Since purchasing Afon Rhaiadr Country House in April 2015, we (Gina and Gareth) have poured our hearts into creating a welcoming, home-from-home experience for every guest. We truly love running the B&B and take great pride in offering a personal touch that reflects our passion for hospitality, nature, and good food. Gareth is our Breakfast King, preparing delicious, locally sourced breakfasts, while Gina loves to bake, with fresh cakes and treats often available for guests. Together, we prepare all the dining options, from hearty breakfasts to Candlelit Dining on select evenings. We run the B&B ourselves, with a little part-time help, ensuring a hands-on, attentive approach to every detail. We’re both passionate about home and garden, and you’ll see this reflected in the care we put into the property—whether it’s in the beautiful gardens, cozy guest rooms, or quiet spaces where you can relax. Our shared love for cooking, good food, and nature is at the heart of our hospitality, and we take pride in making your stay as memorable and enjoyable as possible.

Afon Rhaiadr Country House is a luxurious 5* Victorian Boutique B&B nestled in 3 acres of woodland at the foot of Cader Idris Mountain, in the heart of Snowdonia National Park, just a short drive from Dolgellau. This elegant retreat offers a perfect blend of comfort, style, and natural beauty, ideal for those seeking a peaceful getaway. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by Gina and Gareth, your hosts, who ensure a warm and personal experience. Expect luxurious surroundings, with stylish decor that preserves the period features of the house, combined with modern comforts for a relaxing stay. Each bedroom is individually designed, featuring sumptuous furnishings, luxury bathrooms, high-quality linens, fluffy towels, indulgent toiletries, and a generous courtesy tray.

On select evenings (Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday), enjoy a special Candlelit Dining experience, offering a menu of freshly prepared dishes (advance ordering required). Don’t miss our Afternoon Tea, perfect for a relaxing treat in a beautiful setting. Relax in the sitting room or conservatory, both overlooking the gardens and surrounding woodlands. Enjoy a glass of wine or a hot drink while reading a book or watching the variety of wild birds feeding at our bird feeders. Stroll through our grounds, explore the nearby disused railway path, or simply listen to the soothing sounds of the river, waterfall, and birdsong from one of the many peaceful seating areas. We offer special packages throughout the year. For more details, please email Gina directly.

Nestled in 3 acres of beautiful garden and woodland, our property features a tranquil waterfall that flow into the River Wnion, creating a peaceful setting for relaxation.
