Guests say

Bennar Fawr is a well-received holiday cottage, praised for its stylish decor, comfortable furnishings, and excellent customer service. The property's location is ideal, close to the beach and local amenities. Guests have enjoyed the luxurious touches such as en-suite bathrooms, hot tubs, and a sauna. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience has been overwhelmingly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it clean upon arrival. However, there were isolated comments about garden tidiness and minor interior maintenance, slightly affecting the score.

The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and local shops, with guests appreciating the stunning views and friendly locals. The ease of access to nearby attractions also contributes to the high score.

Guests consistently mention the comfort of the beds and the luxury of having en-suite bathrooms. The spaciousness and homely feel of the property contribute to a high comfort level, although some noted a lack of storage in one room.

The facilities, including hot tubs and a sauna, are a highlight for many guests. The kitchen is well-equipped for large groups, though some guests suggested additional cooking utensils and serving dishes would be beneficial. Maintenance issues like lighting and sensor lights were noted.

While the reviews reflect a high level of satisfaction with the property's offerings and mention a welcome pack, there is insufficient information to determine the consistency of thoughtful gestures such as gifts. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

About this property

Dyffryn Ardudwy 1.7 miles. Resting by the coast near Dyffryn Ardudwy, North Wales is this remarkable, detached house of Bennar Fawr. A historic property that dates back to the 15th century, Bennar Fawr is ideal for a large family celebration or gathering, with its stunning and spacious interiors, outdoor spaces and ample off-road parking for up to 15 cars! You will be wowed by Bennar Fawr's marvellous exterior as you pull up outside; take in the sea breeze and the landscaped gardens before entering the impressive dwelling. After an adventurous day out, there is nothing better than unwinding, and Bennar Fawr provides plenty of that, thanks to its numerous sitting areas, including two well-decorated sitting rooms; both feature TVs. Move across the ground floor to find a spacious snug that can seat all the group, where you can enjoy a catch up over coffee, or perhaps you'd prefer to catch the sunny rays in the conservatory?

Gather around the lengthy dining table to enjoy a grand meal with your loved ones, or simply savour a quick meal-to-go at the breakfast bar if you're eager to head out to the beach. After dinner, choose between one of 10 beautifully appointed bedrooms, all enjoying names that reflect the region, with six of these enjoying identical en-suite shower rooms and resting on the ground floor, including five super-king-sizes, with two offering single sofa beds, along with a family room that features four single beds; ideal for the kids! Venture upstairs to find five more bedrooms, with three of these resting in the west wing of the property and enjoying far-reaching views of the sand dunes, including two super-king-sizes sharing access to a fabulous shower room and bathroom, along with a king-size with an en-suite shower room.

    Would 100% recommend

  • Lindsay

    Comfortable beds and a really cute welcome basket left out on our arrival. The house is well loved and Its a stones throw away from the beach. We loved our stay. Laura was amazing in any additional information needed and quick to respond.

  • Safira

    This made managing a large group of people at meal times so much more easier. There is something for everyone to do. It is very conveniently located near shops and the beach. Would book this cottage again.
