Hen Stabl - A charming 18th century stone character stables conversion

Hen Stabl is an 18th century stone cottage located within the Snowdonia National Park. Originally the cottage was built as the stables to the parish house of Llanfair. Hen Stabl was saved from ruin and refurbished in the late 1990's by order of Snowdonia National Park due to it's significant historic interest to the village of Llanfair.

The living accommodation at Hen Stabl has been totally refurbished over the past eighteen months to include newly fitted kitchen and bathroom. The layout to Hen Stabl is quirky and on the ground floor you will find two bedrooms, and a bathroom leading from a large hallway. On the first floor is the living accommodation with its high vaulted ceiling, it’s a sociable open plan living space consisting of lounge, dining area and kitchen.

There is ample on road parking at the front of the cottage.

Hen Stabl stands in an enviable location for anyone wanting to explore the Snowdonia National Park, the stunning beaches of Harlech and Llandanwg are only a 10/15 minute walk from the front door. At the rear of the cottage there is a large garden with several seating areas which is shared with our second holiday cottage, Ty Golchi, there is a direct footpath approximately 50 meters from Hen Stabl leading to the hills and mountain range of Rhinog Fawr.

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.

Brilliant base for North Wales adventuring
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.

One word - Amazing!
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!

First family holiday…
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.

extraordinary 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.

Lovely Break
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.

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.

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.

Upside Down
Wonderful property, clean, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. In a small village very quiet but a short drive from Porthmadog and Barmouth in either direction and within a few minutes drive from the amazing beach at Harlech. I loved the property and wouldn’t hesitate to book it again or recommend it to anyone.

Quirky stone cottage
We had an amazing stay at Hen Stabl and our break was made easy by the clear communication with the owner. The cottage is really quirky with open views of Shell Island and the sea. We loved every minute of our stay and will definitely be back! Thank you.
