excellent village stay!

comfy bedgenerous portionstasty foodroman blind

the rooms are done to a high standard, i found the decoration lovely and the bed very comfy. the restaurant had generous portions and tasty food for both dinner and breakfast. the chef even brought breakfast for the dog!

the roman blind at the bedroom window malfunctions and needs attention. it raises and lowers very lopsidedly. i think halfway up it looks dreadful.

Charming stay in Snowdonia

quiet roadgood room sizehelpful stafffull parking lot

The location was superb on a quiet road. It was near the center of Snowdonia. The room had a good size. The staff booked a dinner table at a local pub for us (i appreciated it!).

The parking lot filled up quickly, so it was challenging to find a space. This was inconvenient, especially after a long day.

Location

9/10

The hotel sits centrally, close to various attractions, and is easily accessible. It has excellent proximity to village shops and scenic walking routes, allowing guests to explore the area. Views from the hotel are excellent.

Dining

8/10

The inn features a gastro-pub that provides a range of food options for lunch and dinner. Breakfast had good options. Sunday roast was excellent but was good.

quality towelsdelicious meal

My room was a beautiful room. the top-quality towels felt amazing after my hikes. the breakfast was also great. i could request anything i wanted. it reminded me of a home-cooked meal, we loved that it had no menu. But the taste was delicious!

the parking lot behind the building only fits about nine cars, which i found a bit limited.
