Guests say
Henrhiw Bach is a charming cottage in North Wales, praised for its stunning views, peaceful location, and friendly owners. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, cosy atmosphere, and the authentic rural Welsh experience it offers. While some minor issues with maintenance and amenities were noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The majority of guests found the cottage very clean upon arrival. However, one review mentioned finding used sanitary products and tissues, suggesting a lapse in cleanliness standards for that stay.
The location is highly praised for its amazing views, tranquillity, and proximity to hiking trails and mountain biking. It is considered an ideal spot for a peaceful retreat in Snowdonia.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the open fire in the living room. Some guests mentioned issues with mattresses and heating, which slightly affected the comfort level.
The cottage is well-equipped according to several guests, but there were reports of maintenance issues such as non-working heaters and a lack of hot water from taps initially. The absence of Wi-Fi and phone signal was noted, though some saw this as a positive.
While guests mentioned receiving a warm welcome and some thoughtful gestures like Welsh cakes on arrival, there is not enough consistent information about gifts to provide a score. It should be noted that such gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

It's in a good location to explore all the beautiful waterfalls, valleys and Snowdon. The idea to explore Wales as a holiday was originally booked before we brought a puppy but we rebooked for the following year in this scenic cottage that accepted pets. All the walks were breathtaking and we were out from dawn til dusk. A different kind of break for our family and even our autistic son loved the cabin bed. Only concerns were no phone signal until exiting the village so use a map or pull over to route once on way and we had to tread carefully in the garden as a few areas of paving were loose. Overall I would recommend this cottage it didn't feel cramped with 2 Adults, 3 Children and a medium sized dog. Many thanks and all the best.
