Afon Gwyn Country House

We spent 5 days at Afon Gwyn. We loved our stay. The hosts were kind and friendly and welcoming. They took great pride in running the establishment and were keen to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. The breakfast was superb. Plentiful, fresh and wonderful coffee.

We arrived quite late on a Friday evening, having travelled from London after work. Gareth had kept in touch with us prior to our arrival, assuring us our arrival time would be ok. We were warmly welcomed by him on arrival and he took time to guide us through everything we needed to know. Our room (Rupert) was wonderful; spotlessly clean, with everything we could have needed, plus more. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding of excellent quality - we slept so well. There was a nice selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits and drinking water left for us, which was very welcomed after our long journey. The breakfast options were superb - so much choice and everything we tried was perfectly cooked. Rana is an amazing chef. My favourite was the Eggs Benedict - the eggs were perfectly poached and the hollandaise sauce delicious. The homemade yoghurt was one of our favourite items also, topped with some of the delicious freshly-prepared fruits and granola. The location of this property was perfect -we were visiting with the aim of climbing Snowdon on the Saturday and finding other things to do on the Sunday -we were spoiled for choice as there is so much to do in Snowdonia. We ended up wandering around the village of Betws-y-Coed on Sunday morning, visiting Swallow Falls and then visiting a mine. Gareth was helpful with suggestions of places to visit and there was also a good selection of leaflets available at the property for ideas. Thank you!

Excellent location, clean room, delicious breakfast, lovely owners.

My son and I stayed at Afon Gwyn late August for 3 nights with the intention of climbing Snowdon and to visit other local attractions. The hosts Gareth and Rana were lovely from start to finish. I really enjoyed chatting with both of them about all sorts of things and they were so helpful throughout our stay. I remember Gareth saying ‘we are a bed and breakfast and it is essential we get those two things right’ and they certainly did. The breakfast is without doubt amazing. The full English clearly has everything clearly sourced from quality local providers and I recall my 21 year old son saying ‘I wish I could have breakfast like this everyday dad’. Then there’s the beds. We stayed in the Robinson room and Gareth kindly arranged for the twin beds to be ready and made up before our arrival. Both my son and I slept very well every night and were ready for the day ahead. Gareth and Rana take great pride and passion into doing everything they can to ensure your stay is a memorable one for all the right reasons and would stay there again without question if travelling to Snowdonia. I look forward to having seeing you guys again one day and this time if Rana’s lucky she might get Adam to do some washing up in the kitchen, hehe. Thank you both of you.
