Hen Ysgubor is a spacious and well-equipped cottage in a beautiful rural setting, ideal for relaxing breaks and exploring the Welsh coast. Guests praise the comfortable beds, cleanliness, and stunning views, with easy access to local walks, the beach, and the Mawddach Trail. The property is dog-friendly and offers thoughtful touches, such as welcome packs, though some mention minor issues like kitchen inventory and occasional noise from neighbouring accommodation. The friendly owners and peaceful location make it a popular choice for return visits.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as very clean and well maintained, with particular praise for the cleanliness of the beds and bathroom. Only one review mentions a minor issue with flies, which is attributed to the rural, working farm location.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for walks, with easy access to the beach, local shops, and scenic trails. Some guests note it is a little remote, but this is generally seen as a positive for relaxation.
Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, a cosy atmosphere, and spacious rooms. The cottage is also noted as suitable for guests with restricted mobility. Only one review mentions noise from upstairs accommodation as a drawback.
The cottage is described as well equipped, with amenities such as parking, enclosed garden, and a tuck shop on site. Some guests suggest improvements to the kitchen inventory and mention dated decor, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Several guests mention welcome packs with bread, milk, and cakes, and praise the friendly, responsive owners. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect them as standard.

The location of this property is ideal for both Fairbourne (15 mins walk) and Barmouth (45 mins walk). The property its self is well maintained. The key was in the door on arrival. Garden is enclosed which is great as we had 2 dogs.The kitchen items need reviewing as there was no wire rack for the grill pan.There was a gift of bread, milk and Welsh cakes which was great.

We absolutely loved our stay here this past weekend, the cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed for a self catering weekend away. The location was amazing, you felt like you were in the middle of nowhere, it was peaceful but you were only a short walk or drive away from places. We visited with my mother in law who has restricted mobility and the cottage was perfect for her, she loved it and has already asked when we can return. We can’t wait to come back.
