We had a wonderful stay in one of the suites. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and really well equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was fantastic too — so close to everything, which made exploring the area really easy. The staff were incredibly helpful, friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. The whole place is absolutely stunning and has such a lovely atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it. We’ll certainly be back! ❤️

We had a lovely stay at The Penhelig Arms in a beautiful location. The food was good, even for gluten free. Excellent options all round. We couldn't fault the staff even if there weren't many on shift. However, the showers could have been better as water leaked out the door, (some re-sealant would have helped) and two of the window handles were either broken or we couldn't open the window. The fridge also wasn't cleaned. It did not look clean at all. One of the slabs was loose near the room and just need cementing down. The railway station was literally a 1 minute walk away. A beautiful line to travel on. Would I stay there again? Yes.

Beautiful location and fabulous rooms, suites with sea views. Book the suite as includes parking as car park up road is £15 24hrs. I would recommend upper suite as was awake at 6:30 with upstairs banging about. Staff lovely, good choice of drinks & food. Scenic walks and the beach is gorgeous. Be careful if you buy an icecream as the seagulls will take it out of your hand! We had a lovely chilled break. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful hotel/pub with a breath taking view over the Dyfi estuary. Set in cottages built in 1750s it has lovely nooks and crannies and quirky floor levels but the beds and bathroom are all first class. Notes worth knowing, the Hotel is 100 yards from the Penhelig request train stop but the hotel does not have a carpark. There is a public carpark around the corner at £15.75 a day or a few on road parking free 6pm to 9am.

There were power cuts in the village which caused a multitude of problems for the staff but they went the extra mile and did everything they could to make all the guests as comfortable as possible. On that basis alone, we would highly recommend.
