Hen Gilfach Reviews

The property owner met us on arrival and was extremely helpful and attentive. We really enjoyed our stay.
We where 2 family's that stayed over Christmas and loved it. It was spacious and the children loved they had their own living room. Kitchen had everything you need and bedrooms where big. Very clear and would come.back
Pauline
Positives Gorgeous location the views were amazing. The house is well equipped and plenty of room for a large group of people. The grandchildren loved the garden and play area and the hot tub was a huge hit for all of us. The BBQ isn't built in as it suggests but we did have a BBQ on a good weather day with the small stand alone BBQ provided. It was a lovely base for lots of laughs and the niggles were soon forgotten and we had a lovely family holiday. Niggles This was a group family holiday for a 60th birthday celebration. We had a disappointing start as the narrow track to the house has a huge lip on it at the top of the lane which scraped the bottom of the car. You ideally need a 4 X 4 or a higher car than ours is. There was no little welcome pack not even a bottle of milk which after a long drive we were gasping for a cuppa. We had only been given one towel each when we needed a bath and hand towel each. Tracy brought more to us once we asked. The dishwasher was out of action and due to be repaired on the Monday but actually didn't get sorted until the Thursday. Unforseen circumstance so not the owners fault The hob had 6 rings but only two working but once reported Tracy was very quick to respond and sort it as best as she could. And brought cakes as an apology so the niggles were acted upon thank you for that. The listing said hot tub AND swim spa...but there was only a hot tub. You couldn't swim in the hot tub Suggestions Have a recycling box at the property to make it easier to carry it to the collection point at the top of the hill. Ensure a welcome pack is provided with a few teabags, coffee sachets, milk and sugar at the very least. A welcome book would be useful with instructions for the house amenities. Suggestions on where to go for milk and bread if needed. We found the coffee shop that was also a hairdressers and post office but only by asking a local otherwise it is a long trek to Holyhead. Summary Having said all this we had a wonderful holiday, a chance to be together and catch up , and we would still recommend this regardless. Tracy was very helpful in resolving our concerns.Lots to see and do. The boat trips from Beaumaris were enjoyable. Puffin island and the bridges was good though not always puffin season! Beaumaris castle and town, Anglesey sea zoo was well worth it , Church Bay had a lovely little beach very close by, and we enjoyed the coastal walks. A partial refund as a gesture of goodwill would be nice for the niggles reported
Everything provided for large family group. Location lovely and quiet with great views
The property was very spacious and had a lovely view. The outdoor space was great and the play area was a good addition for our daughter. The kitchen was well equipped however, could benefit from a few smaller pans. The beach at Church Bay was a short drive away and well worth a visit on a sunny day. Overall a great base for exploring the surrounding areas.
A wonderful house in beautiful surroundings. .... a very short drive from a lovely beach.
Sharon
Perfect for our family celebration. Tracy greeted us on arrival and made us feel very welcome. The house was very clean and comfortable with a warm atmosphere The see view was stunning, would definitely book again
Excellent fully equipped holiday home, set in a tranquil location with stunning views of the sea. House beautifully presented throughout and the hot tub was enjoyed by all. The beaches nearby were very good. One of the best holiday homes I have stayed in, our families had a wonderful holiday. Would highly recommend.
Our stay at Hen Gilfach was superb we had everything we needed and every room was clean and wellfurnished. As we had amazing sunny weather, we made good use of the outside sitting and garden area. The hot tub was enjoyed by all age range 10 to 75! Thank you
Denise
Lovely holiday home, fantastic view from the amazing large hot tub. Anglesey beaches were beautiful and surprisingly very little traffic for end of July. The house suited the whole family from ages 4 up to 70 years. We had a delivery of food from Asda when we arrived and topped up from supermarket later in week at Almwich 6 miles away as no local shops. Would definitely return.
We had a good week here. Nice property, well fitted out. Quite a good location with fabulous views, short drive from several beaches. The garden is great for kids if you're lucky with the weather as we were. The large hot tub was very good. We had a small problem during our stay that was not entirely the owners fault quickly resolved when reported.
Anne-marie
The cottage was beautiful if a little remote. Only concern was that our car standard Ford Focus kept bottoming out every time we came into or out of the lane by the bins. There is quite a drop off the road onto the lane. The hot tub was amazing!!
We had such a fabulous Easter here. The property is situated in the most stunning and unspoilt area with knock out views. The house was very well equipped and cosy. The owner is also close by to help with anything. The upstairs lounge made a great place for the kids to takeover away from the adults The hottub is huge and acted like a swimming pool for the little ones. We would love to come back here ASAP.
A really lovely home in a beautiful location. We had a fantastic stay. The teens loved the hot tub, and we all enjoyed beautiful coastal walks direct from the front door.
Rhianedd
Fantastic property Fantastic location. Really enjoyed the place just perfect for the whole family from 7 months to 84. The only issue we had was getting the dishwasher to work. Sometimes it would sometimes it wouldn't
Carolyn
We have just enjoyed a fabulous weekend at Hen Gilfach. Everyone left feeling very chilled and relaxed which was certainly helped by the comfort offered by the house. Amenities were excellent we wanted for nothing. The hot tub was a delight. Combine all this with the amazing views and superb company we couldn't have asked for more. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful responding quickly to our one query........ All in all a perfect weekend shared by a group of female friends celebrating all the things we have been unable to celebrate these last couple of years. There will certainly be return visits!!
Gillian
We had a great time, property and location stunning. The hot tub was a big hit with the kids.
What a super cottage! Wed stayed at Hen Gilfach 10 years ago and loved it so much we decided to return. The addition of the ensuite to the downstairs King size bedroom and the 10 seater hot tub were massive plus points! We go away every year as a group of friends and this was the best hot tub weve had in over 10 years. Cottage was exceptionally clean, everything that we needed theres even a blender and 3 tier steamer in the kitchen! All beds were comfy. Cottage even has a selection of board games, books and DVDs. The only very minor thing is that theres only an under the counter fridge and a table top one not really enough room if its all adults staying and theres Prosecco & lager to chill . But this is very very minor and didnt detract from a great weekend away. Thanks for such a great place!
Tracys place was amazing clean and so quirky car needed to go to pubs shops etc but not an issue. Everything you need in the kitchen the hot tub was fab so special a specially when lit up at night . Tracy responded quickly to any questions we had
Darren
Wonderful property in a tranquil location. Family of eight stayed at this cottage from toddlers to grandparents and had a great holiday. Facilities and the layout are perfect for two family's with ground floor having a shower room servicing the two ground floor bedrooms of which one also has an ensuite. The first floor has an extremely large family bathroom which services the remaining three first floor bedrooms. Also this property has a brilliant outdoor space for the children to play with slide, swing and hob tub to keep them occupied. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Graeme
The house was great,gardens are good and the hot tub has great views. It is in a rather remote location,1520 minutes from a main road.The directions from the owner are spot on and you need to follow them to the letter,a lot of the roads are single track so you need to look out for vehicles coming towards you. Overall a great stay..
A wonderful experience. Thoroughly enjoyed by all the family. Everyone catered for between the age range of 60 to 4. Would come again.
Had such a good time with the family. Perfect location and the park was a nice touch outside that the kids love.
Sophie
Had a lovely time everything was spot on so relaxing
Rachel
We really enjoyed the property as it was spacious. The hot tub was fantastic. The views from the property were also amazing. Ideal for a large group of people to stay. Thank you
Deborah
Lovely holiday home with amazing views. Very well equipped. Fabulous hot tub.
Fabulous hidden away holiday house. Great outdoor space for the children and a lovely hot tub. The children also loved the dolls house. Very good facilities and decorated to a high standard.
I love the fact that they were able to accommodate us in the very last minute. The place is beautiful with amazing views and there were lots of board games and a massive collection of DVDs. I personally really appreciated the coffee, because we forgot to bring our own! And also the bottle of wine! Loved it!
Jonathan
Weather was not good so hot tub was great. Especially for the kids
Eurgain
We had a lovely time at the cottage and there were so much things to entertain the kids the outside play area, the doll's house and the hot tub of course. We were disappointed that the previous guest had damaged the hot tub, but we could still sit in it as it was still warm and relaxing. We were given compensation for this. The location was lovely and the views were amazing. We thought that the cottage however had not been cleaned to the best of standard given that cleanliness is so important now with threat of covid 19. There were drinks leftover in the fridge, and the bbq had not been cleaned. Having said this, we would return and we had a lovely holiday.
Great place and lovely location. The facilities were of a high quality, would be nice to have an intergreated fridge freezer and an dryer. But that just a personal view as property was very well equipped and owner Tracey was lovely and on hand if needed
A little slice of heaven! The house was absolutely beautiful, the views simply stunning, the hot tub huge! Everything we could possibly have needed was supplied, including wine and chocolates on arrival! We will definitely be returning!
The cottage was amazing, the view and hot tub were perfect and inside the cottage was so spacious and even better than the pictures. The cottage was really well equipped much more so than any others I have stayed at and the host was really friendly and welcoming. Would really recommend this to anyone, well definitely be back Im sure!
Everything was just as portrayed online with the added bonus of toys and dollhouses for the children. Nothing had been overlooked and every eventuality had been catered for. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole house was beautifully decorated and maintained. The hot tub was amazing and checked daily by the owner to ensure it was working properly and was santised correctly. Nothing was too much trouble for the attentive owners. We received a lovely welcome pack of wine and chocolates, a card and fresh flowers from the garden. We were a group of 10 6 adults and 4 small children it was our first holiday since before lockdown and was definitely just what the Dr ordered! We are already talking about a return trip to this beautiful holiday home!! Thoroughly recommend!!
Sophie
Could not recommend this place enough! 10 adults comfortably stayed here and we had 5 cars which fit perfect! The hot tub is amazing with the most beautiful views! Very clean and welcoming, towels for shower and hot tub available! Only down side was the road access! we did have 5 lowered cars but didnt ruin our holiday at all because it was just stunning!! Thank you for making our three day stay great!
The cottage was fantastic, clean and well equipped. hot tub was amazing would definitely recommend
Michelle
Had a fab time in the beautiful cottage. Hot tub was amazing. Only recommendation would be that the check.inn time be changed to 2 pm and check out time changed to 12pm as 4pm check in is to late and 10am check out on a sunday way to early
We loved the location and the fantastic open views from the hot tub. Plenty of space outside for the kids to run about. Also, the accommodation was spacious and well laid out. Very comfortable.
Danielle
We have just returned from the most amazing family holiday at Hen Gilfach! The place completely exceeded all expectations. Amenities were amazing, the place was spotless and the hot tub was just the icing on the cake. The children loved all of the toys, books and DVDs! And Church Bay is just glorious! Views to die for. We ate already looking at booking again! I can not recommend this place enough! It was just out of this world!
The cottage was decorated to a very high standard, fixtures and fittings were beautiful. They had everything you required and my guests thoroughly enjoyed staying there. A few downsides. The smell outside was constant for the whole of our stay don't know if it was the septic tank. The bottom step flagstone into the cottage needs fixingconcreting into place, as my elderly aunt nearly had a fall, as it wobbled. The quilts although beautiful were too warm and could possibly be changed for lighter ones in summer months.
