Hen Stabl was saved from ruin and refurbished in the late 1990's by order of Snowdonia National Park due to it's significant historic interest to the village of Llanfair.

Very pleasant stay
Had a little difficulty in locating due to relying on "Google" rather than Gary's excellent directions! Location on Google maps has now been updated. Easy access, everything found as listed in Gary's detailed information sheet. Very clean and tidy. Host has great attention to detail. Bed very comfortable, slept well every night. Quiet location. Well equiped kitchen, with wellcome pack of essentials and treats for the week. Comfortable settee and good smart TV. Good Wifi. Convenient bus stop next to property.

Awesome
Everything about our stay was wonderful. We toured all over northern Wales and it was such a joy to return to our cozy accommodation at the end of each day. Loved every minute. There was a bunch of yummy goodies waiting for us when we checked in. The hosts were wonderful.

One word - Amazing!
We stayed over Christmas - it was an amazing little place to get away from the city and spend quite time with the family, very cosy! Also looks like a great place to visit in summer, close to beach, sailing, trail walks and sight seeing locations. Great for a small family I.e. couple with two kids or even a couples getaway. Furnishings are really nicely done too and a kitchen with everything you need!
