Guest Reviews
- Philipp (10/5): - Gina und Gareth waren zwei super zuvorkommende uns tolle Gastgeber. Wir haben jeden Morhen ein liebevoll angerichtetes Frühstück und auch noch Tipps für unser Tagesprogramm bekommen. Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Wir wären gerne noch länger geblieben! Absolute Empfehlung: Die Tea Time am Nachmittag.
- cathi (10/5): -
- Marcel (10/5): Eine wunderbare Unterkunft, die zum Verweilen einlädt - Wunderbare Gastgeber. Ein herrliches, mit viel Liebe eingerichtetes Haus und einen wunderbaren Park ums Haus. Leckeres Frühstück mit einer grossen Auswahlkarte. Das Abendessen, dass an bestimmten Tagen angeboten wird, war ebenfalls sehr lecker.
- MrsB (10/5): - Tranquil, Beautiful house attention to detail, Owners were very kind. Gardens and wildlife great for bird watchers like myself, Breakfast was exceptional using local produce! I would recommend this House and plan to return. Thank you both for your hospitality 🏴
- Katy (10/5): Our stay at this beautiful country house was simply fantastic. Gina and Gareth are a pleasure to be hosted by, always wi - Literally everything! Not a bad word to say. Nothing
- Simon (10/5): -
- toby (10/5): Another amazing stay!!! - We have stayed here before and have been dying to come back and honestly it was just as brilliant as what we remembered. Gina and Gareth are by far the most heart warming and welcoming hosts we have ever met, and really do make an effort to make you feel at home in thier beautiful place. We will definitely be coming back as this is becoming our yearly treat of a getaway. 100/10 couldn't ask for more and most definitely cant fault anything. :) thank you again for another wonderful stay Nothing!
- LEISA (10/5): exceptional - It was charming and beautiful
- JACQUELINE (10/5): Lovely relaxing break - Everything! Lovely hosts, superb breakfast and spotlessly clean. Nothing

- Basil (10/5): Would love to stay again. - What an amazing place, super owners that made us feel very much at home. Excellent breakfast and the evening meal was superb. Very comfortable room. Nothing
- Heidy (10/5): Great place to stay with wonderful hosts! - The property is located in a garden with its own stream and waterfall. We booked a superior king room, which was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. The bed is very comfortable and the overall atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. The owners are very friendly, they check in with you regularly and provide tips for things to see and do. Highly recommended if you're planning to visit Snowdonia!
- Andrew (9/5): Wonderful place, great setting, very hospitable owners. - Breakfast was good , plenty of choice for hot dishes. Although both brown and white bread were available for toast , as keen bakers we would have preferred a wider range of breads. The evening meals were good , but perhaps we were expecting too much when they were described as "candlelit" , it prompted thoughts of a romantic atmosphere under the flickering light, the reality was a candle on the table and full electric lighting in the room. As above
- Inge (10/5): - De eigenaren zijn super aardige mensen. Helpen je graag. De tuin is erg mooi en rustig om te genieten van een drankje. niets
- Sonya (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Gareth and Gina were great-they provided a great breakfast every morning- with vegan and GF options available. They were very knowledgeable about the area and just so friendly . The house is a few miles from anywhere and we benefited from amazing starry nights during our stay. Nothing to dislike about this beautiful place.
- Liliana (10/5): - Great location! The owners are amazing, very welcoming and helpful! Lovely room and delicious breakfast. Thank you Gina and Gareth!!xx
- maureen (10/5): - Beautiful inn with delicious food cooked on site. Gina and Garreth were very welcoming and very helpful. The property is beautiful - we enjoyed the walk by the stream. There are so many beautiful and thoughtful touches, you can tell that Gina and Garreth put their heart into making this a special stay. Leaving!
- Kirsten (10/5): - Hosts were so friendly, gave us recommendations daily and were generally just lovely people - felt like we were staying with family. Delicious breakfast, easy parking and fast wifi. Highly recommend to everyone! Everything was fantastic! No issues ☺️
- Steph (10/5): - Lovely people, lovely place, lovely food.
- Xiaoyu (9/5): -
- sarah (10/5): -
- Jan Bruun (10/5): Dejligt ophold - Dejlig morgenmad, meget at vælge imellem. Der var ikke noget vi ikke kunne lide.
- Kevin (10/5): Gareth and Gina made us feel special and felt totally relaxed and comfortable at their wonderful hom - The welcome was warm,perfect hosts.Breakfast excellent, rooms comfortable and luxurious.The grounds were tranquil and accessible,teeming with trees and birds. It's a quiet location but not too far from town. Absolutely nothing!
- Xiaoyu (9/5): A great getaway, escaping from the city. - 房东非常热情，房间装饰很温馨，床品很舒服。早餐也不错。地理位置就在国家公园里，适合徒步。
- Kieley (8/5): Beautiful surroundings. - Stayed here for a walk at snowdon. It was about an hours drive away but straight forward drive. Lovely venue in beautiful location, with pretty surroundings and walks. Great breakfast included with local good quality produce. Pillows- but understand this is personal preference
- Catherine (10/5): Will go out of our way to stay there again-highly recommend! - breakfast was great- set us up for the day! Location was fabulous and quiet. Most of all the couple that run it do an amazing job! Super location for exploring the area!
- Michaela (10/5): -
- m_nie (10/5): -
- Julian (10/5): We had a welcoming relaxing stay. - Great welcome hosts friendly and helpful. Excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed. Supplied everything you could need.
- david (10/5): - Fabulous hosts and really accommodating. Our day didn’t go exactly to plan and they were more than happy to delay our dinner a little bit. Cream tea on arrival was lovely. The packed lunch made for us to take up Snowdon was just what we needed and the dinner on our return (although we were 20-30 minutes late) went down well. After climbing a mountain, the bed was so comfortable and we slept so well. We will definitely be going back.
- Gillian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Shivani (8/5): - We had a lovely stay for my Dad’s birthday. Gina and her husband were so kind and welcoming. The place itself is cute and quaint although quite far from main areas or things to do. The surrounding gardens are lovely. The only gripe we had was that it wasn’t as clean as we hoped. Not to say it was dirty, but just not as clean as we’re used to. The sheets were musty but Gina kindly changed them after our first night when we mentioned it to her. Even the new sheets had a strong odour and my parents room had the same issue. Our room had a jet bath tub which we couldn’t use as the jets hadn’t been cleaned out and all sorts of bugs and spiders kept crawling up the drain and jets and into the bath. The bathroom also generally wasn’t completely clean. Luckily we could use the shower in the other rooms we had booked. To be fair, we didn’t mention the bathroom issues to the hosts. Overall the issues with the rooms didn’t ruin the stay as Gina and her husband were so welcoming and Wales itself was beautiful.
- Vincent (9/5): Authentic Welsh Country House with nice hosts! - Great stay, fantastic hosts, delicious breakfast nothing
- Debbie (10/5): We would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to return soon. - Breakfast was delicious. The grounds are stunning. Dinner was lovely and we appreciated that everything was locally sourced. Gina and Gareth are fabulous hosts and so knowledgeable about the area. Nothing was too much trouble.
- Steven (9/5): Superb -
- Richard (9/5): Beautiful house in beautiful location - Hosts were lovely, the house gorgeous and spotless, the location excellent as only 5 minutes drive from Dolgellau and the breakfasts were very good. Garden room was compact, though fine for a couple of nights, comfortable with a great shower room and most importantly very clean. It also had a nice little patio to watch the birds in the trees and on the feeders. Only minor points such as, I couldn't see any soya milk or sprinkling sweetener for cereals, and as others have said the exit onto the main road can be hairy and isn't helped by a large pot hole at the driveway entrance.
- Paula (10/5): Lovely hotel and lovely people - Beautiful place
- David (10/5): lovely place, great breakfast - great location going home
- Howe (10/5): We would love to return! - Breakfast was delicious, i had my favourite scrambled eggs and smoked salmon on both mornings. My husband enjoyed his full welsh breakfast. We had the garden room which was beautiful with it own outside seating area. The garden was amazing! Best of all were our hosts, so attentive and they made our stay special.
- Kirthika (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- Basirat (10/5): Gina and Gareth Made Our Stay Unforgettable - We had a fantastic stay at this property! Gina and Gareth are truly amazing hosts. We visited North Wales to climb Snowdon and celebrate my husband’s birthday, and they went above and beyond to make it special—decorating our room with a birthday banner and balloons was such a lovely surprise. After a long day hiking, coming back to a delicious, home-cooked, top-quality dinner was exactly what we needed. Breakfast was also excellent, with all our dietary requirements catered for with care. We honestly can’t recommend this place enough for anyone looking for a relaxed, welcoming, and memorable getaway. There's nothing not to like
- Michael (10/5): Lovely relaxing and peaceful stay. - The choice at breakfast was excellent, the room was lovely and the hosts Gina and Gareth were so friendly and welcoming.
- Lucy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Colin (10/5): Gina & Gareth are a delightful couple very professional with high standards,both exude charm - Breakfast was excellent quality and timly smooth service, always with a smile n/a
- Richard (8/5): superb hosts and location - superb location and food quality, maybe a little more quantity. space in room, no chairs, space was used to its maximum
- D (10/5): Truly wonderful! A place apart. - Location of a garden oasis in the forest is outstanding. Warmest of welcomes, with personalised welcome note on the room door. Our compact room was clean, cosy and quiet - only the forest noises to be heard at night. Candlelit dinner should be compulsory! Breakfasts and packed lunches wonderful. Secluded, private parking available. Owners actively looked to meet our every need. Thank-you!
- Seray (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect – the cleanliness of the room, the breakfast was amazing. We had a wonderful two days in nature. We definitely want to come back again. Nothing.
- Linda (10/5): excellent - very welcoming host gorgeous property leaving
- Georgia (9/5): Superb -
- Victoria (10/5): Incredible place, beautiful owners, perfect - It was perfect Gina and Gareth made us feel so welcome and went above and beyond for our stay. Our room was stunning and so comfortable and they even put a little anniversary banner and balloons up on arrival, The ground were stunning, their suggestions of where to go, see, how to get to places were so helpful. The food was beautiful, so fresh ,we definitely recommend the evening dining too. Gina's puddings are some of the best we have ever tasted. We definitely would stay again if we come back up this way. We would give 20 stars if could xxx
- Martin (10/5): BEST B&B - Every thing about the house was perfect. The hosts were great and the food first class. Will be going back again in the near future. GREAT PLACE. NOTHING.
- Kevin (9/5): Everything about this place: staff, location, levels of comfort is superb! -
- Helene (10/5): Exceptional - Quiet location and lovely room. Great breakfast. Nothing
- David (10/5): Exceptional - What an awesome place to stay, the house and ou room was lovely, the gardens are stunning and peaceful. Gareth and Gina were exceptional hosts, nothing was too much trouble, so warm and friendly and full of knowledge about the area, with perfect suggestions on thongs to do. Breakfast was tasty, eggs cooked to perfection 👌, we had an evening meal in on the Saturday which was delicious with dessert scoring a 10!! Cannot wait to be able to return for longer,l. Having to leave 😮💨
- Tom (9/5): Superb - Great breakfast, comfortable stay and friendly welcome as ever. Thanks for having us!
- Toby (10/5): Absolutely flawless! - Honestly everything, every interaction was amazing even before we arrived. Gina and Gareth were both incredibly friendly and helpful and even helped me plan and set up a little anniversary suprise for my partner. The property itself was stunning, the room was large with one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in, beautifully decorated and the spa bath was lovely. Aswell as the rooms being beautifully decorated so was the entier place with a great mix of modern and vintage decorations, i especially loved the flower chandelier that was in the room where we ate afternoon tea. Gareth was the one to initially great me and my partner and he instantly made us feel welcome and relaxed and then we met Gina of the morning who was also incredibly welcoming, easy to talk to and very helpful when asked about what to do in the area. The surrounding garden area was incredible and well kept, parking was easy and close to the entrance of the property and breakfast was brilliant! There was around 10 different options for breakfast which is more than enough, me and my partner tried a decent range between the 2 of us and we thoroughly enjoyed each and every item we tried, portions were good keeping us full for a good amount of time and it all tasted fresh! Whilst here we also decided to treat ourselves to the afternoon tea, and it was the best afternoon tea we have ever had, the sandwiches were lovely and surprisingly filling, the cakes were baked perfectly, and oh my gosh the scones were phenomenal, my partner has non stop talked about how good the scones were and how the scones themselves were enough to make her want to come back here haha. Normally after a few nights away, although it is a nice treat, we are glad to be going home to sleep in our own bed, however I think this is the first holiday were we genuinely didn't want to go home, and if it wasn't for my partners work we 100% wouldn't asked to stay another night or 2 if possible! not a single thing I'd change!
- Thea (10/5): Great hosts, wonderful room and delicious breakfast. -
- Caroline (10/5): Luxurious bed and breakfast in lovely surroundings. - Friendly welcome ,very comfortable room and bed . Lovely meal and good breakfasts . Nothing I can think of .
- Andrew (9/5): We had a lovely couple of nights at the property. The hosts very friendly and the breakfast was first class. - Lovely location in middle of Forrest , some great walks nearby.
- Stephen (10/5): A quiet, countryside gem. Gina and Gareth were excellent hosts. - Beautiful location. Good food. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Excellent hosts Exiting onto the road is a little nerve-testing.
- Pat (10/5): The house is very beautiful and set in the most stunning setting, it was idyllic. - There was a wide choice of breakfast to suit everyone, the food was exceptionally good nothing, everything was perfect made perfect by Gina and Gareth
- David (10/5): Exceptional -
- Renton (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stephen (10/5): My husband, myself, and our dear friends were enchanted by this fine Inn - My husband, myself, and our dear friends who joined us on this trip to Wales were enchanted by this lovely "cottage" in the woods! Welcomed by Gina and Gareth , we enjoyed a wonderful dinner, joyfully served by the effervescent Gareth. Our room was wonderfully appointed, modern and charming. We especially appreciated the delicious local shortbread cookies for our evening snack. Our stay was ( sadly) short, but we did have time for a Welsh breakfast, and a walk around the lush grounds to see the beautiful trees, plants and creek. Thank you both for your preservation and care of this lovely building and your guests.!
- Linda (9/5): Very enjoyable stay - The location of our room around the back of the property had a fantastic bird feeding station with so many beautiful birds to watch Nothing
- Julie (10/5): enjoyable tranquil stay with the most lovely hosts. - the house was lovely and Gina and Gareth the most welcoming hosts. The house was very comfortable, both the room and bathroom were clean and had everything you needed. We had a good choice for breakfast and it was very good . it was difficult to walk to anywhere from the house but we knew that when we booked and wasn't a problem for us. The upside of that is having the tranquil setting and gardens and there were so many different birds visiting the bird feeder which we loved to watch.
- Tom (10/5): - Excellent place to stay, rooms are absolutely perfect and spotless. Host is as good as all the reviews state. I will definitely return.
- Sallahu (10/5): Amazing - Gina and Gareth are amazing hosts, the food was so tasty, the location is great, set in Snowdonia. The property is surrounded with nature everywhere you look, could not have asked for more. Can't wait to return!
- Jennifer (10/5): Idyllic getaway if you want peace and quiet. - The location was perfect. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and set in stunning grounds. Couldn’t have asked for a better location. Nothing. For me it was just perfect. From the wonderful owners to the room to the birds on the feeders right outside our door….it was perfect.
- Sameer (10/5): Serene, Sensational, Superb. - Genuinely, staying at this place was an absolute highlight of our mini-moon. The grounds were absolutely spectacular - We had just one day of rain and the house is so cozy and beautiful that it. makes those rain days extremely comforting. It was all absolutely amazing in my opinion! However, one thing, I would add, if I was being pedantic, is perhaps giving the same kind of slip for dinner as they do for breakfast. Although, there are some nice pubs around the area!
- Karen (10/5): Fantastic stay , well looked after , wonderful breakfasts, candle lit dinner and afternoon tea - Beautiful house in the Welsh countryside Nothing
- Lisa (10/5): 100% recommend Afon Rhaiadr! - The location was gorgeous. We stayed in one of the garden rooms with views of the bird feeders. The hosts were so welcoming.
- Remigiusz (10/5): Amazing place - Gina and Gateth are very hospitable and friendly people. It feels more like visiting friends than just staying at b&b. Place has amazing relaxing atmosphe,it's well loked after and designed. Lovely dining room,good selection of breakfast,served quickly. It's possible to make requests,gluten free and vegetariqn options available. Wonderful place to relax. I don't think it's possible to dislike anything there.
- John (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed staying at this property. The hosts have got it right on all respects. We were in the Jasmine room and enjoyed the small private garden.
- Alex (10/5): Lovely surroundings, outstanding and knowledgeable hosts - The hosts are lovely, warm people. The house is beautiful, especially the grounds. The breakfast choices were plenty and we always started the day well fed. Unfortunately, in the summer, the bathroom was difficult to get totally aired out, so towels often stayed damp. There’s nothing that can be done- just an observation!
- Ellen (10/5): Amazing place… - - Very comfortable. - Nice hosts, went above and beyond. - Really good WiFi. Nothing, all good!
- Linda (10/5): A special little gem - Everything. Gina and Gareth were great hosts, the room was very comfortable and the food was delicious. Nothing
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Janice (10/5): I'd highly recommend this lovely B&B in a beautiful part of Wales - The warm welcome we received. A lovely room tucked away in the garden that was very peaceful. Great decor and amenities in the room. The fresh, homecooked breakfast was delicious. The communication was very helpful and we greatly appreciated accommodating our changes in arrival time. Can't think of anything. Everything was what we hoped for and couldn't find any fault.
- Janet (10/5): We had a great relaxing stay and the hosts were amazing looking forward to going back - It was a lovely location and Gina and Garth were very accommodating We liked the property
- Thomas (10/5): - Had a really lovely warm welcome and throughout the stay from Gina and Gareth, the bed we stayed in was quite literally the comfiest ever and Gina was even so kind as to tell us where she got it so we could copy! Beautiful location, surrounded by woodland and easy to get into Dolgellau. The hotel itself is really peaceful and calming which is only made even better by the lovely hosts. Thank you both! Tom

- Denise (10/5): Simply incredible! - The hosts Gareth and Gina are two of the most amazing people we have met! We were made to feel so welcome from the minute we arrived till the moment we left. There is alot to be said about South African hospitality! Our room was comfortable, clean and had a wonderful view of the bird feeding station and we could hear the waterfall all day and night. Breakfast was delicious and a good portion size to see you through till lunch / dinner. The afternoon tea - just as delicious and served in a beautiful setting. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the grounds and exploring the gardens. A delightful place if you need serious down time and rest and relaxation. Both Gareth and Gina are knowledgeable on the area and can always recommend places to see, things to do, and good places to eat. Honestly, there was nothing that we didn't like, except that we had to leave.

- Ros (10/5): A truly beautiful and amazing place to stay and I recommend you visit. - The property is excellently maintained and is a beautiful old house. Our hosts, Gina and Gareth were, well what can I say apart from congenial, friendly, helpful, courteous, loved a chat and a laugh. Gina went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home. The breakfast choices were amazing and meant we didn’t need lunch. We had dinner on the Saturday night and the food was delicious. They are both great cooks! My arthritic knees and hips didn’t like the stairs but that was a minor issue.
- Birari (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. We loved staying at Afon Rhaiadr. The location, the hospitality, the food was splendid. Gina and Gareth were fantastic hosts and we appreciated their meticulous attention to detail in the facilities, the decor and the food. We will miss their chicken curry and Malva pudding till our next trip. Strongly recommend Afon Rhaiadr to anyone planning a trip to Snowdonia. Absolutely nothing.
