  We had an excellent stay at Hen Blas.

  Alan was really welcoming and helpful. He has done a great job in converting the flat, and it has a great feel to it. We loved the open plan, and it was very well equipped with wood burner, dishwasher/washing machine/drier and modern kitchen/fridge freezer and Wifi. Great position in the centre of Aberdaron. Warm and cosy with excellent central heating for a cold week. We wanted to mention a few things which we feel would help to improve it. Alan is aware we had a bit of an issue with the drainage from the shower, which happened throughout the week. It might need looking at. The toilet seat was loose, as were the kitchen taps. Just a few additions to kitchen equipment would make it even more home from home. A few basics were missing, such as- a large frying pan, cereal bowls, large mixing bowls, lemon squeezer, oven gloves, baking trays, hand blender and electric whisk. The roasting tin was rusty and old. We would have also liked to have more comfortable seating in the lounge area e.g.Two 2-seater soft fabric sofas, rather than the narrow leather chairs/sofa, as we didn't feel we could properly relax by the fire. Overall though the experience of staying there was very good, and we think these things would be simple to add. We come to Aberdaron every Easter, and would definitely want to stay there again with these few additions.

  The cottage was beautiful.

  even if it needed a bit more time on the cleanliness there were spiders in cobwebs in the kitchen and the skirting boards could have been cleaned a little better. There is possibly a wasps nest in the upstairs rooms as we counted 20 around the window this needs checking before any children stay there. The property although mainly flat on the ground floor is definitely NOT disabled friendly as the living room has 2 steps from the hall and 2 steps from the kitchen anyone with walking issues would not be able to access this room as the steps are quite high The bedrooms all had ensuite and were a really good size and bedding towels etc were provided as was coffee and milk the only thing I purchased was washing up liquid as it seemed a waste using the dishwasher. the owner provided lots of information which was most welcome the only thing lacking was instructions for the wood burner Not everyone has one of these and I had no idea where to start I would recommend taking shopping with you as the only store we found was a Spar in Aberdaron and it was very expensive. I have been to Aberdaron several times over the last 30 years and love the area and walks on the beach would I go again probably not the property was too big for just the 2 of us but bring the family and I am sure you will love the cottage and the surrounding area.

  This accommodation is not for anyone who enjoys comfort.

  Positives are that It is an open plan two bed with plenty of room and does allow pets. It is in the middle of the village so a great spot for the beach , shop and cafes. The ship and Ty neudd are right next door and Alun the host is a lovely man and can be got hold of easily as he is in the ship hotel (owns both properties). The Negatives are that the DVD was broken which on a rainy day (Aberdaron weather can fluctuate) is needed. Kitchen equipment is not great and the apartment required some maintenance. No information available on where to put rubbish etc, cleanliness could be better and there are two flights of concrete steps up to the property and no where to park outside which is not great when unloading the car (You do get a permit for the National Trust car park a short distance away). There is some noise early morning with deliveries and bins and weekends until late evening due to due to drinking in the ship next door. That said Aberdaron is a lovely spot and we have returned there for holiday for the past 5 years. Dogs are allowed on a section of the beach, the landscape is spectacular and Fisherman’s Cove and the Lookout are worth a visit. Truly a lovely spot for relaxation.

  The area & location are fantastic 10/10 but unfortunately there are some maintenance works needed to bring the place upto an acceptable standard.

  Loose fitted taps made it difficult to use them, washing machine leaks massively on use & floods the apartment, paint peeling of walls due to damp in bedroom & bathroom, shower tray holds water & needed plunger on each use, outside lighting not working & is almost impossible to see when leaving & entering the place causing me to trip on the 2 steps next to the entrance door resulting in a sprained ankle, someone else living in an adjoining room only separated by a locked door with no keyhole cover & is able to see into our apartment during our stay, ironing board supplied but not usable, living area windows locked & unable to open them. We did mention to the owner at the ship hotel but he was unable to sort anything due to it being easyer bank holiday weekend & was also offered an extra nights stay & free meal on the day we we're due to leave but we'd already packed & loaded the car & to be honest wouldn't have stayed anyway with the things listed above. This place could be a fantastic place with some easy maintenance done but it did ruin it for us when we stayed.

  Flowery language used in description could have led us to believe that the property was more luxurious than it was had we not seen through it!

  However it was clean and we had everything we needed for our stay. It took us a while to find the property when we arrived in Aberdaron, don’t think we were given any directions. The sat nav only took us to the postcode so were travelling around narrow lanes and had to ask at a house! We have been holidaying in self catering properties for over 40 years now and recently most places provide some sort of welcome pack. (A bottle of milk in the fridge at least. ) Maybe something the owners could possibly consider in the future? The bed was extremely comfortable but the sofas were not. The kitchen was well equipped, everything was clean, plenty of cutlery and crockery, although the cooker getting a little tired. Don’t mean to sound negative, we had a great holiday and hope to visit the area again next year. We didn’t need to contact the owners but knew they were on hand should we have needed to.
