Tudor Lodge is 4 star guesthouse just off the High Street in Porthmadog. Its central position…read moreprovides a good base for visiting the local area including Portmeirion and the Welsh Highland Railway. The people who run the guesthouse are friendly and helpful, using their local knowledge to recommend places to visit. The car park is secure, but its irregular shape can make parking somewhat of a challenge, when it's nearly full. The rooms are immaculately clean, and quiet and peaceful, even though the centre of Porthmadog is very close. They feel like they probably have too much furniture in them, but that is only a minor quibble. No smoking in the guesthouse is a definite plus. My only minor gripe is the continental breakfast, a little too self service! I don't mind making my own breakfast and I prefer a light start to the day, but the lack of variety or filter coffee, was a little disappointing. I would recommend Tudor Lodge to anybody and we will probably go back, but the breakfast could be improved.

Rated 4 stars by the AA, I'm going to go one better and give it 5. We found this place quite by…read moreaccident (after a disappointment with accommodation we had previously booked elsewhere) and what a pleasant surprise it was on arrival. Situated at the end of Porthmadog's main thoroughfare - and therefore handy for everything - the Lodge is a classy guesthouse/B&B, with reasonable rates: Single from: £39.00; Double from: £64.00, has beautifully presented rooms (our ensuite bathroom was absolutely immaculate) and with tv and tea/coffee making facilities provided as standard. The staff couldn't have made us feel more welcome, and our stay was quiet, relaxing and comfortable. The breakfast room is a definite plus - a nice place to relax in the morning, with a wide range of food on offer on a self-serve basis. No smoking in any part of the lodge (another plus) with an adjacent and secure car park for guests. Can't wait to go back, really.

I stayed here with my brother in their twin room. Although not massive the room was well presented…read morewith tea and coffee making facilities and a flatscreen TV with integral DVD player that also allowed you to play videos off a SD card/USB Stick. Elizabeth and Colin make you feel very welcome and the breakfast is excellent. They even provide home made marmalade. The views over the Borth Bay are stunning, though access to the (very pretty) house is through a gate straight on to the road (Children beware!) When we arrived we noticed that all of the doors had signs on them asking guests to close doors quietly and so we made a concerted effort to do just that, so we were a bit surprised the next morning when they asked if we could be quieter. We did do our very best and often felt like ninjas creeping around slowly opening and closing doors! Borth y Gest is a great place to stay with a number of small attractive beaches and costal walks it's also an ideal starting point to explore the local area from as it's only a short 10min walk into Porthmadog. Price wise this was an excellent choice and you'd be hard pressed to find better for less. I would recommend to all (except those of you with noisy door opening skills)
