We really didn’t mind staying here, the walls are really thin so it is very noisy when other guests are coming and going. It would be helpful to have soap in the rooms and maybe shampoo and conditioner sachets

We booked the accommodation after checking their website which indicated meals were available. However on arrival we were informed that no meals were available. The location is 2 miles in either direction. Note that the taxi service is very poor in the area.

Ferry port friendly

One night stay on way to ferry port. Very convenient and makes more sense than catching the 0240 option. Got a good nights sleep before continuing journey.

This hotel is providing limited rooms/service as it is up for sale. Nevertheless, the rooms are cleaned daily and have free wifi. There is no restaurant and the bar is only open 4-8pm. So very few resources, but Treaddur Bay has shops, pubs snd restaurants. The Spar sells lobster! So if you are prepared for limited facilities but a clean and peaceful stay this is a good choice

The hotel was clean and comfortable, the Continental breakfast was adequate. Out of 25 rooms, only about 3 were occupied, there was no restaurant service, and it felt as if the hotel was "winding down".

We had a great nights stay here. Please don’t be put off by some of the reviews. The room was clean and spacious. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Comfy bed and plenty of pillows! It’s a great base to explore the local area. The host was very friendly and the bar was perfect for grabbing a drink and sitting outside in the sunshine with it.

Accommodating host

We were delayed due to car trouble well beyond the check-in timeframe. The hotelier was understanding and supportive resulting in a swift check-in and well needed night’s sleep.

Lovely view in our room. The building is old but room was very clean and the bed was comfy. Breakfast is not continental but it's ok (cereals, milk, yogurt, fruit, juice...) There isnt much to do around the area so I would say it's ok for a overnight stay.

Stayed here one night enroute to Dublin. Checked in after 21.30 when there was no staff present. Easy enough as they left a note for us outlining the codes and to do's. Clean, spacious rooms with lake view. Breakfast can be found at the bottom of the stairs which is cereals, croissants and yogurts. 10 minutes drive from here to Holyhead ferry port. Clean roo
