“Hen Blaid is simple clean and modern (smart tv and wifi) and was excellent accommodation for us (two adults and two dogs) for a week stay, during which the weather was awful.”
We still managed many walks - (as described some were straight from the door) and were able to take a few trips out (Bala, Barmouth) if you are prepared for non-urban roads (very narrow, passing places etc.) and add appropriately to your journey time there are some great trips close by. This (speed of travel or the weather) may also be the reason the area was wonderfully quiet.

We still managed many walks - (as described some were straight from the door) and were able to take a few trips out (Bala, Barmouth) if you are prepared for non-urban roads (very narrow, passing places etc.) and add appropriately to your journey time there are some great trips close by. This (speed of travel or the weather) may also be the reason the area was wonderfully quiet. We did a three mile walk every morning and a longer walk every day, mostly on the forestry trails, we never met a person (we bumped into our host and Bob the dog once - and they work there!) there were people down at the dam and the cafes and short walks there. How much of this was due to the weather who knows. We left a couple of old books and a local area map, which might be useful for other guests, also it might be an idea to have the oven and tv manuals in the info pack (not very complicated to work out but easier with manuals) also adding the nearest hospital, doctor and vet to the existing lists provided might be useful. We have neglected Wales over the last few years but now the children are grown this was a wonderful encounter with the heart of the country and lived up to expectation and we hope to return.
