  Lovely cottage, tastefully converted from an attached stone outbuilding.

  The property owner was very friendly and helpful and was available if we needed any help. Comfortable furniture and lovely decor. Outside space was lovely but unfortunately as it was November we were unable to sit out and enjoy it. Kitchen was well equipped but I was intrigued why we should need 3 different ways of making a cup of coffee! In the end I went out and bought a jar of instant! Handy for the Spar supermarket which was well stocked. There were 3 maintenance issues which Peta was aware of and she assured us that they would be put right.(Two on the stairs and the cupboard on the landing which wouldn't stay closed) The only problem we found was the stairs, as they were steep, had a bend in them and the only 'aid' was a looped rope on the stone wall. It looked very attractive and was in keeping with the decor, but as two 80-year olds, we struggled to get up and down to the bedroom and the bathroom. From our point of view a rigid hand rail would have been better. The cottage was as advertised a 10 minute walk from the beach but as the road to it was down a very steep road, we only walked there once and were reluctant to drive to the car park at the bottom in case the car 'ran away' with us. The whole area is really beautiful and we felt we had missed out because we were restricted by our inability to walk very far. Perhaps we didn't read the information given for this cottage closely enough and we should have chosen somewhere different but all in all we enjoyed our stay there. However it is unlikely that we will go back.

  Another wonderful stay at this lovely cottage.

  Having scoured the internet for a cottage on the peninsula, I couldn’t find anything to match it - hence the revisit. It’s the perfect balance of remote and accessible: it feels like it is in the wilds but other property near enough that it doesn’t feel isolated and I was happy to stay there travelling solo. There are walks from the door step ( to Criceath and Borth-y-Gest) but it’s also easy to get to all points on the peninsula and up into Snowdonia - favourite spots this time were Mynydd Mayr ( at the far tip of the peninsula) and Nant Gwrtheyrn ( on the north coast) - both great spots for walking. The cottage is very very peaceful, the decoration lovely and the bed was fine, although firmer than my one at home ( and the bath is great!). The track down is bumpy with some puddles but not flooded despite all the rain- just take it slowly. The bottom coast road from black rock sands through to Morfa Bychan and Porthmadog is flooded and doesn’t look like it will open any time soon, but you’re fine if you follow the instructions on how to get to the cottage ( just ignore the road closed sign where you turn off by the railway bridge). Had a brilliant time. Thank you for such a lovely restful stay in my “happy place”!! Hope to be back!

  We had a great week Bwthyn Bach the cottage is really lovely and comfortable.

  Lovely touches like quality bedding and being in control of the heating was great. The welcome pack was very much appreciated too. There is a small garden out the back with a table and 2 chairs such a nice place to relax in the evening sunshine after a hard day's walking on the nearby coastal paths. We even had a visit from 3 little lambs in the garden that totally confused our dog when they started playing with her as she thinks she should do the chasing. The cottage is ideally situated with great walks and beachs in all directions right from the front door. Very close to major towns and only 30 Mile's or so from Snowdonia range of mountain walks. We had a couple of issues with kitchen equipment while we were there, which I mentioned to Peta the owner. Peta took the issues on board and took action to solve them. Thank you Peta for a lovely place to stay we will definitely be visiting again soon.

  We had a wonderful couple of days at the cottage at Hen Beudy.

  The location is wonderful, very peaceful and yet only a 10-15 minute leisurely walk down to the local beach at Black Rock Sands. We met the owner on our arrival (he was cutting the lawn at the rear of the cottage) and he was very polite and helpful in terms of giving us advice of things to see and do, and a little background on the cottage. The cottage itself is absolutely wonderful (inside and out). The attention to detail inside is fantastic and the views from the cottage and outside are both wonderful. We enjoyed spending time in the evening outside watching the sheep and lambs and listening to nature. We would love to return again shortly to this wonderful cottage and location. Thank you again to the owner for the warm welcome and the opportunity to stay at Hen Beudy. Matt & Caroline

  We had a very enjoyable week staying in this beautiful cottage!

  It was everything we hoped for and more, the location is remote enough that you feel closer to nature but not so remote you are completely cut off. We only used our car twice during the week as there are a lot of lovely and long walks on the doorstep. We spoke to the owner on the second day as he was passing by, and I was delighted to learn that he had done most of the artwork in the cottage. Just a small heads up for people with small ramshackled cars like ours, the drive up to the cottage is rather bumpy and pot holey so take it slow. Also we struggled to find the wifi code, it is within the wifi box and bin bags are under the sink. But I cannot stress how much we enjoyed our very comfortable stay here! We would most certainly love to visit again!
