Afon Gwyn Country House

Gareth and Rana were amazing hosts, showing genuine care for their guests.

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!

This is a perfect spot to stay if you come by car and want to explore the Snowdonia National Park. Rana and Gareth are the most personal and service minded hosts you can ever wish for keeping the room tidy and even equipping it with whatever extra things you might need. We got a room with a door to the back garden with birds singing outside. Rana makes the most delicious breakfast servings of everything from salmon and scrambled eggs to plentiful settings of waffles with fresh fruit and tasty toppings. Gareth will suggest, and also help you book, nearby restaurants, give you a weather forecast and any hike advice you might need. We already plan for our next visit. You will also want to come back after your first visit ✨
