My husband and I stayed for 3 nights at the weekend in this cosy B&B. Our welcome was a warm one, even booking us a cab for a wedding we were going to the following morning and giving us tips about local restaurants or sights to see. The room was well laid out, pristine and very comfortable. The location in... More

Quiet, comfortable, modern rooms. Hearty, tasty breakfast. Welcoming, helpful hosts. Yr Hen Fecws is right in the middle of Porthmadog but on a quiet side street, an ideal base for exploring North Wales and the narrow gauge railways.

Conveniently located in the centre of town, opposite the park, this is a delightful six-room hotel. Although we stayed here for just one night (to sweeten the pill of a visit to the dentist) we were made very welcome. The room was small, but clean and comfortable. A substantial breakfast is served at the bistro next door (under the same... More

Hen Fecws is in the centre of the town, has a great atmosphere - and has fires on the colder days - very welcome in a damp climate. The range of food on the menu gives plenty of choice for all tastes. The quality is excellent and uses local products - prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. Highly... More

Stayed in twin room and it was just as pictured and nice and clean. Having said that it would have been nice to have some drawers (other than those in dressing table) and a stand on which to park your suitcase. Otherwise the room was nice and cosy (solid walls) and the bathroom had plenty of space to accomodate all... More

Went for lunch at yr hen fecws last week with a family member and I was blown away with the hospitality that the owners showed us. On arrival I didn't think that we would get a table but Helen quickly ushered us to a table. I had Mexican wraps which were very tasty with home made potato wedges and a... More
