Friendly and such a warm and pleasant place to stay. Views to die for. Fab!
Pros:

The rooms, whilst a little 'tired' have real country charm, so no points deducted. Really good. Food was excellent as are the staff.

Cons:

The plumbing is a littel antiquated, but works fine. No loo brush!

Unique experience in Welsh countryside near Conwy.
Pros:

The location was rural but a great base for exploring Conwy and Llandudo. Bus stop to both locations within very short walking distance and the bus ride to Conwy is only 10-15 minutes. Staff were extremely helpful with any requests we had. We had a room with a terrace that backed onto a field of sheep, which was a lovely and unique experience. Sitting out on the terrace in such a remote setting is incredibly relaxing. Unfortunately it was cloudy during our stay, but on a clear night we can imagine how starry the sky would be for anyone who enjoys observing the night sky. Breakfast both mornings was of an exceptional standard.

Cons:

Whilst the weather was nice at the time of our stay, the heatwave hadn’t begun yet but the room was stiflingly hot. A standing fan was provided but even that wasn’t enough to have the room cool enough for a pair of Scots.

Pros:

We enjoyed the food, comfortable room with a great view and lovely big bathroom. I loved the fact that there wrre drawers and a wardrobe instead of just a hanging space and a few shelves which happens so often.
The staff.were genuinely friendly and helpful

Cons:

Room furnishings were a bit tired but the same size room with updated furnishings would probably have cost much more.

A mixture of reactions. I would definitely recommend outside of the busy season.
Pros:

Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

The Groes was on a busy, main road, whereas the image showed a set back building. As the window had to be kept open in warm weather (no fan) sleep was disturbed.
On a very busy evening, food served had missing elements eg prawn &avocado salad had no avocado. A main meal offering spinach had no spinach!!! Other nights were fine.

Relaxing stay at The Groes Inn
Pros:

We loved the location, the excellent service and the great food. The Groes Inn has a very relaxed vibe and nothing is too much trouble for the hard working staff. We woke to the local farmer using 3 of his dogs to herd the sheep in the adjoining field and nearly miised breakfast!! The location overlooking fields and hills is stunning. It was so quiet overnight too so we had an excellent nights sleep.

Cons:

The room was a bit hot as the sun had been streaming in all day. Maybe close the curtains if possible earlier in the day?
