  • "Jason and Joanne’s apartment is fantastic."

    Exceptionally clean, very comfortable in all aspects and in a fantastic location. He even made the patio secure for us so our little dog could wander in and out ! Amazing place !

    Thank you Peter It was an absolute pleasure. We aim to please. Look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

  • "Well set up, and set out accommodation."

    Very comfortable lounge/ eating area. Kitchen equipment all as you would expect and all clean. A really nice play to stay, very central for Llyn peninsula, and of course Snowdonia Ational park. The owners are on hand to help or consult but they are no means intrusive if you wish to be left to it. I would happily go back there, so that seems a decent recommendation! And you can't say that for them all......

    A great base with a wide range of day trips out including stunning beaches, Snowdonia, historical sites etc. The property was clean and had everything needed for a family of 2 adults and 2 children (aged 14 and 12 - good wifi). Having breakfast outside with the sound of the river nearby was lovely. Many thanks to the hosts.

Perched in the charming village of Llanystumdwy near Criccieth, is this superb ground-floor accomodation, Gwel Afon.

Enjoying a wonderful location along the banks of the River Dwyfor, which can be heard from your very own private front garden, and within easy reach of Snowdonia National Park, Gwel Afon is the ideal dwelling for a family of four.

Be greeted by two off-road parking spaces and a front patio with furniture, the perfect spot for savouring your morning coffee.
