We had an amazing stay for Christmas, the cottage was beautifully decorated with Christmas music playing on our arrival. It had everything we needed for a family of four and is in a beautiful location for beach and hill walk, and Gary was on hand of we needed anything We would definitely visit again.
We had such a great stay. Hen Stabl was exactly as it was said to be and more. Beautifully appointed with everything we needed waiting for us. Touches of home made our stay that much more comfortable - Gary even had a fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room for us :-)) Plenty of space for four of us with super comfy beds and lounge area. Relaxing by the log fire at the end of each day was just as we had imagined. We loved coming "home" after exploring the gorgeous area each day. We loved our visit to Wales and would happily come back to Hen Stabl.
Excellent communication from the host. Spotlessly clean and beautifully presented cottage. Had everything we needed, great quiet location close to everywhere we needed. The sun shone and we had an amazing time with great family memories made.
We as a family really enjoyed our stay at Hen Stabl, the cottage is immaculate and done to a really nice standard.
A great location with some nice local walks down to the beach.
Gary as a host was great, really welcoming and helpful.
Lovely cottage, looks smaller on the outside. It is very well equipped and well furnished.
Location was brilliant! Would live to stay here again in the future!
What a wonderful place , from the moment of booking the communication was excellent, the cottage was immaculate and lovely to find a gift voucher for the Harlech grocery store which provided us with all our nutritional needs.
We stayed for a week over the Easter school holidays and had a really wonderful time. The property was exactly as pictured and featured everything needed for a really relaxing stay. We enjoyed warm evenings by the fire and slept very well in the comfortable beds. It's the perfect bolthole after a day out in the countryside.
Everything about our stay was wonderful. We toured all over northern Wales and it was such a joy to return to our cozy accommodation at the end of each day. Loved every minute. There was a bunch of yummy goodies waiting for us when we checked in. The hosts were wonderful.
We stayed over Christmas - it was an amazing little place to get away from the city and spend quite time with the family, very cosy! Also looks like a great place to visit in summer, close to beach, sailing, trail walks and sight seeing locations. Great for a small family I.e. couple with two kids or even a couples getaway. Furnishings are really nicely done too and a kitchen with everything you need!
Lovely property to stay at with a large back garden for the kids to run around in. Good location in terms of access to beaches and other places, such as Portmeirion and Porthmadog.
Gary was an excellent host and was always at hand if we needed anything. Would definitely stay in this accommodation and location again.

Beautiful place
Gary’s place is perfect and such a well appointed cottage. The locality is ideal being a walk from the beach and short drive into the hills plus the communication and hospitality was excellent. We’ll be back!
Highly recommend Hen Stabl. Gorgeous, comfortable, well designed accommodation with great attention to detail. One of the nicest we have stayed in. Great location to beautiful local beaches and good access to Snowdon. Gary was very welcoming and responsive to messages. 100% recommend.
Upon arrival everything was perfect in order. Even the fireplace was lighted. The host Gary is always around and replies on messages within minutes. Great host, great place, great stay!
It was an extraordinary beautiful house. The entire holiday flat was tastefully furnished to a high standard. The bedroom had enough storage space for clothes and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious, clean and met all requirements. All the necessary kitchen utensils were available and of good quality. The living room and dining room area as well as the overall ambience was cosy and beautiful.
We were completely satisfied and would love to come back.
We had a wonderful autumn weekend . This is a gorgeous property in the perfect setting . We walked into Harlech ,down to the beach and enjoyed cosy evenings in front of the fire playing cards .

Hen Stabl - a charming property
A lovely property - clean and warm. It was very well equipped with good quality bedding and towels and the kitchen provided everything that you would need. The welcome basket in the kitchen, coffee, tea, sweets and welsh cakes was a lovely touch. Would definitely recommend.
We had an enjoyable holiday at the Hen Stabl. The place was spotlessly clean and the child gate was fitted ready for our stay with our 18 months old.
The location is lovely and quiet. It is also located near to the beach.
Gary was very welcoming and on hand if need. We would highly recommend staying at the Hen Stabl.

Perfect
As stated in other reviews already, this cottage is absolutely beautiful and very well equipped. The location allows for easy access to the region, be it gorgeous beaches or the mountains. We've thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can gladly confirm that Gary has succeeded in creating a home from home. We hope to return.
We loved the house so much we returned the following October. Brilliant again, did loads of walking locally and the sun shone for most of the holiday. Thank you for your little gem x
