Great place for a short break
Room spacious and comfortable with extras like tea/coffee/water well stocked. Bath was nice to have but also a powerful shower. Food is good although service stops a little early - especially on Sunday. Breakfast very good - all cooked to order.

Not bad for the price
Great location, could do with a dedicated check-in desk not at the bar especially at busy service times.room very very clean but dated could do with updating throughout. Breakfast was ok but slow service, one poor lad serving on his own. Evening meals were very good.we had a room on the top floor and there was a bad smell on the landing.
Overall not bad for the price.

Friendly staff and decent rooms, but no air conditioning and only small windows that open made the rooms quite stifling in the heat.

Room was huge and well equipped. Now we did visit on the hottest day of the year, but the room was unbearably hot. We borrowed a fan, but this did little to cool the room. I can I ly assume the room temp would be much better if it wasn't 34 degrees during the day.
Staff were niceand food was good. Checking at the small bar.

Good central position for exploring whole of Snowdonia. Extra parking at rear of property. Room spacious and immaculately clean. Unusual and attractive room decor. Personal dislikes were basin in living area instead of bathroom, macerator toilet and lumpy duvet.
