Historic and lovely, also very comfortable with a wonderful pub and superb breakfast. The hosts were helpful and had interesting stories about the culture to enhance our experience.

Jill United States of America

Staff were excellent. Both friendly and efficient. Food was very good.

Peter United Kingdom

The Breakfast was good with a variety of choice. Dogs were welcome.

Geoffrey France

Meals were very good, a good choice on the dinner menu and breakfast was quick but not rushed. The location is very good for walking or touring mid-Wales. Considering that it is located near a busy roundabout, I was expecting some noise, but even with the windows open, we were not disturbed.

David United Kingdom

Arrived totally wet from a long days cycle ride and the hotel was a beacon of light for us.

Christopher United Kingdom

Great location for dyfi and mawddach. Friendly owners and staff. Quirky building and comfortable family room. Excellent real ale.

Richard United Kingdom

The breakfast was amazing. We will go back to the hotel for the food alone!

Wendy United Kingdom

Really convenient location for exploring the North Wales coast and countryside. Friendly and efficient staff. Excellent food. Will return for sure.

Mark United Kingdom

The breakfast was excellent ! Plenty of options - even for vegetarians.

Lisa United States of America

Loveliest owners and staff. Very friendly and helpful. Bedroom was spacious and cozy. Great bathroom facility. Restaurant was amazing! We had dinner and breakfast and the food was excellent. The menu is great with good options. Totally recommended, would come back there if back in Snowdonia National Park!
