  • "We very much enjoyed our stay at Hen Argoed."

    From our first viewing to our sad leaving, it was impressive. The location was great with good views, local history and the other building added to the historical atmospheres of the location. There is much to see with short drives from the cottage and we enjoyed these. The cottage itself is very well equipped. We had five adults from Australia, Canada and the UK shearing. and we felt we had lots of space. Sarah the owner and her husband were great to deal with. We would highly recommend staying in Her Argoed or any of the other cottages on the property.

  • "The cottage was a not so little jewel in a north wales crown."

    It was surprising how big the cottage is. Tastefully decorated, double, single and family bedrooms that were outstanding. Clean, bedding was gorgeous and lovely plain white fresh towels. Tiled floors downstairs makes it easy to clean and all you needed in kitchen and utility for the stay. The small garden is great for dog however entrance to side steps could do with gate. But this is known to owner and am sure will be addressed. A chair from patio covered as barrier while there. View of the bay and sunsets were lovely as well as the surrounding area for walking beach’s and nature. Definitely recommend Argoed

    It is in a scenic position with a lovely outdoor seating area - though access is via steep steps. The beams are amazing - but don’t knock your head as I did! Owner is friendly and welcoming. This is a spacious , well- equipped home with great character. Easy access to the coast road and nearby towns.

  • "We had a happy and relaxing week at Hen Argoed."

    Our hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The house was as comfortable and as beautifully presented as we had hoped and as an unexpected bonus the owners had recently redecorated and improved it, including new kitchen floor, new doors and steps leading directly from the living room to the garden, with a newly laid patio and upgraded garden furniture. The garden is private and peaceful, tucked away from the rest of the farm and properties/campsite (besides the cows grazing quietly in the next-door field) and with fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. Even though a number of places were closed due to coronavirus, there was plenty to do within a short driving distance, including sandy beaches and dunes, mountain biking, walking, pony trekking and ZipWorld. A great property in a beautiful area. Thank you

    All precautions had been taken in light of the Covid pandemic and we felt safe and secure at the cottage. The cottage had all the amenities required for a family with children. We enjoyed exploring the countryside and the quiet beach only a 10 minute walk away, tourist sites further afield and even a rainy day watching films was lovely in front of the fire! The owners are very friendly and available for advice/assistance when required. Local amenities are also very good. The kids want to come back next year and we have already recommended to friends who have booked to stay in October.

    The cottage was comfortable and well equipped for cooking etc, we did not need to use the wood fire as it was warm enough. A short history of the C15 farmhouse and farm buildings would have been very welcome; (Sarah did tell me that there was a tannery and mill there). We found shopping difficult and only discovered the SPAR shop with an excellent butcher south of Llanbedr the day before we left! The cottage was in a very good position for local walks and excursions farther afield, a lovely part of the world! Beth Davis

    It is spacious and extremely attractive, with amazing beams in the roomy bedrooms, a well equipped modern kitchen / dining room, and a large sitting room with huge fireplace and log burning stove. Absolutely gorgeous!! It is good to be aware that you might get the odd bumped head when not concentrating and that the track up from the main road is slightly rough. But it is what it is....a working farm! Also, just to be slightly picky, we thought the outside area was a little neglected. Dead plants in tubs ( managed to give the window boxes an Easter resurrection!) and the garden grass could have done with being mowed. But we loved it and highly recommend.....
