There was a warm, efficient welcome. The room and bathroom were spotless, the bed comfortable and the water steaming hot. I cannot comment on the food as the kitchen was unfortunately closed when I stayed so no breakfast (which was included in the description on the Expedia website) or evening meal, which I had hoped for. The beer was good in the bar, though!

Worse stay in a B&B for a good long time.

Advertised as including Breakfast on Hotels.com and other websites, this is what we paid for Bed and Breakfast. When checking in was asked ' did you get the email about Breakfast?', No I replied, 'Well we don't provide anything, not even continental'. Thats strange I said, you are clearly advertising and charging customers for Bed and Breakfast. Had an evening meal, which I can only describe as the worse meal I've had for a good long time, one of the meals was inedible, which we complained about and did get a refund. the next few nights we found some decent eating places but had to drive 2-3 miles up the road. No room service to replenish tea / milk etc. This place appears to be run by the community but it appears they are only interested in it for a watering hole for the locals!!

Nothing like the pictures or description

I really liked the idea of a community run hotel, but it was simply not worth it. No drinking water in the room (fetch it yourself down the hall), black mould everywhere, cold (window didn't shut, heating was turned off for the whole building and duvet very thin) and we paid for breakfast when booking, then were told they "don't do breakfast" when we got there. For the price they charged it was greatly disappointing.

Advert says continental breakfast is included, which was reason for booking here not elsewhere locally. Only after checking in we're we informed that no breakfast is available "as there's no chef." A continental breakfast doesn't require a chef - anyone can put out cereal, milk, toast and , pastries! Informed closest village southbound to get breakfast was in Dolellau, a half hour drive away!!! My details were taken for manager to contact me to offer a partial refund. Over a week later and no contact made and false advert for breakfast included remains.

Great stay!

Very nice place. The room had everything we needed for our weekend in Snowdonia. The location was great to access different hikes on the area. Great place for dog owners.

Location was good for stay near Snowdonia national park. Room was cosy with the essentials needed after a days hiking. Unfortunately there was a party occurring downstairs and found the noise travelled. We also didn’t receive a breakfast

Apart from them not expecting me, they weren't doing breakfast and the telly was broken, I have no complaints. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the room was just what was hoped for with a comfortable bed and functioning hot shower. A bit pricey for a pub in April.
