Very clean and quiet place to stay and very close to the village of Beddgelert. The woman doing the orders for breakfasts, clearing and serving breakfasts and doing reception in the morning was particularly friendly and worked tirelessly on her own to make sure everything was okay for us. The shower/bath wasnt particularly powerful but fine (maybe just a shower in the room would be better) and there was confusion at first with the room brochure saying pay extra for a cooked breakfast and then us being told it was included. For the price, just include a cooked breakfast to make it clear. Overall, lovely place to stay with fabulous walks and village on the doorstep.

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

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.

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.

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.
