Graham
Lovely family holiday at Stabla last month, for 5 adults, a baby and dog. Plenty of space inside and out, good facilities, helpful owners who live next door. Close to plenty of towns, mountains and beaches for a weeks worth of days out.
Shirley
Stabla was first rate in all regards. It is a beautiful listed building restored with great care, located in a very tranquil setting and yet close to a great beach and local shopping. It was well equipped, amply spacious for our large family group the children very much enjoyed running around on the ground floor as in the secure outdoor area, and comfortable. The owners were lovely and extremely helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend it and will certainly think about coming back next year. It is the best holiday property we have ever rented for our family summer break.
Vanessa
Beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. The hosts, who look after the medieval hall next door, were really welcoming but also very respectful of privacy. There is loads of space inside and out and its fitted out with everything you need, including a hot tub. We were lent a fan during the heatwave which was very welcome. Loads of gorgeous beaches nearby as well as Eryri and Anglesea to explore. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Beautiful, well equipped cottage that's well maintained and was clean and tidy on our arrival. The owners are very friendly and helpful explaining where all the shops, beaches and supermarkets are located. Lovely quiet location and only a short drive to the beach and shops. The hot tub was fantastic as was everything about this cottage. We'll definitely be looking to stay here again.
Sharon
Stabla was a great place to stay, we had a lovely week there. Good sized accommodation which made for a relaxing stay. Enjoyed the hot tub.
The Stabla is lovely place and would like to go back and stay again. It was clean and tidy and everybody enjoyed it. My grandchildren loved the sauna, and it was in a lovely area of Wales .
The two of us had a really enjoyable and relaxing week with our dog. The house was beautiful full of character, very clean and wellequipped, with plenty of space to relax indoors and a lovely outdoor space. It is in a peaceful spot, but welllocated to explore both Llyn and Snowdonia. We also found lovely circular walks from the doorstep, one of which included a mile long stretch of the nearby beach. Our kingsized bed and the huge sofas were really comfortable. The owners have done everything they can to make the cottage a true home from home. They were very friendly and helpful, on hand if we needed anything, offering advice on places to go, but not intrusive. We rarely return to the exact same place, but we will go back to Stabla.
Vickie
We stayed here over Easter weekend and loved the property and surroundings. All the amenities are well kept, clean and practical and the quality was very good. Its in a very quiet location where its easy to relax and feels very secure. Beaches are nearby and we visited local attractions and cafes. The whole area was very friendly and parking was easy. Property and surrounding areas was good for all ages, would highly recommended.
Fabulous property that far exceeds expectations. a real wow factor as you walk through the door! Log burner was so cosy we had the best Christmas and had everything needed to cook a full Christmas dinner for us all owners were happy to lend us couple of things we forgot to bring. Hot tub was so relaxing maybe the one area that needs a little more added. Maybe a dry storage box for shoes, towels whilst in the tub. My old husky nearly 14 year loved the space and exploring the garden. She spent most of the week lying outside on the patio. We plan to return
Utterly stunning location, really high spec, beautiful old building. Great place for exploring beaches and surrounding areas. Would highly recommend!
Wonderful property in absolutely beautiful surroundings! Everything we needed for a very comfortable stay! The hot tub was wonderful when the sun was shining and the log burner was perfect for the chilly evenings! Great hosts who responded quickly to messages! Highly recommend!

The cottage was amazing Stunning location and views The cottage was perfect with everything could wish for The hottub and gardens were great for relaxing and in the evening the log fire adds to the cosy atmosphere of the living room area Definatly will be back
The most perfect stay! Spent a weekend here and it was absolutely perfect, we have not got a single complaint. The cottage was spotless and had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts were amazing and were on hand if you needed anything. Six of us stayed here and we all said we have never had a better nights sleep, the beds and pillows were the comfiest any of us have ever slept on! Could not recommend a better place to stay!
A lovely cottage in a lovely part of the world. The cottage provides all the facilities one requires. We were lucky with the weather and so were able to chill in the garden. I would definitely recommend for a group stay away.
This beautiful cottage is in the most peaceful location yet close to all the wonderful beaches and facilities the Llyn Peninsula has to offer. We had a wonderful 4day break there and the hosts Caren and Gwyn were incredibly helpful. It really is a delightful cottage and we are certain we will return.
Stabla was absolutely ideal for our stay in Chwilog. We were so very comfortable, and grateful to be able to stay in such a special place. We loved the historic nature of the property and the lovely serene setting. Nothing was lacking in 'our home'. The only problem was that we were only there for 3 nights! There is so much to explore in the area. We were torn as to whether to luxuriate in this fabulous home or do our requisite tourism visiting from Canada so so excited to see historic landmarks, Snowdonia.... Thankfully we were able to do both. I certainly hope I will come back someday, it was truly perfect. Thank you.
Nicole
Beautiful converted barn with everything that was needed. Clean and very comfy. Lovely log burner. Hot tub was great. Hosts were very friendly and had good recommendations for days out and where to eat etc. We had a really lovely time staying here with our family and dog.
We have had an excellent stay in Stabla for Easter and our daughters 20th birthday Everything had been thought of, home from home. Very clean and tidy. Hot tub was an excellent addition. Gwyn and Caran were excellent hosts, making recommendations of beaches and restaurants to visit. we will return. Thank you
Lovely spacious cottage in beautiful Welsh countryside. Great place for beach walks with the family and then coming back to warm up in the hot tub. Would really recommend a stay in this cottage.
Absolutely lovely! Like home from home, spotlessly clean, lovely hosts, great location, we will definitely recommend and be back ourselves thank you..
Having a downstairs bedroom was the the thing that clinched our booking. Our aging dog wouldve been stressed if wed have left him alone at night, but this way he could be in the kitchen with one of us nearby. Cozy but with plenty of room, spotlessly clean, all needs met, secure garden and great recommendations for places to visit. Loved it.
Jordan
We had a great stay and the owners of the lodge were very hospitable. So lovely and welcoming and were always available when needed. Cant thank them enough! Lodge was a great size and had everything we needed.
Jessica
Lovely house with everything we could need for our week stay. The hot tub was a great added extra and really made up for the weather. The host was very friendly and on hand. We loved our stay and we highly recommend this beautiful house.
Sian Nerys
Stabla is a lovely property in a quiet rural setting. Converted stable, tastefully renovated retaining original features. Next door there is a medieval hall and apparently the owners have acted as witnesses for elopement weddings
An excellent property in all aspects
Great stay in a comfortable house in great location. Access to fabulous towns and beaches with 30 minutes drive plus Snowden a little further away. A broom, dustpan and brush would have been good plus a few more toilet rolls, but these are minor quibbles I would recommend this house for a quiet and comfortable holiday.
Melanie
We had an amazing time! The house was bigger than we imagined. The hosts were brilliant! Kitchen was fully equipped, barbecue was great. The house was clean and had absolutely everything we needed. The children want to return immediately.
Had a fantastic stay at Stabla and what a place! Everything you could ever need is there, even had milk in the fridge, sweets for the kids and a lovely fruit cake waiting for us. The owners are amazing nothing was too much trouble. The cottage itself is beautiful, peaceful and quiet.
Kathleen
We were unnerved by the cameras. Kitchen equipment lacking ie blunt knives not many serving dishes no ice cube trays. BBQ totally unfi for purpose
A fantastic place to stay, Caring owners that will go 110 to support any requirements you have.
Richard
Fantastic place. Loved every minute. Very nice welcome and some treats in the kitchen. Sofas and fire a high point. Bigger than it looks and very clean and tidy. The WiFi whilst fairly quick was a bit up and down which seems to be because it's strung across from another building. I'd say it worked 70 of the time. I did manage to rig a hotspot so it wasn't the end of the world. It might also be a bonus for some
Beautiful cottage in a lovely quiet location. The log burner and the hot tub got a lot of use!
Joanne
It would be extra helpful to let people know that you need to provide your own ... It would be extra helpful to let people know that you need to provide your own lead for charging the car and also what speedrate you will charge at Perfect place and ideally located
Joanne
Stabla is the perfect, cosy holiday cottage. The owners could not have been more welcoming and we plan to return and stay again...despite living about 10 hours drive away. The cottage is beautiful and contained everything we needed. It was warm and cosy in October, despite being open plan. The hot tub was the cherry on the cake. The local area is stunning, with plenty of activities inside and out. We can highly recommend the Ty Coch Inn and beach on a sunny day and the Zip World Caverns on a rainy one.
A beautiful property, great location, quiet and peaceful and plenty of room outside to enjoy. The Owners were a delight friendly, helpful and scored points by showing us all the new puppies that had just arrived! I'd definitely book this place again, can't recommend highly enough.
