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.

The staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. Beddgelert was stunning. The breakfast was delicious. Ty Afon is also very close to Mount Snowdon if you're interested in climbing it. Thank you for our wonderful stay.

What a fantastic place! It is in a fairy tale setting and the grounds and town are beautiful! Regan is very knowledgeable about the area and gives great recommendations for places to visit and hike. The food is exceptional and the staff warm and friendly. This was our favorite spot on our 2 week long trip. Highly recommended!

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.
