Reviews

The cottage is lovely with lovely views.

Mr F,

We had a wonderful time at The Haybarn, everything and more that we wanted and wished for. The beds are huge and very comfortable, as was the bedroom itself. The shower were waterfall style, easy to use and perfect temperature. Every bit of equipment that you could think of was available, high chair, stair gate, books, leaflets and guides, washing machine and dryer, full kitchen, (we cooked a lot and a variety of meals) plates, dishes, glasses, fire pit, bbq, lovely range cooker. The location is perfect, with even better views, easy to find. Could get a good 4 or 5 cars on the driveway. The garden is delightful, very large grass area, and patio as well has being highly secure for dogs and children.

mrs G,

The haybarn, what a beautiful house with the most spectacular view! We throughly enjoyed our stay there, the house had everything we could possibly want and more. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back again! Thankyou

Mr H,

The Haybarn is a really great place to stay - I can highly recommend it whether you like some peace and quiet in Snowdonia or as the perfect spot for an active holiday. The view from the terrace is really stunning, and although remote, amenities are only a short drive away. The house is well-equipped and comfortable, and the owners left loads of information about the area as well as walks nearby. I'd be happy to return!

Mr Van E,

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with the family. Plenty of space for six adults and two small children, adding in two more adults for a couple of nights. Appreciated child gates, high chair, and cot! Quick response to questions, grocery store quick drive, and restaurant recommendations spot on! Lovely stay. Would highly recommend.

Mrs C,

Excellent property! Easy access from A470, stunning views from garden. Very spacious, kitchen is well equipped.

Mr G,

A really lovely place to stay, well equipped, nice and clean and views to die for! The hosts are so helpful too.

Mrs N,

Lovely stay in a beautiful house and location. Well equipped and cosy. The hosts are very accommodating. Lots of activities in the area. We ate at the local pub one evening and the food was great, staff are extremely welcoming. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Mrs H,

Stunning location. Beautiful living space.

Mrs S,

Great family house in a great location. Very good communication from the host. Welcome pack was very good.

Mr H,

Great location with lots to do within a short drive. Great views from the house and it was well suited to our two families with a great layout. We'd happily go back.

Mr G,

We were a family group of 8 adults, with 2 dogs, and we had a lovely time at the Haybarn. It was a great location, central to many interesting places. The facilities were great. We had a fab time, and look forward to coming back.

Mr R,
