We stayed 2 nights at Penaber B & B and can't praise the accommodation or Gary & Mary highly enough. Our room was quiet, huge, spotless and had wonderful views in (literally) all directions, and we very much enjoyed the breakfasts, too. Just 15 minutes' stroll along the coast or up (and down) the hill to Porthmadog, and yet it... More

We stayed 2 nights while in portmadog (to do the welsh highland railway among other things). Modern house, very clean and comfortable, great breakfast (cooked breakfast or a llovely fruit platter). No Internet connection, and our mobile cover was patchy.

Borth Y Gest is not on everyone's radar and that means it's a treat for the casual visitor. This imposing B&B looks special and is special. From the location, the seclusion and the scenery it all makes for a very pleasant stay. Room was huge and very well furnished with all quality fitments. Great breakfast and service from Mary and...

Made very welcome by the owners, room was lovely, spotlessly clean and well presented. Bathroom was lovely too. Only minor problem was no internet of phone signal. Breakfast was great as well ,all freshly cooked.

Penaber is the best b & b we have every stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Mary and Gary were friendly and helpful. We walked from the Penaber to the Ffestiniog railway station and it took us seventeen minutes. A great find - we'll be back

We feel it is about time we let everyone in on this charming b&b. We have stayed with Mary and Gary probably about 10 times over the last few years and we really love staying at the Penaber. It is spotlessly clean , Mary and Gary are very friendly and helpful and they serve a very nice traditional english breakfast.... More

While a little out of town, the Penaber B&B is an excellent choice if you find yourself staying in Porthmadog. If you don't have a car, be prepared to walk about 20 minutes from the main train station, or 15 minutes from Ffestiniog railway station - part of the way is uphill too! If I'm honest though, we quite enjoyed... More

All i can do is re-iterate everything said by the previous reviewers. The welcome was warm, the breakfast was great and the room was absoutely superb. I paid much more at a "Sporting Hotel" in the town last year which was by far inferior to Penaber. In fact the best review that I can give of Penaber is to tell... More
