Our property sits in 3 aches of Garden and Woodland with 2 waterfalls separating the garden from the woodland which run into the river Wnion. Lovely walks on the property and has access to a lovely walk along the River. Lovely spots to sit and relax. The B&B is a 7 min drive from the town called Dolgellau so you benefit from the tranquil location and the convenience of a short drive to town. We serve dinners in house 3 or 4 times a week (pre ordering is required).
We have bought Afon Rhaiadr Country House in April 2015 and we are loving running the B&B. Gareth is the Breakfast King, I love baking and together we prepare the dinners. We run the B&B on our own with a little part time help. We are both home and garden enthusiasts. We love cooking/baking, good food, nature and working together.
There is so much to explore here in Wales we are on the border of Mid and North Wales so both areas are easily accessible. If you want to just relaxing taking in all the breath taking views or a multitude of activities any adventurists would love to try. Forests, Lakes, Mountains and the sea side, what more can you ask for.
