Hen Blaid

• "Hen Blaid is simple clean and modern (smart tv and wifi) and was excellent accommodation for us (two adults and two dogs) for a week stay, during which the weather was awful."

  We still managed many walks - (as described some were straight from the door) and were able to take a few trips out (Bala, Barmouth) if you are prepared for non-urban roads (very narrow, passing places etc.) and add appropriately to your journey time there are some great trips close by. This (speed of travel or the weather) may also be the reason the area was wonderfully quiet. We did a three mile walk every morning and a longer walk every day, mostly on the forestry trails, we never met a person (we bumped into our host and Bob the dog once - and they work there!) there were people down at the dam and the cafes and short walks there. How much of this was due to the weather who knows. We left a couple of old books and a local area map, which might be useful for other guests, also it might be an idea to have the oven and tv manuals in the info pack (not very complicated to work out but easier with manuals) also adding the nearest hospital, doctor and vet to the existing lists provided might be useful. We have neglected Wales over the last few years but now the children are grown this was a wonderful encounter with the heart of the country and lived up to expectation and we hope to return.

  The views were just breathtaking and the cottage itself has been fitted out to the highest standard. Such a pleasure to stay, only sorry we weren't staying longer. Would recommend it as a place to stay to anyone! Diolch

• "Amazing view from the property."

  Picture doesn’t do it justice. Had a problem initially with the wfi, but after a reset everything was fine. Property very clean and as described in the description. Owner was helpful and very approachable. Throughly enjoyed our stay.

• "We had a wonderful time at Hen Blaid, the cottage was really modern and clean and we really can’t fault the facilities."

  The surroundings are breathtaking with incredible views of Lake Vyrnwy, it’s a really calm, quiet place to stay. The facilities in Hen Blaid were perfect for us. The smart tv worked well and that shower is blissful. The bed is really comfy and there is plenty of storage for clothes etc. The one piece of feedback I’d give is the clock in the living room ticks incredibly loudly, you can hear it over the TV and it can also be heard from the bedroom so I did have to remove the batteries from that. Not a major gripe but worth mentioning. Overall my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hen Blaid and would highly recommend it as a lovely place to unwind.

• "Lovely cottage in a great location overlooking Lake Vyrnwy, ideal for a peaceful relaxing holiday."

  The only issues we experienced are; no telephone signal, internet kept dropping out and television picture kept pixilating. The cottage would benefit having better signage on the main road. The addition of a fire pit outside for those chilly evenings for guests to sit under the stars. Also a BBQ for guests to make the most of the outdoors. However we would recommend the property and would book again.

• "We were the first people to stay at this renovated cottage and it was absolutely lovely."

  Very well thought through in its design in an amazing position with exceptional views from the cottage windows (especially the framed view from the bedroom). Little extras that have come to mean a great deal over many years of holidaying in self catering accommodation were all provided. In particular - milk in the fridge on arrival, a bottle of wine and some Welsh cakes. A bath sheet (not a skimpy bath towel) and a supply of tea bags, coffee and sugar sachets (we had forgotten our tea bags so these were particularly welcome as the nearest shop is quite a way). I would suggest that supplies are taken with you rather than waiting until you arrive to stock up. The shower room felt luxurious rather than just functional and there were televisions both upstairs and downstairs. In short, exceptional accommodation and we would definitely return.
