Perfect location very clean property parking perfect.Only downside is you can hear everything in the paper thin rooms.We were in room 6 which is directly above the tiny enclosed bar downstairs the noise was horrendously loud .Also there is a charge of 10.95 per person for breakfast.Probably wouldn’t stay at this property again due to noise factor.I’d say it’s more bb than a hotel.

We were part of a group of 3 couples traveling from Pennsylvania to Wales. We had a wonderful stay at Ty Afon! The owner, Regan, was immediately welcoming and helped the group with our bags. The house is beautiful.... Just simply elegant! Our room was lovely, very clean and comfortable. We had a filling breakfast each morning in the beautiful dining area. You are offered an option of continental breakfast for free or can order items from a menu for a reasonable charge. Regan was so helpful with helping us get the most out of our visit and recommended some sites we were not aware of. If you are planning a trip to Snowdonia, this is the place to stay! Enjoy the hospitality of Ty Afon River House and the incredible Wales scenery!

This is without doubt modern luxury personified. Dining is top notch, as you enjoy the splendour of the incredible views. The bar is supremely well stocked and offers a quality choice of drinks. A superb breakfast awaits and will not disappoint..

From start to finish this place was amazing. I spoke with the hotel owner Regan in February prior to booking explaining it was my wife’s 60th birthday and I wanted it to be special, and neither he or his wife Emma didn’t disappoint, …

Friendly family run hotel in a converted farmhouse a short walk from the village of Beddgelert. Our room accommodated a couple plus up to 2 children and included a free continental breakfast with a great choice of cooked options if you’re more hungry. It’s an ideal place as a base for hiking the surrounding hills which are spectacular.

I can’t praise this place enough. It’s a stunning boutique hotel just steps away from the village centre. Beautiful rooms, fantastic breakfast and a great team who provide great service. I will definitely return to this fantastic hotel! Great outdoor space for a drink with beautiful scenery!
