The cottage was lovely and spacious and really private. Very relaxing weekend, great location with sea view, we were fortunate enough to enjoy a fabulous walk along the beach in the sunshine. Overall wonderful experience and good value for money too.

Hidden gem. Beautiful place with stunning views. Highly recommend.

Another lovely week at Hen feudy, This cottage and area is so nice and spending Christmas here was even more so enjoyable. A super time was had by all in a perfect cottage .

We’ve just arrived home from an amazing week at Hen-Feudy. We didn’t want to leave! Such a beautiful cottage with gorgeous gardens. The views are stunning and the property sits in such a lovely setting. Rural, peaceful and quiet but not too remote, everything you may need is close by. Stunning beaches are only a short car ride away too (Harlech is a favourite of ours). There is a shop and excellent butchers down in the village, there is also a kebab van in the village that seems to be open most nights and has good reviews, although we didn’t try it this time. Visiting in November we experienced all weathers, from glorious sunshine to torrential rain, snow blizzards and storms! This was actually a plus for us as it’s the reason we visit at this time of year. Despite it being bitterly cold outside the cottage stayed so warm and cosy. Coming home to the warmth and firing up the log burner after a day hiking in the snow was fabulous! The gardens were beautiful and our dogs loved playing in the large garden to the front of the property. It might be worth mentioning that this may not be 100% secure for all dogs as part of the fencing and gates are only around 3ft, but this was fine for ours and they had a great time! We honestly can’t fault our stay and we are already planning our next visit!
Phil Fabian
A lovely cottage, beautifully finished with a massive enclosed garden with fantastic views. Had everything we needed for a great week away in Wales.

Hi, we had a fantastic week in our happy place, thank you, the arrival goodies were very much appreciated, be back next year
Angela Hawke
A wonderful, peaceful place with exceptional views across the sea to the Llyn Peninsula. We love the terrace– the best place to watch the sunsets — and the summerhouse, which was a good place to watch the rainstorms! The garden is gorgeous, but we weren’t 100% confident that it was ‘dog secure’ as well as dog-friendly. The lower garden is fine (we could check all the fences and part of it is walled). But we struggled to fasten the low and rather rickety gate ( which we mentioned last year and other people have mentioned) and couldn’t tell whether the boundaries in the upper gardens (there are two!) were securely fenced or not and there are cattle in the field above them. We have an ‘escape beagle’, so limited her to the bottom garden. Just a couple of tiny things: there is still no large frying pan or sieve. But we still love Hen Feudy!
Kate
We very much enjoyed our stay. Itās in a great location and close to local amenities.
The gardens were beautiful, if a bit overgrown in places. We also found that the home itself wasnāt very well stocked (bin liners/glasses/mugs) but made do. The blind in the bathroom was also full of mould.
The road up to the house is incredibly steep. This was fine for us but worth mentioning depending on what your car is like/any mobility issues.
The EV charger was great and worked well once we figured out that we needed to download the app.
All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay but a few changes would have made it all the better.
Andrew Morgan
This was our second stay at this beautiful cottage and it didn’t disappoint at all. It’s very comfortable with a lovely garden. The views are far reaching and we saw some amazing sunsets. There was a nice welcome basket too, with delicious eggs, thank you for that. Every time we stay in Dyffryn Ardudwy, we find it harder to leave! We will definitely return.
Richard Claridge
Enjoyed our visit to Hen-Feudy last week. Cottage is wonderful, grounds are superb and Ann the owner was very understanding and helpful, a lovely lady. We had our 2 dachshunds who thoroughly enjoyed chasing the rabbits , if we allowed them to!! All amenities were to a high standard , we didn’t want for anything.
Fabulous!!
Sue
A really lovely holiday cottage, very clean, really spacious but also snug and nicely presented. Great location for exploring either towards Harlech or Barmouth. Dyffryn is a super sandy beach when the tide is out. The garden is also lovely. Thank you for the welcome goodies – much appreciated. Would book again without hesistation.
Ann
We have just spent a restful few days here in this wonderful cottage; everything about the place is top quality. At this time of year (November) it was a delight to spend our evenings in such a warm and cosy place.
Lynn Harrison
Fabulous cottage & beautiful views. Best of all was the lovely safe & secure huge garden which was perfect for two border collies to explore. There is a very steep drive to the property though & think this should be mentioned in the description, it is mentioned after booking but it could make a difference as to whether people booked in the first instance. Saying that we would definitely return, especially as only a few minutes from one of our favourite beaches worth it for that amazing garden
Nicola morris
A beautifully presented property
Lovely welcome
Lovely location
Paul Drane
Wonderful stay in a lovely cottage with the most incredible views and fully secure, huge garden. All of us (including the dogs!) had a great time. We will definitely be back.
Virginia Pilkington
Absolutely lovely week again here, it is always so nice and enjoyable.Walking in the hills, along the beaches or just enjoying the garden itās perfect. Weather was great as well. Planning our next visit!
Peter Jones
Just come back from a lovey stay here.
There is everything you need for a perfect stay and would definitely come back.
Angela Hawke
Well, put it this way: we booked another two weeks in Hen Feudy next year while we were still there. The gardens are wonderful (plural — there are three garden areas — one large one in front of the house, and two smaller ones up above the house at the back, plus the lovely patio). Each one has a gorgeous view across the dunes to the Llyn Peninsula. The photos don’t really capture the character of the gardens. That view continues in the house with its big french doors, and the house itself is lovely. What isn’t mentioned in the description is the ‘green wall’ of planting at the back of the house which fills the back windows with different shades of green. We were lucky with the weather, spending days on the spectacular beach and coming back to Hen Feudy each evening for sundowners on the patio and stunning sunsets. We might bring a larger frying pan next year, but that’s just nitpicking! Top tips: best coffee is at Caffi Llew Glas in Harlech. Best butcher: the brilliant London Stores just down the road.

A beautiful cottage with a amazing garden very peaceful I will hopefully return
If the dials could be changed on the cooker as it was difficult to work but I am a old lady !
So kind to have a welcome hamper thank you
I really didnāt want to leave. Thank you

Our second visit to Hen Feudy – had the most gorgeous weather and love the location of the cottage. The garden has become slightly overgrown in places and blocks the view from the patio area – which is a shame as it really is a glorious view.
Heather Thompson

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Hen-Feudy. A beautiful property in a delightful setting.
The beautiful weather enabled us to explore and walk some of the coast between Barmouth and Harlech, whilst also making use of the local bus and coastal train service.
On return from our days out the lovely patio area was the perfect spot to enjoy the late afternoon early evening sun and enjoy the extensive gardens and coastal views.
Jemma Finch

A lovely stay in the cottage which was warm and welcoming. It had everything we needed, comfortable bed, powerful shower and enclosed garden for our dog.
Great position to explore the local beaches and Snowdonia national park.
Sally Smith

We had a lovely time at Hen-Feudy. The place is spotless, even though it rained most of the week we were cozy and comfortable. It’s a very warm cottage with everything you need and no excessive clutter. The garden is huge – which was surprising as that’s not detailed on the description – perfect for our little dogs. We met Anne on New Years Day after calling for help with the boiler and she was amazing, we could have chatted with her for much longer.
It’s our first Dioni holiday and we will likely use Dioni for all Wales holidays moving forward. Fantastic experience throughout.
David Haworth

A wonderful, peaceful and relaxing Christmas stay at Hen-Feudy.
Superb cottage with stunning views and gardens which my Chihuahua believed he owned.
Even a natural mural from the bedroom and bathroom.
Everything was spotlessly clean.
Thanks Ann.
Highly recommended.

Excellent cottage. Perfect cottage for a winter break. Cosey and clean
Would benefit from more crockery – not a problem would just save money on dishwasher
No problem for the two of us but more hanging space would be useful.
Good welcome pack
Hosts accommodating with early check in.

Beautiful property with a wonderful garden which our dog loved. Lovely views and great location for Barmouth and Harlech, thank you for the welcome hamper.
Susan Carter
Lovely, as always, stunning views, great walks down to the beach, fully enclosed garden which the dog loves, thank you for the goodies too, we have already booked again for next year, can’t wait
Stuart and Elaine Davies
A comfortable and attractive cottage with a superb garden and aspect. We had a super holiday in this well furnished accomodation. The welcome pack was most appreciated.
Gemma Bailey
This is a lovely cottage in a stunning location. Great kitchen and living areas, and the most beautiful garden which our children loved exploring. As we were so lucky with the weather we were able to sit out every evening and make the most of the views out to sea. A lovely welcome basket of welsh produce from the owner, who was very helpful at sorting a minor maintenance issue quickly. Lots of lovely walks from the doorstop into the hills and Benar beach a few minutes drive away. It was a shame that there wasn’t a bit more info in the folder about local walks/activities, or a guest book with recommendations from other guests – it’s always nice to get some ideas from. Also, although fairly well equipped there wasn’t a lot of crockery/cutlery for a family of 4 so ended up having to do a lot of washing up. As others have mentioned, the bedrooms lack proper clothes storage, and also would have been helpful to have just a few more basics in – spare bin bag, salt/pepper grinder and j-cloth. We had a lovely stay nonetheless and really enjoyed exploring this part of Wales.
MP Mayes
Hen-Feudy is a beautiful cottage, beautifully decorated, beautifully clean and well equipped except it could do with a chest of drawers in the bedroom. The dog loved the extensive garden and we all felt very much at home. We will most certainly be back.
Rosemary Du Rose
Lovely cottage. In perfect location for Barmouth/Harlech and one of the most beautiful beaches on your doorstep
Janice Alldrick
A great find,super location, very clean and well presented. Had a great week, lots to do. Would recommend, and would stay again. Not used Dioni before, will certainly use again. Thank you.
Debby Mobbs
We had a wonderful stay at Hen-Feudy with our 2 dogs. A thoughtful welcome pack had been left for us in this lovely cottage. The garden is superb and very dog friendly. The location of this cottage is perfect, both in the village which has a Spar shop with a great butchers inside, and for the coastline. The local beach seems never-ending, Harlech, Barmouth and Porthmadog are all within easy reach, we will return, loved it.
Sue Huxley
Beautiful property, very clean and homely. Amazing welcome hamper. Great location for beaches etc. would definitely recommend and look forward to returning as soon as possible.
Sue and Stu
Had another great week at Hen Feudy, lovely views, safe garden for the dog, just booked again, can’t wait to be back in our happy place
John Curtis
This was our 3rd stay and it is a dream property and location.We shall return
Katie
We have just returned home from a lovely weekend away to celebrate my birthday. This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cottage & we can not fault it at all. Kept in excellent condition, warm, clean & well presented. In a good location for a bit of everything, beach, mountains & tourist attractions. Will definitely return again.
Kelly
We have just returned having spent 5 nights at Hen Feudy. The place felt like home from home and was very clean. The welcome hamper and treats for the dog were a lovely touch from Anne. There is a very large garden which is completely enclosed and safe for the dog, who had a lovely time playing outside. Luckily we had great weather and the views from the house were amazing, especially at sunset. The house is in a great location just a short distance from both Harlech and Barmouth. All in all a very relaxing holiday and will definitely return. Thank you.
Julie Walker
A wonderful private getaway. Fantastic views of the sunset. The bed was very comfortable. Large garden, the only downside was easy to jump for those inclined to do so; one of ours had to stay on the lead.
Michelle
A beautiful presented cottage in our favourite location.
Chris Foster
We have just spent 4 nights at Hen-Feudy with our 2 dogs. The cottage was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and had everything we required. Ann had left a note and welcome basket which was really appreciated after our journey. The cottage is in a lovely quiet spot between Barmouth and Harlech in an elevated position with wonderful views if the weather is clear. The mature large gardens where well kept and secure and our 2 spaniels had the time of their lives exploring the different areas. Hopefully we will return in the future.
Nicola
Weāve just returned from a 4 night stay at Hen Feudy (two young children in tow) and weāll definitely be going back!
It was the perfect base to explore the local area. Even though the weather was (mostly) terrible we still managed to explore and enjoy Barmouth, Benar and Harlech beaches as they were all within an easy driving distance of the cottage.
We couldnāt have asked for a better host! When we arrived there was a note from Anne and a beautifully put together welcome basket with some lovely local produce for us to enjoy. The cottage itself was clean and cosy and the views (when they werenāt hidden by cloud!) were stunning!
Thank you Anne. What a brilliant find on the Dioni website!
Christine Thompson
Really enjoyed our second visit to Hen-Feudy. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Hen-feudy’s position in the village is perfect; excellent views over the coast line but a short walk for the morning paper, shops etc. The butcher is well worth paying a visit to.
As Covid has meant no extra paperwork is left in the cottage, would it be possible to compile a list of walks local to each holiday home and email to each person booking. We have been coming to this area, almost yearly, for the past 20 years so are aware of the hidden gems but still we always found new places to visit by looking through the books of walks/places of interest found in the places we stayed at.
The owner of Hen-Feudy, Anne, is always on hand if any queries arise and indeed she did call in immediately we contacted her with a query. The hamper left for our arrival was very welcome after a long journey.
We would definately like to stay here again. Thank you.
Christine STRUDWICK
We have just returned from a wonderful week at Hen-Feudy, situated up a steep driveway in Dyffryn Ardudwy, this is a converted cow shed with an amazing view over to the sand dunes at Bennar Beach, one of the best beaches in Cardigan Bay.
The owners have carried out a very well thought out conversion here; there are two bedrooms and a good size bathroom with a shower over the bath that actually works. A heated towel rail would be good but you can put the heating on and move the wooden rack if you need to.
The beds are comfortable and quality linen is provided. there isn’t much hanging or storage space in the bedrooms so be prepared for that. The large kitchen has plenty of space, a sensible table and chairs for four, good lighting if you need to work and a sofa where you can sit and enjoy the view through the large double doors. The Port Merrion china is a a nice touch and everything in the kitchen was spotless. If there had been four of us there more glasses, crockery and cutlery would have been useful.
The sitting room is very comfortable with two big sofas and large double doors to enjoy the view, there is a log burner too (which we didn’t need to use).
And the entrance hall is the most useful boot room and wet dog area!
You are surrounded by a well kept, mature garden and a huge lawn which rolls downhill; the low fence which enclosed it was fine for our dogs but if yours are jumpers or escape artists you might need to keep them under control as the main road is close and surprisingly busy during the day.
At the end of a wonderful day walking or being on the beach you can sit outside on the patio, watch the sunset and, a little later in the evening, enjoy the dark sky, stars and wonderful peace.
Anne’s welcome basket was generously and thoughtfully provisioned. Do try to use the local shops and post office before you rush off to Tesco at Porthmadog. The butcher at London House Stores in Dyffryn is excellent and the Co-op in Barmouth is one of their better sites and has local fresh produce too.
The number of places to eat out has improved greatly in this area and you can easily find five or six options within about a five mile area, the staff are all very friendly and helpful and we found the food to be very acceptable.
Thank you – we will definitely come back to Hen-Feudy
Michael Hosfield
Another wonderful week at Hen Feudy. This was our third visit and we will be back again. Hen Feudy is a beautiful cottage and there is so much to do in this area of Wales. Many thanks to the owners of Hen Feudy and to the Dioni team.
Claire Losada
Absolutely amazing week at this lovely cottage. Proper home from home. Everything you need and more. Lovely welcome hamper and letter from Anne which was a great touch. Canāt recommend enough and will definitely love to return. Thank you
Fil
Wow what a stay, amazing weather, perfect beaches, beach near accom huge and not busy at all.
Accommodation spotless, however bedrooms do need wardrobes, our fourth time here so not a problem for us.
Garden is private and huge , good for pooches .
Tesco 20mins away to stock up on supplies also local Post office and Spa with a first class butchers in walking distance.
Have been booking with Dioni for number of years now never a problem, thanks.
Andrew Morgan
Very enjoyable stay at Hen- Feudy. The accommodation was first class. Peaceful location with outstanding views. We enjoyed sitting in the lovely west facing garden, watching the numerous birds and the sunsets. Ideally situated between Barmouth and Harlech.
James and Tracey Woodbine
Amazing sunsets and sunrises, beautifully presented. Would love to have stayed longer.
John Curtis
We have been before and again this was a great experience.The property and gardens are stunning.We remembered from last time that the view through the metal arch was amazing.It was like looking across the bay at Sorrento.You just need to get the gardener to cut back the border plant that is currently blocking that view through the arch.
We shall return as everything is so lovely.
John and Colleen.
Natalia
We stayed in the Hen-Feudy cottage for a week. What a fabulous week it was! There was more than enough space for our family of five and the dog, the cottage is beautiful, comfortable and cozy. We got everything we needed and more – wonderful fireplace, spacious garden with lots of places for the kids and the dog walk and play. It was very quiet in the evenings (exactly what one with 1 year old little one needed) and the view of sunsets form living room’s window was stunning. There are a lot beautiful walks around, it took us 10-15 mins to get to the nearest beaches. Thank you Anne for a hospitality, that was a perfect holiday!
Karen Edison
Lovely few days. Loved the cottage and its position. Sitting on the terrace, looking at the sea with a glass of wine watching the sun go down was ideallic. Everything catered for and a lovely welcome basket when we arrived. Thank you.

We had an amazing stay at the cottage for our weekend break. Great location. Lovely cottage, Anne did a brilliant job with the welcome hamper & cleanliness of the cottage. Taking the current situation of the virus into account, our holiday was not affected in any way, Anne was brilliant in what facilities we had & the surrounding areas that we visited for days out were working as normal. We were very lucky as local lock down occurred a few days after we had left. Will definitely stay at this cottage again. Highly recommended.!

September 8, 2019
A lovely, bright and spacious cottage with amazing views towards the sea, from where you could watch stunning sunsets, weather permitting. Large sloping garden which our dog would have loved to have been let loose in but heās a bit of a Houdini so we kept him tethered.
A really comfortable home from home, not much storage for clothing but seeing as there was only the 2 of us this was not an issue. Great WiFi, the code for which can be located beneath the router which is is housed in the utility area.
There did not appear to be anywhere in the village to eat out at night, the 2 cafes are only open during the day, and the pub was no longer serving food. Fab butchers in the Spar shop which also stocked everything we needed.
The nearest beach was a 25 minute walk, and cottage is within easy driving distance to Snowdon and Snowdonia National Park and also the zipwires.
A great holiday, thank you.
Ps also really appreciated the welcome hamper, in particular the welsh cider!
Sam
August 17, 2019
From the first time we saw the cottage and the stunning sea views we were smitten. Everything was laid out well, clean and calm. The only things that would have improved it all was more info about the place in the handbook, also letting us know about the Wi-Fi which we discovered on day 5! Plus new sofas please! We could not get at all comfortable on them which is a big part of a holiday, relaxing in the evening watching the sunset with those views!
Laura Bird
August 10, 2019
Wow! What an amazing place, we absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful cottage. It was important to us to have a private enclosed garden for the dog, this garden was more than perfect for our little dog. The French doors allowed the outside to become the inside, we had these open most of the time we were there. We were blessed with good weather. We loved exploring all the different areas of the garden. The kids found it magical.Thank you for the lovely welcome basket, we really appreciated it.
The area was stunning with loads of beautiful public footpaths to explore. Not far from the beach, 5mins drive (10-15mins run, 25min walk) and a lovely beach it was too, very quiet. So sad to leave, we would definitely come back.Thank you.
Michelle Ellams
August 3, 2019
A lovely cottage with beautiful views. So large and light and has a really nice feel to it. We love this area because of the beach but it has taken us 4 years so find such a gorgeous place to stay so close to our favourite beach. I love the welcome gift, Black Dragon is my favourite cider! A new bbq appeared whilst we were there so did not get to use it but would like to in the future. The garden is impressive, a couple of cats roam through so with having big dogs we had to be aware of these visitors.
The little touches such as foil in the oven tins etc was helpful and thoughtful.
It would really improve the experience if the bedding was not synthetic (quilt/pillows). Also the mattress protector makes body heat difficult to regulate so it would be nice to find a natural one. I always find it a huge help if oil and salt & peppers grinders are provided (save purchasing each time).
A wonderful find in a great location, and it seems Dioni always brings the promise of a super clean cottage (a must for me!).

We have just had a fabulous week at this beautiful cottage. Dogs loved the enclosed garden, this was the second visit to this cottage and it was as perfect as the last. Immaculately clean, well equipped we would give this cottage 10/10. Had lots of BBQs and spent several days on the beach all very close to the cottage. A Spar shop in walking distance will butcher. Had a welcome hamper waiting for us. Thank you for a perfect stay, will becoming again!.

This is a beautiful house located in an ideal spot for visiting the local area. We went on local walks both up into the hills and to the beach directly from the house, as well as tours by car around the area including Mount Snowdon, Beddgelert, Portmeirion and Machynlleth. The house is more like a home than a typical holiday cottage, with large rooms and good equipment. It was also great to be able to enjoy a BBQ in the sunshine with views out to sea!

Lovely property, with great views. Spacious and well equipped. Only criticism would be that some form of clothes storage is needed in the main bedroom, a wardrobe or chest of drawers, as there’s currently nowhere to put your clothes apart from a coat stand.
Great welcome hamper and the owner had some good recommendations for local places of interest.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at Hen Feudy. It’s a beautiful cottage, absolutely immaculate and the size of grounds were such a surprise, dog and children very happy! The views are also wonderful. We used it as a base to see our family and friends locally, and of course to visit the wonderful beaches. There’s lots to do. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. Wythnos hyfryd yn yr Hen Feudy! Diolch.

Spacious, well appointed, clean and warm cosy cottage with a beautiful, large and secure garden (great for the dog) plenty of parking and wonderful views. We were greeted by the owner who couldnāt have been more helpful and had left a very generous welcome hamper of local goodies. There are two small shops and a butchers that have most things you might need and the beach is only a 20min walk from the house. I am already recommending it to friends and family.

We found this cottage to be absolutely perfect for our needs. It is spacious, well kept and well equipped and the garden such fun to explore. The welcome pack of Welsh goodies was a lovely surprise which we enjoyed working our way through! We loved the views and watching the changing weather and sunsets was a daily activity! The drive up to the cottage is very steep but short but there is flat parking at the top. The village is well placed to access the areas around both Barmouth & Porthmadog and has a butchers that is a MUST for their award winning fare. We explored Nantcol waterfalls (highly recommend especially if you have children), Harlech castle, Crabbing at Barmouth, llanfair slate caverns (5 minutes up the road) and Talyllyn steam railway. The beach at Llandanwg is perfect as it has everything you need for a great day out; rockpools, acres of sand, toilets, cafe & parking. All in all a cottage we would highly recommend and one we would return to.

We had a perfect family holiday with two young children (2 & 4) at Hen Feudy. Unexpectedly roomy, relaxing, high specification accomodation, vast gardens and stunning views. Recommend without hesitation. Huge amount to do if weather indifferent, although endless sun whilst we were there! Mike and Emily, Birmingham.

We stayed June 15th to 29th with our Lab so the first couple of days were wet & cloudy but the rest were ‘redders’! The property particulars and all other reviews are spot on and worth a read so many thanks to the other reviewers for these. Many thanks to Hen-Feudy, the village (never knew a Spar could be such a fab shop) the local area and all of its amenities and everyone we met for the best staycation we’ve ever had. We’re very happy to recommend.

My husband and I have had a lovely holiday at this spacious cottage and our jack Russel Jasper loved the fact that he could come and go as he pleased through the open door into the fabulous big enclosed garden whenever he liked,the patio was a proper sun trap and as the weather was very hot was a perfect spot for a bit of sun bathing and eating outdoors,there was a welcome pack which was a lovely touch and fresh flowers out of the garden on the table.Everything you need for a home from home holiday is here in this lovely location.
Thank you for a smashing week in your fab cottage.

A beautiful spot with fantastic views over Cardigan Bay, good walks and beaches within easy reach. The cottage is lovely and clean with everything that you need for a comfortable stay, except storage space in both bedrooms is inadequate. No wardrobes in either bedroom, very limited drawer space in main bedroom and none at all in the second bedroom.
We do not think that the coatstand in the main bedroom is an adequate replacement for a wardrobe and there was no mirror in the second bedroom.
Despite that, we had a very enjoyable break.

We were so lucky with the weather as was excellent.The location of the accommodation was very good with super views.Not good if want a walk though with an elderly person as the slope is very steep.But if you want view then its pay off.
Sofas were too soft we thought as we sank into them and mum being old found it difficult to get up and mum thought double was too firm although was fine for me so swapped after first night.
All in all very good accommodation and location .

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Hen Feudy. Complete privacy, no sign that dogs had previously stayed and our dogs had a perfect time they loved the large enclosed garden. It was everything we hoped for and more thank you Louise for sorting it out for us. We were completely overwhelmed by the beach and the whole area was so clean. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Just returned from a glorious 2 weeks at Hen Feudy. This property is so gorgeous, and the views so beautiful. Ann and Ifan are such a lovely couple, and popped in to see if we had everything we wanted. The lovely touch when you first go in is a welcome pack with lots of Welsh goodies in as well as some fresh flowers. Everything you need is available at the property. Our two cavaliers Elsa and Rosie spent many enjoyable hours running round the garden! We don’t let them off their leads for walks so they particularly enjoy the large garden and the space to Run free. Have holidayed in this area for many years and this is by far the best property we have ever stayed in, and we will definitely be booking another visit!

We had a lovely holiday here at Hen Feudy, the house is in a lovely spot, nice and quiet, with an amazing garden with a view of the sand dunes and sea. It s lovely to just walk the lanes or over the coast path to the beach, massive views down to Barmouth or up to Harlech. Ann and Ifan are lovely and helpful, and we would definitely come again, as we love this area.

It was a wonderful visit. Hen-Fuedy was perfect, comfortable with very good facilities. A great location for a peaceful holiday but in easy reach of the beautiful coast line, very good walking and places of historic interest. Lovely to have a welcome gift of eggs and local goodies.
with best wishes,

Just the most cosiest break we’ve ever had on the Welsh coast! Beautifully equipped accommodation and very welcoming, everything we could wish for! The huge garden was very much appreciated by Alfie, our chocolate Labrador, as was the wonderful walks, streams and beach on the doorstep. We’d love to come back in the summer!

We have stayed in the cottage several times and have always really enjoyed it. The cottage is warm and comfortable,spacious and well equipped. Our little dog loves the garden and we are happy that she is safe to run around in it. The welcome and care by Ann is excellent. We love the ares having visited it from childhood and look forward to more happy times at Hen Feudy. The Pughs. Birmingham .

Once again we return to Dyffryn, and another wonderful Dioni cottage. Hen Feudy is the best cottage to date and we have sampled a few over the past couple of years with Dioni. The welcome pack is always appreciated, the properties are always clean, homely, and warm. We love the area, the Rhinogs are your best kept secret, the sea is great whatever the weather and we love the local butcher.The cottage is well hidden, I have spent a lot of my holiday time down here and didn’t know Hen Feudy, neither did A to B taxi’s who got us home from the 1957 fine dinning restaurant in Tal-y-bont, we have had three excellent meals at the 1957, the chief is top class. Will return to Hen Feudy very soon.

We have just returned from a most enjoyable weeks holiday at Hen-Feudy. It is perfectly placed for exploring all the way from Snowdon down to Cader Idris – with the added benefit of a fantastic beach 5 minutes away. Don’t though, over look the Rhinog’s at the back of you. These mountains may not be as well known but they provide wonderful walking with superb views.
On the day of our arrival Ann called to introduce herself. She gave instruction on using applicances (ie cooker) which was very useful, and gave advice on walks / activities in the area. The cottage was everything, and more, we could have wanted. The weather turned very cold but we were warm and cosy inside.
The view out to sea was spectacular – we could only imagine what it would be like to sit out on the patio, in the summer.
An added bonus was that our labrador was welcome to come with us – the large, enclosed garden was enjoyed by her.
We bought all our meat from the local butchers – well worth trying.
I would recommend this cottage to our family and friends – we will definately be booking again.

We had the most amazing time here in this lovely, warm barn conversion in November. Beautifully decorated with nothing that we needed extra. The welcome hamper was very well received too thank you. The beach was simply stunning and a great place for the dogs to let off steam. Also a fabulous place to explore from. Well worth a visit.

Lovely stay over Christmas at Hen-Feudy. Apon arrival at the cottage we were thrilled to find a lovely welcome hamper and the house decorated to make it feel really festive. The property itself is very well finished with all of the mod cons you would expect but with the advantage of feeling remote and away from it all. Even though we stayed over Christmas the weather was unseasonably warm and dry which made the gardens all the more enjoyable for our dog! It was great to be able to let him roam free, safe in the knowledge that the grounds are completely enclosed.
Thank you for a great stay, we will be back!

We had a fabulous second stay at Hen- feudy. Love this cottage so comeftable every thing you need. Had very mixed weather but got out everyday. Walked from the cottage down the beach to Shell island, across and off the island to the Vitoria pub. Had a great lunch in the lovely large beer garden with the dogs. Went to Nantcol falls which were very impressive after all the rain the day before. Big thanks to Ann for all the goodies, highly recommended cottage & location.

Had a fantastic holiday and the accommodation played a large part in that. After only a few hours the place felt like home and the girls loved playing in the spacious garden area.
This was our third time staying in Dyffryn Ardudwy which provides an excellent base to visit other areas and was made even more enjoyable thanks to the lovely weather.
Thanks to Ann and Ifan for their hospitality – we’ve already booked for next year!

There are many reasons why we chose Hen-Feudy for our holiday and we weren’t disappointed. It was very important for us to have maximum daylight -at Hen-Feudy it’s wall-to-wall sunshine all day long. Then for the days when it rains, to not feel quite so crabby about having to stay in. Inside and outside, the house has a really nice feel. Lots of space and each room feels good to be in. All the rooms have huge windows. One bedroom acts as a conservatory, and it was wonderful to watch the raindrops on the beautiful garden – very therapeutic. By the way – the garden is lovely, and huge !
Ann & Ifan the owners, are really nice and very helpful and have created Hen-Feudy for everyone to enjoy. Very highly recommended indeed !!

We have just returned from 5 nights at Hen-Fuedy, it has to be one of the best cottages we have stayed in. Lovely views from the kitchen and lounge windows and the dogs loved the secure garden which also has views out to sea. The cottage was lovely and warm and felt just like being at home,the kitchen is what we would have loved to have back home! Should we holiday again in North Wales we would definitely book Hen-Fuedy again.

I and my family recently returned from four days at this delightful property. I cannot really add anything new to what has been said before and agree with all the positive comments. The weather was kind to us and we enjoyed exploring the area. Everything at Hen-Feudy was delightful and we are already consulting our calendars to see if we can book another welcome stay.

February 2, 2016
Got back yesterday for after spending 3 nights in Hen-Feudy it wasn’t long enough…
The cottage is beautiful and as other comments say the pictures do not do it justice. It was spotless, had everything we needed, very comfortable, very quiet we couldn’t even hear the awful winds, great views from the lounge and kitchen and it was also very warm.
Enjoyed a nice meal in Barmouth at The Last Inn and also took a 5 minute walk from the cottage to the local hotel which had a very friendly bar with a nice fire roaring.
If i had to find a fault it would be that the kitchen knifes need sharpening but really that if the best I can come up with.
Thank you for a lovely stay and also the nice welcome pack and flowers. We hope to come again

We had a wonderful week here at the end of September. Hen Feudy is a delightful cottage full of home comforts, including a welcome pack of traditional Welsh goodies. The gardens are lovely and there are beautiful views out to sea. We were lucky that the weather was glorious the whole week with some spectacular sunsets.It is a perfect base for exploring the area, beautiful beaches, spectacular mountain scenery and lots of places of historical interest – something for everyone. We would highly recommend Hen Feudy to our family and friends.

High quality property with stunning views from the patio.This seems to be a theme with Dioni,quality and attention to detail.Welcome basket was a real treat.Short walking distance to shops and pub.Our favourite beach is 5 minutes away.Can’t wait to return.Wife had the pleasure of meeting Ann who was most charming and helpful and is mother of the Dioni video superstar(potentially the next Richard Burton)!!

Just returned from an excellent week staying in Hen-Feudy. The house has been beautifully converted from an old barn/cattle shed and is comfortable, spacious and light-filled. It sits on top of a small hill on the edge of the village with views across the garden to the sea. The sunsets are stunning. The village shops (there are two) provide most things you’re likely to need but, if not, there’s a large Co-op supermarket in Barmouth.
We did a lot of walking in glorious, unpopulated landscapes on both sides of the Mawddach Estuary – Cadair Idris and the Cregennan Lakes in particular are stunning. Keen gardeners should visit an open NGS garden in the village. It’s on the same side of the road as Spar, just beyond it going towards Barmouth. You’ll see plants for sale outside. There’s also one in Harlech, on the road above the upper car park – it has a lake and wild fowl and slow worms!
A week here really wasn’t long enough. Definitely somewhere to return to.

Just returned from our second stay at Hen-feudy, the cottage is fantastic !, very spacious and clean, great gardens and views.The cottage is dog friendly though some of the local pubs are not so(aloud in gardens but not in doors). Barmouth is easily reached either by car, train or on the beach if you fancy a decent walk and the surrounding mountains offer great days out.
Tony’s is great food and the Last inn in Barmouth is great for food or just a drink and is pet friendly. The cottage makes a perfect base.

Just returned from our first stay at this property…we absolutely loved it!! Gorgeous accommodation, immaculately presented and very clean. What a welcoming ‘home from home’ and I can imagine how cosy it would be on a winter break. The owner was lovely and gave us lots of ideas to see and so in the area.
The gardens are larger than we expected so that was an extra treat. Our dogs loved it too!
The view is to die for, we will certainly return next year. Thank you Dioni for yet another perfect property.

What a wonderful break we had at this cottage! This was the first trip to Wales with our little boy who is 1 1/2 and he loved it here, we had a lovely welcome from the owner ann and would like to thank her for the lovely welcome hamper. The location of this cottage is fantastic and we will definitely be returning here. If you have a little one the layout is brilliant as it’s all on one level and he loved exploring the garden and running down the hill! We were also lucky enough to have fantastic weather! It’s ideal for dogs as the garden is completely enclosed. We have been coming to the area for over 7 years now as you cannot fault the beeches and the scenery here. We love eating at the last inn in Barmouth which is dog and child friendly. Can’t wait to return! X

Mr Michael Hughes
January 23, 2015
Firstly, we made the most of a lovely time in Hen Feudy over New Year. However, I would like to point out a few ideas that the owner may like to take on board. There is much need for a wardrobe in the main bedroom as we had to put our clothes on the window sill therefore, they were damp in the morning. We felt the coat stand was not enough and the drawers were simply not deep enough. We also felt that there could be a supply of more utensils and wine glasses, together with champagne glasses, as we were four adults; this could save on using the dish washer also. Plus, we felt that the TV needed to be bigger in relation to the size of the room. Most frustratingly of all, was the description of ‘pubs’ in the vicinity. These actually are hotel/guest houses, and are not what my family would describe as a ‘pub’. They also did not allow dogs in. I would though like to say that the garden is wonderful and the views are lovely, and it all felt very spacious. The butchers in the Spar shop is very tasty and worth a try. Also, do try some of the walks around the area as these are great.

Have just returned from a lovely, cosy winter weekend in Hen-Feudy. It was spotlessly clean,lovely and warm. A beautifull decorated real christmas tree and a welcome pack greeted us as we entered the cottage.

This is a lovely cosy cottage located in an ideal spot for exploring both the beautiful Welsh coastline and the countryside.

We have just returned from a great week staying at Hen-Feudy, it’s a fantastic cottage, as described, big enough for 2 kids and a dog, a big enclosed garden with great views, the children and the dog enjoyed the local Benar beach, especially the sand-dunes. The owner was lovely, very welcoming and this is the 3rd time we have booked with Dioni and they have been excellent every time. will definitely come back to Hen-Feudy and Dioni.

Had an amazing week at this amazing cottage. Thanks to Ann for basket of goodies. We went for our anniversary blessed with great weather for this time of year. You don’t have to go out in the car, there are really good walks in the area. Walked to barmouth from the cottage down the beach, took about 4 hours & got the train back they don’t charge to take your dog on the train. Sasha our cocker spaniel had the best time and garden totally enclosed. Will defiantly be back.

When we arrived at Hen-Feudy, we were absolutely delighted by the amazing cottage.A great place to relax, because the garden is wonderfull with its many flowers, the romantic flower arch and the great view to the dunes.
Inside the cottage you can find all the things you need for great holidays. A perfect kitschen, a good bathroom and lovely living and sleeping rooms.All rooms are very clean and niche decorated. The cottage is very bright and surrounded by flowers. In the week of our stay at Hen-Feudy,we had beautiful sunny eather, so e could take our tea on the terrace and had BBQ several times.
The butcher of the village is excellent and located in a small “Spar”market.
Starting at the cottage we made a few walks through the village, the surrounding,to the ancient burial chambers, to the beach and also through the dunes. Great
One week was definitely too short and we will come back soon, because we loved this place

The location and accommodation are excellent. As we know the area very well we wanted a secure, comfortable base, for ourselves and Merry, our Border Terrier. He loved it, with a great garden to run around in and the beach just a short walk away. Take notice of the local tide times and you can walk almost alone on vast sandy expanses. Hen-Fuedy is well laid out and finished to a high standard. We were fortunate with the weather and able to enjoy the garden and patio, well into the autumn sunset. The local shops provided pretty much everything we needed, including the half lamb we purchased from the butcher. It was so good, we might just come back again.

What a wonderful cottage! Comfortable and very well appointed with lovely views. And the welcome basket was a thoughtful touch. We were blessed with glorious weather and spent every day on one of the many dog friendly beaches throwing balls for our two (now very tired!) cocker spaniels. We would highly recommend this cottage and look forward to returning very soon.

We had a great long weekend staying in Hen Feudy. The cottage was truly lovely, warm, well equipped, with great views down to the sea and a massive enclosed sloping garden which our 3 year old girl loved running around in each evening. It made a great base for cycling along the Mawddach trail as we cycled from Hen Feudy along the path into Barmouth and then along the trail to Dolgellau. We had been hoping to try the cafe literally at the bottom of the garden but it was shut on the Saturday. However we did have the best Indian we have ever had from the Indian in Harlech.
The only thing which would have made the weekend better was some sunshine as would have been great to witness a sunset from the garden. We would all love to come back soon.

Hen-Feudy is a lovely property with wonderful views of the coast. The garden was loved by all, especially the dog and the kids (great for hide and seek!). Everything was immaculate when we arrived to a warm welcome from Ann, who had waited for our arrival, even though we were a little late. The basket that awaited us, filled with Welsh goodies and Easter treats was very welcome. A nice evening stroll to the beach and the lovely Nantcol falls a short drive away made the break for us. We were even treated to some half decent weather fro April! We would definitely recommend to others. Many Thanks.

This was a lovely cottage and we had a fantastic relaxing week away. The cottage itself was spotlessly clean and well equipped with the most gorgeous views of the sea and sand dunes. We had gorgeous sunny weather and the sunsets were beautiful each night. The cottage was warm, cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed – including WIFI essential for our son!
There is plenty to do in the area including Harlech Castle, Portmerrion, lovely walks along the beach and of course snowdonia. We did climb Snowden which was fantastic but a word of advice if you are doing it then go early – we took the last space in the Pen – y – pass carpark at 8.40am! Although there is a sherpa bus service transporting people from Llanberis and other carparks to the start of the various routes up the mountain. For a fabulous meal out we recommend Bistro Berma in Barmouth – absolutely wonderful food and a welcome change from the deep fried fayre that seems to be staple of pubs everywhere. However you do need to book as they only have 14 covers. They also accommodated our son with half portions too.
This is a beautiful cottage, with a really friendly owner and we will definately recommend it and hope to come back soon.

Just back after a wonderful weekend stay at Hen-Feudy. The cottage was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished, a real home from home. The large enclosed garden was perfect for our akita Kane who had a great time running around outside. The beach, which was a 20 minute walk away was beautiful and very quiet. We had originally planned to climb snowdon during out stay but on the advice of Anne (owner of the property) we decided to skip the crowds and do all our walking locally and take in all the stunning views.
We had dinner at the local pub Ael-y-Bryn, which allowed us to bring the dog with us, and the food was good. The cottage does now have wifi which is not listed in the details.
Thank you Ann for the welcome basket it was a lovely touch.
Would highly recommend this cottage to anyone who is after a relaxing weekend surrounded by beautiful views.
Lucy, Hampshire
January 16, 2014
We had a wonderfully warm welcome and enjoyed the best of both worlds in the spotlessly clean and cosy Hen-Feudy. A short walk from the front of the place took us down to the dunes and beach, whilst a walk up behind the cottage opened out into a spectacular view of the mountains. It was the perfect place to enjoy Christmas and in easy reach of other towns and villages along the coast. Highly recommended.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in your beautiful cottage! It was spotlessly clean,lovely and warm and perfect for us and our dog. It is in such a lovely location with beach and hills all around.
Sadly the morning we left there was severe flooding to the area and it was heartbreaking to see the damage done. However it has not put us off and we are looking forward to returning later in the year perhaps.
A real home from home cottage!

The view stunning, the cottage delightful a real home from home, the garden was fully enclosed which suited the dallies perfectly. It is the cleanest cottage we have ever stayed in.
The welcome basket was a lovely touch.
I wish I could find a negative to put others off this cottage as I want to keep this little gem to myself. If this is the standard of the cottages on Dioni’s books we will be trying others.
Thank you Ann, we will be back

We have just returned from a couple of nights at Hen Feudy. The property was spotlessly clean on arrival, well furnished and just ideal for us.
The kitchen and bathroom especially were great, the children loved finding bunnies on their bed and playing in the garden, and my husband was delighted with his bottle of beer in the welcome pack!
We would have liked a sound system of some sort to play music maybe, by plugging in an iPod in or similar, but really it probably did us good to have a properly quiet time. Maybe the kitchen table is small in proportion to the good sized room but perfectly adequate for 4 guests.
We will be recommending you to friends and will be looking at Dioni again for another short break soon. Please pass our thanks to the owner.

Hi,
Very high quality cottage. Perfect finishing touches.
Because of a terrible chaos traffic jam (M25 closed) on the London orbital, we arrived very very late in the evening. So I’d like to say that the procedure on the arrival at Hen-Feudy is very appropriate.
A suggestion :
a wifi could help ; to set up hiking in snowdonia park, look for path, check wether.
Thanks

By wonderful Welsh weather with plenty of sunshine we stayed 2 weeks in this wonderful cottage. The owner, Ann and Ifan gave us with the basket a heartily welcome and helped us with advices and many information. The place is perfect for many activities in the area and exploring beautiful Wales or only to relax indoor or outdoor by a glass of wine and a good book. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Great cottage ! Loads of room inside and out, Everything you could want for your stay was there,
Fabulous views out to sea, 2 pubs in walking distance, shops, and cafes on doorstep, Great beaches 30 minutes walk away and if you want to park the car up its a 15 minute walk to the train which travels up and down the coast
Barmouth has something for everyone, great food at the “Last inn” (Barmouth) and “Victoria inn” Llanbedr.
Plenty of great walks nearby, Snowdon is a 40 minute drive but the climb up was Brilliant.
The weather let its self down the last few days overall it was a GREAT HOLIDAY.

A fab cottage with wonderful views and everything we needed for a great week in Wales. The dog loved lying in front of the wood burner after long days walking in the Cwm Nantcol and Cwm Bychan areas which are only 10 mins drive away and absolutely stunning. Beautiful, long stretches of deserted beaches very close by, and both Barmouth and Harlech only 15 minutes drive away in either direction. The welcome pack of Welsh beers, Brie and cakes was much appreciated on arrival. Owner very friendly with good advice on walks and places to eat and after that, left us to ourselves all week. Sunset over the bay lovely, viewed from the top of the garden with a hot chocolate on the windy evenings. Can’t recommend this cottage highly enough.

Really lovely cottage, finished to a high standard, very comfortable and warm with fantastic views. Good for kids – lots of little nooks to explore in the garden with a large patio for running around on. We had a great time enjoying the view, exploring the beaches and traveling on trains! The goody box was very nice, and very welcome after the drive over. Owners very helpful with advice and information. Many thanks.

Many Thanks for a great break. We all really enjoyed our stay in this wonderful cottage. It was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The welcome pack was really appreciated and a nice touch. The log fire was great and we enjoyed watching the sun set’s over the sea with a glass of wine or two. Our boys loved the garden and we were blessed with great weather. The only thing we would add would be some more local information in the cottage on local walks, access to beaches, recommended places to eat where to buy additional logs etc. We would definitely look to return as we enjoyed our stay and the area so much!

The barn was cute yet spacious – the logs for the fire, bara brith and fresh eggs were a welcoming treat. A most relaxing holiday in a lovely. modern, warm and exceptionally clean property. The garden was great for the dog who roamed around it in all day, it was large enough for her to explore and safe enough for us not to worry. I would recommend Hen Fuedy to those wishing to explore the mountains and coast (spectacular), dog owners and those wishing to come home to a real log burning fire after a strenous climb up Snowdon. Thankyou for making us feel at home.

Thankyou for a lovely holiday
The cottage was perfect in every way ~ it ticked all our boxes xx
Beautiful views and garden
The local beaches were breathtaking and walked every day.
Good shopping in Barmouth, Harlech & the Spar butcher in the village was excellent.
We found good restaurants in Barmouth ~ Bistro Bermo And Las Plas in Harlech
There is an italian in Tal Y Bont ~ food good but owner ~ a bit too intrusive and spoilt the evening!!
Thank Ann & Ifon for the goody box ~ a lovely thought made us feel welcome
Hopefully see you soon

Loved that it was pet friendly xx Just what we needed after a stressful year.

The cottage is lovely and was perfect for our holiday. It is comfy and warm, well equipped and modern.
It would have been really helpful to have a guide to the house and local area so perhaps that is something for the future! For instance, we could not stop the cooker from beeping!
The walks from the house to the beach are great and the beach is incredible, even in less than perfect weather.
For future users – the house does not have much mobile coverage and no wifi although there is a local internet cafe. We did not find a nice local pub but thought Harlech was worth a visit and we enjoyed dinner at Mawddach. The forest north of Dolgellau is also worth an explore, especially for mountain bikers.
Other note of caution – dont rely on sat nav to come in from the south as it tries to take you over a toll bridge across the estuary that closes at odd times!
Thanks,

Thanks for the super last minute help with the cottage. This was absolutely perfect for our last minute honeymoon. It was just what we needed after large family parties, somewhere private with beautiful views to relax in. We lucked out with great weather being able to see the mountains over the water during the stunning sunsets each night. The cottage was just as described, modern and everything to enjoy our stay. Including a waiting local ale, which didn’t last long after the long drive up.
Thanks again
