Haulfryn

Haulfryn Brilliant accomodation with lots of character.

Clean, fully functional. Good secure gardens front and rear for our dog with no worries of it escaping. Outstanding communication with the owners. A welcome pack was awaiting our arrival. We were asked to water the garden plant pots, a pleasurable task in the evening when the daily very high temperatures had subsided. The plants were beautiful. It was great to see birds feeding and a squirrel also. I was particularly interested in the local mining activity, many of my ancestors being coal miners or delivers in Yorkshire. A great deal if information on the slate and lead industry in the Llangynog area can be found online. Thank you for a brilliant stay. I will return.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage.

Such beautiful gardens perfect for relaxing and enjoying a good book. The owners were so welcoming and helpful when we had an issue and we cannot thank them enough. We were very sad to leave and wished we could stay longer! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Beautiful comfy, clean, well equipt cottage.

Well cared for gardens with stunning views. Our 2nd stay and we hope to return again. Such a peacefull restful holiday. Host is extremely helpful and a hand written letter and gift left on arrival are such a lovely touch. A wonderful base to tour this stunning part of North Wales.

This is a beautiful cottage, that is clearly loved and cared for by its owners.

The garden is beautiful and the house is full of really interesting and wonderful things as well as being very well equipped and comfortable. It a cozy and relaxing place to spend a holiday and we would highly recommend it.

Another lovely stay at beautiful Haulfryn.

A lesson on how to do holiday cottages right. Warm comfortable and a stunning location.

This is a lovely house, in beautiful surrondings.

It has every thing you would need. Although overlooking a B road which is quite busy at times it is above the traffic so quiet, The drive comes out on a bend in the road so care has to be taken. The owners are very nice and there to answer any questions and give advice on places to visit. Although no shops in the village there is one close by at Peny Bont Fawr and there are plenty of shops in Welshpool or Bala We will definatly come here again

All round top class cottage and beautiful surroundings in the Berwyn Mountains.

The lovely cottage gardens are a bonus as are the interesting places to visit around the area.

The cottage is charming and cosy with great views.

For the key collection I was contacted by the owner 4 days before with the keysafe code by the door. The cottage is very well appointed with lots of information on things to do in the area and recommendations for places to eat. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. Kitchen is well equipped and the utility room has everything else you need. The gardens are lovely and the bird feeder in the front garden is a delight to watch the birds feeding. This was our second visit to the property due to the lovely appeal of it and the North Wales scenery.

This was our second visit to haulfryn this year and we loved every minute.

The cottage is beautiful and well equipped with everything you could need for a short or long stay. The gardens are particularly stunning and we spent hours enjoying the views and watching the birds. The cottage makes you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, yet lots of beautiful walks and sightseeing essential views are within an hours drive. The cottage is particularly great for anyone wishing to enjoy a break with their dog. My 3 year old Cockapoo loved the gardens and all the amazing walks A real find

The garden and views from the property really are stunning.

Thanks for an amazing stay, we hope to come back!

Lovely cottage surrounded by spectacular tiered gardens front and back.

Excellent parking. A place to unwind and relax. Highly recommend.

This was an outstanding cottage, clean and comfortable and set in delightful grounds.

It is somewhat remote but that's what we like. There is a pub serving meals all day within walking distance, but it's quite a steep walk back for us unfit oldies! The gardens are well maintained and pretty, also totally dog secure. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Just Wow

A super place to stay and an attentive host who left lovely goodies for our arrival.

Contact made during our stay as they wished to come in during our second week to carry out maintenance on an amazing garden. Also, very, very kindly posted on the clothing we had left. We really do want to revisit.

A lovely well equipped cottage in a beautiful location.

Would throughly recommend staying here. We had an issue with the TV signal, the owner came and sorted it quickly for us. We definitely had an enjoyable holiday.

A lovely well equipped cottage within a beautiful location.

Having stayed in a number of cottages over the last few years this is one of our favourites Our dog especially loved the garden and watching the birds

Just what we were looking for.

Lovely garden, what a bonus. Comfortable, warm and well equipped.

We absolutely love staying at Haulfryn!

The welcome gift is so helpful and puts a smile on your face and the cottage is warm and welcoming! The views across the opposite hills are breathtaking and watching the sun come around changing the colours is so special! Luckily the weather held and we visited beaches and small villages nearby, coming back to a comfy, cosy cottage were perfect! Everything you may need and more is provided to make your stay as perfect as possible. We will definitely be back! Thanks Chris and Liz

A really beautiful cottage, one of our favourite stays in Wales so far!

The views are absolutely wonderful, from both the front and back of the property. Well equipped house, fireplaces in both the living room & kitchen make it nice and cosy. The bedrooms are lovely and good sizes. The property being set off the road wasn't an issue as there aren't very many cars and with it being raised, the road is barely in view. There isn't a path by the road but as there aren't very many cars it wasn't a major issue for us. Would recommend visiting Pistyll Rhaeadr Waterfall and walking up to the top, if the weather allows. There are fresh eggs from an honest box 5 minutes walk from the house and some lovely, local walks. There is also a shop not too far away for the essentials. Our favourite part was the incredible view of the stars due to the area being very much a dark sky area.

Loved this place, views are amazing property was the best we've ever stayed in for facilities and good quality equipment.

Welcome package nice touch. The advice I would let others know is if you have a dog you are restricted to go for short exercise walks as no public paths down the front. But that shouldn't put you off. And as it can be farely busy road in the day it's a bit precarious. I had to guide partner out as there is a bush outfront that can obscure what's coming round a slight bend. But I would highly recommend staying there and I would do so again.

Extremely helpful owner Home from home cottage with everything we needed for a perfect holiday.

Garden and views amazing in an area within reach of so many places to visit. Don't miss this part of Wales,our third visit and we will return.

We had a lovely time at the cottage, everything we needed, lovely and clean and comfortable, beautiful surroundings.

Would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again

The cottage is beautiful and so are the gardens.

Everything is so well maintained and the cottage is well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We enjoyed sitting in the garden with a coffee and puzzle book or book...and enjoyed the fantastic scenery. We also enjoyed watching the birds and at night I could hear an owl. The walks around the cottage are amazing and we also enjoyed visiting the beaches at Barmouth and Tywyn. We had a lovely time and enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and well equipped cottage.

Lovely location and well kept gardens.

Very comfy and cosy cottage wonderful views and beautiful garden, quite a few cobwebs but other than that it was lovely

Wonderful cottage.

Wonderful facilities. Terrific area to explore. However, steep steps up to the cottage from the road. Slate on top of the steps that are very slippery when wet and no hand rail. I slipped coming down and injured my knee which rather curtailed my activities for the rest of the stay. I would advise not using this route but come from the drive and not park in layby as advised.

Excellent cottage in a beautiful spot

This was our third stay in Haulfryn.

Highly recommend for the fabulous views and gardens . Very cosy, comfortable and warm cottage. Can’t wait to return again . Thankyou to Chris and Liz , the cottage and gardens make for a great and memorable holiday

Wonderful cottage in a lovely area.

Everything we forgot was provided as standard! Warm and cosy, breathtaking garden.

We have just returned from a wonderful week at Haulfryn.

The cottage is full of character and has the most spectacular gardens, the rear garden is raised and has the most breathtaking views from the top. The door ways are low due to the age of the property but luckily myself and my husband are short! The log burner in the front room was used every night as we had a cold week (even though it was the end of March) Chris the owner kindly left us extra logs and was very easy to communicate with. We covered a vast area whilst staying at Haulfryn and still have so much more to see and do so will return. As stated this cottage is on a B road and the only thing that spoils the tranquility is the sound of cars, but I will take that for all the other benefits to staying here.

Loved our stay at Haulfryn.

We couldn't think of a better place to spend our 2 week Christmas holiday. The views from the cottage are out of this world, the cottage is cosy and comfortable and we loved the log fires. Comfortable beds and excellent WiFi. Chris went out his way to help us throughout our stay and providing us with plenty of local knowledge and also plenty of Logs!!!!! We had some fantastic walks straight from the cottage door. We had some huge storms during our stay, bit this just added to the enjoyment! We will 100% return to Haulfryn. Thank you for everything.

Lovely cottage.

Lovely location. Some low doors so watch your heads!

Wonderful cottage and location enjoyed celebrating my 60th birthday could not ask for more beyond expectations Thankyou x

The cottage and gardens are beautifully kept.

The cottage is extremely well equipped too.

A lovely cottage in a great setting.

We felt very much at home there. Well equipped, comfortable furnishings and very nicely decorated. Lovely garden, views and wild birds. Just beware the low doorways!

Good host .

Comfortable cottage. Beautiful views from front and back of cottage,hard to beat. Situation perfect for walking and visiting areas of interest. This is somewhere to come back to time and time again.

Beautiful cottage, very well equipped and very comfortable.

Fabulous garden very well maintained. All set in a beautiful peaceful valley. Very helpful owner. Can’t wait to come back again.

Haulfryn is a beautiful cottage in a stunning area .

The cottage is cozy but well thought out ,it has everything you need . The garden is very pretty and well kept ,I really enjoyed sitting at the top for golden hour soaking in the incredible views . The hosts made us feel very welcomed .

Our second visit , we’ve now booked for a third year.

Says it all

A nice stay in a lovely cottage which had everything we needed.

The owner was very helpful and provided clear instructions to everything. The surroundings were beautiful and the gardens were amazing. We would recommend this cottage and area to anyone

Everything thete that we needed, 2nd time we had stayed there and just as good as the first.

Hopefully we will go back again next year. We used all the birdseed up, or the great variety of birds in the garden did including the pheasant and squirrel

Enjoyed the holiday .

Lounge was a little small however, everything else was fine other than one of the toilets was a little difficult to flush . The views were spectacular and the area had plenty of things to see and do. Would definitely recommended it to others .

This is a lovely, well-equipped cottage in a simply stunning area.

Everything you need is provided by Chris and Liz. Their communication before our stay was excellent. The cottage is really comfortable. I saw a review saying that the sitting room was too small for four people. No idea what they are used to, but there is plenty of room for four people. The log burner makes it really cosy on a chilly evening too. We found the separate utility room so useful for drying wet walking clothes and boots. As two couples is was great to have two bathrooms as well plus an extra loo/sink ensuite. We ate 3 times in the New Inn during our stay. Perfectly good pub food and very friendly locals. A good walk back up the hill to the cottage afterwards was great. I took a high-vis and head torch as it’s dark and some of the walk was on the road. Loads of places to visit in the area and tonnes of walks. We had a fabulous week. Thanks so much.

Lovely cottage, small living room but perfectly ok for 2, road although the main one into the village is quiet.

Steep walk back from village and the pavement only covers 80% then its a grass verge. Would Always go back great host and great views.

Haulfryn Cottage was a fabulous choice.

We booked so we could go to zip World at Penrhyn Quarry which was just over an hour away. The communication with Chris and Liz was perfect. Directions were spot on- we even found it on a dark, rainy night. The cottage was cosy, wood burner was all laid up ready for us. Some welcome goods of wine, milk and farm eggs was lovely! No phone signal in the whole area but the wifi was great. Bedrooms were lovely too, we all slept well- there are toilets en-suite in both (one with a shower) An other shower and toilet downstairs. Great views from the front of the cottage with well cared for gardens and watching the birds. A well needed weekend break for 4 friends- would return for further exploring!

Well equipped, well appointed cottage.

Great views of the Tanat Valley. Great dark skies for those with a telescope. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding areas. Aladdin's Cave of a General Store in nearby Pen-y-Bont-Fawr. Quality Artisan Food in Oswestry on the market.

One of the best properties we have ever stayed in.

I would say it actually exceeded our expectations due to all the extras provided by the very pleasant and helpful owners. The cottage has lovely gardens surrounding it and views to the fells. If we were to be critical about anything it would be busy road but the cottage does sit back from it and in no way did it spoil our holiday. We would never hesitate to book this cottage again.

Very comfortable cottage with a beautiful garden in a good location.

Well equipped with a generous welcome package, lots of maps and local information. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and it was a pleasure to meet Chris who, with his wife Liz have created a real home from home. Would highly recommend.

Perfect holiday destination,wonderful views from the property Haulfryn was very comfortable well equipped so much so that we have booked for next year.

The most well equipped cottage we've stayed in.

Plenty of crockery, cleaning supplies, condiments, toilet rolls, soap, towels and flannels etc. Just the everyday things that you don't want to be wasting time driving to the supermarket for, as it is a good 40 mins away. Also a fab welcome hamper from the owners, who are lovely. TV and wifi no problems. The gardens are wonderful, we were very lucky with the weather so made the most of them and spotted some amazing wildlife. The biggest hedgehog I've ever seen came to visit. The views are stunning, the prettiest place we've been. The local pub was very welcoming, dog friendly and food was good, huge portions and reasonably priced. The church of st. Melangell is just a short scenic drive off the village. A must see. A thoroughly relaxing break. Thanks Chris and Liz, we hope to return.

Lovely cottage in a lovely part of Wales, well presented garden, the cottage met pretty much all our needs, would certainly consider going back

A clean tidy well kept cottage with everything you needed for a relaxing stay With lovely views across the valley and well kept beautiful gardens with an abundance of birds and wildlife in the garden.

We spent a lot of time just relaxing in the gardens as it was so peaceful A lovely welcome gift of wine chocolates flowers milk and eggs from the owners was a nice touch as well We will definately be back at some point in the future.

What a beautiful cottage this is, we had a wonderful week , and were blessed with the weather, so could spend time in the amazing gardens.

Very clean, well equipped cottage, with everything you need , lovely area with lots of places of interest to visit

Thank you for the hospitality.

This is a beautiful place and appears to be much loved and looked after. We had a great time! Would highly recommend.

Had a lovely stay, but the owners need to sort the TV out as it was a real pain every night trying to get the TV to switch on, even following the guide in the information pack.

My wife and I and the mother-in-law spent a week here in the beginning of May, excellent cottage

This has to be one of the best cottages we have stayed in.

Haulfryn is a beautiful cottage and the gardens are amazing. If you want a relaxing, peaceful holiday amid fantastic scenery then this is the place to chose. The cottage is well equipped and very comfortable and very tastefully decorated and cared for by the owners. Lots of fabulous walks in the area and we often finished the walk in the nice little welcoming pub in the village. We loved it here so much that we have already booked again for next year.

What a beautiful place to lose yourself and forget all about the outside world!

We couldn’t be contacted unless we we out and about which suited us as we just needed a break from the hustle and bustle! The cottage was stunning the pictures really don’t do it justice, it was spotless and welcoming! The owners had left us a thoughtful welcome package which really was lovely along with detailed instructions on the use of anything we may not have been sure of. Also a pretty vase of flowers to cheer our arrival! The bedrooms were so pretty and also lots of light flooding in because of the sunshine we had all week! There were great walks to be had locally as well as visiting other places, not one person wanted to leave as we had all relaxed so much. We really can recommend this gorgeous cottage to anyone who wants a little magic in their lives as it felt like we had been away for 2 weeks, that’s how rested we became! Marvellous, thank you!

The cottage is very clean comfortable and the fire was prepared for our arrival with a nice bottle of red wine and few other goodies as a welcome gift.

You don't have to travel to far to find good walks and the garden is stunning in the evening sunshine. Overall thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I didn't meet Chris but he was very kind & obliging on the telephone.

Sometimes North wales cottages can be a bit forbidding but Haulfryn was a lovely comfortable, warm little cottage. It's clearly been converted and restored with a lot of sensitivity and taste. We were lucky with the weather and the view from the seat at the top of the garden was quite breathtaking. I was half afraid in case I might wake up and find it was just in my dreams! The Railway Inn in Penybont Fawr became our local. Basic in some ways but that's fine with me and everyone made us welcome. I miss it and the house!

Very comfortable place to stay and chill out.

Everything you would need to do that was there. Plenty of information and maps available.

My husband and I stayed at Haulfryn with our dog in early February 2022 and we had the loveliest time.

The cottage is absolutely beautiful and is immaculately clean. Chris and Liz are the most wonderful hosts - They prepared a list of local activities we may be interested in, as well as preparing the wood burner so it was ready to go (which made the living room the best place to cosy-up in during stormy weather). They also left us fresh eggs, milk, wine and chocolate which was a lovely touch. We’ve only just got home and are already planning a return trip. I would unreservedly recommend Haulfryn to anybody looking for a peaceful, picturesque escape in North Wales.

We had the most fantastic stay in this beautiful cottage,This is one of the best we have ever stayed in.

Warm,cosy,everything that we needed was there. Beautiful garden,fantastic location,stunning views. Great communication with owner,Can’t wait to visit again.

A wonderful two weeks in this warm, cosy and well equipped cottage.

It felt like staying at a friend's house rather than a holiday cottage. Lovely location with beautiful views from the terraced rear garden and so many birds coming to the feeders in the front garden. The kitchen and utility room were equipped with everything you could need and more. Comfortable bedrooms with plenty of clothes storage and two lovely bathrooms. We could have moved in!

As expected on all fronts - thank you.

The cottage, as before exceeded our expectations as it is one of the best we have stayed at.

The whole setting and location where the cottage is makes access to the Snowdonia area easy, but also access to towns & village shops are also within easy reach. One of our best ever holidays again.!! Which we will repeating again in the near future.

Lovely cottage with everything you could need.

Owners really helpful. Would love to stay again

The cottage is lovely with comfortable beds and good showers.

The hosts provided a welcome package of food/wine which was very thoughtful. The views over the hills are stunning. The garden is beautiful and we enjoyed watching the garden birds. The cottage is very well equipped with everything you need to cook, clean and wash clothes. It is quite remote (part of its charm) and Morrisons’ deliveries helped. There is no mobile signal and the wi-fi is slow. We are a family of four, with children aged 8 and 12. We spent a lot of time paddle boarding at Lake Vyrmwy, doing activities in Llangollen and horse-riding at Springhill Farm, as well as walking locally. We thoroughly enjoyed our two weeks at Haulfryn and would definitely stay again if returning to Wales.

The cottage is very comfortable, well appointed and in a beautiful location.

The owner Chris is a lovely person who we met on the Sunday whilst he was gardening. On that note the gardens front and back are well kept and thriving. One thing to be aware of is the lack of any service to your mobiles as you are in a mountainous area. Opposite the front of the cottage were lots of wildlife, we were fascinated by the buzzards flying across the ridges, stunning to see. On the Thursday the water pressure had dropped due to works further up the road, and Chris came with a supply of water, most helpful.

Absolutely lovely quaint cottage, located in a beautiful area.

Well equipped, great communication for the owners and Sykes. Would we go back ABSOLUTELY we will.

The cottage was very comfortable, and clean, had a lovely week there.

the owners left a bottle of wine, milk and eggs which was very much appreciated. We loved sitting out on the back garden. We will be coming back next year.

We had a great week in this Cottage, the weather wasn't very good to us but we still enjoyed our stay.

The Cottage is well located and a real sun trap, the view across the valley is lovely and although next to a road we didn't really notice the traffic noise. A very comfortable and clean Cottage making for a quiet relaxing stay.

Fantastic holiday cottage.

Had everything we could need for a relaxing break. Really good location for exploring. It was lovely to come home at the end of the day to this peaceful spot. Cottage was clean, comfortable and had a lovely garden. We spent warm afternoons sat out in the sun watching the birds and came home feeling very relaxed.

We've stayed at Haulfryn twice now and loved it both times.

The cottage and gardens are beautiful and we felt at home straight away. We had everything we needed, including milk for a cup of tea on arrival. We had lovely days out at Bala, Barmouth, Lake Vyrnwy and Rhaeadr Waterfall and also walks around the village. In the evenings we had delicious meals at the New Inn or sat in the garden with the fantastic views listening to the sheep and birds - bliss!

It is a lovely cottage .

Covered all of our requirements and more .

This cottage was lovely, the setting and views from the cottage are beautiful, there is some road noise but this didn’t deter from us having a good relaxing holiday and didn’t interrupt a good nights sleep.

Both bathrooms well equipped and the extra toilet and sink in the second bedroom was great. Bedrooms themselves quite spacious with plenty wardrobe space, the bed mattresses were a little springy and would have preferred a firmer one but this is a personal requirement. The lounge all be it small was cosy and comfortable and a nice room to relax in the evening. Kitchen very spacious with everything you could need to make a full on family roast dinner (should you wish) table big enough to seat whole the family. The walk to the village included a section with no path so beware of the traffic, the village pub was disappointing, we felt little effort had been made to make it welcoming and needed some TLC this being the case we opted for a drink only so can’t comment on the food. Overall the cottage was clean and tidy in a beautiful setting, gardens were lovely with plenty of garden furniture (could have done with a garden parasol) great communication with the owner Chris, would recommend and would definitely return.

We had a lovely relaxing week in this gorgeous Welsh Cottage and would definitely recommend it and book it again for future holidays.

The cottage and gardens are great. Our dog loved being in the gardens and we all enjoyed watching the birds there. The front room is small but cosy, especially with the log burner in the evening, and the beds were comfortable. Hubby struggled with the low ceilings, but otherwise it was a perfect little getaway. Lovely welcome pack and useful information on arrival was much appreciated. The owners are lovely and were very helpful when we had problems with the WiFi. Our week away in Haulfryn was just the tonic we needed after shielding for months due to COVID-19. Thank you!

Beautiful cottage with amazing views and very comfy beds

Just back from a weeks holiday in this beautiful cottage and what a fabulous week we had.

It’s very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The log burner is lovely on a chilly evening and very cosy. We were lucky enough to have some sunshine so could spent time in the immaculate gardens, which are bursting with flowers, perfect to watch the sun go down and full of birds and wildlife. The views surrounding this beautiful cottage are stunning! The local pub is in walking distance and very friendly, the food was great too, they even served a vegan curry that was delicious. Thank you for an awesome holiday, we’d definitely recommend it!

Beautiful location & views from the cottage made our stay a relaxing week.

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side but we were very cosy sat in front of the log burner playing board games. Phone signal was non existent but isn’t that the reason to go away to somewhere like this? The WiFi was brilliant anyway so you aren’t completely cut off. The beds were very comfy and everywhere was clean & tidy. Plenty of books on offer to read as well as watching the wildlife from the windows. On the two days we managed to get out we visited the waterfall & Betws-y-Coed which were both within an hours drive. We also visited the inn down the road one night for a meal which was lovely & dog friendly. We will definitely be back, thank you!

We had a great time there, hoping to book again this year

Excellent cottage with all equipment and facilities we needed and more.

Loved relaxing in front of the fire in the evening after spending the day exploring and walking the beautiful countryside.

A delightful, comfortable and extremely well-equipped cottage.

As it rained on most days we particularly appreciated the central heating. The garden is delightful and the birdlife was amazing. Altogether a really pleasant holiday cottage.

When booking and again just prior to departure I made a particular point as to the location of the local pub as we planned to take our evening meals there and it was a key element in our choice.

I was assured it was within easy walking distance. This is not the case, it is in fact 3/4 mile away down a road that for much of its length has no pavement and of course no street lighting. This spoilt our stay and is particularly annoying to be mislead by your staff. The cottage is excellent, well equipped, comfortable and with wonderful views. For your information the lack of a phone signal and internet would stop us from staying there again. This was clearly stated in the details but when issues such as the above crop up one realises how useful communications are.

Firstly we had a good holiday despite the inaccuracy of the listing.

However- 1. The cottage living space was much smaller than it looks on the photos , lounge very small for 4adults. 2. The bathrooms were all quite grubby, we had to clean them all before using ( beard trimmings in sink in en suite, dirty shower etc) we left them much cleaner than when we arrived! 3. The mobile signal is absolutely nil anywhere for miles 4. The pub in the village is 3/4 mile, between 10/15 mins walk along the road which has no footpath for the first half, wouldn’t like to walk it in the dark. Only 1 pub was open all the time we were there. 4. Shop is 3 miles away & small - bring supplies with you. 5. There are some beautiful walks here but many footpaths are poorly sign posted & maintained, be particularly careful up the mountain behind the house. On the plus side - The garden is lovely, beautifully designed & maintained.

The Accuracy of the listing was pretty much spot on, like saying some vehicle noise may be heard due to the Road and the poor mobile phone reception in the cottage and general area, the lack of phone reception was one of the reasons we choose the property, to have a break away from phones, the cottage had everything you may need and then some, excellent cottage for walkers and dog friendly

Beautiful house and stunning surroundings everything you need is in the house even had wine milk and water eggs left which was lovely

This was a very well equipped cottage in every respect.

However the fact that we were unable to use our mobile ‘phones did cause a problem when we needed to make an urgent call. The public telephone in the village was not working, and we had to go to the public house to use their landline which in turn kept dropping out. We feel this should be made known in the general information about the cottage. We will. certainly book another holiday with Sykes.

The location was lovely and remote.

The lack of signal was what we wanted. The privacy was lovely. The cottage and gardens were well maintained and the decore and facilities were excellent. The only faults were that the beds weren’t very comfortable, the local walks weren’t accessible and the door frames were very low. Despite the latter being labelled we still managed to bang our heads quite a bit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and so did our furry friend.

This cottage looks lovely from the outside but very disappointing on the inside extremely dirty, used soap and dirty nail rush left in the bathrooms.

Mouldy shower . Mould in the bedrooms not to mention the thick dust behind the beds and on the bedside tables , cobwebs everywhere. My family had to leave this cottage early .

A wonderful cottage in an idyllic location with well kept gardens and a well equipped cottage.

Well located for visits `to Bala, Barmouth, Oswestry and Llanglollen. Owners`left milk and eggs as well as a bottle of wine that was really appreciated. Weather great all week and some good walks in the local area that are not too strenuous, although it is a climb back to the cottage from the village.Would use this cottage again.

The central heating didn't fully warm the house you needed to use the wood burner but unfortunately the kitchen wood burner was out of use which was advertised as two wood burners.

we needed to use the kitchen wood burner as it came very cold. the price of the logs seemed quite high for the amount in each bag.

Our fourth time at Haulfryn and we still love the cottage, the gardens and the village.

There are wonderful walks right from the front door and also a little further afield. With everything we could want for us right within the cottage, we'll definitely be back for another visit!

The cottage itself was amazingly well equipped.

We found everything we needed. Around the cottage were lovely objects d'art....far more than I have ever seen in other holiday homes. I am hoping to return!

it was just wonderful, peaceful and amazing location and breath taking scenery all around, great walks and so relaxing and a big thanks to Chris and Liz for their offers of help and kindness, look forward to the next visit.

A simply wonderful cottage.

Anyone visiting Wales in November should pack for every weather (which we did) and yet coming back to the cosy Haulfryn after a long, wet walk is everything we could have hoped for. Very well furnished and equipped so it feels much more homely than many a holiday home. We'll definitely be back again!

No telephone in case of emergencies, which was rather worrying as we are both over 75 yrs and unable to walk far.

The cottage was absolutely wonderful and the only reason I would not return was that it was very difficult to find somewhere to walk my dog in the locality off the lead.

It was a lovely break in a very comfortable cottage with everything we needed.
