Perfect location to discover north west Wales. There is an off road parking as well as a bus stop in front of the house. The apartment is perfectly equipped for self catering and the hosts Jason and Joanna are super nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and can highly recommend Gwel Afon!
Did what it said on the tin. Really comfortable and a good centre for exploring but nearest shops a few miles away and the local pub is closed for renovations. Little touches were missing like washing up liquid and a spare tea towel and waste food bags etc. But overall the house served us very well and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Jason was very friendly and helpful.
