Decided it was a must to come back and stay after stumbling across this lovely hotel at the end of my walk up Cadair Idris last summer. New bedroom and ensuite refurbished to a very high standard, cosy bar and restaurant with excellent beer, food and service!! A perfect break away!! Thank you!!

Stayed here in the summer when the nights were warm and long and the beer was cold and refreshing. Had a very comfortable stay. Came for a drink and some food whilst visiting friends in September. Made to feel very welcome by the staff and the locals who had us pull up a chair by the fire for a drink... More

I would like to thank the owners of the Gwernan for helping to make my birthday party this last week-end so special. My family and friends all enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and the location. Diolch!

Sorry to hear that our response was considered to be rude. On the day in question I remember informing you that the hotel was booked for a private function for the whole day and fully booked and therefore we were unable to allow any more vehicles to park on our very limited car park spaces. More

You will not find a better more relaxing place to stay. The owners were so welcoming and the hotel's location is perfect for a visit to the coast or mountain walks due to its location to Cader Idris. We went for a stroll around their lake before a wonderful welsh breakfast.

If your looking to find a really friendly family run hotel with it's own fishing lake tucked under a mountain this is it. Wonderful walks all around, excellent atmosphere in and around the hotel, a lovely bedroom all set in peace and quiet. What a wonderful place to forget the daily hussle and bussle and relax.

We recently spent 3 nights at this beautiful hotel and were made to feel the most welcome from the moment we arrived untill we left. The young staff were very accommodating and proffesional. The Gwernan has the added benefit of being situated at the foot of Cader Idris making it an ideal spot for those planning on walking. My husband... More

We stayed in the hotel as a base for walking in the area. The owners and staff were very helpful and welcoming. The cosy bar area with open fire was very appealing after a long wet walk. Our room was very comfortable. It was recently refurbished to a high standard, including the en suite shower room. The food in the... More

I stop by here every time I visit the area. It's location is beutiful and superb when thinking the end of the Fox's Path is 5 yards from the front door. There's a great pint of Butty Bach to be had and the place has a very relaxed (yet profesional) ambience. The owners and locals are very friendly and enjoy... More

A magical location by a mountain lake half way up Cadair Idris. When we arrived all the staff and all the bar guests were chattering in Welsh which made the hotel seem doubly special. That did not make us feel excluded as the hotel owner and all her family plus two lovely locals switched to English and made us feel... More
