Charming Stay in Harlech

We had a wonderful experience in this special rental. The host was so kind and space was perfect for us. We enjoyed the nearby town, castle, an Afternoon Tea in Port Meirion and a day trip up to Holyhead and Llandudno. We wished we'd had more time this trip to take in the local hiking and lots of other spots. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Love Hen Stabl

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.

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.
