A traditional cottage in a beautiful, peaceful location. A perfect place to relax. Well situated for exploring the stunning Snowdonia National Park and the Welsh highland railway. Caernarfon is nearby with plenty of shops and the Snowdonia park tavern is a short walk away and was very welcoming. We were given helpful information from the owners before arrival and there was a useful information folder in the cottage itself. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend Hendy!

Very good cottage, spacious and clean with lovely hosts. Great location, near to many attractions and places to visit. Few things to note:1. the drive way from the road to the cottage is very bumpy so might not be suitable for smaller vehicles or those with low ground clearance.2. the 3rd bedroom is an annex to the main building, not a problem for most, but if you have middle aged children you need to keep an eye on, it may be for you.3. electricity is additional cost paid at the end of the week on what you use. It's in the advertisment, but you may overlook it (we did). Just something to be aware of. Otherwise - had a great time in Wales and explored a lot of the location.
