Great location. Greeted well and shown to the room. Place is relaxing and set in a great spot with loads of places to walk. Village is small but has enough places to eat and drink. Service levels at the hotel were great.

Gorgeous spot!

Highly recommend this adorable little hotel. It was in a beautiful location, with mountain views and just a quick walk into the village. Close to lots of great hiking, and offered a delicious breakfast every day.

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.

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.

This is a lovely, independently run guest house, beautiful interior design and quite recently renovated. The food was fantastic, as was the friendly staff. The bed was comfortable and we had a beautiful view of the lush green hills and mountains of North Wales. There's an elegant dining room for breakfast and a small, cosy bar. The only thing we didn't really like was the limited dining options in Beddgelert. If the Ty Afon started a little restaurant with the same excellent food and service at breakfast then I'm sure it'd be a hit.
