Pen Y Gaer Reviews

Charley
We had such a lovely stay. Dilwyn was very accommodating and responsive when we needed assistance. The home is so great and was the perfect fit for the 6 of us, we are already looking at returning.
We had a lovely, peaceful retreat in Pen Y Gaer, just what we needed during a very stressful time of our lives. The views were wonderful and the peace and quiet was bliss. We enjoyed seeing wildlife, such as hares, black caps, buzzards, red kites and even a lizard. Thank you very much Diolch yn fawr iawn!
Nicola

We had a fabulous stay as a family of six of us our grandson loved the fact that it had the swing and slides and the little tractors and bike and all the other things that where there for him to use we loved the hot tub and the the rooms were spacious we had a excellent week here it was nice to go out for the day trips then come back to relax in the hot tub and it was so peaceful been in the countryside would highly recommend
Lovely location, so quiet. The property felt like a home from the start.
Andrea
We enjoyed our stay and the cottage was very clean and comfortable with stunning views. I went on a walk on the tops and took some stunning pictures too. We visited Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Abergele and Llandudno during our stay and went for a wander around tweed mill which is a large shopping centre with 2 cafes. All in all we had a relaxing stay even though the weather wasnt great
Sophie
What a fantastic place to stay, the cottage was clean, cosy and brilliantly equipped for our family of five. We stayed the week before Christmas and Dilwyn and his wife had decorated the place beautifully. It was in a lovely secluded location which was perfect for our noisy boys to run around and explore in! Cant thank you enough for having us!
Graham
The Farmhouse is nicely furnished with quality fitments. My only negative is the fact that property is very remote. The narrow farm roads to get to property are not for the faint hearted. Potential holidaymakers do not know this, from just reading property advert and looking at the photographs. However we tried to enjoy our week at Pen Y Gaer as best as possible, and enjoyed the hot tub, looking out to the Welsh countryside. Thankyou to owner Dilwyn for all his help during the week.
The cottage was great, with all the amineties you would like. If you plan to cook, would probably be a good idea to bring knives and a board. The beds a pretty comfortable. The owners were so lovely, really accommodating the cottage was comfortable. We were with a toddler so having to travel in lanes 15 minutes to get to a main road was a little tricky but they were amazing having a highchair, gate and travel cot. They even had some nice outdoors toys. The hot tub was a really nice addition to star gaze at night.
Perfect location. A challenge to get to, but that is the charm and host came to meet us on the first day. So quiet and perfect for our granddaughter. The sea views were amazing. Definitely follow the advice from the host about the directions. Sat navs seem addicted to tiny roads, but the hosts travel tips take you on a slightly longer, but definitely easier route. Lots of thoughtful ideas and tips.
Samuel
We had a wonderful stay at Pen Y Gaer. It was equipped with everything we needed and the view was great. The hot tub was perfect no faffing with controls etc as it was always warm relaxing in the evening watching the stars, bats and owls was a delight. We took the hosts' recommendation to visit the local pub for steak night we're glad we did!
Jonathan
We had an amazing week at Pen Y Gaer. Everything we could think of was available from cafeteria to washing up liquid. The cottage was in a very quiet area and we enjoyed the relaxation as well as the fact it was close enough for us to visit Anglesey as well as lots of costal towns. The hosts Manon and Dilwyn were extremely welcoming and helpful during our trip. We hope to return next year.
Michael
Fantastic place, will likely be back. Brilliant hosts
Two of us stayed at Pen Y Gaer for 3 nights and it was a wonderful relaxing short break. The cottage is a quiet retreat, private and secluded. Well equipped and wonderfully comfortable with the added bonus of the hot tub. The owners Dilwyn and Manon are lovely people who are so friendly and nice, who go out of their way to help and make you feel at home. We are definitely going to go back but stay longer next time. If youre looking for a great place to unwind and relax then this is the place for you. It one of the best holiday retreats we have been to and you will not be disappointed. I cant thank Dilwyn and Manon enough for such a fantastic stay.
Barbara
Had a great time would love to come back next year
Beautiful property with everything you need for a relaxing break.
Andreas
Absolutely lovely property with stunning views all around. If youre looking to get away from it all, then I would highly recommend staying here. The owner, Dilwyn, was a great host. Met us in the village to drive us to the property, as driving directly to it using a sat nav would take us down a difficult road. House was lovely and cosy, had everything we needed for our two day break. The owners left us some cakes and milk in the fridge, as well as other essentials such as tea bags and sugar. The wifi was very good, considering we were in such a rural location. Handy to have sky sports and netflix etc. Hot tub was great, lovely to relax in after a busy day exploring. The location is very rural, but supermarkets and restaurants available within a ten min drive. As Dilwyn the host suggested, always use the sat nav to get to Henllan village first, and then to the cottage so as to avoid the very narrow road. House was spotless, and would definitely return next time we have a few days off. Cant recommend highly enough. Thank you Dilwyn for everything, much appreciated. Andreas, Michelle and kids
Lovely cottage and facilities. Such beautiful surroundings and view. The perfect place for a secluded break.
Beautiful cottage. The owners went out of their way to help with an Asda delivery that couldn't find us We would definitely recommend Very clean and tidy and well equipped Beautiful views Booking was easy and stress free
Gorgeous location, owners are very welcoming and hospitable. House has everything you need and the hot tub is amazing. We had snow the week we stayed and Dilwyn owner could not do enough for us from bringing logs to helping us get our cars out the snow and ice. We would certainly book again.
Had a lovely weeks stay at this beautiful home. The house was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Our twins enjoyed the garden and the ride on toys. We really appreciated Dilwyn meeting us in the village as it's tricky to find, but once you know, you know! Unfortunately, the location meant our ASDA delivery did not make it but there are several supermarkets just a drive away. The quiet secluded location was a perfect get away from our busy lives and the hot tub was a blessing. We managed to spot plenty of wildlife during our stay too, even one morning spotted a fox bouncing on the hot tub lid!! Highly recommended, the photos do not do this place justice.
Claire
Stunning cottage, views you could only dream of and the owners are lovely. The home was clean and had everything you needed. Hot tub was lovely to relax in after a day out with the children.
We had a brilliant weeks stay here but sadly it just wasn't long enough. Every last attention to detail was taken care of. There were plenty of toys provided for our 2 and a half year old granddaughter and even a nappy bin which was very useful with a 4 month old baby. Stair gates and travel cots provided also meant we didn't have to worry about accidents or bringing these items from home. Having a washer & dryer meant we didn't have mountains of washing to do at home after our holiday. The house is very clean and homely and in a perfect secluded spot, yet the coast and plenty of other attractions were very easily accessible by car. The hot tub was absolutely amazing and used every day for relaxing and star gazing in the evenings. We had a fantastic time and were spoilt by the all round views of rolling countryside. What a beautiful retreat, needless to say we have already booked for next year.
Fantastic cottage we will definitely be booking again we all said was best ... Fantastic cottage we will definitely be booking again we all said was best holiday we have ever had didnt want to leave
Wow, what a beautiful place to escape to! The views are incredible and span almost the full 360 degrees. An extremely secluded spot too with little light pollution for star gazing from the hot tub. The owners have provided everything you could need to have a fantastic stay. We'll definitely be back!
Samantha
This was our third stay and I can honestly say that this is the best holiday cottage we have stayed at. The house is clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The owners are lovely. The house is in a fantastic location if you want a true countryside experience.
Sian Nerys
Super house. Great location. Loved the hot tub. Hope to return. Only 1 small suggestion ? consider blackout blinds on bedroom windows.
A group of five of us came to the cottage a few weeks ago. This is hands down the best cottage we have been to, and we have been to a fair few recently. We absolutely loved the fact there was no neighbours surrounding you at all. You didn't have to worry about the noise what so ever. The hosts were absolutely lovely in showing us to the cottage and were there on hand if we ever needed anything. The hot tub was insane, nice and hot when we arrived. We were left some biscuits and other essentials and this was a lovely touch. We will one million percent be coming back in the coming month or so and will struggle to go anywhere else now. We got a great deal booking last minute and it was genuinely worth every penny. We all cannot wait to come again!
Stephen
Great property in a fantastic location. The owner was very helpful. We had a great stay for a week with our grandchildren.
Stacey
Property was as described, fantastic views, clean and comfortable, everything worked and the owner was spot on. No complaints. Had an absolutely lovely weekend. Thanks
Annette
The cottage had everything you needed to make it an enjoyable stay. The pictures dont do the house or surroundings justice. The owners were helpful, friendly and very welcoming. We all loved the cottage and location. Well definitely be back.
Fantastic stay 1110 all round! Property was very clean, very well equipped and wonderful views. Highly recommend! Very happy, thank you for making my partners birthday
Jordan
Had a great stay, building and facilities are lovely and exactly what we needed and we're looking for. A would recommend staying here if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Hot tub is amazing too.
I couldnt give better praise, was the loveliest weekend away with friends at Pen y gaer. Dilwyn and his wife were so helpful in getting to the property and making us feel welcome in their home. The house is a hidden gem the road to get to the property is fairly difficult but my Fiat 500 still made it! Would definitely recommend. The hot tub was a particularly lovely addition even in the cold to stay out and look at the stars
The house was lovely with beautiful views and much thaught was put into ensuring that everything we could need was at hand. A comfortable warm place to stay. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus. The owners were very warm and welcoming.
Yvonne
If you want tranquility and piece and quiet then you will love it here. The village pub was very welcoming as well would definitely recommend a visit. The views are fantastic and the wildlife is in abundance, never got bored as plenty to see. The hot tub just finished off a great relaxing holiday.
Daniela
The cottage and location were fantastic. It was peaceful yet plenty of things to do in the evenings if we didn't venture out..BBQ, hot tub, land to play tennisfootball on. There's swings and a slide for the kids. WiFi was excellent so the kids were happy! The owners were lovely, meeting us in the nearby village to guide us to the cottage, advice on routes to take to avoid the real country roads!! Even our Tesco delivery made it without issue despite the remote location. Would highly recommend and hope to stay again.
The views from the hot tub were brilliant, also the owners are very welcoming and helpful. We will be booking again in the future.
Kirsty
The house and surrounding grounds were beautiful, very clean and comfortable. The veiws from the property were just phenomenal with veiws of the mountains and ocean from the hottub and inside the house. We found the owners to be brilliant and the service was spot on. The gas for the bbq ran out one night and they brought another gas bottle for us as soon as we asked, nothing was too much effort for them. 100 would recommend and return. Brilliant property and service.
William
My family have just got back from this lovely place. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay for however long you are staying for. The magnificent views of open fields and the sea can be seen from pretty much every room in the property the best views are from the kitchen dining room. The hob tub was lovely and the views from there in the evening watching the sunset were incredible. There's quite a lot to do in the nearby towns village. The property has so much space and a lovely enclosed garden area with a swing and slide which our daughter loved. The owners were very nice and helpful and nothing would of been too much trouble for them. I would definetly reccomend this cottage if your looking for a getaway in wales.
