  • "Lovely cottage."

    Clean and well appointed. As the owner told us it’s pretty much 20 minutes from anywhere you’d like to go! Coed y Brenin Forest Park is very close and great fun and for EV drivers the car charging in the park is free although it didn’t work properly on our last day. There is also charging in the main car park at Dolgellau.

    The welcome pack was a welcome touch and the outside spaces were a great place to enjoy a quiet drink soaking in the sun and views of mountains we had walked. Hendre Cottage is full of character with all mod cons. A special thanks to our host for her friendly and professional support on arrival and exit. Looking forward to our next visit.

  • "This is was our second stay in the cottage, which is was generally very clean and well-equipped."

    Other major advantages are next to a main road (no narrow lanes) and good mobile signal. We were a little disappointed that the DVD player mentioned in the listing was no longer available, since the TV had been upgraded to a 'smart' TV, and we also had problems with the fridge, but we pointed this out to the Owner, and we are sure this will have been sorted. We hope to be able to return.

    The great location even allowed us to spend a day in Anglesey after having visited Caernarfon, and the dark sky around the cottage was great for stargazing through the velux windows, in the comfort of being indoors with wine in hand! The owner was warm and welcoming without being intrusive and was very quick to respond to questions prior to and during our visit. We found everything we needed in the cottage and the welcome hamper of eggs, milk, tea and treats was a lovely touch. We will definitely be returning to Hendre Cottage again soon!

  • "Hendre Cottage is a lovely small barn conversion with great facilities, extremely well presented and is perfect for a family of four, two couples, or three people if two are willing to share a room."

    The cottage is situated next to the owners house on her delightful smallholding. My friend and I found the location, which is literally 4 minutes from Coed Y Brenin Trail Centre, to be ideal as we were riding bikes the entire weekend. It would be ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy the spectacular scenery of North Wales. The owner is a charming and helpful woman that went so far as to loan us her slow cooker so that we could leave a meal cooking whilst we went riding. There are a couple of points to make that I feel people should be aware of. Firstly the cottage is next to the A470 which is in regular use, even during the night. I am a light sleeper and wish I had bought my ear plugs, if you are a light sleeper I suggest you do the same. Secondly, there are a few very curious cats in the area, if you have any allergies to cats then I suggest having a discussion before booking.
