I had hoped i would be able to get a roll, or sandwich in the evening. Admittedly, i only asked for some crisps, as it appeared there was no service, as such, in the evening. The breakfast was good & the room clean & comfortable. However, it would be better to make sure that everything in the room is secure & not left for the customer to discover!!!

Not as advertised despite some glowing? reviews.
I really do not like writing negative reviews. Particularly when the owners of the B&B are such friendly people and the accommodation is one of the least expensive at £246 for two nights in a popular holiday destination. Even so with the best will in the world it is difficult to recommend this establishment.l find it difficult to accept that there are people calling it exceptional. There is not enough room here to say everything so I have completed a google review which you can check out. In my experience it is not “4 star” and not “upmarket” it is a poor B&B with great possibilities for the future.
Looks very nice from outside but.

A lovely little hotel. We were welcomed at the entrance and shown where our room was. Nice, spacious family room for the four of us. Hotel looks a little dated but is clean and cosy. Lovely breakfast in the morning with plenty of hot and cold options.

Traditional B&B
Clean and freshly painted with new curtains and throws. Friendly hosts and good cooked breakfast. This is a traditional seaside B&B. Old but solid furniture ... but what's wrong with that? They could've replaced it with modern flimsy mdf cupboards but much more eco friendly to retain the retro feel and I enjoyed the cream corner bath and gold plated taps.

I first booked a 2 night stay and then telephoned the hotel to stay another night and was upgraded to the four poster bedroom, that was really nice and such a large bathroom for me as a solo guest. However i asked about evening meals and was told there was a restaurant, fish and chips and a shop a few minutes walk away. I had been travelling nearly 3 hrs and was quite tired, but walked to the restaurant about 7.30pm to find they had run out of food ! So i had to have fish and chips. By the way they only serve food in the restaurant until 8.30pm! It took me a good 20 minutes to walk back to the hotel. Also on arrving at the hotel you have to manage the gates to cross the train line! Overall it was a comfortable stay because fortunately i had the upgrade room. However i wished I'd seen the reviews before booking and would have cancelled, and realised it didnt do evening meals. Nice friendly family though.

Poor value
Basic and dated decor. Cleanliness issues. Everything on the hot breakfast was cold except for the egg. Disappointing, considering the rating on hotels.com website

We had a pleasant enough stay, using the hotel - more a B&B - as a base for the coast and southern Snowdonia national park. The property is immediately adjacent a station with a direct line to Birmingham New Street. Driving access is via an unmanned, gated level crossing. One key drawback is the absence of any proper eateries in the evening for many miles around, and nothing at the hotel. For the present owners this seems to be a work in progress. The building is a former pub with original bar. The carpets must be 50-60 years old and there is a damp and musty smell throughout. The hosts were pleasant and accommodating, and breakfast was good. However our room was not serviced over our three day stay except for emptying the waste paper basket. Used cups were left for three days. We made our own beds and clearly dirty towels left for changing were not. We could not suggest this was child friendly.

The hotel has character and a unique sense of peace about it. It is energetically run by Richard and Jo Scully, the owners, who share a real vision for it and will stop at nothing to see it all happen. It is ideally situated in beautiful countryside, which makes it an exceptionally peaceful place to be. We will definitely be returning whenever we need our batteries recharging due to stress or fatigue. There are plenty of places to explore in the area, but simply enjoying the ambience of Cadwgan is simple enough without having to travel anywhere else.

We were msde to feel welcome from the outset, and the owners were very açcommodating with storing our bicycles on which we'd arrived. They are obviously refurbishing the house, so there is a bit of work in progress, but this did not detract from our good experience.

On arrival the first thing the owner said to me was “you have only booked for 1 person!! I arrived with my wife and admitted that I missed Expedias page to add a 2nd guest. We was then informed that we would have to pay an additional £25!!!! So £90 in total for room only! Even though breakfast is offered on Expedia there is none, making this a very expensive nights stay.

Very disappointing
On arrival asked what time We wanted breakfast (15 min slots) then called daughter to take us to our room. No information brochure in room. Went to breakfast the tables were bare. After 10 minutes was asked what we wanted though did not know what was available as no menu, so the chap stood and told us (as he had to with all newcomers). Another 15 minute wait before we were bought tea pot, milk 2 cups and toast. Also side plate with 2 knives, fork, tea spoon all tightly wrapped in cling film as was the sugar bowl. Then another 20 minutes before breakfast arrived. I then had to ask for sauce and...yes a wait for that to be brought (one day it did not arrive at all). There are only 7 bedrooms so why the long delays? It is a shame because the food was good with a good selection of cereals, fruit etc. and always plenty of toast. The place is very dated and the beds so uncomfortable. The other problem is room 5-8 are on the second floor and are reach by narrow, steep stairs and when arriving back at night there were no lights on the landing. Stayed for a week.

Peaceful bolt hole by the beach
What a great family run House Hotel. It is literally in the middle of nowhere, tranquil, peaceful, 15 minutes walk to the beach, 15 minutes drive into Barmouth. Sure the lack of evening meal is a pain (recommend Tony's pizza place!) and the squeeky floors, but the absolute silence is bliss. It was so lovely just sat at the bar, don't think I mentioned they have a big bar area chatting was fab and they have such a lovely family. Breakfast ... wow, full on big English breakfast!!! They really couldn't do enough to make sure I had a good stay. I'd recommend leaving your car on the other side of the railway crossing to make it easier. There is a big play area outside for those moments where you want to chill out outside and keep an eye on the kids playing. Would I return ... yes, and I am planning another escape already. The beaches nearby are so clean, a bit breezy and yes, there is a naturist bit if that's your thing. It's all just such an amazing part of Wales. I will go back for sure !!

Location is fantastic. Rooms have lovely views and are very clean. We went with two children under four and it accommodated us well with good play area, beach and train station within walking distance and spacious bedroom and bathroom. The new owners are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble if you ask. It might get busy at times and you have too wait but that’s because of its location and its only a small bed and breakfast. It was very clear on booking and when there that there was no food served other than breakfast for residents so not sure why people are complaining. It’s a little gem and once the new owners have settled in and made the necessary changes I am sure food will be served in the future. We will definitely return. Thank you for a lovely stay.
