My stay at Heulwen Guest House was truly enjoyable. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable experience. Andy and Heulwen were exceptionally friendly and attentive, always willing to help with any requests. The location was convenient, close to key attractions. Additionally, the breakfast offered a good variety of options and Gluten free option was brilliant . I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and hassle-free stay
I loved the property I stayed in. It was clean, cozy, and in a great location. The amenities were excellent, making my stay very comfortable. I’d definitely return!

A very warm, personable welcome from the hosts. I'd stated that I have both a dairy and a gluten intolerance and they catered for me above and beyond what I was expecting, even down to buying a packet of 'Free From' granola just for me. The house is gorgeous, rivalled only by it's magnificent views. Placed well up on the opposite side of the valley from Dolgellau village centre, it's as quiet as you could want. The room was wonderful, taking in the views mentioned above and very comfortable. We will definitely be returning.
The only thing we didn't like is that we don't live there.

Our stay at Heulwen Guest House was so delightful that we didn't want to leave. Our hosts' welcome was warm and the room was immaculate and cozy. We could step out of our room onto a patio, gaze at the breathtaking view of the meadows, the baby lambs, and the mountains, immersing ourselves in the joy of being in nature whilst luxuriating in comfort. Our days began with a bountiful and hearty full English breakfast cooked to order, and served by Heulwen and Andy not only with a smile, but with genuine joy. Heulwen and Andy were always at the ready with directions and suggestions for our forays from the bungalow. The house is decorated with the most exquisite taste, and although we were blessed with unusually good weather during our stay, we could imagine the pleasures to be had from lounging in the sitting room with a good book on a rainy day. Given the serenity to be enjoyed at this bed and breakfast, it's all the more felicitous that it is located only about ten minutes' drive from Dolgellau, a beautiful old town of stone structures with a number of shops and good restaurants. We can't wait to go back and stay at Heulwen Guest House again.
Cannot think of anything; it was perfect.

Heulwen and Andy are fantastic hosts, so very nice and helpful, with pleasure they give advice where to go and what to see to make the very best out of your holidays. I got a beautiful room - big, with a terrace, and windows on two sides, with a stunning view to the wonderful surrounding landscape. The house is situated at the end of a quiet hamlet - the only things you can hear are the lambs and the birds. The bed was the best I had during the three weeks I spent in Wales - mattress new and not too soft. Excellent breakfast with a big choice, freshly made fruit salad, homemade jam etc. Heulwen Guest House is a perfect starting point from where you can explore many beautiful spots of Snowdonia - the coastline with enormous beaches, the Llŷn peninsula and the mountain regions with beautiful lakes, and a good choice of castles and gardens worth visiting as well.

Andy and Heulwen where lovely hosts and where always ever so helpful and complete pro's! We struggled a little with the parking but we were allowed to park in a easier spot (much appreciated). On one morning, we needed an early start and early breakfast serving was no issue at all. If we ever needed information locally, recommendation or a glass, a plate etc, this was never an issue. The location was superb being in a quiet setting with incredible views, yet only minutes drive from the town. Everything was really clean, the rooms were well thought out with plenty of space and storage and useful touches like USB power blocks (first time we'd seen this!).
No problems at all

Everything was wonderful. From the welcome from Heulwen and Andy, to the tray of tea and biscuits on arrival whilst sat on the Patio taking in the beautiful garden and amazing views. Our room looked straight onto the garden. It was a big room and nicely comfortable. They gave us information about the area and where we might go for our evening meal. The bed was comfy and we slept well. The morning breakfast was lovely. Anything and everything you could want. Served freshly cooked and nicely presented. This is the best review I’ve ever given and it is completely true. We can definitely recommend this home of these two lovely people.
Everything was lovely.

Heulwen Guest house is run by husband and wife, Heulwen and Andy who are absolutely lovely and can't help you enough. The house is beautiful and the views from the rooms are even better. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and very tasty and there was also a lot of variety.
The only small thing I could fault was that I struggled to sleep a little bit because I felt the mattress was a little firm and the curtains weren't blackout so there was a lot of light coming through the window. This is more just because of what I'm used to though and, after a day of fresh air and good food, it wasn't really much of an issue.

Andy and Heulwen are the most welcoming and accommodating hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they were are always friendly and attentive.
Bathroom opposite the bedroom, it is clearly stated in the information and the bathrooms were private to each room and very well appointed but having to cross the hall the use the toilet is a little bit of an inconvenience. They did however provide dressing gowns which is a nice touch

Beautiful, peaceful setting. Incredibly kind, attentive and friendly hosts. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable accommodation. Wonderful full breakfast with homemade fruit preserves and lots of options. We found the location perfect for sightseeing and walks, but also spent a whole afternoon in the garden enjoying the views and sunshine. Thank you Heulwen and Andy, it was a wonderful stay.

Everything about this guest house was perfect. Comfortable and clean rooms with amazing views. Beautiful garden with plenty of seating. Quiet and peaceful. Lovely lounge area to sit and relax. Heulwyn and Andy are brilliant hosts, they can't do enough to make your stay perfect. They chilled our wine in the fridge and when we came back in the evenings four wine glasses were laid out on the coffee table for us! They are so thoughtful! The breakfast is one of the best we have had! Will definitely stay here again.
Nothing at all.
