  Absolutely charming little cottage, full of local character, with slate and stone evident throughout the sympathetic conversion.

  Modern facilities include Sky TV and WiFi, and BluRay player. The downstairs bed and sofas were very comfortable - as was the garden furniture. The Howdens style kitchen had everything we needed for storing, cooking and serving our food. The surroundings and scenery were beautiful, with easy access to North and South coasts of Pen Llŷn, along well made country lanes, and A roads. We didn’t see a single pothole after leaving England! Pwllheli has a wonderful selection of modern shops (Wilko, Home Bargains, Asda, Lidl - and a Wetherspoons!) cafes, and gift shops. From Hendy, if you turn right at the gate, you will travel along a single track road passing down through a pine forest, until you emerge opposite the Funeral Director in Llanaelhaearn (important landmark!) - turn right, then left at the roundabout, and you will find yourselves climbing up and around Yr Eifl, until you see a sign pointing right for Nant Gwrtheyrn, which has the most incredible scenery, café, and challenging cliff path in North Wales! The best Chip Shop and Chinese takeaway is Yummy Box - run by Billy (Bing Lin) and they stayed hot until we got back to Hendy Cottage! This is a truly special place, with horses, Highland Cattle, and a Cock Pheasant as our neighbours, who helped us enjoy our wonderful holiday at Cae’r-ferch Ganol

  The cottage was wonderful, quirky and comfortable.

  The wood burner was amazing and the kitchen had everything you could need. The welcome pack of coffee, tea, milk, sugar, Welsh cakes and a bottle of wine was a lovely thoughtful touch. Some instructions for the fan oven and grill would have been helpful and a washer dryer would have completed all needs. The only other disappointments were that it was said there were walks from the door. You can indeed walk from the door but the lanes are extremely narrow and those drivers who appear familiar with them do drive very fast so it's neither pleasant or easy with dogs or small children also the garden(s) are not actually secure as described and easily got out of by our inquisitive pup who then had quite a nerve wracking adventure amongst the highland cattle in the neighbouring fields. Fortunately the farmer was extremely understanding and no harm done on this occasion. Having said that we would happily return somewhat better prepared and aware of these things because nothing detracts from the cottage itself and the fantastic location.

  My husband and I with our two children and two large dogs stayed at the cottage and absolutely loved it!

  My husband at 6'2" tall did bang his head a few times BUT we absolutely knew what we signed up for, the description of low ceilings and beams was perfectly clear in the description, personally at 5 foot I found it great. Our children had the upstairs bedroom and we had the ground floor bedroom, the rooms were lovely and clean and well furnished. On the first morning I drew the curtains and found a very curious fluffy cow staring at me with impressive horns, a lovely start to the day. The location was wonderful - so quiet and peaceful with fantastic views, plus can reach the coast easily along with many other activities. The kids thought it was great as they had the upstairs and excellent access to the internet. The dogs loved it as well, there was a enclosed area via french doors for them to wander around in and also a front garden to run around in. All in all a lovely cottage in a lovely location.

  We enjoyed our stay at Henry cottage.

  It is warm and cosy. The log burner is lovely and easy to use. Enough fuel for one fire only so you need to buy your own. Location is very remote, nearest shop is 4 miles away and very expensive. We thought it was a shame that no simple welcome pack was left like milk, tea etc as we travelled for over 3 hours, arrived quite late at night and had to immediately go out again and find the local Londis to be able to have a drink. The garden is pretty secure but be careful if you have large dogs as the fencing is quite low. Our son enjoyed being bale to use the extra lawn for football practice ! The beds are comfy and bed linen and towels are good quality and plenty of towels are provided. As stated by others the ceilings in the kitchens and the shower are VERY low so take care if you are tall. We visited lots of local areas such as Abersoch and porthmaddog.

  Hendy Cottage is a lovely, cosy, rustic cottage next to the hills, along 2 miles of single track country lanes with passing places.

  It has a very well equipped kitchen. Guests can use TV and Wifi and a games cupboard for evenings in. Beds were comfy. The cottage is very secluded and peaceful, miles from shops or nearest village so shop for food before arriving. Property unsuitable for people who cant climb ladders to the 1st floor double bedroom. Unfortunately there is no bath but there is a very novel slate tiled shower to use. The garden has a large eating area, great for outdoor eating. Bring your own solar fairy lights. The field next to the garden had friendly horned cattle and horses coming to the fence to say hello. We and our two dogs really enjoyed our stay at Hendy Cottage and would definately return to holiday there again. Chris and Nick Wiley.
