Good Hotel Guide Review
Against the backdrop of Cader Idris, with views across sheep-grazed pastures to Tal-y-llyn lake and the Dyfi and Tarren hills, this 18th-century farmhouse-turned-B&B is beautifully situated, even by Snowdonia’s standards. So forget your devices and go walking, biking or fishing. The simple, traditional bedrooms have a pocket-sprung mattress, a Welsh wool throw, a shower, or bath with shower over, and L’Occitane toiletries. Breakfast at the oak dining table brings award-winning sausages, free-range eggs, home-baked organic bread and home-made preserves, with fish options if you prefer. Your hosts Alex Yorke and Lorraine Hinkins will point you in the direction of good places to eat in the evening, and want you to relax and have fun. There’s a well-stocked honesty bar, a comfortable lounge with log-burner, leather sofas, books and maps, and if you want to steep in the hot tub under a star-filled dark sky, only the owls will give two hoots.
