Hen Argoed Cottage, LLANFAIR

Rated 5/50 by Andrew E on 4th March 2018

"My family had an very welcome winter break at this cosy cottage which was full of character. The cottage was very clean and well equipped, we particularly liked the wood burning fire even though the central heating kept the cottage nice and warm. The 3 bedrooms were very spacious with 2 double beds. The Wifi worked great for the kids all holiday. The owner was very friendly and welcoming and we would definitely stay here again. We know the area very well and the fantastic Harlech beach is only a short car ride away. We love this beach in Summer or Winter. We went into Barmouth a couple of evenings and although a quiet time of the year we found some life, live music and excellent food at the Last Inn."

"We had a magnificent week as the guests of a lovely family on their working farm. A great deal of thought and effort has gone into this property catering for everything you could possibly need for your stay. We cooked every evening and weren't short of anything in the modern kitchen which had every pot pan and implement you could need. The cottage is extremely spacious compered to other "cottages" - it's more of a house! A large lounge to sit back and watch TV or sit up to the large dinning table. The wifi was excellent and not the usual shared connection you usually get. You can walk down to the local beach or 5 mins to Harlech beach. Down the coast is the amazing Shell Island beach but don't pay to go on the "island" - drive to Llandddwywe and park there. You walk up to the same beach. Up the coast there are more beaches and walks - black sands is where you can park on the beach believe or not. There are some lovely walks around the farm and into the village. We have only just got a dog and this place was perfect - he walked all day and slept all night at the bottom of the steps with the fire guard strategically placed on the steps to let him know he couldn't come upstairs. He was so content with his water and bed on the stone floor and was close enough to know he was still loved and perfectly happy as we did worry about not using a cage anymore. There was a door we could shut so he didn't wander at night - it was absolutely perfect for him and us. We have fallen in love with this area of Wales and will definitely return to this wonderful cottage"

"We loved the cottage, very clean and well equipped kitchen, rooms were generous compared with other cottages we have stayed in. Ideal for exploring this area of Wales, the cottage and area is ideal for walkers. You can have a day off from driving and jump on the train, 10 minute walk from the cottage, fantastic coastal views from the train. Only down side is there are no views from the sitting room."

"Knowing the area extremily well and just wanting a quiet winter half term break with our five and six year olds, we were far from disappointed with Hen argoed. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Loved the history of the cottage with its modern amenities. As we experienced fab weather for February, the view at the top of the lane in a morning, and out of the bathroom window(on tip toes) set you up for the day. Can't fault it and wouldn't hesitate in going again or recommending."

"beautiful character cottage. Stunning wood burning stove. Cosy with a glass of wine on a chilly night. Owners very very friendly and kind. Original wood beams, thick stone walls but with all modernities such as washing machine and dishwasher. Our little boy loved the farm itself and various visitors like Jess the sheepdog, the cat and other little dog. Fabulous to see the cows and sheep from his bedroom window. Great for families. The children will love being ner all he animals Great for couples wanting a romantic getaway too."

"Everything was ready for our arrival with no problems gaining acess to the cottage. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and stocked with all equipment you needed including coal and firewood for the fire which was made up for our arrival. The bedding and towels were freashly laundered and clean. As I have been going to that area of North Wales for a long time I know about the stunning views and surrounding beauty spots. The local shops are easy to get to with larger supermarkets within half an hours drive. The whole time of our stay was very relaxed and it was great to sit in front of the fire at night and feel cosy as our stay was in the autumn and the nights are cold.I can honestly say that there was nothing about our stay that we didn't enjoy."

"When we arrived the beams and low ceilings brought a smile to our face. It was nice to drive up the track and see the farm animals around us and a working farm. The owners were very nice and let us get on with our holiday. The cottage is not for everyone but if you are looking for an old place with fire and character then this is the place. There is a pub in the village and Harlic is only just over a mile away which is slightly bigger. There are plenty of beaches nearby and a nice drive north takes you into lots of walking. We went in November and there were a lot of places closed which was a shame."
