Lovely Stay.

Myself and my girlfriend stayed for one night and had a lovely stay at Ty Afon. The house was in a fantastic location in Beddgelert and was around a 3 minute walk to the village shops and pubs. It provided a good base for getting about with plenty of local walks. The staff were helpful and breakfast was nice, the only recommendation I would make is for more selection with the continental option. Overall a lovely Autumnal stay and would stay here again.

Beautiful setting. Great hosts. Wonderful hotel dog. Comfortable room. Delicious breakfast whether we choose the included continental or the optional menu order. Mountains all around, river flowing close by with nice path for our evening walk. Village close by for dinner options. Easy drive for hiking from the passes and sightseeing in Caernarfon and Conwy and points between and around.

Great stay

Stayed as we have family in the village. Never stayed before but we would return. Continental breakfast included, great choice porridge, toast fruit & yoghurt with option to pay for cooked but we were happy with continental. Room clean and adequate for our stay , toiletries provided, plenty of parking. A little out of oyr usual budget as its a visit to family but was a last minute booking & it did feel like a treat break.

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).
