October 2024

“A fantastic place- great location being only a few minutes away from Conwy by car.”

Owners were really lovely and the place was fully equipped with everything we needed! The hot tub was prepared for us each night which was an unexpected bonus. We’d definitely stay here again.

Thanks for your comments Megan. Hopefully you were feeling refreshed after your relaxing stay. You know where we are now Property Owner
Graham October 2024

“One of the best - maybe the best- self catering properties we've ever stayed in.”

Comfortable, clean, and well cared for. Really well located: only a couple of miles from Conwy/A55, yet with the quietness & rural location that we enjoy. Really lovely & helpful owners as well.

- Graham, October 2024

Thank you Graham. We're so glad you enjoyed the cottage and had such a good time exploring the surrounding walks and countryside. It's a great time to come to North Wales. X Property Owner
Stuart October 2024

“A delightful cottage with everything, and more, that you might need.”

We really enjoyed our break and would definitely recommend . Lovely to meet the owners too.

- Stuart, October 2024

Sorry for the late response Stuart but thanks for rating us so highly. Hopefully we will see you again soon. x Property Owner
Sophie October 2024

“We came to stay here last week to get a short break away and it was fantastic.”

Janet and John were brilliant hosts. Helping with the hot tub, putting on the heating for us on cold mornings and great communication if we needed any help with anything at the cottage. The cottage was spotless, cosy and felt like a home away from home. The hot tub was a great addition to the holiday, using it most nights. A perfect location for a relaxing break away with great access to historical sites and day trips around North Wales.

- Sophie, October 2024

Thanks for your lovely review Sophie. We're always happy to help out with the hot tub - we'll give you a lesson next time Property Owner
Nicola September 2024

“We have just come back from a 6 night stay in the Old stable.”

What a beautiful cottage. Everything was perfectly in place and of high standard and taste. The owners were away but had family down to look after the house and cottage. They made us feel very welcome and arranged the hot tub every evening. We enjoyed meeting them and were quite sad to leave. The town on Conwy was a 5 min drive and the castle is well worth a visit. We went for a jazz evening at The Hayloft at Bodnant foods, this was beautiful and the food was amazing. Lots of great places to visit and walks to explore. We shall definitely be returning to stay at the Old Stable and can highly recommend.

- Nicola, September 2024

Sounds like you had quite a busy time Nicola! So sorry you had to leave early so we didn't get to meet you but hopefully you will be back. Thanks so much for the cards as well. I know Deb & Mike appreciated your feedback. We are so lucky to have them holding the fort for us when we go away x Property Owner
Philip September 2024

“Beautiful cottage shame we wasn't able to stay longer”

- Philip, September 2024

You'll just have to come back again :D Property Owner
John September 2024

“The Old Stable had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.”

We appreciated the additional treats and would happily recommend it to others.

- John, September 2024

Thanks John - much appreciated. Property Owner
Wayne September 2024

“We enjoyed our stay at the old stable really clean and comfortable.”

John sorted hot tub for us for when we got back so was nice and warm. Good location and enjoyed throwing ball for tilly thanks for making us feel welcome.

- Wayne, September 2024

It was lovely to have you both Wayne and Mandy. We are always happy to help with the hot tub if people are a bit wary of the wood-fired element - it's nice to see it being enjoyed. Tilley keeps asking me when you are coming back. Property Owner
Ben August 2024

“Sykes Far and away the best experience we’ve had holidaying in the UK.”

Janet and John are incomparable as hosts- warm, kind and attentive (without being intrusive) and the property is simply stunning- perfect for a couple. Everything is very well maintained with all the mod-cons you need and the cottage is charming with a very cosy feel. The location is great as it’s not far at all from Conwy, meaning you are tucked away but also in easy distance of transport links, as well as Bangor and tourist spots like Snowdon if you are driving. Most days we could have just stayed in the cottage as it was like a home away from home. Absolutely recommend.

- Ben, August 2024

What a lovely review from a lovely person. We really enjoyed meeting you and seeing you enjoy the hot tub and getting out and about to explore. We look forward to welcoming you and Alex again in the future Ben xxx Property Owner
Alison July 2024

- Alison, July 2024

Thanks for your feedback Alison. We really appreciate it x Property Owner
Adrian June 2024

“The Old Stable was a charming property set in the beautiful countryside of North Wales.”

The owners were very welcoming and helpful, giving us plenty of information about walks, places to eat and attractions to visit. They were more than happy to help with instructions and tips for lighting the wood-fired hot tub. We had a relaxing and very enjoyable holiday. Many thanks, Janet and John.

- Adrian, June 2024

Your are very welcome Adrian. You were a joy to have around. x Property Owner
Gemma June 2024

“We had a lovely stay at the Old Stable.”

Janet and John were wonderful hosts and the accommodation was beautifully presented and very clean. Thoroughly recommend!

- Gemma, June 2024

Thanks for your lovely feedback Gemma, although I think our house-sitters, Deb and Mike, need to take some of the credit. I'll pass your comments on to them as well and we look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner
William June 2024

“This has to be one of the best places we have stayed at, Janet and John are fabulous hosts and nothing was any trouble, the stables are just so relaxing with a magnificent hot tub perfect just to unwind.”

The stables were spotless and have everything you need to chill out, Conwy is only 2 miles away with lots of really nice restaurants and cafes , we can’t wait to visit again as we had a great time.

- William, June 2024

And we'll be very happy to see you again William. Thanks for leaving the property so spick and span. Let's hope the weather improves for us all for the rest of the summer. Property Owner
Brian May 2024

“This cottage is the nicest cottage we have stayed in, a credit to the owners, who are a lovely couple very helpful and nothing is to much trouble.”

The cottage is spotless and all the essentials are on hand They respect your privacy, but also very helpful if you need them and we enjoyed talking to them. The cottage is beautiful, we had 3 lovely nights sleep, very peaceful surroundings. The hot tub was very nice with a relaxing glass of wine and if you want total privacy just draw the curtains. Location perfect, short walks or longer to enjoy the surroundings. Conwy is about 2 mile drive away, nice pubs and restaurants. Two pubs which serve food 20min. or 40min walking distance from the cottage. We used the local taxi company one night, very good and reasonable. Yes we will definitely return.

- Brian, May 2024

Hi Brian. Thanks for your lovely feedback and apologies for not responding sooner. We got a bit tied up with prepping for our holiday etc. We're glad you had such a good time and it was a pleasure to meet you both. Great to have a good chat. Hope to see you in the future. Property Owner
David April 2024

“Had a lovely stay here, one of the best properties we have stayed in.”

Cottage was very clean, well equipped with everything we needed and the bed was so comfortable. The owners Janet & John were very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The cottage is in a good location for exploring North Wales. The hot tub was very welcoming after our climb up Snowdon which John kindly kept warm for our return. Would recommend and we will definitely return.

- David, April 2024

Thanks for your lovely comments David and it was great to see you out and about exploring beautiful North Wales. We look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

Clare April 2024

“A relaxing and comfortable stay, we really enjoyed the cottage, it had all the facilities we required, the hotvtub was a great bonus for relaxing on an evening.”

A great location with plenty of local pathways and walks, good also for visits to Conwy and Llandudno. The owners were on hand next door for anything and were so helpful and Fri endly. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

- Clare, April 2024

So nice to have you both and for James to have travelled all the way from the South of France. It was a shame that he didn't bring the weather with him but maybe next time :D Property Owner
Jason April 2024

“We had an amazing stay at this cottage and the owners Janet and John were lovely.”

They were on hand if needed but left us alone to do our own thing, however, if they were around they were only too pleased to offer advice on where to go. The cottage itself was immaculate and the hot tub was easy to use. The location was slightly too far to walk into Conway and back but the taxi service was excellent. We’re definitely going to return the near future.

- Jason, April 2024

Thanks so much for your lovely review Jason. We love our guests to have have a good time and we look forward to seeing you in the future. Property Owner
Hannah March 2024

So glad you and Tom had a good time Harriet. The weather was relatively kind to you considering it is only February. We look forward to welcoming you again Property Owner
Charlotte November 2023

“We loved our few nights staying here, it was a home away from home.”

The hot tub was amazing, and kept warm by the owners who live in the attached house, the cottage itself was incredibly clean and comfy. Would definitely love to stay again in the future :)

- Charlotte, November 2023

Thanks for your lovely review Charlotte and it's great to know you enjoyed the hot tub so much. I think there's nothing better than languishing in there and watching the rain pouring down outside :D We look forward to seeing you again :) Property Owner
Ellen October 2023

“A well equipped and furnished property.”

Everything you could need.The owners were about if needed but certainly not intrusive. Well appointed for visiting North Wales area.Would definitely return if opportunity arises.

- Ellen, October 2023

Thanks for your lovely review Ellen and we look forward to welcoming you again to The Old Stable if you are ever in the area again. Jan x Property Owner
Michelle October 2023

“We had a 4 night break at The Old Stable, I wish we could have had longer.”

The owners were absolutely amazing making us feel well at home and very welcome. They gave us all the privacy we needed and helped us when we wanted to use the wood fired hot tub which is equally amazing. It's super quiet and tranquil if you just want to chill out with a book and a glass of wine. The cottage is so clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. It's home from home. We will definitely be going back. Thank you so much Janet and Jon. We will see you again x

- Michelle, October 2023

Thanks Michelle. I'm delighted you had the chilled break you needed and deserved and thank you for your lovely review. You know where we are if you need us again. xxx Property Owner
John September 2023

“Fantastic break would like to return nextyear.”

Very nice people. Xxx

Elaina September 2023

“The details of this cottage are misleading, the photos of the large garden are not for your use, this is the owners private garden, you only have use of a small courtyard garden.”

Also the hot tub is not included in the price, we were asked to pay an additional £50 to use the tub, which is also overlooked by the owners house, not very private!!! Very disappointing…….

- Elaina, September 2023

Hello Elaina. We're really sorry that you were disappointed with the Old Stable. I think the issue here is that you booked before we had enclosed a private garden for the guests so that the images you viewed at the time would not have reflected this . We apologise if this caused you distress. Current images are now accurate. Also, the hot tub was not fitted at the time of your booking so the price you paid at the time did not include it. This is why we asked for a contribution for water/logs etc. if you wanted to use it. I did explain this in my email before you arrived. I agree there is an element of overlooking but we have fitted curtains inside the hot tub building for the privacy of our guests when they are using it. We have only been operating since April this year and are therefore still evolving. We have had some lovely guests stay with us who have been happy to engage with us and help us shape our offer. The one decision we have made since your visit is that we will no longer accept dogs. I think you will understand our reasons without me going into them here. We hope you find a property more suited to your requirements the next time you visit North Wales. Property Owner
Steve September 2023

“The owners are lovely and were extremely helpful.”

They have promised to update the property manual to include recommended walks for future stays. We were very comfortable for our weeks stay, despite the excessive wet weather.

- Steve, September 2023

Thank you for your review Steve - I'm actually working on the walks to add to the property manual at this very moment. :D It was so nice to meet you both and it was a shame that we weren't around a bit more. I hope my sister and her husband looked after you whilst we were away. Come round for a beer or a glass of wine next time. x Property Owner
Ivan September 2023

“It is a delightful cottage perfect in every way.”

The decorations and accessories are of very good taste every room is great we could not fault the interior. It was lovely to sit outside and view all around us. The owner is extremely pleasant and helpful

- Ivan, September 2023

It was lovely to have you Ivan/Malcolm. Please think of us again the next time you want to visit North Wales. x Property Owner
Dawn September 2023

“Such a lovely, clean, modern yet rustic, little place.”

Perfect setting, close to Conwy and Llandudno. Beautiful scenic walks, very friendly neighbours. Jan, the owner, was so lovely and welcoming. We really couldn’t fault the place, people or location. We will be back for sure!

- Dawn, September 2023

Thank you so much Dawn. We always enjoy having happy/smiley guests :D Property Owner
Peter August 2023

“We have found our favourite hideaway place in North Wales.”

The Old Stable felt like a luxury to place to stay. The pictures on the website do not do it justice, as the cottage is far bigger than what it looks! The place could not be any cleaner. Everything feels new and so comfortable. you have everything you need as gif you were in your own home! The kitchen is stunning with a great dining table with beautiful views to the garden. Location is absolutely perfect with main towns at a 10-15 minute drive and a great variety of nearby hiking experiences. The cottage is very easy to find and it has a little carpark right opposite. The hosts, Janet and John go far and beyond to provide their guests with a very positive and pleasant experience. We were greeted with lovely cakes and we were given some homegrown fruit and vegetables. Janet and John are so a great and friendly couple! We look forward to visiting again and I have already recommend the place to friends. Thanks you so much for such a lovely stay! Peter & Blanca Grindley

- Peter, August 2023

Shucks guys! We really appreciate your kind words. We only want people to have a great time whilst they're here and we'd love to see you again- once your broken arms have mended Peter Property Owner
Marilyn August 2023

“What a lovely comfortable cottage.”

It is in a quiet but convenient location. The owners were very welcoming and helpful. It is dog friendly and our dog certainly had a good time. No issue if you had forgotten anything as there was a basket with blankets, feeding bowls etc. We will definitely go again. Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Marilyn, August 2023

You are very welcome Marilyn and we look forward to seeing you again :D Property Owner
Gill July 2023

“The hosts Janet and John couldn't have been more helpful .”

To my dog Harvey and myself.and were lovely .The cottage is really cosy and as a lone traveller I felt very very safe.

- Gill, July 2023

You are such an inspiration Gill and Harvey is a total sweetie. We will hopefully see you in the future. x Property Owner
Stuart July 2023

“Fantastic cottage.”

Everything we needed for a week away. Located in a beautiful part of Wales and ideally situated to explore the surrounding area. Janet and John were most helpful with local knowledge and informing us if anything was going on at the he property. 5 stars all round, definitely one we would return to.

- Stuart, July 2023

Thank you Jane. We look forward to seeing you, Stuart and Logan again some time X Property Owner
David July 2023

“The Old stable was really nice, very clean and comfortable.”

The location has the best of both worlds being very close to Conwy and the local beaches but set in a very scenic location with walks direct from the door. Janet and John are without doubt the most welcoming hosts we have ever met and nothing was too much trouble to ensure we had everything we needed. We would highly recommend.

- David, July 2023

Thanks for your kind words David - it was a pleasure to have you and Karen staying next door. x Property Owner
Denise April 2023

“Wonderful little property with helpful owners.”

Very comfortable, very well thought out with useful items provided in the kitchen that you might not have taken yourself, eg cling film to wrap your picnic in. Beautiful area in North Wales for walking and wildflowers and trees. We will think about going again later on. Janet sent us good travel directions to avoid roadworks in Conway. From Denny and Malcolm.

The property

Conwy 2.5 miles.

The Old Stable is a converted stable and cart shed, nestled against a 17th century farmhouse at the heart of the small village of Henryd, Conwy.

Enjoying mountain views to the rear, The Old Stable is perfectly located, being just 500m away from the boundary of the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park and only 2½ miles from Conwy.

Make yourself at home in the lounge, curling up on the sofa or armchair.

Put your feet up as you ponder on the day’s events, catch up on your latest “binge-watch” or dive into the selection of board games supplied.

The contemporary kitchen/diner is well equipped for you to cook up your favourite dishes and eat at the round table looking onto the courtyard garden and the view beyond the owners’ garden.

Fling the patio doors open in summer to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.

A bistro set is provided at the front of the property to catch the morning sun; a great breakfast spot.

Up the stairs you’ll find the bedroom, complete with a king-size bed, vaulted ceilings and beams.

A shower room is just outside the bedroom door.

A short drive brings you into beautiful Conwy; an historic walled town with its ancient castle, the smallest house in Britain and the picturesque quay - the perfect place to rest and watch the world pass by.

Blessed with a good selection of independent shops, galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants, you can easily pass a relaxing day here.

There is a plethora of beautiful walks locally or just a short drive away.

Whether you prefer short pub walks from the cottage, views from the nearby Conwy mountain, hiking in Eryri (Snowdonia), roaming around the nearby Bodnant Gardens or RSPB reserve, exploring the Great Orme with its famous goats, or an evening beach walk, all within easy reach.

Dip into the wood-fired hot tub on your return to ease those aching muscles.

The owners live next door so can be on hand to help light it if needed.

If it’s traditional seaside fun you crave, then head into Llandudno just five miles away; with its two beaches, pier and promenade, fun fair, cable-car ride, shops, restaurants and amusements, this Victorian seaside jewel won’t disappoint.

In the evening why not take in a show, film or concert at Venue Cymru?

Higher octane pastimes can be found a short drive away at Llandudno Snowsports Centre or Zipworld.

If mountain or road biking is your passion, safe bike storage is available at the property.

With all this plus Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay, Caernarfon, Anglesey and Betws-y-Coed just a scenic drive away, The Old Stable provides a great break in any season.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

CONWY

Llandudno 5 miles; Betws-y-Coed 16 miles.

Conwy, a World Heritage Site, is without doubt world famous for its historical and architectural heritage, yet at the heart of the town lies a hub of bustling activity. Alongside its ancient festivals and fairs, musical recitals, galleries and historical attractions, there is an array of specialist shops, restaurants and hotels. Built for King Edward I between 1283 and 1287, Master James of St George's design, Conwy Castle remains one of the most outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. The distinctive, elongated shape, with its two barbicans, eight massive towers and a great bow-shaped hall was perhaps determined by the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. The town is proud of its historic traditions and celebrates its past by retaining many of these in its annual festivals, events and fairs, including the Honey fair, Seed fair and Gwledd Conwy Feast in October, along with other musical events throughout the year. Conwy is the perfect base for exploring the dramatic Snowdonia National Park, walking unspoilt sandy beaches, or taking in the wonderful scenery on your doorstep. Also within reach are the Llechwedd Slate Caverns, which has the longest zip wire in Europe, and Surf Snowdonia is just six miles away.
