“We had to clean the cottage on arrival due to all the cobwebs like something out of great expectations.”

There was also a wasp nest above the bedroom window so could not have it open. We tried to make the most of it but unfortunately it was not to be, came home 2 days early as just not able to stay. Overall the worst holiday break we've had since the early 80's.

- Reg, September 2023

Complaints are considered as a sign of when things have gone wrong, but they can also offer us the opportunity to address any issues and be allowed to put thing right, unfortunately, you did not give us the opportunity to do so. As we live on site I personally asked if everything was satisfactory the following morning and you informed it was. The cottage is and has always been cleaned and prepared to the highest standard as proven by our 99.9% positive feedback over several years of hosting. I personally inspected the cottage prior to your arrival and confirmed it was in the usual high standard of cleanliness. Taking into account your two complaints, the cottage being an old but converted barn in farmland is prone to the occasional spider’s web which can appear only hours after cleaning. With regards the wasp’s nest in the apex of the roof we were powerless to rectify this as you only informed us on the morning of your departure. Again, this is an aspect of rural life and would have been sorted if you would have given us the opportunity to have done so. We apologise if this impacted on your stay to the extent you had to cut short your holiday. Property Owner

Nicola April 2023

“My husband and I had a fabulous week long stay at Hen Yr Beudy, it was clean, cozy and a great base to return to after a day exploring the beautiful countryside, everything we needed was there, couldn't fault it!”

Our host Steve was welcoming and shared his knowledge of the local area and recommended places to visit. We spent most of our time exploring further afield in Snowdonia National Park, but more locally to Hen Yr Beudy, the walk across Barmouth estuary was beautiful as was the Tallylynn Steam Railway through the valley, passing Dolgoch Falls. We would happily return

- Nicola, April 2023

Many thanks, welcome back anytime Property Owner

We will definitely be returning and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s an ideal getaway from all the hustle and bustle of town life and everyone we met or spoke to were lovely and friendly.

Peter September 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay particularly having the use of the Woodburning fire.”

The owners recommendation for dining locally was spot on. We had pre-booked the Peniarth Arms before our stay. The only criticism is that there was a layer of dust in the property on our arrival.

- Peter, September 2022

We always give the property the upmost attention to cleanliness for our guests. As a result this is reflected in the positive feedback of all guests to date, and we look at complaints or criticisms as an opportunity for improvement, I inspected the property prior to your arrival and found it to be of the highest level of cleanliness. We hope any dust didnt impact on your overall enjoyment and experience whilst staying at Yr Hen Beudy. Property Owner
Richard September 2022

“We really loved your cottage thankyou.”

Great location for exploring the area - the combination of lovely beaches and hilly/mountainous scenery is perfect. Some properties are quite inconsistent with what is supplied in the way of crockery and equipment etc. but everything we needed we found in the cottage. Cosy and comfortable! So much to see in the area that we need to come back. Thank you

- Richard, September 2022
Malcolm August 2022

“Wonderful little cottage,providing all that was needed for two, during a sun blessed week for well needed rest and relaxation.”

It's location made you feel you were remote yet local town, beaches, walks were not far away. We shall return.

- Malcolm, August 2022
Chris July 2022

“Lovely cottage in an ideal location for exploring the area.”

If we could change one thing it would be to add a washing machine

- Chris, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback. I am not sure why anybody would want to wash and iron on holiday, and not looking to supply such a facility at Yr Hen Beudy. We are glad you enjoyed the area. Property Owner

“Lovely stay at this beautiful propery.”

Owner was very helpful indeed on places to eat and things to see. Had everything we needed. Me and my partner had an amazing 4 nights here. The cottage is surrounded by scenic views of rural wales and the sea .

- Mahmoodur, May 2022
Mark April 2022

“This is a delightful place to stay, set in beautiful surroundings with a working farm on the door step and the beach just down the road.”

Steve and Lesley are wonderful, welcoming hosts and made our holiday feel like a home from home. My one problem, due to my arthritic knees, was getting up from the sofa which is quite low but a big plus for me was the grab rail in the shower. If only more people would put one in place for we folks who have some mobility issues. Loved it, loved it, loved it and will return. We will definitely return to

- Mark, April 2022
Michael March 2022

Goronwy May 2021

“Limited headroom in the bedroom - but that was to be expected and obvious from the photos on the website, and so not really a problem.”

A really lovely conversion of this cowshed into great accommodation for two, warm and cosy!

- Goronwy, May 2021
Alexandros April 2021

“Excellent Excellent Excellent on every level.”

The accommodation is second to none. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and charming. The countryside and views exceptional. The hospitality from Lesley and Steve exceeded any expectations. What wonderful people. We were cared and catered for. Our privacy was respected at all times and we were welcomed with open arms. You will not be disappointed. Exceptional is an understatement. Thank you for making our break relaxing.

- Alexandros, April 2021
Clare October 2020

“Exceptional!”

Spotlessly clean, very comfortable, cosy, warm, dry, homely in an outstanding location. The cottage is deceptively larger than the picture, layout is quirky which adds to the enjoyment. Steve and Lesley who own the cottage have us a warm welcome and our outstanding hosts but are not in your face, you know they are there but none of the windows overlook their home so you do feel secluded but not miles from anyone. It is off a beaten track but you’re not far from a Welsh main road, so not loads of traffic but makes exploring Snowdonia really easy. The cottage is in a very quiet and elevated position so views are wonderful, so if you are looking for peace and quiet this is perfect. The cottage is lovely and warm and evenings are relaxing comfortable and very homely. Facilities are excellent, kitchen has everything you need and high spec, en-suite has lovely big shower and lounge has Sky tv, videos, log burner and gorgeous thick stone walls so well insulated. Book a stay here and you will not be disappointed (I even had a birthday cake left which was a fantastic surprise).

- Clare, October 2020
Beverley October 2020

“We had a great time at this delightful cottage with a very helpful host who was available but not intrusive.”

Very quirky design - entering onto a mezzanine landing with stairs down to the lounge or up to the bedroom. Off the beaten track yet within easy reach of a number of lovely places of interest.

- Beverley, October 2020
M September 2020

“A lovely little place in a very quiet position and a good base for exploring the area of Mid & North Wales, we were pleasantly surprised how much there is to do in the area.”

Steve our host was very informative and helpful with what was about & available if we needed to know anything else. All in all a perfect fortnight in the perfect place, will definitely return again, thanks Steve & Lesley.

- M, September 2020
Yvonne August 2020

“We thought it would of been better if the owner of the cottage had more information about the surrounding area, we just felt like we where a bit in the dark about what was available: such as where to walk or where the shops where also activities?”

Taxis ect

- Yvonne, August 2020

Thank you for leaving feedback, on arrival at the property we met and I was able to give you the numbers for 3 local taxi firms, and some advice about the local area. There are leaflets and maps in the property for ideas on days out and walks etc, the property also has fast broadband to research the local area. I am very local to the property and I am on hand to answer any queries swiftly. Regards, the owner of Yr Hen Beudy. Property Owner
Megan August 2020

“Had the most dreamy and wonderful stay at Yr Hen Beudy!”

A true home away from home - so comfortable and cosy. Adored the little touches in every space. Lovely surrounding areas and walks! The owners were very welcoming and we are so grateful for a beautiful few days and special memories.

- Megan, August 2020
Katie August 2020

“We had the best weekend in this little cottage.”

Everything was so nicely done and immaculate. The area was absolutely beautiful and the views to die for. Wish we had booked for longer than the weekend. Would definitely go back!

- Katie, August 2020
Melissa July 2020

“A beautiful place, comfortable and secluded.”

It is a long way from anything though.

- Melissa, July 2020
Elizabeth July 2020

“The perfect place to stay at this time of social isolation, you can chose to be with others in popular resorts or enjoy the perfect peace of your own luxury cow shed!”

The setting is perfect with the owners on hand should you need anything but .you probably won't as they have already thought of everything. A superb conversion, warm, welcoming and ideal for a couple to re-charge their batteries. You can walk or drive to many beautiful places, the scenery is wonderful whatever your choice. A homely lounge, a spacious dining kitchen, a large beamed bedroom and a great shower. An attractive outside space to enjoy your coffee in peace. Everything for a wonderful break.

- Elizabeth, July 2020
Terry March 2020

There is a dining area for those romantic candle lit suppers and a well-appointed kitchen which provides everything you need to prepare them.

The pretty bedroom has a king-size bed and exposed beams add charm and character, with a stunning en-suite shower room.
