Hen Argoed Cottage

When we arrived the beams and low ceilings brought a smile to our face. It was nice to drive up the track and see the farm animals around us and a working farm. The owners were very nice and let us get on with our holiday. The cottage is not for everyone but if you are looking for an old place with fire and character then this is the place. There is a pub in the village and Harlic is only just over a mile away which is slightly bigger. There are plenty of beaches nearby and a nice drive north takes you into lots of walking. We went in November and there were a lot of places closed which was a shame.

Everything was ready for our arrival with no problems gaining acess to the cottage. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and stocked with all equipment you needed including coal and firewood for the fire which was made up for our arrival. The bedding and towels were freashly laundered and clean. As I have been going to that area of North Wales for a long time I know about the stunning views and surrounding beauty spots. The local shops are easy to get to with larger supermarkets within half an hours drive.
The whole time of our stay was very relaxed and it was great to sit in front of the fire at night and feel cosy as our stay was in the autumn and the nights are cold.I can honestly say that there was nothing about our stay that we didn't enjoy.

beautiful character cottage. Stunning wood burning stove. Cosy with a glass of wine on a chilly night. Owners very very friendly and kind. Original wood beams, thick stone walls but with all modernities such as washing machine and dishwasher.

Our little boy loved the farm itself and various visitors like Jess the sheepdog, the cat and other little dog. Fabulous to see the cows and sheep from his bedroom window.

Great for families. The children will love being ner all he animals Great for couples wanting a romantic getaway too.

Knowing the area extremily well and just wanting a quiet winter half term break with our five and six year olds, we were far from disappointed with Hen argoed. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Loved the history of the cottage with its modern amenities. As we experienced fab weather for February, the view at the top of the lane in a morning, and out of the bathroom window(on tip toes) set you up for the day. Can't fault it and wouldn't hesitate in going again or recommending.

We loved the cottage, very clean and well equipped kitchen, rooms were generous compared with other cottages we have stayed in. Ideal for exploring this area of Wales, the cottage and area is ideal for walkers. You can have a day off from driving and jump on the train, 10 minute walk from the cottage, fantastic coastal views from the train.
Only down side is there are no views from the sitting room.

Wonderful spacious cottage in a perfect location and fully equipped with every appliance
Wish we could stay forever.
We were very lucky with the weather and had a great week.
Thank You

We had a magnificent week as the guests of a lovely family on their working farm. A great deal of thought and effort has gone into this property catering for everything you could possibly need for your stay. We cooked every evening and weren't short of anything in the modern kitchen which had every pot pan and implement you could need.
The cottage is extremely spacious compered to other "cottages" - it's more of a house! A large lounge to sit back and watch TV or sit up to the large dinning table.
The wifi was excellent and not the usual shared connection you usually get.
You can walk down to the local beach or 5 mins to Harlech beach. Down the coast is the amazing Shell Island beach but don't pay to go on the "island" - drive to Llandddwywe and park there. You walk up to the same beach.
Up the coast there are more beaches and walks - black sands is where you can park on the beach believe or not.
There are some lovely walks around the farm and into the village.
We have only just got a dog and this place was perfect - he walked all day and slept all night at the bottom of the steps with the fire guard strategically placed on the steps to let him know he couldn't come upstairs. He was so content with his water and bed on the stone floor and was close enough to know he was still loved and perfectly happy as we did worry about not using a cage anymore. There was a door we could shut so he didn't wander at night - it was absolutely perfect for him and us.
We have fallen in love with this area of Wales and will definitely return to this wonderful cottage

The cottage was just what we were looking for - old, character and a fire. It was nice to see the farm animals around us each day. The owners were really nice and relaxed and made us feel relaxed about being on their farm.

Fantastic property in a wonderful location. Excellent for families, especially the enclosed courtyard and separate garden and great to be on a working farm. Owners lovely and very helpful. Within easy reach of most popular places to visit and 2 minutes from the local beach and harbour. Plan to return with parents in the future.

Warm and comfortable accommodation; a pleasure to come back to in the evening.

A lovely cottage, well equipped and clean. Fantastic location, central to Barmouth and Harlech

The cottage was well equipped and had a lovely feel about it. The location and scenery were lovely and well situated to visit many different areas in North Wales or to stay close by the lovely beaches.

Everything about this cottage and the welcome from the owners was fantastic! The cottage, surroundings and services were the best.

Period character of the cottage and the log fire. The home owner was very helpful and had prepared the cottage well - even to setting up the log fire. The ceilings all had real wood beams. The views from the farm were stunning.

The best we have stayed in.

Great location and the cottage was full of character. The wood burner was lovely, it was nice and cosy in the living room on cold evenings. Lovely setting for a relaxing week away.

Absolutely fabulous cottage, very well equipped and owners very welcoming and accommodating. Great location and great access, overall brilliant! Would definitely recommend this holiday cottage.

We love the Barmouth / Harlech area and Hen Argoed provides a wonderful comfortable base to explore the area. We've been to Hen Argoed twice now and have already booked for next year, it's like our home from home

The cottage had a lovely, homely feel. We loved the fire.

The owners were lovely and so helpful. The cottage was really clean and beautifully decorated. It was a fabulous cottage and location.

Brilliant location for a family to stay for a holiday. Super views over Shell Island and Llandanwg. Near to the shops at Harlech in North Wales and other Tourist Attractions. The cottage provided every amenity. A great atmosphere in which to unwind and relax.

This property had everything we needed. The furniture and decor was in very good condition. Lovely views from the garden. Plenty to do in the area, ideal for walkers and those who love scenic train rides.

Adored the weather, the location, and I'm thinking of booking up for next year, it was that good a holiday.

This was perhaps the best appointed cottage we have stayed in. It was clean well-furnished and the kitchen was much better equipped than any others we have used.

Enjoyed the location, easy access to the beaches and mountains so was perfect for what we wanted. Also very comfortable and warm cottage with everything we needed.

The cottage was great and we felt really welcome there.

Such a lovely location and setting. The cottage was so cosy with a lovely wood burning fire. It was a privilege to be able to stay in such an old cottage. We had a wonderful time and would recommend it! The owners were very helpful and we enjoyed seeing all the animals on the farm.

The cottage was beautiful and couldn't have had a more picturesque position.

The cottage was clean, well furnished and had everything we needed for a family holiday - a home from home, but with a little luxury and plenty of character. The garden area at the back was lovely for our eldest son to play in. The location was superb - quiet and with lovely rural & sea views, but easy to find and handy for Barmouth, Harlech and for exploring the whole area. The owner was welcoming and friendly but unobtrusive (yet on site if there should be any query).

The cottage and view was amazing, it's such a comfortable cottage you feel at home instantly! Everything in the cottage was great and provided a lot of the necessities needed! Very close shops and towns for days out and the beach isn't far either! Couldn't have asked for a better cottage or holiday!

It was very comfy and cosy. Very quiet, nice and relaxing with everything that you needed. An ideal base for the area which had lots to see and do. Felt very relaxed after our break away, the children loved it.

The cottage and its surrounding area are beautiful. The owners were friendly and helpful. Six of us stayed in the cottage, including a 5yr old and a 2yr old. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Argoed Farm and would definitely stay there again when we next visit Wales.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.

"It was a perfect location; peaceful and quiet. The property had very comfortable accommodation and the owners were friendly and helpful."

Hen Argeod is a truly beautiful farm cottage, waking up each morning to the sound of baby lambs and cows was a fantastic experience especially for us town dwellers! A brilliantly stocked kitchen and a real home from home, a perfect location for discovering North Wales.

Lovely cottage, would love to go back again.

We loved the cottage, it was beautiful and so well kept. It had everything we needed and was so homely. It was in a stunning location. My eldest son loved being on a farm and seeing the cows and sheep practically in our back garden! We really didn't want to leave and will definitely recommend Hen Argoed.

The Cottage was warm, cosy and in a great location. It was near to beaches and an ideal base to explore a lovely area.

A fantastic location, great facilities and a beautiful cottage and farm. I'm sure we'll be back.

Excellent accomodation, great location and stunning views.

The Cottage is modernised and has everything you could possible need. The bedrooms are beautiful.

What a superb Cottage, in gorgeous surroundings, we could not find fault at all. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends and hopefully we will return in the future.

Hen Argoed Cottage is a wonderful place to stay. It was a lovely cottage. I would happily come here again and recommend this place to others.
