Birthday visit

Room clean and comfortable, the only issue we had was the bed sliding about with the slightest touch. Great breakfast and evening meal just a bit too small a portion for the cheeseboard.Loved the vegan schnitzel! Parking was easy and hotel was in a good location.

We found The Royal Sportsman to be clean, comfortable and friendly. Just a short walk from the Rail Station and easy walking to many points of interest including the steam train station. The restaurant at the RS was a very nice surprise and we enjoyed all our meals there. Most of all we appreciated the staff who were all very kind and helpful. We would certainly book a room at The Royal Sportsman if we return to Porthmadog.
