    Very homely and very well equipped. Location is good for exploring although there were only 1 restaurant or pub within walking distance. Towels could have been nicer. Looked a bit worn and quite small. Sian (the owner) was very quick at responding and sorting out an instance that occurred

    Thank you Sally for providing us with your feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a pleasant stay. Your comment regarding the towels has been noted and will be fed back to the laundry provider. Sian and Simon, Yr Hen Dy Capel. Property Owner

    . the only comment would be, to have nicer and bigger bath towels. A small silly comment but think they can be improved that’s all. Otherwise it was great!!

    Would have preferred if the bed linens were clean, also there were a lot of cob webs all around the house.

    Thank you for your feedback Ms Kale. We are very disappointed to learn that your experience at the cottage was below standard. We make every effort to provide all our guests with clean and comfortable accommodation, as noted in the excellent feedback received from our previous guests. Had these matters been brought to our attention on arrival they would have been addressed immediately. Nonetheless, your feedback has been noted and will be continuously monitored. Yr Hen Dy Capel.

  • "We loved our stay at Yr Hen Dy Capel."

    It is conveniently located for exploring Snowdonia with lots of great walking routes around. The cottage was clean, had everything we needed and was nicely decorated and presented (I loved your wool blankets!) We loved lighting the wood burner in the evenings and sitting down to watch tv and play games at the end of each day. The owners even left a little welcome package with a cake, a bottle of wine and dog biscuits, which were all well received and appreciated. We would definitely recommend the cottage and would not hesitate to book it again. On a separate note, we think Sykes cottage is one of the best rental sites. The app is easy to use and navigate, with all the info at your fingertips. The booklet with instructions and information about the rental property which was at the cottage was also well put together. Well done Sykes!

  • "We found it a really wonderful house with great bath and shower and general facilities and very tasteful decor."

    Thank you very much for providing hard copies of instructions for everything - we would have been lost without it as we aren't very good at looking things up on our phones. The only thing we were a bit unhappy about was that there isn't a big enough pan to cook pasta for 5 - we were 3 adults plus a hungry 15 year old and 11 year old. With that lovely big colandar for draining pasta we found this strange. A smaller sieve would be good too for washing fruit and vegetables. What the place needs is a pasta pan with steaming pans on the top to do vegetables. We enjoyed the giant oblong dish in the cupboard and as I had brought the Quick Roasting Tin recipe book we used that dish every day. With that fierce electric hob we found the three thin frying pans a trial. Otherwise it was a really excellently fitted out place to spend our holiday in.

Walk past your private enclosed patio area and through the front door to be greeted by a homely spot to spend your holiday.

Step into the sitting room and take a seat into the plush sofa, lighting up the woodburning stove for that extra bit of warmth in the winter months, this room makes a great spot to spend a relaxing evening when you’re not exploring the delights of the local town.

To the other side of the property is the contemporary-styled kitchen/diner, here you can prepare tasty treats using the supplied essentials, enjoy a family game night around the dining table, and toast to a wonderful holiday.

On the first floor are the two bright and airy bedrooms, featuring a double and a twin room.

Within reach by a scenic car journey you can find Portmeirion, an attractive Italianate village boasting character and charm, it’s well-worth a visit as well as Criccieth and Harlech Castles and various beautiful beaches.

With access to the picturesque harbour of Porthmadog too, Yr Hen Dy Capel is a wonderful base for exploring both the coast and countryside of North Wales.
