fantastic sitting area helpful staff delicious meal low hand wash steep stairs dirty room
The sitting area was fantastic. The staff was helpful. the hotel's location near places to visit was also convenient. the evening meal was delicious. and the breakfast was equally great.
The hand wash was very low. the stairs to the bedroom were steep. This made it difficult for me. i noticed the room was dirty behind the bed.
the staff was friendly. i found the location quite convenient for exploring snowdonia national park. the sitting area in the back garden was a plus (nice views!). i enjoyed the food, especially both the evening meal and breakfast.
the stairs to the bedroom were steep, which might be difficult with mobility issues.

Balanced Stay with a Few Drawbacks
friendly staff best shower long wait noisy area
The staff were friendly and went beyond my expectations. The shower was great. It was the best shower I have ever experienced.
The service was not great. I booked a table in the main room, away from the noisy area, but had to wait 45 minutes.
