We booked three rooms at the hotel for our team as we were completing a challenge which included Climbing Mount Snowdon and Kayaking Lake Bala. The hotel is well situated for both of these. Two of us had dogs, which the hotel were very pleased to accept. The hotel is on the main road through the village opposite a meadow... More

We came here for a weekend away for my birthday. Chose the hotel because it allowed dogs, which they charged extra for even though this is not mentioned on the website however after seeing the area I think there are much better options than this hotel. The room was tired but clean and everything worked. The bathroom was grubby with... More

We are totally mortified that this happened to this couple and have tried to explain that laterooms.com were entirely at fault and in fact the person who took this booking at laterooms was a trainee who overrode the booking system. Lateroom.com sent us an email booking a room that was already booked but putting alternative room details in the comments... More

The staff are friendly and attentive without being over-fussy, the accommodation is very comfortable and the food which you can eat in the bar if you wish ( my preference )... More

As a family of 5 we booked the family accommodation that afforded 3 interlinked bedrooms . This was excellent and I don't know why more hotels don't offer something similar. On so many occasions we've had to double up . We stayed for 3 nights and found the food to be excellent , as was the friendly service . We... More
