We haven't visited Meirion Mill in years, the last time we were here the cafe was located in the house by the entrance; now it is at the back, after a walk through the shop. Not sure if the mill is still in action, but they did stock some beautiful Welsh tweed blankets and rugs, love spoons, quality leather goods and all the usual souvenirs, housewares etc. Th cafe was quiet, indoor seating and sofas plus outdoor seating in an enclosed area at the rear, with picnic benches. There are simple lunches for sale - baked potatoes, sandwiches etc; coffee and other hot drinks and a range of cakes. We each had coffee and cake; despite being individually wrapped in cling film (presumably to comply with covid restrictions), we found the cakes a little dry. A good alternative to a fast food outlet when on a long journey (not that fast food outlets abound in rural Wales!)

I thought this would be more of a operational mill/museum it wasn't. That said it was a nice shop with a coffee shop too. Worth a visit if you are looking for a shopping experience.

Sadly fabric isn't woven here anymore, and the café isn't atmospheric as the old station house was, but the cake was very good (almond and praline), the staff friendly, and Welsh speaking, and a vast range of gifts, outdoor clothing, and more unusual cards for sale. My rating is between average and very good. There are books for sale on the local area, and about the old railway. It makes a good stop off point for refreshments if walking or sight seeing in the area. Good for railway buffs too, as it is on the site of the old station and presumably where the slate was loaded to transport down to the coast for shipment. There is a small playground where children can "let off steam" if they've been in the car for too long!
