Perfect choice

Clean hotel with good choice of food. Breakfast was plentiful and a great choice. Bed was a little too soft for me but room was warm and comfortable. Location was excellent for walking Eryri and using the mountain railway.

We booked a twin room but when we checked in it was a double. They changed it. Cleanliness was OK but with lots of harvester spiders and cobwebs in the 'dark corners'. The window would not close properly - we reported it when we left.

Lovely location near Llyn Padarn, next to Snowdon Mountain railway. Nice public areas and gardens, although a little bit faded in some places. Room was ok, but shower room very cramped and nowhere to put anything. Good breakfasts with wide choice.
