Enjoyable stay at Gwynfa. Great location for sightseeing nearby and shops/supermarkets. Excellent breakfast with perfect fried bread. The room is cosy, spotlessly clean and well look after. Our host Beryl is friendly and made good suggestions for trips especially for us without a car. Highly recommend for this place.

What a find!! Beryl and Barry are amazing hosts - so friendly, and Beryl is an encyclopaedia for local information of things to do and places to go, and nothing was too much trouble for them. The room was a good size, spotlessly clean, as was the en suite which had a good-sized walk in shower, and there were even extra little touches like a box with paracetamol, anti-histamines, cold and flu tablets etc in, a wall-mounted bottle opener, wine glasses, dressing gowns and slippers! The breakfast was great, with orange juice, a choice of cereals, full Welsh cooked breakfast (with quality bacon, not the wafer-thin stuff you get in some places) - or you could get a lighter breakfast such as scrambled egg on toast - tea (including the fruity and mint stuff) and coffee, toast and marmalade/jam.
The location is great - a short walk to the pubs/restaurants of Porthmadog and to the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway. Gwynfa would certainly be our first choice for a place to stay if we went back to Porthmadog.
Can't find fault with anything.

Breakfast was good, location easy to walk to Porthmadog. Easy to drive to other areas. Had parking.
Room was slightly small, house had a lot of ornaments. But every need was available.

Gwynfa is like the best B&Bs fifty years ago. I had come to the conclusion that "they don't make 'em that way any more" – until I came to Gwynfa. It proved to be like the good old B&Bs I could find in the seventies. The landlady, Beryl Barwell, is a most sympathetic woman who keeps a well-equipped, tidy, clean guesthouse, with an excellent Welsh Breakfast. Would you imagine a landlady who kisses you goodbye after your stay?
Everything in Porthmadog is within walking distance.
There is nothing I didn't like. It is hardly possible for a B&B to be better.

Couldn't ask for more. The hosts were welcoming and friendly, and the accommodation was clean and well presented. It really did feel like a home from home. It is perfectly located in the heart of Porthmadog with picturesque views of the mountains and opposite the shops, there is seating at the front of the property. Beryl provided us with all the local information to explore this beautiful part of the world. Our breakfast preferences were taken upon arrival and served between 7.45 & 8.45am. They had a selection of cereals, toast, and jams accompanied by a well presented and extremely tasty cooked breakfast served with orange juice and a pot of tea/coffee. Thanks again for a lovely stay, Beryl & Barry were sure to be back again.
