We booked for two nights but left after one. Someone else has said in another review that Gordon gave them a little too much attention - I know what they mean! We'd driven for four hours and just wanted to relax with a beer. Our room was cold and damp so we went into the lounge. The fire had a... More

It's unusual to write a review without actually staying at the hotel in question. However we did visit here for food after a very long walk up/down Cadair Idris. So we cannot comment on the accommodation. The hotel itself is pretty small. With only about 8 rooms so if you are in the area and want to eat here then... More

We stopped off further... More

Thank you for your leaving your very untruthful review that you have left us. On the day in question we were extremely busy as usual, i did not refuse to warm you bottle, neither have we ever done for anyone with similar request in the last 10 years of being here at Minffordd. If i remember correctly you rather rudely... More

We had a great time at Gwesty Minffordd Hotel; the service provided was first class. Our host, Gordon was attentive and provided us with plenty of useful information about local places of interest, timetables for trains and distances etc. Our room was tastefully decorated, clean, comfortable, warm and cosy. We had a superb choice at breakfast and were provided with... More

A really charming small hotel, very friendly staff, lovely room and excellent food. A really good range of drinks - real ales and good wines in the small bar. No TV's anywhere - bliss! Gordon was a very entertaining host, we shall certainly return. More

It was well past dark, and we were afraid we would not make it to the hotel where we were staying in time for dinner. So we stopped at the Gwesty Minffordd. It was misty and cold, and this charming little hotel welcomed us like a sparkling jewel of warmth and character. The owner could not have been friendlier, and... More

Ideal location right at the foot of Cadair Idris, probably my favourite mountain climb in Wales. The hotel has 8 rooms and it is easy to mingle with the guests in the bar or find a more quiet corner in one of the two guest lounges. Bar meals were good value and the breakfast was excellent for choice. Slept very... More

The hotel looked somewhat tired from the outside and dated at reception, but our ground floor 'dog' room was surprisingly pleasant, spotless, with no odours from previous 'guests', great views, good facilities, and plenty of space for our dog. The location is superb for hikers, dog walking or just admiring the beautiful scenery. Breakfast was very good though we received... More
