First time in the north of Wales and Gwawr really made us feel welcome! A cousin recommended we stay there, she stayed in the 70s and Gwawr remembered her! The breakfasts were delightful and every room was cozy and cheerful. My family and I went because on my mother's maternal line we are related to Richard Sebastian Bond whose house... More

This was my first trip to Wales and Gwawr was a wonderful host. We stayed in the hotel. On arrival we were greated with Tea and home made cakes which went down well after a 4 hour drive. We sat at the front of the house and looked out at the beautiful view. Gwawr was very helpful offering advice on... More

This is our third visit to this accommodation and it never disappoints. Gwawr and Ian are wonderful hosts and do everything possible to make you feel welcome We stayed in The Studio, an annex to the main house and completely self contained. Everything was perfect including the welsh cakes Gwawr left for us :) Seriously, this is a little slice... More

Booking accomodation is always a scary experience not knowing what you'll get. We certainly struck gold with this one when my brother and I booked a weekend for climbing! Accomodation was homely and immaculate. Hosts were warm, friendly and couldn't do enough for us, felt more like popping to a relations house for the weekend rather than a B&B. Definitely... More

The rooms were beautifully decorated with tasteful furnishings and the hosts were warm and welcoming. Home from home. Another plus is the location, close to the village and within easy reach of many attractions. We would definitely recommend and plan to visit again soon. More

I stayed with my partner for two nights. This B&B was lovely. In a quiet location with good views. Close enough to walk into the village and drive to Snowdon. Plenty of options for breakfast, which was delicious. The owner was very nice and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definately visit again. More

The Pengwern is a perfect example of everything a B&B should be. It's quaint & pretty, small, is very well run and serves up an amazing breakfast with spectacular views right from your table. I loved it. We stayed in the room with the four poster an it was lovely. Ever so quiet and big enough to stay in for... More

We were delighted with our two-night stay in this charming B & B. Gwawr Mowatt, the proprietor, was a great resource for details about the area and restaurant recommendations. The breakfasts were wonderful and accommodated my husband's diabetic requests. There was complimentary WiFi in the guest rooms and a very cozy livingroom on the main level with a good selection...

After a stay at Pengwern last year, we returned in the recent heatwave for another dose of Welsh hospitality. And thankfully nothing has changed. Welcoming hostess (Gwawr), smashing breakfasts, lovely comfortable rooms and glorious views. In our view, there's no need to look further than Pengwern if visiting the Betws-y-Coed area! More

The breakfast menu provided a large choice and the food was well cooked and presented. Gwawr the proprietor was very friendly and helpful when it came to providing information on the activities in the area. It... More
