Plas Isa Hotel

8/10 Good

"all good very hospitable family. Maybe need a lamp on bedside table. Lovely views sitting watching from bedroom."

Celtic Royal Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"I'd give 5 stars however, we had rude customer service in the bar area, the room was not very functional, and there were very few amenities - no shampoo nor soap for the shower. The bathroom sink handles were difficult to crank to turn the water on. Then, to turn the water off, you had to use your clean fingers to touch the dirty handles and crank them a bunch to shut the water off....Anyone see a problem here? Not functional. The bathroom was large however it needed another towel rack and more than 1 hand towel. There was nowhere to set our toiletries; good thing I did not have makeup to apply. Not functional. The soap dispenser was VERY impractical - it wasted soap and you couldn't tell how much soap was left. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was decent....Not ideal for someone with food allergies, though, as it's a buffet. It was VERY loud in the dining area - we were there for Monday and Tuesday breakfasts. The evening front desk person was very nice. The complementary cookies were so stale, even though they were not expired per the packaging. Dinner is only served til 8:30pm (and by reservation) so coming back late from sight seeing and needing dinner did not bode well for us. Insert the poor service in the bar area."

The Royal Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, helpful and polite staff, would definitely return"

Black Boy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Just a amazing hotel"

Lion Hotel and Studio Apartments

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in an apartment with our three children. It was lovely and clean and perfect for us. We had two double beds in the living room and still plenty of space, and a separate bedroom with another double bed and the bathroom. The apartment was really well stocked with cutlery and plates cups etc. No issues with anything the apartment was really tidy and clean. The breakfast was lovely and staff very helpful. Good selection of cereals, pastries, fresh fruit and yoghurt. The hot selection was plentiful and tasty. Really good location not far from local amenities and a pebble beach, quick drive to portmadog."

Aberdunant Hall

10/10 Excellent

"We’ve just come home from an excellent stay at Aberdunant Hall. The staff are amazing, the site is beautiful. We had a meal in the restaurant one night and pizza’s on the terrace whilst the children played in the park the next. We will definitely be retiring for another stay."
