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.

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.

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.

Outstanding in every way! Would recommend without hesitation. Will definitely return when in the area. And, they have the best breakfast coffee we have enjoyed anywhere in the UK!

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.

Beautiful Setting. Great Hosts

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.
Laura, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wonderful situation. Hard working staff
Margaret, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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).
Ruth, 2-night trip

Try it and be convinced.

Bit difficult to find the entrance, but trust the the sat navigation! Excellent hotel, limited meals, but super excellent what is on offer. Staff nice and efficient service. Decor and rooms clean and modern, site photos dont do it justice. Try it and be convinced.
G, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Tried to cancel or change booking with Expedia and hotel as we hadn’t realised they weren’t dog friendly until we arrived but with no success. Ended up paying for 2 hotels for the night!!!
Timothy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Annette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
