I stayed here with two visitors from abroad and we all found it to be a pleasant experience. The bedrooms are very well appointed and clean. Sea view rooms are especially pleasant. The building is old and with character but has been renovated where appropriate. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was excellent with a wide choice. I note there... More

Stayed one night a Penhelig Arms and was shown to room 3 which was beautiful. A lovely big room which included seating arranged to show off the view of the bay through the window. The bed was really comfortable and the large bathroom a delight. Excellent meal in the bar that evening and a very comfortable sleep in the large... More

I have stayed here a number of times and the food is very good. If you are lucky enough to eat here do order the scallops. They are perfect - never over cooked; never under cooked! Great food and service.

My boyfriend booked this hotel for a birthday surprise. Disappointed with the lack of service where he normally stays he hopped on to late rooms and booked this one. Upon arrival we were welcomed by the staff who checked us in and directed us to our room. Room three was more like a suite than a standard double with views... More

As a large extended family with a property just minutes away from the Penhelig Arms, we are SO very disappointed to see the Penhelig Arms fall from being a superb busy service-led gastro pub & restaurant to no more than a downmarket bog-standard pub experience. Run previously by a team dedicated to delivering impeccable detail & fabulous food to both... More
