Spotlessly clean with excellent facilities. The setting is fantastic with the views out over the Dwyryd estuary, looking towards Portmeirion, and amazing sunsets! Will definitely be back. Thank you.
Michael
It is very well equipped and a real home from home. We had sunny weather and made good use of the garden which is fully enclosed, great for our dog. There is so much to see in North Wales we had no difficulty in finding places to visit, a week for us wasnât long enough. We hope to be back to Gwelfor in the future. Jean, Mike and âNevisâ
Diana
Fantastic views of Snowden and the estuary.
