We stayed here for 1 night in August 2012; beautiful place, extremely hospitable owners, really made us welcome in their home. Visited the local restaurant / pub which is linked to The Escape, superb food, and a first class breakfast there the next morning. Highly recommended...

Not much to say really when somewhere is this good! We were made very welcome, the room was all we needed with an en-suite shower etc. A wonderfully peaceful place with just the occasional screech of an owl at night. Highly recommended and a great base for travelling up and down the coast.

My Daughter and I stayed for one night in the twin room. The welcome was warm, as indeed was the room, as we had turned up on a cold wet August bank Holiday! The room was specious and tastefully decorated. Everywhere was clean and fresh, the little touches made all the difference, including luxurious toiletries and the biggest fluffiest towels... More

Stayed for 1 night in the Mawddach Room. The room was very comfortable and appeared recently redecorated. It also had a nice view of the surrounding countryside. The shower unit opened directly into the room which was a bit different with a separate cubicle for the toilet. There were tea and coffee making faciilties available in the room and a... More

We had a pleasant stay at the Escape. Fortunately the local pub/ restaurant ( two minuets walk ) was very good otherwise we would have had a long drive for evening dinner.
