What our guests say

We’re proud to have received thousands of fantastic reviews from guests around the world. Here are just a few of them.

Thank you Gina and Gareth, we really enjoyed our stay with you. Our room (Foxglove), was warm, the bed huge and it had an en-suite with spa bath. The food is home prepared and delicious, you have to try Gina's porridge! We would definitely recommend...Anne and Bob

We’ve just returned home from our splendid stay at Afon Rhaiadr where we were so kindly looked after by Gina and Gareth. Our room was beautiful, the house was set in a peaceful location, and our fellow guests were obviously as content as ourselves. It’s the people who make it what it is, and in Gina and Gareth, you have people striving to give their guests a good time. This was our first visit, but we know we’ll be back! Additionally, our Art conversations were enjoyable. Thank you both!

Where to start… This was our second visit to Gareth and Gina’s, we loved it so much the first time, we asked for the same voucher for Christmas so that we could visit again ! We stayed in the Lily Room again and it was perfect, allowed us to sit outside and see the dark skys. We had afternoon tea the day we checked in and it was delicious, breakfast was fab as ever on the two mornings, we both had the full Welsh the first day, and I had Porridge Gina Style on the second morning… WOW it was stunning ! We cannot wait to visit again !!!! Thank you Gareth and Gina for a fab stay and for being so attentive and welcoming !

We had a lovely 2day break at your beautiful guest house recently and wanted to say what a pleasure it was - so thank you to Gina and Gareth for making us so welcome and our short stay so enjoyable , from strolling in the amazing gardens to enjoying delicious food in the evening on our first night. The room was lovely with views to the trees and fantastic bird life. Nothing was too much trouble making our stay memorable so once again thank you and hope to return again next year.

We had a 2 night stay at Afon Rhaiadr which was amazing! Both Gina and Gareth are perfect hosts, our room and the country house was beautiful both inside and out. The food was deliciously homemade and after our evening meal we had drinks by the log fire in the lounge and enjoyed every relaxing moment. Their local knowledge and suggested places to visit was really helpful, and thanks to Gina, Gareth and family it was a weekend to remember, and we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you.
