I have stayed at this hotel at least four times now: twice for business and twice for pleasure. Every time my stay has been enjoyable and this is my go-to hotel for the Snowdonia area. For motorcycles: no covered parking or ground anchors. Pros: - Amazing full Welsh breakfast that will keep you going until dinner time. Perfect for walkers, hikers and bikers needing fuel. - Location is remote enough to enjoy gorgeous views, but still close enough to the major towns by car to get the essentials. The hotel is also in a quiet spot. - Many great attractions, walking routes etc within 1 hr drive. - Prices are often much cheaper than the alternatives in the bigger towns. - Ample parking. - Rooms are overall clean and of good quality. - Staff are great. Cons: - I cannot really think of any tbh.

Very nice rooms, location and price, the bed was very comfortable and the hostess was welcoming. However the rooms were rather warm and we were suprised that they didn't serve dinner. Overall a good experience.

Amazing place to stay at. Nothing to complain the view the food and the staff just absolutely brilliant everything. Only stayed for 2 nights but can’t complain. The manager was lovely definitely will stay again.The learning differences people are lovely to have a talk with and the staff with them were very kind to them. Up the road on the left there’s a lovely path to go on a walk I’ve attached some photos below would definitely recommend staying here.We will come back.

Had a lovely 3 night stay here. Staff are brilliant. The hotel is very clean well maintained and nicely refurbished. Room 3 with dual aspect windows was nice with lovely views. A small television with limited channels and a tiny basin in an otherwise good bathroom were the only minus points. Having to fill the kettle in the bath was a bit quirky and awkward! Didn't have breakfasts so can't comment. Had one (pub style) dinner in the bar which was okay and fair value.

Had a lovely stay here the night before our Cave Zip line experience. Rhyland the desk clerk was such a friendly character, doubling as a barman too. Nothing was too much trouble . The rooms were very clean and had beautiful furniture. The single beds were comfortable enough for one night and the shower room was very clean. The tv signal was occasionally a little dubious but the weather was wet with plenty of wind.The views are amazing and it is so peaceful...Morning breakfast was cooked to perfection and there was plenty of staff on hand if anything was needed. Although checkout was 10am there was no rushing or knocking at the door at 9.55 to hurry us along like some places. We would definitely stay here again.

Amazing friendly service, stunning views and huge rooms, had a wonderful stay here on our walking holiday. They were serving evening meals after all, which was great as there aren't many options nearby. The recently refurbished bar is beautiful.

Situated just outside the town, the views from the front of the hotel were fantastic, with seating available in the late afternoon sun and a nice cold drink after a days touring. The facilities in the room were very good with a generously sized bathroom and good sized towels. During our stay there was no evening meal, but the hotel did provide two local hotels where an evening meal was available. Along with directions from the rear of the hotel through the local graveyard, although we did have to climb over a metal gate, on the way just near the church there was a a raised tump which gave a great 360 view of the welsh mountains, which was compensation for our trek.

I stayed here with friends back in 2017 - we were the only guests in the hotel and arrived quite late in the evening and the staff were lovely. The room we had spacious and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was amazing - better than I could have imagined hashbrows, eggs, veggie sausages..... the location is picturesque with many beauty spots within easy reach. I plan to go back with my family- fond memories!
