From the moment we arrived at Hen Dy we felt at home. The cottage had all we needed for a comfortable stay, it was clean and ideally located to explore the North of Wales.

The house is very clean and tidy and, being thick stone walls, is nice and cool. We had no need to take advantage of the wood burner in the lounge (July holiday) but I'm sure in the colder months it would have been so nice. The Kitchen is fully equipped and there's plenty of plates, cutlery, mugs, glasses and cooking equipment (we even did a bit of baking). The lounge is large and plenty of seating. Bedrooms and matresses are very comfortable - I slept better in the bed than I do at home. There's plenty of plug sockets around for charging phones and tec, WiFi was quick and speedy. The house is not too far away from Bangor for supermarket/shops (10 mins) and theres a decent amount of food places that deliver from apps (Just East/Deliveroo). I will definately stay here again when visitng the area Hide
