Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We stayed in a Mountain View room in the annexe, which is a short walk outside to the pub. The room was clean and comfortable with a spacious bathroom. Good quality bedding and towels. We ate in the restaurant every night and the food is...excellent. There is a small bar area with log fire, and another area with afire which is dog friendly. At breakfast there is a continental choice and hot food cooked to order. All the staff were excellent.More

We love coming here with our mini schnauzer who gets as warm a welcome as we do. The food is freshly cooked and the fish and chips were noteworthy for the thin crispy batter on the fish and the crunchy chips. All the staff, front...of house and back were friendly and engaged with the visitors and their dogs. There’s a really great feel-good factor here and we love coming backMore

Everything about the Groes Inn was perfect. The room, bed, bathroom. The food, bar, staff. Everyone was helpful and kind and willing to go out of their way to make it the best stay ever. It's close proximity to Conwy is convenient, but being away...from the "city" was the best part. We woke up every morning to watch the sheep farm on the mountains and see the birds.More

The rooms were ok. However the extractor fan for bathroom not working. Comfortable bed.however the breakfast experience was not good, not replenishing items and running out of items. Evening meals one and a half hour wait for starters arriving cold/luke warm, further hour before mains...arrive, which were dry and burnt. The manager was apologetic for poor service and food, and was hopeful this was isolated to this one week of operation of facility. We ate elsewhere for remainder of stay.More

We went for a prebooked Sunday lunch for 8 people and we can honestly say it was the worst food we have ever had both the starters and mains were cold and either over or under cooked the Sunday roast consisted of a large tasteless...Yorkshire pudding the veg was for 2 people 2 small pieces of raw broccoli tasteless mashed carrots and red cabbage the trio of meat was a joke and very hard to find and each person had 2 small roast potatoes with 1 person not having any it was embarrassing as we took family who came over to stay with us for a what we thought would be a lovely meal out for them needless to say we will never go again which is a shame because the location is lovely. Whoever was the chef should be embarrassed sending out food of such low quality.More

Great stay, lovely staff, superb food. Only downside, presence of dogs. Unhealthy and off putting. And totally unnecessary. Would definitely stay again but for this.
