Property was clean and comfortable with a welcome gift of Welsh cakes and milk. The whole area is extremely dog friendly and Fairbourne Beach is stunning. Make a point of visiting the Fairbourne steam train, Cregganan Lakes, Dolgellau and doing the Precipice Walk. One really minor point was lack of useful contact number and guidance on checking out. Minimal cleaning equipment and recycling/ general rubbish bins were full and we only added to the problem. Overall the Henddol Cottage 2 was a lovely, quiet and relaxing place to stay; loved our time here and we would definitely consider staying here again.

It felt cosy yet spacious and our two children loved that it was an 'upside down' house. It was clean and the welcome treat was gratefully received! The double bed has a head board and foot board which was slightly restrictive for one of the party (6ft3) but other than that we really couldn't fault it. We took bikes and really enjoyed pedalling to Barmouth over the railway bridge to go crabbing. But we also spent a lot of time in Fairbourne which was in easy walking or very easy cycling distance. The beach is stunning, and we enjoyed several meals in the Penrhyn bar and grill, and the chippy. The little steam train was also a bit hit. If you pay gift aid you can use your ticket many times during the year after buying it, which was a welcome surprise.
