Breakfast was perfect. Despite Covid restrictions, Alison went above and beyond to make our experience memorable.

Lesley United Kingdom

Great location for a visit to Portmeirion, Porthmadog, Harlech Castle or Snowdon. Room was clean and bright, reliable wifi, plenty of hot water + strong water pressure for the shower along with lots of toiletries. The small in-room fridge was an unexpected bonus along with the complimentary bottle of delightful Dark Bitter beer by Purple Moose Brewery. Tons of hot and cold food at breakfast, and plenty of cafetiere coffee. Many parking spaces at the rear of the building. I will definitely stay again next time I'm in the area.

Paul Canada

The owners were very friendly and there were lots of lovely extras - shortbread, chocolate, local brewery - purple mousse bottle, a hot tub and many more. Breakfast was delicious and lots of home made produce. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely recommend it.

Rachel United Kingdom

Excellent host super breakfast clean and comfortable every thing you could ask for for a mini break

Michael United Kingdom

Alison was a lovely host, rooms very spacious and clean. Breakfast plentiful and really nice. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Vicky United Kingdom

Alison was a wonderful host, nothing too much trouble. Everything was perfect. Even had beautiful home made jam. Because it was my wife's birthday there were chocolates and prosecco in the room. Excellent.

Peter United Kingdom

Exceptional breakfast. Exceptionally and genuinely friendly hospitality. Intelligent conversation.

Bald United Kingdom

Fantastic breakfast, our host was amazing and nothing was any trouble. The room was a good size with enough space for a small sofa so we could take in the view. Alison has thought of everything, from the extra towels, complimentary tea, biscuits, some lovely slices and even a local beer to enjoy. We really enjoyed our stay and cannot speak too highly of this B&B

Cassandra Australia

Alison was terrific, helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was great.

Dennis United Kingdom

Alison was a brilliant host, so welcoming and made us feel at home right away. Location was great, breakfast was delicious (as was the cake!!)

  • hi we are looking at booking 2 rooms in September to bring our mother who is 88 for a couple of nights. do you have any ground floor rooms?
    No unfortunately we don't - I'm sorry! But we do have handrails wherever possible (stairs, baths etc)
    Answered on January 27, 2021
  • Is there sheltered parking suitable for a motorbike? Thank you
    Unfortunately we don't have any sheltered parking. We have a shed which we use for pedal bike storage, but i don't think there would be room for a motor bike. Our carpark is quite secluded but unfortunately no sheltered covering.
    Answered on April 13, 2022
  • Is there a shuttle available to get to the closest beach nearby? What are the other transportation options?
    No unfortunately there is no shuttle available. You will need to catch a local bus service to Porthmadog.
    Answered on September 24, 2019
  • We’ve booked two nights in October, will we be able to use the hot tub please?
    Yes the hot tub is always available ( except for routine maintenance and cleaning) for guests to use.

Bwlch Y Fedwen B&B dates from the 16th century. Originally a coach house, a village pub, courthouse, farm, restaurant and now an B&B. The house is Grade 2 listed so comes complete with all the little quirks you would expect from a house of this age. Our guests have their own access door to the first floor which means there is no need to walk through the owner side of the house at all. You can come and go as you please through the day. A quick walk around the outside of the house in the morning brings you to the breakfast room which has a beautiful view down into Porthmadog and our nearest mountain Moel Y Gest. We have plenty of off road parking in our own private car park. Guest are welcome to spend time relaxing on the outside decking or even take a dip under the stars in our outside hot tub.
Alison is an ex industrial engineer and engineering contracts manager who spend many years working for various national rail industries. After having her two children, Dave and Alison decided it was time to move home to Porthmadog (where Dave originated from). Dave works full time as General Manager of the Bala lake Railway although he still dabbles with the FFestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways. Alison decided her skilled were best utilised in developing and running the bed and breakfast, and nearly ten years down the line is now incredibly proud of what they have achieved. Attention to detail is the moto they use and go to extremes to ensure that every guest (even if only staying for one night enjoys the best that they can offer.
Bwlch Y Fedwen is ideally placed if steam is your thing! We are literally surrounded by many private steam railway companies including the famous Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railway. The beautiful and unique village of Portmeirion is a quick 3-4 miles away as are many beautiful beaches including Black Rock Sands. Golf courses can be found in Porthmadog, Harlech, Betws Y Coed and Nefyn. For the more adventurous you can enjoy a quick sprint up Snowdon ( just 9 miles away) or enjoy the adrenalin of the world's longest and fastest zip wires and caves at Llechwedd, Blaenau FFestiniog. As for the castles, you are spoilt for choice between Caernarfon, Harlech, Conwy Beaumaris or Criccieth to name a few. Finding place to eat can be a worry whilst on holiday, but no need to worry as we have that covered. Just a mile away in the village of Tremadog you will find two pubs. a fish and chip shop and one of the best restaurants (Y Sgwar) in the area. There is also a local Spar shop and post office.
