Official Description (provided by the hotel):: We would like to welcome you to our home... where we have spent many hours lovingly refurbishing our house to welcome you as a guest. Gwaenynog is a beautiful farm in a quiet and scenic location, about 1mile from River Vyrnwy. Surrounded by 16 acres of land - a mixture of fields, woods and wetland; there’s a lot of wildlife and flora, plus a variety of birds, including Peregrines and our resident Tawny Owl. You will be assured of a warm welcome at our quality bed and breakfast. There are extremely comfortable beds, powerful showers, sumptuous and generous towels, fragrant shower gels and shampoos, a choice of teas and coffee in all the rooms with fresh milk, flat screen TV’s with Freeview & DVD players, and if you must, free wifi; all with varying views from every window. Take tea and homemade cake or biscuits after your journey to help you unwind. Relax in the guest lounge or out on the patio if the sun is shining, listen to the radio, watch television, or use the free Wireless Internet connection.After a relaxed night's sleep rise for a leisurely cooked breakfast of locally produced ingredients or perhaps something lighter. Our breakfasts are plentiful and varied – made for vegetarians, coeliacs or other allergies too - if you let us know in advance; and all made from the best local produce.Bordered by ancient woodland and hedgerows that offer seclusion, the campsite offers some wonderful views. You can relax and enjoy the peace and quiet that is synonymous with Gwaenynog. Quiet country lanes, ideal for walking or cycling, can join up with marked walks such as Glyndwr’s Way or Ann Griffiths walk (a mile away); or utilise other public footpaths and bridleways that cross the surrounding farmland. Or walk to the local pub (2.5m).Fortified by the breakfast, you can decide where to go, as we are centrally located for visiting various locations. So why not visit Mid Wales - and stay at Gwaenynog Bed & Breakfast. We look forward to welcoming you to our home, on what we hope will become a regular basis.Fiona & Norman, and Bonnie & Beau the dogs! ... more less

“Wish we'd found Gwaenynog sooner!”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

We stayed for three nights, filling in gaps to complete Glyndwr's Way. The farmhouse is in peaceful hilly countryside - lots of attractive little lanes - and Fiona provided every comfort and consideration to make it a most enjoyable stay. Of our 12 B&B's along Glyndwr's Way, this is our No 1. We'll be back!

“Excellent B & B”

Reviewed 30 August 2012

This was a fantastic location for road cycling with quiet hilly lanes, uncover storage for bikes etc. Hosts were very friendly and helpful even getting up early to prepare a 6:30 breakfast. House spotless yet comfortable. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Hello, Thank you for reviewing us on here. It's always nice to hear what our guests think. And maybe now more cyclists will come and stay - you're right, the lovely quiet lanes are great for cycling, or even walking - you can hear when any cars/tractors coming! As for getting up early, you're more than welcome - we couldn't... More
