The Llanfendigaid Estate has six properties: The Main House Llanfendigaid (sleeps 18), Dove Cottage (sleeps 4), Stable Cottage (sleeps 4), The Cow Shed (sleeps 6), The Shepherd Hut (sleeps 2) and The Pod (sleeps 2). All share a newly refurbished 28' x 14' indoor heated pool. The Estate is located by the sea at the southern end of Snowdonia National Park. The Main House has a Grade II* listed building status given its historic importance.
My partner and I stayed for a few nights in the shepherds hut and absolutely loved it! It has great views of the coast and fields next to the hut and a cosy and comfortable inside. We had everything we needed and were even able to enjoy the pool for a bit. The area is easy to explore and in general, we had a lovely time. We would 100% come back in the future.
The cottage has been beautifully renovated. The kitchen has all mod cons, the open plan living room is cosy and comfortable. The bedrooms were comfy with a huge kingsize bed. Lisa has done a beautiful job on the interior design in all the rooms. The only slight gripe is that the shower over the bath was very difficult to access for anyone with mobility issues as the side of the bath is very high so climbing in and out was rather difficult as we are both in our 60s.
A really wonderful week spent at the lovely Dove Cottage. Really can't be faulted despite the dodgy weather. Very relaxing and made extremely welcome by all concerned. Will definitely be returning at the first opportunity.
I booked the house for a yoga retreat as I have in the past. The setting/area is absolutely magnificent. Unfortunately there is a significant difference in the rooms with some providing luxury and others much more basic. This has caused problems for me and had one very unhappy guest (single room).
However this was such a shame as otherwise a very special house.
