"This could be a beautiful barn if there was more attention to detail."
It wasn’t clean! The shower room was mouldy and there was a tonne of hair in the plug hole, there were cobwebs on 2 of the windows in the kitchen, soil or dirt on one of the windowsills and dirt on the floor near the kitchen.
We were given one dishwasher tablet for a 7 night stay and only one firelighter for the log burner. Although there was plenty of wood in the basket, I thought one fire lighter was a bit mean.
The outside furniture was dirty.
No hairdryer.
No shower gel.
No dishcloth in the kitchen.
Overall, a disappointing stay.
Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry you had these issues.
We will work closely with our cleaners to work on the issues raised.
As this is a self-catering property, we only provide the basics to get you started however we will take your feedback onboard. Property Owner

"Hendoll Barn is warm, comfortable, spacious, well designed and thought through."
We had a great week there. Two good sofas, enough for four or more to sit on but crucially two to lie on! In a place where, in March at any rate, the weather can be wet, great to have a house you actually want to be in.
And good to know there is a cheap, readily available car charging point 10 minutes' walk away.
Highly recommended.

"Great accommodation, very clean, spacious and had everything we needed."
Lovely walk up the back lane to the old slate quarry and Blue Pool with great views over the coast. The train station in just a short drive but we chose to walk across to Barmouth along the train bridge ( also cycle friendly) . Aberdovey just a short drive and a pit stop at Dolgoch Falls for a small circular walk (£2 parking fee) which was enchanting. Barmouth beach is gorgeous and dog friendly during our stay In February. The Barn was perfectly located for us to have a busy but short weekend break. Dolgellau is very pretty and has lovely cafes and a Co-Op. The Snowdonia National Park is stunning and we are planning to tour it more in our Campervan in the Summer. Overall we couldn’t find anything negative it was just what we needed and rejuvenating.

"Property was amazing, old barn with modern touches, huge windows, solid wooden furniture."
Beds and sofa bed were very comfortable. Kitchen was equipped with everthing that you could possibly need. Shower room was outstanding. The property was full of charm and beautifully decorated. We took our Christmas tree and some decorations but to our surprise everything was there already! Beautiful location, with a path up a hill just on a side of the property, including a waterfall too

"We had a lovely holiday, beds especially so comfy."
Kichen well equipped and overall spacious accommodation. Only Two down sides was the the poor lighting in Kichen area and garden was lovely but not enclosed so made it difficult to enjoy with our dog. I would not recommend accommodation for a dog.
Otherwise beautiful location and comfortable stay.

"Our mid year holiday with our friends."
Exceptional barn conversion set in a beautiful village. Plenty of parking which some properties are missing that’s why we booked this.(2cars) Nice courtyard and furniture which was private. Comfy beds. Plenty of utensils. Crockery cooking essentials etc even a chiller for our wine. Had a couple of teething issues but was sorted straight away. Disappointed that there was no information pack for walks, train times, emergency doctors/hospital, and days out in area. Would definitely stay again.

"Lovely barn conversion with loads of lounge space, and a well equipped kitchen."
Large hall area with sofa and chairs was great when preparing to go out and when coming in- and leave your shoes, coats etc. The outside space was great too with seating overlooking the well maintained flowerbed. We were very lucky with the weather and really enjoyed exploring this lovely area from Hendoll Barn as our comfy base. Diolch yn fawr!

"Great place."
The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed the kids loved it. The owner was easy to contact and very helpful with everything we asked about.
There are great walks straight from the door up to the blue lake and beyond! The beach is close and the bar and grill serves good food if you want an evening out.
Would definitely recommend this area for quite family time.
Negatives
A little disappointed there were no gates to keep the dogs safe from the main road and we had no bins for the week as someone supposedly had taken them.

"This property is just great."
The quality of Hendoll has been thoughtfully planned throughout the cottage. The location is great for day trips and the 15-20 minute walk to the beach is wonderful. We met many people to talk with along the way. It is quiet and the patio is a sun trap. A walk out the door with my dog took us up to the old slate quarry with a stunning lagoon and views of the beach and Fairbourne. We were content and relaxed.

"Hendoll Barn is by far, the best cottage we have stayed at."
Lovingly restored, from the moment you walk in the door you are wowed by the cottage. It has a lovely homely feel and provided ample space for our group - 4 adults and 2 dogs.
The location is perfect. Within the Snowdonia National Park you are surrounded by nature, providing stunning walks on your doorstep. Furthermore you are only a 15 minute stroll away from the quaint seaside town on Fairbourne. We cannot recommend this cottage enough and will definitely be back!

"The cottage was amazing, really nicely done and much bigger than we were expecting!"
The local village was nice enough but we caught it out of season so the narrow gauge railway was closed but there are a couple of general stores and the fish and chip shop was really nice! Barmouth was worth a visit, lovely mix of shops and cafes etc and just the other side of the estuary. We got out to see Harlech castle and Porthmadog heritage railway which was another really nice day. Overall we had a great holiday and hope to return one day to see some of the stuff the two kids were a bit too little for!

The problem is the location, although the litt hamlet it sits in is lovely, the surroundings of Fairbourne are reminiscent of Jaywick on Channel 4! If you are looking for a clean, friendly home, with a view to using it as a base, then it’s great.

"The barn is absolutely the best place I have ever stayed, the pictures don't do it justice."
It is very tranquil & it was a very relaxing break for the 3 of us there.
It was nice to sit out in the enclosed courtyard listening to the nearby stream & the trees. The garden has a lot more flora & fauna than the website pictures show.
Rooms & facilities were very comfortable & to a very high standard. The upside down living wasn't a problem to us, though you may have to tip toe around if you have differing sleeping patterns.
It was nice that the doors in the bedroom could actually be opened onto the courtyard, so we made use of the patio furniture for morning coffee.
The other adult with us enjoyed watching various World cup games on the comfy sofas & found the WiFi more than adequate for browsing.
We also ventured out & about. I wish I'd known there was a trekking centre 10 minutes away.
We visited Fairbourne beach ( very quiet ) & the Town of Barmouth ( twice ) . Barmouth has a beautiful beach, with a stunning mountain backdrop.
Also visited Harlech Castle. We ventured a little further afield & went to Llandudno, about an hour & a half drive.
Husband & Son went up to the blue lake behind us, a steep walk but they were impressed.
My only niggles would be no pizza tray amongst the very well stocked kitchen ( very minor niggle ) & the fact that I wish I could afford this for 3 weeks in high season, to make the most of the area.
Will certainly re-book the Barn & would also consider a shorter break for my Husband & me in one of the smaller cottages. Would love to visit this site in the Autumn.
