Bought from the Chapel almost 20 years ago as a home,
Hendre has been a Guest House for almost 12 years.
Our guests are very important to us and we consider your
accommodation an important part of your holiday. We hope
we provide all the little luxuries you would expect to
have at a more expensive establishment.
We cater for the individual and can cater for special
diets. We will be happy to send a sample menu along with
a brochure.
Our guests return year after year and have since become
friends.
Hendre is a very well run establishment and the emphasis
are on quality and personal attention which is considered
by the guest as being something very special. A Full Welsh
breakfast from 6.45 am is included in the pric.
A brief History
Towards the end of the 18th Century, that is about 1777,
a man called Richard Jones, of Aberffraw some 15 miles
away, enraged the churchmen of the village by listening
to the preaching of an itinerant evangelist preacher,
and by showing respect to the Word of God by doffing
his hat. For this he was sorely persecuted and virtually
driven from his home. It is said that he held his staff
vertical and let is fall to the ground, deciding to travel
away in whatever direction that his staff pointed. The
staff, it is said, pointed in the direction of Holyhead,
and thither he went, with is wife, family and chattles
on a cart. When he arrived at Holyhead at nightfall,
he did not get a very good reception, and could not find
a place "to lay down his head". But it is said
that "an old sinner" took pity on him and offered
him an old house to rent.
It was there that the Methodist cause is said to have
begun at Holyhead, and the people gathered at his home.
