The overall experience was ok, nothing special. It’s definitely no a 5 star hotel. We also had dinner and breakfast in the hotel and overall it was decent. At the arrival, no one explained as where the parking was, the WiFi and how to enter the property after 8 pm. At the check out no one was there and we just left the key to the chef

Nice clean place. The room and bathroom doors on the upper floor are meant for hobbits. Therefore, if a normal person is not careful, it leaves a bump on their head. On a warm day, those rooms are not very comfortable to sleep as there is no air conditioning.

Room was clean and comfortable, bathroom was clean and looked after. The only negative was at breakfast in the pub, the cups looked like dishwasher hadn’t cleaned them good enough.

Absolutely incredible stay. The room was the cosiest - I could have slept for a week straight. The food was 12/10, massive portions and incredibly fresh. The best was the staff! Thanks all! From check in to check out, everyone was great to have a chat with. I can’t wait to come back.

Comfortable stay the night before the Bala swim. Service at evening meal was excellent. Breakfast service Terrible as only 1 member of staff at start of breakfast. Long wait until more staff arrived. Most of us needed feeding before the swim & a few left even though it was included.

I stayed for one nite in room 3 top floor. It’s situated at rear so away from Main Street at front , therefore so quiet . Lovely room , my gut feeling is the breakfast would be great , but I had to leave early so unfortunately can’t comment . Parking for my motorbike was easy and also at rear. Would definitely stay here again .

Fantastic pub! Room and bathroom clean with all facilities needed. Had a fantastic roast on the Sunday with a choice of 3 meats. Evening meals good too with a varied menu. Breakfast also great with an extensive selection. Staff made it memorable with their friendly, helpful approach. Look forward to retuning.

Nice and friendly welcome and on arrival impressed with the bedroom however on checking bedding a dried blood stain on the fitted sheet which was clear to see and in clear view (must have been seen when making the bed up) and also a dirty stained pillowcase was evident. Reception informed and immediately resolved the issue. They also offered a free drink as an apology. Tv remote required new batteries but was advised the sensor was hid behind the dressing table mirror and although we moved it, it still did not work. We were in room 6 and the noise from the large industrial fans were running up to 10:30 at night and we were awoken by them restarting at 6am. Avoid this room if you want a peaceful night sleep. The food was amazing at breakfast and evening meal and therefore this influenced the better star rating given. Such a shame as if there had been no issues it would have deserved a higher score.
