Pros:

I stayed in a single room with my 2 dogs. The hotel is perfectly placed for an adventure weekend around Bewtsy Coed and a walk back after any evening meal in the village, obviously drink and dinner at the hotel are great too.
Its not luxury, thats not what I went for, but very low priced, its clean comfortable and perfect for an activity weekend.
Ive stayed in various rooms, bunk house, apartment and single rooms.

Cons:

I was delighted to see a bath in my single room after a day hiking. However the water was only warm. Staff apologised and didn't charge me for rely dogs to make up for it.

Incorrect advertising
Pros:

I loved the location and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The bunkhouse is incorrectly advertised on booking.com. I booked for 2 people to stay. One bed each. However we ended up with a room each with 2 bunk beds in each room. Paying double.

Such a great place with amazing service and even better rooms!
Pros:

Everything felt very luxurious straight down to the mattress, you sink right in perfectly just what you need after a Snowdon summit, the bathroom was pristine and the bath was extra spacious with a very nice location too and the steam room and jacuzzi are an amazing feature.

Cons:

Can't fault it at all, only thing I would mention was how small the tv was but when I was in bed I could still make it all out all the same so no real qualms!
