Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms, clean and fresh, with a good location for beach access. However, ventilation was lacking, and noise could be an issue. Service was friendly and helpful, though temperature fluctuations were noted in one area. The dining experience was tasty and offered a good start for the day. The location is central, but noise could be a concern. While the rooms were well-appointed, the ventilation issue was disappointing.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were a bit uncomfortable due to the lack of windows and could get hot at night, especially with some early morning noise disruptions from deliveries. On the bright side, the room had a lovely selection of tea, coffee, and biscuits. The service was generally friendly and helpful, although the owner seemed a bit distant. The location was excellent, right in the center of town with easy access to the beach and shops. When it comes to dining, the options were limited, and the timing for meals was a bit early for my liking. Unfortunately, free on-street parking was not available, which was a letdown. Despite some flaws, I found the hotel to be a gem in Barmouth with a cozy pub atmosphere and a good beer garden.
The hotel has a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were very comfortable and clean but had poor ventilation with a stuck door. The service was very good and the staff were friendly and willing to help. The location was convenient but noisy due to being above a busy pub. The dining experience was tasty, although limited. Overall, it's a decent stay with a few drawbacks.
