The royal oak
Pros:

A wonderful hotel in an amazing location!
Right in the middle of the village. The super helpful staff made us immediately feel at home, the parking permit was brilliant and we loved the breakfast.
The bed was very comfortable, A great shower with soap and shower gel supplied.
We ate in the stables bar on the evening which was great and because we only stayed one night, we will be back to try the grill room which looked amazing too.
At night all of the outdoor seats and lights look really lovely.
We will be back really soon.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Room 204 was pristine.. beautifully decorated in modern olde worldy charm and perfectly located at front of hotel over looking the river across the road where the herring fish. A perfect base for exploring the village and Snowdonia. Also the bonus of using the Spa facilities at their local sister hotel Waterloo. I am glad however that we were not in the room directly above the hotel entrance, as an open window would let in the smoke of people smoking outside lobby area. Would definitely stay again in the same room.

Cons:

Had to keep the windows open 24/7, as it was very mild & the heating was on 24/7 so room was exceptionally hot. My only disappointment was that I was really looking forward to my scrambled eggs at breakfast, but it was terrible, a strange wet creamy texture & cold (i've had better microwaved). So opted for fried eggs the next morning instead.

Pros:

Booking.com sneakily advertised it as with a breakfast included but when I got there it wasn’t. Got to read that small print. But the place was excellent and it was worth paying the extra £15

Pros:

Location is great, loved the clean and warm room. Restaurants are great. Just a wonderful place, would happily come back.

Cons:

Nothing. Just a tip for anyone going, leave your luggage in the car when you go to check in as you get a permit to pop in the car, then you can find your room.
