Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a strategic location close to Pwllheli beach, offering easy access to various tourist spots like Porthmadog and Cricet Castle. The rooms, although up two flights of stairs, were well appointed and comfortable for my two-night stay in December. The friendly service, especially from Liz who quickly resolved an overpayment issue, added to a pleasant experience overall.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was interesting, offering unexpected discoveries, though a bit far from main tourist spots. The friendly service was a plus, but the dining options and the layout of the rooms were underwhelming.
Staying in the rooms above the pub might not suit everyone, but my experience was fantastic. The room was warm, comfy, and had adequate facilities. It was basic but clean, and they even managed to fix a broken light on a bank holiday weekend. However, there were a few unpleasant guests around.
