Guestbook for Hebog Bach
Just to let you know that we have had a wonderful time at Hebog Bach. The property is gorgeous and everything that we could have wanted. I never thought of work once! We all feel so relaxed. Viv was wonderful and most welcoming and the welcome bread and bacon were divine - she had even boiled us the kettle for a nice cup of tea. The property was pristine in every way. The sheep and lambs around the property made the children's day!
It was an amazing vacation!!.. and so much is thanks to the beautiful Cottage.
We expect it to be something great, as you said, but it was even greater- the surrounding (sheep), views (sea) and indoor (living room!)- Just perfect!.
We all had the best time and didn't want to leave.
We have loved everything. The furniture, the linen, the decor, the lighting and the excellent quality of fixtures and fittings. They have all been truly appreciated. We have had a wonderful holiday and are very sad to be going. Already looking at your availability for our next visit.
Jjust arrived back from our week at Hebog Bach and we felt the need to e-mail you. We had a fantastic week and we just had to let you know that the cottage was the best one we have ever stayed at and we have been booking cottages for the last 12 years! Every thing had been carefully thought about and the attention to
detail was superb. The kitchen was so well equipped, everything you could possibly need. We were quite sad to be coming home today, could quite easily have stayed on :-) but we will be back again in the future as we feel that we have found a little gem in 'Hebog Bach'!
What an utterly fantastic cottage. You might have to force us to leave!!!
We had a lovely time thanks! We found the cottage very comfortable, luxurious and romantic. The attention spent on every detail and the general quality of everything in the cottage made it feel very special (from the under floor heating to the artwork on the walls, from the books on the shelf to the kitchen utensils....everything really!!). And its a great location for getting away from everything and exploring Snowdonia/North Wales.
I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Hebog Bach. The house is just perfect and certainly the most comfortable cottage that we have ever stayed in. Viv is a real asset and made us feel very welcome without ever being intrusive. We would love to book again and will be in touch. CC
We have just returned from a relaxing stay at your lovely cottage and am pleased to say we found everything to be just perfect. It was a home from home. Furnishings and equipment were all of a high standard and the flowers, wine and welcome food essentials were just right!
