About the host

Host profile image
We have dreamt of moving to Snowdonia for many years and now the dream has become a reality! We are now enjoying our time managing the cottages at Llanfair and Dolgellau and taking time to soak up the beauty and healthy lifestyle that Snowdonia has to offer. We have brought a house which will be an on-going project as we have lots of ideas and aspersions to make it our perfect home.

Why they chose this property

We had been looking for a second cottage in Snowdonia to buy as a holiday home and we had specific requirements regarding the location. We wanted a cottage which was close to the beach and preferably with a sea view, we also wanted the cottage to be close to the countryside and mountains. We like to walk and explore so having all of this on our doorstep was important to us. When we came across Hen Stabl we knew that it was the cottage for us as it ticked all of the boxes on our wish list and in November 2017 we collected the keys and started the refurbishment project!

What makes this property unique

Hen Stabl is situated on the main bus route which services most of the main market towns and villages, it runs at regular intervals and the stop is only just up the lane from the cottage. There is a train stop at Llandanwg and Pensarn; both are only a 10minute walk from the cottage. The train is only made up of two carriages and you have to put your hand out for it to stop! Again it services all of the coastal villages and towns that you’ll probably want to visit. If you wanted to go further afield you can get to Birmingham with only one change!
