I stayed one night at this lovely guest house and everything was wonderful. Christine and Alan were extremely welcoming and friendly, made the best vegan breakfast I can remember having, with most of the things homemade, from the overnight oats with fruits till marinated teriyaki tofu and jams. The room was quiet, clean, looked over the fields and was very homey. I hope to stay there again someday when in mothers Wales again.

Great room and bathroom, excellent veggie breakfasts, attentive and friendly hosts. Towels were ample but felt a bit rough but 200+ insect bites sustained in Eire were no fault of our hosts, and they’re investigating environmentally-friendly ways to soften them. Good value.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. Even though we only stayed one night we felt home right away. Alan and Christine were super nice from the first email to the farewell. They made us a vegan breakfast which was out of this world. …

Lovely, old fashioned B&B managed by an elderly couple.We went here in August 2022.Very friendly! Rustic, but tidy rooms.The breakfast is amazing. Alan & Christine go out of their way to provide a filling vegan breakfast.Unfortunately, the house is not 100% vegan (it is vegetarian), but the toiletries in the bathroom are vegan and if you mention that you are vegan, the hosts take it for granted that you will be offered only vegan food and vegan milk :)Info: They are not longer serving dinner. Breakfast and packed lunched only.Dinner / Lunch options can be found in the area.We really like the green issues in the house:Recycling, food waste goes to the compost or wormery, growing vegetables, photovoltaic panels and a lot more.We gladly recommend Graianfryn Vegetarian Guest House!

We last visited Graianfryn on our honeymoon - 31 years ago. This was, despite trying to book a few times in the past (they were full), or second visit.||Just as good as the first time, if not better! …

We specifically wanted a totally vegan / vegetarian place to stay and this fitted the bill perfectly. We were warmly welcomed on a very blustery and soggy day. The room was great with en suite and bed very comfortable. Vegan / vegetarian breakfast was excellent!

Great location, comfortable rooms, a bit tight with the breakfast unfortunately, like Oliver, had to keep asking for a little more please ! Christine and her husband are nice and helpful and the area in North Wales is wonderful and a good base, it's just a shame that we felt uncomfortable asking for a little more. We asked for some toast one morning and were given one piece, a bit odd, anyway, generally good, I have stayed here twice now

We stayed here first about 20 yrs ago and had a very positive experience. So finding ourselves heading that way last week we thought let’s go there again.||I very much want to say the positive things first. …

My wife and I plus dog had a two night break here. It's hard to imagine improving on it as veggie/vegan retreat. The dog had to stay out of the dining room (which is fair enough) but otherwise could please himself. …
