"Our family loved our stay at Hen Gapel, a beautiful cottage set in the most perfect tranquil location."
Escape the hustle and bustle to stay in this well equipped and finished cottage, a well fitted kitchen for all your cooking needs. Lovely comfortable beds with the most breathtaking views from the bedroom windows! Our children loved exploring the nearby wild swimming pools on one of the many walks close by the house. We will definitely be heading back to Hen Gapel very soon, the owner was so helpful with local suggestions and places to visit.

"Living room was dark and gloomy, bushes outside hinder light,
Needed a good spring clean it looked as if it had not been used for a while , many cobwebs."
Especially on the bottom bunk bed and stairs,
Kitchen utensil drawers dirty ,
Mold on the bottom of the shower doors downstairs .
All light pulls very dirty at the bottom , I washed and disinfected them, but left the fan pull ,dirty .
Medication we had taken and had on the dinning room,went soft in the tablet dispensers ,it was cold and felt damp in the dinning room,
The long winding road up to the cottage wasn’t explained in the details,
Also the ‘quick sharp showers’ explained by the owner, as to save water isn’t in Skyes details,
We had to drive 2 miles to deliver our rubbish bags to a street side skip , nowhere on the property to leave them until the end of the week,
The room layouts were good, lovely building. Our grandchildren enjoyed themselves , especially the upstairs living room which was a bonus, ,and memories built, we did not feel it was worth £1600 for a week even in August.
Plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas .
Thank you for your comments. I am so sorry you found fault with my property. You could have contacted us at the time. I have a cleaner and handyman nearby. You had also been in regular contact with me. The property has been used regularly since April and no one else has found any faults with the cleanliness of the house. There is heating in the property so I certainly do not understand the medication issue, the property is not damp. The rubbish collection point is conveniently situated for the whole valley on the road leading from the valley, no one else in 10 years has commented on this. We do not get a collection at the property. The road to Hen Gapel is winding as it is in a remote location, this is mentioned as is the borehole water supply. I know you did not have the best weather but I hope you managed to get out a little locally and enjoy the wonderful location the property is situated in. Property Owner

"Amazing place in a great setting, The lack of mains water was a bit of an issue but a bit quirky rather that too problematic,
Surprisingly the floors had not been cleaned under side tables etc."
Our dogs ball kept coming out fluffy!?!
As we lost half a day on arrival due to the extended cleaning requirements and had to take towels and bedding for covid that felt a bit of a let down considering the price we paid. At >£200 per night I expected better

"Lovely house in great location if you want to be up in the hills away from the crowd with an amazing view."
House very comfortable with something for everyone with our age range from 7 to 80 although you do need to be mobile to get around the property. The owners make you very welcome and make every effort to ensure all goes well with your enjoyment of the house and holiday. The journey from the main road to the house is an adventure all on its own which adds to the experience if you embrace it and follow the directions as given both on the website and by the owner. All in all a great family holiday across three generations.

"We went with 6 of our friends and had a ball."
The cottage was really comfortable and was just like being in a home not a holiday let. All of us love the countryside and walking so we couldn't have stayed anywhere better. We didn't leave the cottage much but there were loads of things to see and do in the surrounding area. Absolutely wonderful.
