Guests say
Hendy Cottage is highly praised for its cosy charm, peacefulness, and beautiful surroundings. Guests appreciate the mix of modern conveniences with traditional cottage feel, and the location is ideal for exploring Snowdonia and the coast. The garden and views are particularly loved, contributing to a restful and enjoyable stay.
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it being very clean and well-maintained. This suggests a consistent standard of cleanliness that guests can expect.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquility, stunning views, and proximity to local attractions. It's remote enough for a restful experience yet accessible for exploring the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia.
Comfort is frequently noted, with guests finding the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable. However, some guests mention low ceilings and a challenging staircase, which could affect the comfort level for taller individuals or those with mobility issues.
Facilities are generally good, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and useful outdoor furniture. However, there are comments about the lack of a bath, hairdryer, and some safety concerns regarding the staircase, which slightly lower the score.
Guests have mentioned a welcome pack with treats, which reflects thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and not all reviews mention them, the score reflects the positive feedback while acknowledging the variability of this offering.
About this property
Chwilog 4 miles. This lovely, rustic, detached 17th century cottage is situated just four miles from the village of Chwilog and just over eight miles from Criccieth on the Llyn Peninsula. The cottage appeals to couples looking for a romantic rural retreat, or friends and small families wishing to explore this beautiful part of North Wales with the wonderful countryside and coast to explore, an ideal get away from it all. Situated next to the main house of the old Hendy Farm Estate and believed to have been one of the barns, this cottage is a haven of rustic charm. If you are an artist or writer and are looking for some inspiration, then look no further than the splendid scenery and landscape around you.
Wherever you look, the cottage is just oozing charm and character. The sitting room has real appeal with its high beamed ceiling and spiral staircase up to a lovely snug area, an ideal place to tuck yourself away with that book you've been meaning to finish. The warming woodburner is a lovely feature to the room and the patio doors allow the outside in. Mind your head on the low beamed ceiling in the well-equipped country-style kitchen with quarry tiled flooring. The ground floor king-size bedroom is light and spacious and the crog loft king-size bedroom completes this lovely beamed cottage.
The garden is large with a secluded sitting area where you can enjoy the fantastic country and sea views with a morning coffee whilst planning the day ahead, or just enjoy the garden after a day full of discoveries to re-live memories of the day's events. There are numerous country walks from the door and a short drive away is the town of Pwllheli, with its numerous shops, pubs, restaurants, award-winning marina and beautiful beaches, just waiting to be discovered. Criccieth Castle is only eight miles away, and a little further afield is the Snowdonia National Park and all its attractions, just waiting for you to explore and enjoy.
Take a ride on the Ffestiniog or Welsh Highland Steam Railways at Porthmadog, or visit the Italian village of Portmeirion. Blaenau Ffestiniog is close by with attractions such as Llechwedd Slate Caverns, Zipworld Titan, Bounce Below and Antur Stiniog Mountain Bike Centre with its various downhill trails, ensuring there really is something for everyone. This delightful cottage is an ideal retreat to be enjoyed all year round.
