~We had the pleasure of returning to Einion House for our second visit; this time we booked 5 rooms and took our family. What a great week-end. All the rooms are so cosy and spotlessly clean and the superb breakfast is such a fantastic start to each day. Thank you Alvin and David for being such wonderful hosts. We look... More

We could not have asked for anything more in a B&B. Myself and 2 friends were in the area walking the coast path and we were delighted that we had chosen Einion House as our base. Alvin and David are so friendly and helpful, the breakfasts are excellent and the rooms are spotless in the extreme. Beds so comfortable and... More

Apart from being spotlessly clean, having comfortable beds and fine breakfasts, Einion House has David and Alvin who are the perfect hosts: friendly and helpful, but not obtrusive. We enjoyed the location, with its mix of mountains, sea, farmland, and of course, great walking. We shall return.

I really loved my stay at the Einion and I already can't wait to go back. I had not visited the area before but the combined experience of ease of access (by train in my case), fantastic scenery and this delightful accommodation made it a short break that I will not forget. David and Alvin are the perfect hosts, charming... More

The B&B was very close to the beautiful Blue lake and Wales Path. The owners, Alvin and David, were very friendly and helpful, explained us were to go what to see. It was a nice stay. The room was nice, spacious and clean, coffe/tea facilities, nice en-suite. The breakfast was also good. Will definitely recommend it. Tanya & Kirill

We have just returned from our third short break at Einion House. We have discovered a fantastic place to get away from it all. The rooms are exceptionally comfortable - on the last two occasions we have had the King Size, which is beautifully furnished and has every comfort. There are nice touches with the refreshments tray, which not only... More

Outstanding service - Alvin was outside the door expecting us as we parked the car. Room more than spacious and well-appointed, only the shower was a bit of a let-down (not much power). Breakfast great, both owners extremely knowledgeable and helpful and the walks around the area fantastic (especially the one-of-a-kind slate quarry with its miraculous blue waters). Was a... More

After an excellent day's walk along the Wales Coast Path, I only made it to Fairbourne as darkness fell, and Einion House was a very welcome sight indeed. David greeted me with a much-needed cup of tea, and provided good advice about local eating places. My room was very comfortable, and I enjoyed a fine breakfast the next morning while... More
