From first entering the hotel lobby we were greeted by friendly and efficient staff. One of the owners, Ian, checked us in, showed us to the room , explained the safety rules, fire escapes and where to find someone if there was an emergency in the night . Room 6 had a dual,aspect window, table and chairs, wonderful comfortable mattresses and pillows .
The restaurant was excellent . The menu not too large but covered the essentials with choices of beef, chicken , lamb , fish and vegetarian dishes . The roasted lamb, red wine jus, shepherds pie and minted greens was quite excellent and served very efficiently and politely by Rohan and other staff . The chef should be congratulated for a wonderful dish . The cheese platter was excellent And not overpowering. All in all a wonderful dinner at very reasonable price.
Breakfast in the morning was individually cooked and the cooked breakfast a great start to the day .
The hotel nestles below Harlech Castle which is a very impressive location. Although near the road we did not hear traffic noise .
Check out was efficient And Ian and Rohan very helpful when asking about local facilities and shops .
All in all a wonderful stay and Ian, Rohan, the staff and especially the chef should be congratulated for running such a great hotel and restaurant .Good luck in the future and I would certainly be back here And recommend the Y Branwen to my friends .
