfiber and we were getting a reliable 75mbps. The bedrooms are cosy lot sofa storage but the mattresses were a little too hard for us. We briefly met the owner who was unobtrusive and very friendly. We loved the pet chicken who visited daily.

• "We had the perfect stay here."

  The location is great, only 10 mins to a town with shops, restaurants and take aways (the chip shop is ace, you can order online as it gets super busy at times due to the quality) but remote enough to be very peaceful and once evening sets in, very quiet and almost no light so great for seeing the stars. During the day the views are immense, looking over the peaks of Eryri national park. Although we had plenty to do, simply sitting on the balcony reading and taking in the views was equally enjoyable. Within 40-50 minutes are a huge array of activities, from National Trust houses to beaches, museums to zoos. So much so that despite holidaying in North Wales many times we noted a number of places to visit on our return. And I'm sure we will return because on top of all the above the house is comfortable, well laid out with everything we needed to make for a perfect break. Oh, and you get a warm welcome from a friendly chicken to boot.

• "The Sat Nav takes you to the property before, not an issue if you read instructions."

  The property is indeed on a bend so you have to be a little careful depending on traffic, however duly arrived , first thing to greet you through the door is the smell of the toilet as the week went on with window open and door shut not really a great issue. The kitchen was light airy, well equipped except for no baking tray if you want to cook pizza, we washed up by hand didn't use the dishwasher! why would you with such a dynamic view, coffee machine (dolce gusto) a big tick, washing machine good too; back door to decking and to bins, recycling was well done, easy to follow. The lounge basic but comfortable, we didn't use the log burner although was set up to go! The T.V .limited as free view would have be nice to have smart T.V to cast too but what the hey your on Holiday. The patio doors on the other hand a potential to cause harm the right one drops as does the left but not quite so far, I think they need attention and a notice to warn people until there fixed. All the beds are rather hard initially with the front single apparently on an angle, after a few nights most of us got used to them, the shower room / toilet is adequate to keep your self clean. the fan can be a little noisy but you can override it. The stairs creak quite a bit so if your a light sleeper you will be woken, all in all it is a great repurposing of an old stable we enjoyed our holiday being central to all the places in North Wales, Anglesey, Holy Island The owners are inobtrusive which is great, but they are there if you need them Diolch yn fawr iawn

• "Hen Stabl was a real home from home (though with a much better view!"

  ). Nice layout of rooms, comfortable, cosy and very well-equipped. A good location for exploring the region, and peaceful when you come back. Ed and Eleanor are there if needed, and have plenty of local information. If the weather's bad you could just relax and stare over to the peaks of Snowdonia, which look different according to the weather and time of day. Sometimes it's almost a shame to leave the house and go out for the day. The town of Llanrwst has most of what you need in terms of supplies, and also has eateries, but the view from the kitchen window makes cooking a very pleasurable alternative. Thanks. We would definitely like to return

  Excellent property. Everything we could possibly want. We were greeted by Ed who was a friendly chap. Both Ed and Eleanor were 100% none intrusive which we appreciated. The property is a fantastic conversion of an old stable. As a couple it was a very good choice. A home from home, very comfortable and a great base to explore the surrounding area around Llanwrst. Thanks for the welcome pack. The welsh cakes were so good ! Will and Karina

• "Possibly the best holiday cottage we have stayed in."

  Comfortable, clean, cosy and very well equipped and in a beautiful setting. Even on the very wet and windy day of our holiday we could sit in the lounge and enjoy the view from the window of the sheep in the fields and on clearer days we could see the mountains in the distance. We also enjoyed a couple of beautiful sunsets. It is well situated for visiting Snowdonia and the coast. We would love to go back again.

• "Lovely cottage in peaceful surroundings."

  Friendly owners nearby if necessary. Cottage was warm and cosy with excellent facilities. Lovely comfy lounge with fabulous views. DVD player as well and some dvds, and some kids books too. Very well equipped kitchen with a brilliant cooker and dishwasher. High chair provided which was good too. Dolce gusto coffee machine as well - wish I’d known this as I would have brought pods from home. Bedrooms were lovely and beds were comfy. Loads of cupboard space. Dressing table area with hairdryer in the master bedroom which was a nice touch. Big bathroom which was good space wise. Big shower cubicle and water was hot although not very powerful. A bath would have been useful for small children staying there and bath mats would be handy too as once you open the shower door the water drips all over the floor. Plenty of towels provided though. All in all a lovely few days away, despite Storm Dennis!! Will hopefully be returning soon. Thank you.

• "Very cosy cottage, beautifully furnished, fantastic views from rear windows."

  The only "problem" we had was with the mattresses on the single beds, which our 80 year old bones found most uncomfortable due to feeling the springs. However, as we only needed one of these beds, we used the duvet of the other one as a mattress topper. All in all Hen Stabl was a lovely holiday home to come back to each evening and we would stay there again.
