This was a beautiful place with a lovely Host Deborah was lovely. She keeps a very neat clean property and with COVID restrictions in place, I felt very cared for as tea making facilities were cling wrapped to keep them safe the remote was sanitised in its own clear bag. Every effort was made to keep guests safe. The property has great little features like the servant bell buttons either said of the fireplaces in the living rooms where breakfast is served. Breakfast was a mix of cooked and cereal options. and to avoid lots of movement in the morning we were served at our tables. Some clear screens had been brought in to separate the tables though there was good space between them anyway.
It was lovely to wake up with beautiful mountain views and a horse in the field next door which is Deborah's. The room was comfortable the windows were huge! there was a little bit of traffic noise but we had the windows open it was a very hot week in wales and I don't think it would have been such an issue if the windows were shut. The bed was a little firmer than I like but I have a memory foam topper at home so everything else feels too firm for me.
I had a lovely time here and will definitely look to go back again soon. We stayed for three nights at the beginning of July 2021

We stayed for 1 night at this guest house with another couple who had come over to Wales from Yorkshire on some business. We didn’t arrive while late afternoon.
Therefore we didn’t appreciate what was in the area as a flying visit.
Deborah who greeted us at our accommodation was very approachable and attentive. Everything was in place for covid guidelines and we felt very comfortable with everything.
Our breakfast was excellent as was the quality.

Lovely, homely Guest House with stunning views, situated close to the imposing Harlech Castle and Portmerion Village. Deborah was the perfect hostess, giving us a warm welcome when we arrived, and then providing useful insights on the local attractions. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and the breakfasts were outstanding! We did not have a car, and the narrow, winding road is not suitable for walking to the nearest rail station. However, we found that travel by taxi was quite convenient, while giving us the opportunity to chat with owner-driver Ken about the area. Would recommend this to anyone desiring a beautiful and peaceful sojourn!

We sayed for three nights and had a lovely stay. Barbera made everyone most welcome and her breakfasts are to die for. We only stumbled accross Gwrach Ynys in September when the road outside was being resurfaced and we had to stop at temporary lights outside. The road is now re tarmaced and we are very thankful for the chance to stop and see this lovely house. The room was clean and tidy the bed comfortable. The only criticism would be the shower was snug but perfectly functional but overall the room was lovely, the staff were all freindly and made it feel like home from home. Clearly Barbera gets the best quality produce for her breakfasts and cooks them superbly. We will definately return again.

We spent one night at this lovely guest house with friends. It was in a lovely location with great views from the front and back of the guest house. Everything was in place for covid precautions and we felt safe. Deborah met us and was very friendly and keen to help with anything we needed. The rooms were very comfortable and everywhere was clean and tidy. The breakfast was excellent. It was a pity we were only staying one night. Would certainly book again if we were coming to the area.

Made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived, to the time we left. Spacious room, , v good nights sleep. Lovely en-suite, shower. Plenty of milk, coffee, tea etc, ( not the usual 2 x tea bags , milk etc ) Lovely location, short drive to the beach. Where at times we were the only persons visible. Left, having had a hearty breakfast, which made the stay even more worth while. Catered for my wife’s gluten free needs.

Lovely, homely Guest House with stunning views close to beautiful Harlech. Deborah was the perfect host, giving us a warm welcome when we arrived. The room was spacious and comfortable and the vegetarian breakfast was perfect. Hopefully we can stay for a little longer next time.

I can only think that Talsarnau is the best equipped village in the country for B&Bs if Gwrach Ynys is not ranked in the top two at present. I can only think it is because it has not had the volume of review that others have had. One thing is for certain: those who have reviewed speak the truth- there is not one review below "Very Good" and having stayed there for four nights I can fully understand why. Deborah is a charming and welcoming hostess, nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are comfortable, the bathrooms spotless and well equipped and the breakfast superb. The location is convenient for Harlech/Barmouth to the south and for Porthmadog/Snowdon/Portmeirion and the Llyn peninsular to the north. If you are looking for a base to stay in the area I cannot recommend Gwrach Ynys too highly.

We would thoroughly recommend Gwrach Ynys-located in superb south Snowdonia surroundings, quiet, spotlessly clean, and ably supported by the most knowledgeable and friendly hosts-Deb and Gwynfor. Diolch am eich lletygarwch-gwesty twt a thaclus!
