From arriving to departure the owner and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. We went B&B, plus evening meal, which was well worth it. Big mention to three of the staff Will, Osian “Fish” and Willow who really went out of their way to make sure our 3 night stay was very memorable. Will definitely be trying the sister hotel in Dolgellau in the near future.

The staff and hotel are fabulous. They were celebrating the 10th anniversary of being in business yet my room looked like it was newly decorated. Both the dinner she breakfast I had were tasty and well presented. The staff were always helpful and attentive. There was even a secure shed where I could store my bike overnight. The room was well appointed with toiletries and drinks. The bed was really comfy. I'd definitely return and will recommend others go and visit too.

Had a wonderful stay! Room Was clean the bar/restaurant was really good dinner was tasty staff were very attentive only slight thing is that breakfast wasn’t great mine and my partners eggs benedict were both cold and staff seemed a bit rushed in the morning so didn’t want to ask for fresh ones so we just left it. Other than that everything was prefect and we throughly enjoyed our stay.

Sarah

Liked: Staff & service
The front of house staff and waiting staff were great however, the kitchen really let down the stay. Fish and chips - fish soggy not crispy, pooling with oil and the crushed Parmesan potatoes like something you would concrete bricks together with and the local trout was so overcooked it was hard to chew it. The fish and chips were sent back and the second attempt was worse, fish still swimming in oil, the chips re-used from the first attempt and so cold at this point, the tartare sauce had developed a skin where it was re-used and the mushy peas, again re-used from the first meal/attempt and so were hard and dry. Breakfast - the cooked breakfast for gluten free consisted of bacon egg beans half a mushroom half a tomato. The normal breakfast came out without black pudding or lava bread which was listed on the menu. As a boutique hotel please can you consider supplying better coffee than instant Nescafé in the rooms, and in the heat of this summer consider removing the winter feather duvets? And placing more appropriate bedding? And Adding a fan in the room?
