Beautiful location and fabulous rooms, suites with sea views. Book the suite as includes parking as car park up road is £15 24hrs. I would recommend upper suite as was awake at 6:30 with upstairs banging about.
Staff lovely, good choice of drinks & food.
Scenic walks and the beach is gorgeous.
Be careful if you buy an icecream as the seagulls will take it out of your hand!
We had a lovely chilled break. Highly recommend.
This is a beautiful hotel/pub with a breath taking view over the Dyfi estuary.
Set in cottages built in 1750s it has lovely nooks and crannies and quirky floor levels but the beds and bathroom are all first class.
Notes worth knowing, the Hotel is 100 yards from the Penhelig request train stop but the hotel does not have a carpark. There is a public carpark around the corner at £15.75 a day or a few on road parking free 6pm to 9am.
There were power cuts in the village which caused a multitude of problems for the staff but they went the extra mile and did everything they could to make all the guests as comfortable as possible. On that basis alone, we would highly recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Room was great , hotel overall was great .
Medium annoyance is doors closing loudly early morning and most of the evening.
Lovely stay on the waterfront - parking can be a little tricky to spot the entrance, but once located easy to access.
Nice breakfast and great location.
