Had a couple of days away with our dogs, so lucky to find somewhere like this. Welcomed with a smile, shown to our room, nothing too much trouble. Had two lovely meals in the bar with our dogs, lovely wood fire, totally relaxed atmosphere. Food choice good, veggies cooked to perfection, mains exactly as advertised. Convivial chat with mine hosts... More

We enjoyed our few days here in this small family run hotel. It is very centrally located for exploring much of Snowdonia. The people who run it are friendly and welcoming, yet always professional and helpful. We ate there each night as the village doesn't have an alternative with which we felt comfortable. Plentiful car parking available. The room was... More

From the minute you enter Elen's Castle Hotel to the time you depart the owners make you feel so welcome, its like being in a second home and the owners were part of the family. The food they serve there was top notch and if there was anything they could do to help you enjoy your meal better, they would... More

This inn is filled with great character and is very clean and well maintained. The owners were always on hand to help and everything is really well laid out. The rooms are comfortable and the beds are very comfortable. My wife and I wanted a couple nights away and found this place on the internet with a quick search. We... More

We spent a fantastic long weekend at this lovely family run hotel. We stayed in room 4 which consisted of a master bedroom with 4 poster bed and a small additional room with bunk beds which was ideal for our daughter. There was plenty of storage available in the main room and the views over the valley were breathtaking. Both... More

We were on holiday in Wales staying in Dolwyddelan, and for my wife's birthday decided to go here for a meal as it was only a 5 minute walk - but how disappointed were we! As we first walked it in wasn't very welcoming, we were asked to go through to the bar but the hostess was not particularly welcoming,... More

To anyone who has read this review - we hope that you read the other reviews and can therefore draw your own conclusions as to the type of people we are. It was obviously more important to these people for them to go and put a negative review on trip advisor rather than to make a polite complaint and give... More
