The former station building is now a private dwelling. Llwyngwril was once a two platformed station with a passing loop and a water crane. Between Llwyngwril station and Fairbourne station is Friog cliff, which has views out to sea.

In 2016, The Welsh Government funded the installation of reinforced glass fibre 'humps' on the platforms to improve access for wheelchair and pushchair users onto and off trains.[1]
