We travelled with our adult son to hike in the nearby Eryri National Park. The owner greeted us upon arrival and very thoughtfully upgraded our rooms! Lola, the dog, was so friendly and extremely well behaved. The place is beautifully and freshly decorated. The two bedrooms we saw were unique, comfortable and well equipped. The evening after our hike we had a beer in the bar which was newly opened. Breakfast is a lovely - a continental buffet and choice of hot entrees including a half Welsh breakfast - a very welcome option. The setting is beautiful and lush, at the end of a small drive near the centre of the most picturesque village I've ever been to. We were delighted with our experience at Ty Afon and with the hospitality and charm of the owner and his staff.

We just adored staying here. The place was spotlessly cleaned, comfortable and bigger than expected. It was quiet and private and so peaceful for the soul. It’s beautiful and the outdoor terrace is lovely after a hike. There are no fridges in the rooms but there’s a fridge in the lounge that you can keep a bottle of wine or a couple of beers in for the afternoon. Staff was so friendly and helpful and location to Beddgelert could not have been any more perfect. Wifi was excellent breakfast was sufficient. We didn’t order hot food as continental was more than enough for us. We will absolutely come straight back here. A

Nice, but rather anonymous and needs to try harder
A nice long cation in Beddgelert. Decent views from the windows we had access to. Checked in by a very friendly eastern European lady, informative and helpful Room clean and tidy, though furniture a little dated, though I think it's recently changed hands. Cooked breakfast is an extra charge of £9.50 though a buffet breakfast is available at no extra cost. This extra isn't overly clear when booking IMHO. Help yourself water and cake and biscuits in the dining room all hours. Never met the owners/managers. Might have been booked out by one of them but was never introduced so can't say Noisy plumbing. Very noisy to the point of annoying. Some internal walls paper thin. Could hear occupants talking in the next room very easily. Good location. Easy parking and easy to find. Quiet location with walking routes on the doorstep. Shower was weat at best. Decent enough place, but for the nightly rates I'd expect more of a welcome, better in-room acoustic comfort better plumbing and the option of a proper breakfast.

Loved the location, stunning views, river nearby for walking along and for swimming. The staff were very friendly and helpful. For the price I would have expected at least a fan in the room, lighter cover for the bed, available ice (to be fair, we were there on the (unprecedented) hottest day of the year) and cooked breakfast (which was extra cost).
