“We stayed at Hendoll Barn for a week in August, what a beautiful house!”

Very clean and very comfortable. It was a ten minute walk to the beach, a shop and a lovely local pub and a ten minute train journey to the lovely town of Barmouth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. Thankyou

- Mrs Redhead, August 2019
“Absolutely loved this place, location was superb for walkers and dog owners.”

We stayed for two weeks, not sure if we should have had a cleaner after the first week (we did not) as there is no vacuum cleaner in the premises.

- Mrs Crosdale, August 2019
“Nice clean place easy to find”

- Mr Boynton, June 2019
“The accommodation is better than 1st class, we stayed in one of the smaller cottages and we were so pleased we up graded.”

The finish and detail to the Barn Conversion is wonderful we will stay again and will recommend it to friends and family.

- Mrs Huxley, June 2019
“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.

- Mr Jeavons, April 2019
“An amazing property that provided a home from home base for exploring the local area”

- Mr Yatea, March 2019
“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.

- Mrs Rolfe, March 2019
“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!

- Mrs Birchall, December 2018
“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!

- Mr Carr, November 2018
“Hendoll Barn is a lovely property in a great location.”

We had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing few days. Lots of dog walking on the beach and surrounding areas. Blue Lake was walking distance and great to see. We will definitely return.

- Mrs Tinsley, November 2018
“My husband and I needed to ‘get away from it all’ and Hendoll Barn at Friog, Fairbourne certainly didn’t disappoint.”

The barn is beautiful, well equipped and comfortable. The area is very peaceful and we certainly felt refreshed returning home. Would definitely return when we need to get away from it all again

- Ms Cox, September 2018
“Fantastic holiday - brilliant location near the beach, the blue lake and easy access to Snowdonia and the mountains.”

Cottage was excellent - very friendly owner, great facilities, would recommend!

- Dr Valentine, July 2018
“Barn very nice brilliant location”

- Mr Cawthra, July 2018
“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.

- Mrs Forth, June 2018
“We can not fault the house or it’s cleanliness and hate giving it any sort of poor review.”

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.

- Mrs Widdup, June 2018
“Hendon Barn was exactly as advertised.”

It is an amazing Barn which is very well appointed and was perfect base for our Holiday in Wales. It was made even more apealing because it is in walking distance of a beach. Definately would like to go back
