Relaxing, comforting and indulgent stay that we can’t wait to repeat.
Pros:

Right away there was a friendly welcoming atmosphere, it was very homely. Our room was clean, comfortable with beautiful little touches of comfort and design. There was a fabulous range of teas, coffee, biscuits, water and even oat milk.
Later on we had the sharing platter, which exceeded our expectations. The dining room was again very welcoming, homely and beautifully designed with a cozy bar area to the side.
The beds were so comfortable we had a wonderful sleep and relax in the family room we stayed in. The shower and bath were also both very nice and clean.
The breakfasts were exceptional, with a great choice for families with children. Fresh local produce and again a great selection of teas, fresh coffee, juices, fruit and cooked to perfection. All with a fantastic view.
Set at the bottom of the mountain you are surrounded by beautiful views of nature that are so picturesque it’s mesmerising. A short walk away from the village which has some great restaurants, local pubs and shops including an amazing wood carving shop with the most beautiful carvings from nik naks to furniture. There is also a range of walks into and around the area for different abilities.
We had the most wonderful stay and experience and will definitely be going back to stay. A big thank you to Emma and Craig and all the staff that went above and beyond!

Cons:

Only that we didn’t stay longer.

A lovely, great value idyllic weekend away
Pros:

We had the most wonderful weekend away here. The hotel is set in an idyllic location, with great walks right on the doorstep. The hosts were friendly and made us feel relaxed. The rooms are a good size, clean, and comfortable. While the bathroom was a little dated compared to the rest of the hotel, it was perfectly functional and spotless. Breakfast was excellent and overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
They also had the most beautiful Christmas tree! We would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Given the excellent value for money, it was difficult to find any real faults. While the hotel bar was slightly expensive and our room was at times cooler than we would have preferred, these were minor issues. Overall, the experience was excellent.

Overall enjoy led the stay!
Pros:

Nice location, good breakfast and decent size family room

Dinner is a bit on the expensive side. If the luggage is heavy then have to be carried through the stairs as the room was on the first floor.

An unmissable experience
Pros:

We arrived late in the evening and every care had been taken to ensure everything was ready for our arrival.

First impressions arriving in the dark we're excellent, The aesthetics outside the property with extremely well planned lighting just enhanced the overall experience. Then moving into the reception area that once again was beautifully planned, lit and designed offering an extremely warm and relaxing arrival.

We got into the room which was squeaky clean and had absolutley everything you could have asked for.
An excellent selection of teas, hot chocolate and coffe along with biscuits, fresh milk and oat milk. Glass bottles of water and crystal clean glassware.


The bed was extremely inviting, cozy and extremely well dressed with ample pillows of different density, additional good quality blanket at the foot of the bed for colder nights.

The dressing table had good lighting and a sizeable morror for my partner to get ready in the morning.

The room had a large opening window with an excellent view of the mountains and the curtains were a good quality black out type.

The room had ample wardrobe and drawer space and perfectly planned electrical sockets

The bathroom was good with a large bath with shower and plenty of soaps / shampoos etc.

I had the welsh breakfast which was an easy 10/10 cooked perfectly with local produce, the coffee and other breakfast items were of great quality and very well stocked. The dining room just like the rest of the property was extremely well laid out giving no feeling of overcrowding

The hotel boasts a significantly beautiful location nestled on the edge of the beautiful village of Beddgelert that offers anything you could need from pizza to a news paper.
Only 20 minutes from "Pen y pas" to climb snowdon and only 25 minutes from the likes of "portmeirion"

All the members of staff were extremely accommodating and kind

We will absolutely stay here again and again without hesitation
