Guests say
Hendoll Barn is consistently praised for its comfort, spaciousness, and modern amenities, set in a beautiful and convenient location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the property's charm. The proximity to the beach and scenic walks, as well as the thoughtful touches like Christmas decorations, contribute to a rejuvenating stay. Some minor issues were noted, but overall, the barn is highly recommended as a delightful base for exploring North Wales.
The majority of guests found the barn to be clean and welcoming, with particular praise for its well-maintained condition. However, a few guests mentioned the presence of cobwebs and a dog smell, suggesting room for improvement in deep cleaning, which slightly affects the score.
The barn's location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to the beach, and easy access to local attractions and Snowdonia National Park. Guests enjoyed the scenic walks and the peaceful hamlet, contributing to a high score for location.
Guests frequently complimented the barn's comfortable furnishings, including the sofas and beds. The spacious living areas and the warmth of the property added to the overall comfort. Some concerns about kitchen lighting and garden enclosure were noted, but these were minor compared to the overall positive feedback.
The barn is well-equipped with modern facilities, a well-stocked kitchen, and comfortable living spaces. Guests appreciated the attention to detail, although some mentioned the lack of information packs and storage for bikes and wet gear. The loud bathroom fans were a minor inconvenience.
While guests mentioned thoughtful touches like Christmas decorations, there is not enough information to determine if such gestures are consistent or to what extent they impact the guest experience. Therefore, the score for thoughtfulness is set to null.

It was dusty, there were cobwebs on the windows and dead spiders. The bathroom with the shower had a lot of black mould. I had to re-wash plates and cutlery before we could use them and the whole downstairs smelt of dogs. It could be a really wonderful place, it just needs a really good deep clean. The outside and gardens were beautifully kept.
