“Great Hosts, Great Location,”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 29, 2012

I thought I had written a review as I stayed here in June when a friend and I were running in the Trail Marathon Wales. The location is wonderful in a tiny little village and we were welcomed by Heulwen and Andy with a warm smile and a pot of tea.

Great hosts, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfasts were a feast in themselves and the view from the room wonderful.

Coed Y Brenin is nearby so handy for MTB'ers walkers or anyone going to visit Go Ape. Barmouth with its sandy beaches is only 20 minutes away so you really are in a great location.

Will be staying there in 2013 providing it's not already booked up!

“The absolute best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 12, 2012

Heulwen and Andy are truly the most wonderful hosts making us feel warmly welcomed, nothing was too much trouble. Luxurious house, stunning views, fresh, home-cooked and delicious food what more could anyone ask for? This is our third visit, bringing with us this time, our daughter, son in law and two young grand children.

“Heulwen Guest House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 9, 2012

What a find ! More than home from home coupled with a wonderful freshly cooked breakfast (the sausages were divine !). Highly recommend to the weary traveller in need of a good rest in beautiful and quiet surroundings, close to a town and walking and other facilities. Evening meals are available by arrangement too.

Room Tip: We had the 'deluxe' - ground floor level, so easy access for disabled clients. But all roo...

“Heavenly B & B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 4, 2012

Dollgellau Tourist Information sent us here when our pre-booked B & B let us down (had gone away)!. Heulwen was heavenly - we really felt we had fallen on our feet. the view was fantastic from the garden and we then found we had the same view from our room which had double doors out onto the lovely garden. It was very peaceful with views of Cadir Idris in the distance and the sound of the stream in the field below the house. Everything was absolutely spotless and the breakfast was great. Heulwen is also the name of the hostess and she was a ray of sunshine. We would definitely stay there again and hopefully for longer next time.

Room Tip: If not pre-booked anywhere visit the nearest Tourist Information Office. They have vetted, inspected...

“Great place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 26, 2012

We have just returned from a 2 night stay here and Heulwen & Andy could not have made us feel more welcome. Friendly and attentive without being too intrusive, all our needs where catered for. A very charming b&b in an idylic setting in the hillside. Our room was ensuite and large enough for a small 2 seater sofa in front of the tv, very comfortable bed and the sheets smelt divine. Our veggie breakfast was scrummy and plenty of it.
we stayed due to its location for the trail race in coed y brenin which in itself was well worth a visit and only 5mins in the car.
Thankyou for making our stay relaxed and welcoming. Tricia & Paul
