My partner and I had a wonderful stay at the property over Easter. Margaret, the host, was exceptional. She greeted us warmly, even adding a personal touch with some Easter eggs on our table. Margaret ensured we felt at home throughout our stay and provided helpful information about local regulations. Thank you to Margaret and the team for a great experience. Emmah!

Lovely place to stay.
The property is lovely, very picturesque and well maintained. It’s a little bit remote from any local amenities but it’s not a problem if you’re up for a decent walk or you’re happy to drive. The owners are super friendly, and really go out of their way to make you feel at home.

Couldn’t recommend the b&b more. Margaret really was the kindest, most informative and warming host. The room was as you pictured. Although not to everyone’s taste, the rooms were very clean. The breakfast was great, she even had veggie sausages! If I was to come back to snowdonia I wouldn’t think twice to stay again. Thank you for a great weekend :)

Hi Georgia. Delighted your weekend worked out so well - and you tolerated our quaint old farmhouse!!I didn't envy you leaving in the middle of the night to walk up the mountain but so pleased you made it to the top - and down again. Hope you will find yourself back in Snowdonia again one day and we will look forward to your return visit. All the best.

Wonderful stay
An absolute wonderful stay. Made to feel so very welcome. The room was very clean and extremely comfortable with all the facilities you could hope for. Margaret went above and beyond to make me feel very welcome giving me addresses for local restaurants etc Breakfast was top notch freshly cooked good quality produce. A real treat was that Margaret and Penny got the railway running for me in the garden. I cannot fault the experience . If you wanted to learn how to run a guest house. . Visit the Old Mill Farmhouse and that’s how it should be done Lovely friendly people, clean and comfortable room, off road parking and a wonderful breakfast all at a value for money price point If they will have me , I will be going back for sure

We stayed in The converted Stables room, which was very clean and well presented, bit small but that was fine. The bed was uncomfortable, could do with updating. TV didn't work but again, no worries. The hosts were delightful and the breakfast was basic but plentiful for the cost. The panoramic views were breathtaking.

Thank you, Peter, for your review and your comments. We're sorry we didn't tick all the boxes this time. We are currently refurbishing and renewing and the beds are on the list. We have made a point of explaining clearly on our website that the rooms in the Stables are smaller and therefore cheaper. Sometimes the relevant information doesn't appear online which is unfortunate, but it's out of our control.Did you check to see if the TV was plugged in? We had a terrible storm and had to unplug them all. I'm sorry if it was still unplugged and I don't remember anyone reporting that their TV didn't work. Had we known, we could have sorted it.But we're pleased you enjoyed our magnificent views!

Lovely old farmhouse, converted stables into rooms, decorated in different colours. Nice and cosy, and bit on the small size, and the mattress/pillows not comfortable, needed replacing. Nice and clean. Breakfast was reasonable for cost. Hosts are lovely ladies. Views are spectacular!

Thank you for your review. We are currently refurbishing in a number of areas and the beds are on the list but we're sorry you weren't comfortable this time. Yes, as we clearly explain on our website, the rooms in the stable block are small, and that's why they're cheaper. Unfortunately, that's something we can't do anything about.
