First room I had, had an issue with the door, staff immediately swapped my room! Staff were very kind and helpful, room had both a fan and electric heater which was perfect. Great food, nice pint selection. Excellent location.
Very nice place. The room had everything we needed for our weekend in Snowdonia. The location was great to access different hikes on the area.
Great place for dog owners.
comfortable, clean, nice views around, amazing location, just down from the hotel there is a Snowdonia slate trail. Also the pub the hotel has delicious local beers which are great to enjoy after hiking all day long. The hotel has a long history dating back to 14th century
Our room was nice, clean and bright with a large window facing the road.
Staff were very friendly and helpful during our stay.
However check in was late at 5pm with an early checkout at 10am. No breakfast or lunch option due to being out of season and no fridge to store any food over night.
Great for walks but anything else you need to travel out by car.
Very quaint and delightful hotel with a fantastic pub, staffed by some genuinely lovely people. The rooms were spacious, beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and it was a great atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed it, will definitely recommend to friends.

Lovely room and pub. They were not offering food that night but they recommended a takeaway that did delivery so that was perfect
Clean room & Friendly staff
Old (antic) furniture, missing pieces from bathroom, noisy fan in the bathroom. Window... that is not an window, couldn't keep the rain out, it was windy outside and inside, the window isn't fit for purpose. Everything was low quality. The owner invested a penny maybe 10 years ago in that room.
Apart from them not expecting me, they weren't doing breakfast and the telly was broken, I have no complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was just what was hoped for with a comfortable bed and functioning hot shower. A bit pricey for a pub in April.
