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.

Beautiful Stay 5

We had such a lovely stay at Hen Stabl. The location was perfect—peaceful and tucked away, but still really close to the beach, towns, restaurants, and plenty of things to do. Our hosts were so friendly and full of interesting stories about the history of the place—we could’ve chatted all day! We’d definitely recommend staying here and will 100% be booking again. Thanks so much!

If I could give 10 stars I would. The Cottage was beautiful and the back garden was stunning. Even the neighbours cows enjoyed meeting us at the fence. Gary was very knowledgeable about the area. We loved staying there.

Home from Home!

The house is an old cottage which has been modernised to give an upstairs living area and downstairs sleeping which is perfect for affording views of the breathtaking surrounding area.The attention to detail within the home is gorgeous from the bedding and soft furnishings to the furniture placing and kitchen accessories, there is nothing additional we could have asked for.It enabled a totally restful break.The Harlech Deli and the view as you leave the house at the top of the road are things we will never tire of!We would recommend whole heartedly.

Charming Stay in Harlech

We had a wonderful experience in this special rental. The host was so kind and space was perfect for us. We enjoyed the nearby town, castle, an Afternoon Tea in Port Meirion and a day trip up to Holyhead and Llandudno. We wished we'd had more time this trip to take in the local hiking and lots of other spots. Thanks so much for your hospitality!

Seriously, don’t bother looking anywhere else – this place has it all

A wonderful place to relax!!If you’re looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Hen Sabl is the perfect spot.Tucked away in a peaceful location, it’s within walking distance to the beach and close to a village where you can get everything you need for a total chill-out in a cottage that’s equipped to the absolute highest standard, with a beautifully maintained garden. Honestly, you wouldn’t even need to leave—you could just soak in the calm, the silence, and the slow life that defines this place.For those seeking a bit more adventure, all the most beautiful sights of Snowdonia are within 30 minutes to 1.5 hours’ drive, but the views are so stunning that the journey flies by in a blink.We rarely return to the same accommodation twice, but the vibe here was so special that we’ll definitely be back. The hosts were very kind and helpful—they really went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable.When it comes to non-hotel stays, this one sets the new standard.

Love Hen Stabl

We had such a great stay. Hen Stabl was exactly as it was said to be and more. Beautifully appointed with everything we needed waiting for us. Touches of home made our stay that much more comfortable - Gary even had a fully decorated Christmas tree in the living room for us :-)) Plenty of space for four of us with super comfy beds and lounge area. Relaxing by the log fire at the end of each day was just as we had imagined. We loved coming "home" after exploring the gorgeous area each day. We loved our visit to Wales and would happily come back to Hen Stabl.
