Our stay in this house was a truly wonderful experience. The host was very friendly and welcoming, which immediately created a comfortable atmosphere. The house itself is in perfect condition: very clean, spacious, with large rooms. We especially appreciated having three bathrooms, a sauna, as well as a big, cozy living room and a fully equipped kitchen. The location is very quiet and peaceful — perfect for rest and relaxation. I highly recommend this place and would gladly book it again for all the upcoming holiday weekends, but unfortunately, it is already fully booked 😊

Words cannot even express how totally and utterly amazing this beautiful cottage is.
Situated in an ideal quiet location yet only minutes from the mountains and the beach at the same time, with the added bonus of the morning visits of RAF planes training in the area and the inquisitive cows coming to say hello; I don’t think there is any chance of another cottage being able to top Hendre after this.
The owners are absolutely lovely to chat with too and only a phone call away if there is anything required, although they have already thought of everything possible to make it a fantastic stay!
I cannot recommend Hendre enough, we have already rebooked to stay again next year and have already started our countdown to return!

Such a lovely cottage in a great location! We had an amazing week in Criccieth. The kids loved it and really enjoyed having the cows for neighbours. The cottage was beautifully kitted out with plenty of bathrooms and huge living room and kitchen / dining spaces. The owners were so friendly and helpful as well.
The location was perfect with Criccieth only a short drive and Porthmadog within 10-15 minutes drive as well. One of the best cottages we have stayed in. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a cottage that is nice and rural but close enough to plenty of amenities!

My family and I had a really lovely holiday at Hendre. The farmhouse is ideal for family groups, with spacious rooms and beautiful bathrooms. All spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The location is gorgeous, so quiet and relaxing with only the neighbouring cows and swallows for company. The lawn to the side of the house gets the sun all day long.
Whilst the lane is narrow, there are adequate passing places and we went out every day, only once meeting a car coming the other way. It is only a few minutes from the road. Walking along the lane was lovely. The grandchildren loved seeing the cows and picking blackberries.
We visited the beaches at Criccieth (10 minutes away) and also Pwllheli, Harlech, Nefyn and Llanbedrog, all within 30 minutes.
It was nice to meet Anwen, who is so warm and friendly, and answered the few queries we had very quickly.
We would love to return one day!

Hendre is a well presented, comfortable cottage in a fantastic location. Great base for local area, mountains of Snowdonia or exploring the Llyn Peninsula. Half an hour one way you’re in the mountains, half an hour the other way, some great beaches around Abersoch. 15 mins from Porthmadog and similar to Cricceith. The cottage is located in the countryside and offers an away from it all location. Good size kitchen and lounge area, comfortable beds and two showers, two baths and a sauna. WiFi available but a little intermittent, small price to pay for the location. Would definitely recommend.

Had a beautiful stay in Wales. Home was clean and warm. Appears bigger in real life than on photos and very cozy living room with wood fire. We ran out of wood and host was kind enough to bring some for us. Host was kind and responsive and helpful.

Had a great holiday, cottage very comfortable and well equipped, owner called by a couple of times once to greet and once to empty bin, very nice lady, cottage isolated down a narrow lane, but I loved the seclusion, easy to reach any area so location for me was perfect, I will definitely be using Dioni again my daughter has used Dioni for years and has never had a problem.

We have spent a week at this fabulous cottage. The location is remote but within a 10 min drive of Porthmadog. Very clean and well maintained property with a stunning outlook across the fields. We loved the spacious rooms and sauna. Quality fixtures and furnishings. It was lovely to meet Annwen on arrival and we couldn’t have felt more at home. Thanks for an amazing holiday.
Constantine
We spent 4 nights in the cottage. Everything was clean and tidy. The property is located in a remote location yet very atmospheric and beautiful. We enjoyed a lot the spacious living room, the fireplace and the sauna.
I would definitely recommend it!
Thanks a lot!

We had a fantastic week here in September 2021. The property is massive and of extremely high spec – the bathrooms, kitchen and sauna are exceptionally well-designed and immaculately clean. The huge living room is country-cottage cosy, while the outdoor space is very well maintained and allows you to sit either in full sun or shade as you prefer — and look over the fence at the cows, who were very entertaining to watch when in the field nearby. There is also the lovely sound of the stream at the end of the field.
We did plenty of local footpath walks nearby, and swam at Criccieth and also drove up to beautiful bays on the north side of the Llyn Peninsula – some of the best British coastal swimming I’ve ever done.
The setting is very peaceful and secluded but it is an easy drive to Port Madoc, where we did our major shop for the week.

We had a fabulous weekend break at Hendre cottage.
Loved everything about it – the peacefullness and tranquility was just what we needed.
The cottage was spotless – spacious and had all that we needed. Met Anwen the owner who was lovely. I know that area very well as i spent lots of holidays round and about Criccieth – Porthmadog etc…
We will return – maybe in the winter and woukd highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful family holiday with our new baby grandson and his parents.
Hendre is a beautiful home with everything you need. Clean and comfy. The owner was very welcoming and helpful. Perfect position for all we wanted to do and we loved the isolation it was so peaceful. We will miss the cows as our neighbours.
We really had a good holiday but we were concerned that the hot water was only just adequate, the oven hob washing machine (couldn’t find out how to use the dryer) were satisfactory. We would love to come again next spring but are concerned that we couldn’t find any controls for the central heating. We are not complaining we really did have a great time . It’s a fantastic place to stay.
Thank you

We spent two weeks at Hendre farmhouse and we really enjoyed it. It is a peaceful and calm place surrounded by a lovely landscape, the house is spatious, comfortable, clean and very well equipped and it was nice to meet the owner, who welcomed us and was really helpful. Our holyday was relaxing and anyhow exciting, the seashore and Snowdonia are nearby.It is a great place for making trips to the mountains and other interesting sites and in the evening you can relax in a Nordic sauna.

Lovely house but we felt too cut off. We did not like the lane, felt very unsafe and were nearly hit by a van as we turned into it.
Alice
We have just returned from a wonderful week staying at Hendre. The house is very comfortable and spacious with a fantastic large garden. We enjoyed having only cows as our neighbours, it was very peaceful and relaxing. A great location for exploring the surrounding areas. It was nice to meet the owner who was very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be going back.
