We loved everything about Sygun Fawr! The communal area and honesty bar were great additions, making it a perfect stay for a group as it made meeting easy. We even watched some of the Euros in the lounge on comfy sofas. The breakfast was delicious too! Unfortunately we couldn't make breakfast the first morning as we all had an early running race. But the staff were kind enough to arrange a little packed breakfast for us to take.

Honestly, Sygun Fawr was perfect and we would love to come back soon! The only potential downside is the walk to the main village - the drive up to the cottage is quite steep, so if you are someone who struggles with going up or down a steep hill, this could cause a bit of an issue. But other than that, honestly we liked everything!

The stunning location and warm welcome we received (by Buster the puppy!) as well as hosts Jay and Keith. Jay makes an amazing breakfast waffle and Keith did a good job at making us feel at home. The lounge especially with its woodstove and lit Chistmas tree encouraged us to sit back and relax after a long day of hiking outside.

Many reviewers write they find the small access road inconvenient. However, it contributes to the off-the-beaten-path, Welsh countryside experience. The narrow road with it’s puddles and overgrown sidewalls apexing in a steep climbing driveway, where you find the country house around the corner is exactly what makes the whole tour such an exciting journey. If we had to name one point of improvement it’d be the absence of a shower head.. but hey, why shower when you can take a bath?

Our second time staying, both times the house was very clean and breakfast was perfect with plenty of choice. The location is great for hikes and walks into town, the communal areas feel very homely and great for relaxing at the end of the day. The house has a beautiful front garden which is perfect for when the rain eventually stops!

Our room only had a bath with a very low bath shower attachment. Although the water pressure and temperature was great, not being able to stand up for a shower made it difficult to feel fresh after washing. We've stayed in other rooms previously which had a full shower which we preferred.

Firstly a huge thank you to our hosts Keith front of house, Jay chef and of course Buster providing the entertainment. Your hospitality and service was the very best ever. Your home is absolutely stunning.Home from home. Keith from SA Jay from US and Buster from England you have a wonderful collection of art. 22 acres of beautiful gardens on the side of Sygun Mountain. What a backdrop! The bedrooms are so comfortable, clean and well maintained. Tea/coffee biscuits… The so cosy lounge with log burner. An amazing breakfast selection in the Conservatory breakfast room and the amazing 3 course dinner (for £35) in the dining room. A good selection of wines/beers/spirits in the honest bar with darts and cards available. A lovely chess board in one other cosy seating area. For walking Sygun Country House is ideally located for some stunning walks. 15 mins into picturesque Beddgelert. Llyn Dinas, Dinas Emrys Sygun mountain circular walk. Moel Hebog and Yr Wyddfa (via the Watkins Path) all from the hotel front door..

Nothing

I can’t recommend Sygun Fawr Country House highly enough! Amazing location surrounded by the Welsh hills, 15-minutes walk from Beddgelert town. The house itself is beautiful, with cosy and very comfortable bedroom (we slept amazingly!), lovely shared lounge and ‘honesty bar’, and gorgeous garden with stunning views. Keith and the rest of the team were super welcoming and really helpful recommending restaurants and walks/activities nearby (including lending me a backpack as I forgot mine!) We were on our “mini moon” and were even surprised with a bottle of Prosecco at dinner - a perfect experience all round!

Just a 10-15 minutes walk from Beddgelert we found this beautiful Country House. By car faster of course, but it ‘s a narrow single lane road to get there. And it’s a nice walk along the river into town. Big plus are the 2 charging points for EV’s - still a little scarce in Wales in 2024. In weekdays you can book diner there, which we did twice. I sincerely doubt if there’s a better restaurant in town. And last but not least: staff is very friendly.

To get there by car you have to travel a narrow single lane road, but there’s little traffic so no problem.

The room was immaculate, bed was extremely comfortable, bathroom was great, shower was brilliant (once I figured out how to use it). Really appreciated the hair dryer as I was going to a wedding. I liked the idea of a serve yourself bar, this was very helpful when coming home from the wedding and upon arrival. Staff were extremely warm and welcoming. Really appreciate the loan of the umbrella for the wedding when it started raining.

I personally would have liked a TV in the room, this would have given me the chance to unwind after a long trip for the wedding the following day, especially with the Euros on. The hill to the venue has gathered a reputation for the wedding party, but still the venue itself was lovely.

Host and staff were extremely friendly. And of course the house dog Buster made the stay even better. He is a very friendly dog that loves pets and scratches, but at the same time very well trained and behaved and listens to his owner when he is told to stay away from guests (e.g during breakfast). The place is really beautiful and I only wish we had more time to explore the beautiful garden and have more chilled mornings having our coffee and enjoying the view.

I couldn't stay longer... the only challenge is the drive from the main road to the house, as its a very narrowed road with only couple of passing spots where two cars can pass eachother, however we got lucky with no cars driving towards us so no issues with when we had to go through the road

The location is incredible with a beautiful garden that soothes your soul. It's very peaceful and you can only hear birds, the water flowing in the ponds and streams and the whisper of the wind. With a lovely 15-min walk you are in the village where there are a few pubs and shops. With less than 15-min drive you find the starting point of one of the routes to go up to Snowdon. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast choices are abundant. The waffle with the bacon and the Welsh yoghurt were fantastic! It's such a special place and we would definitely come back if we come to Snowdonia again.

The place and our experience were perfect. I would probably only say that it would be good to provide more information around attractions, services (bike rent, bus info, pubs, etc) and hiking routes in the area.

The owners made us feel so welcome and by the end of our stay, we felt like we'd made good friends. They were passionate about making sure that we had a good experience, which we did.the tranquil setting, with no children, was just what we needed to unwind in the breathtaking location that this property is located in. The food was outstanding with the added advantage of choosing an evening meal at the property in the evening, on most nights. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and can't wait to visit again.
