We emailed through our pre-order a few days before and when we arrived, we had a lovely private room. The food arrived quickly and was delicious - we had their Sunday Roast platters, which has a selection of 3 meats and lots of vegetables. The drink selection was good, with plenty of wines and beers to choose from to accompany the meal, as well as soft drinks and at £9 a head, the food was excellent value. We will be definitely be returning!

The chicken wings were the only item that was lacking - the taste was good, but they weren't cooked long enough - very tough to break apart. They need some lessons from us across pond. They were also way to soaked in bb cue sauce - but the delightful service from 3 different servers and the great ale made up for it.

This hotel is breathtaking and was the culminating memory of our time in Snowdonia National Park…read more We were visitors from New York and couldn't have asked for a more cozy dining experience in their outdoor patio, with scones and tea that I still dream about. The hotel is nestled on a gorgeous lake that offers breathtaking views of Snowdonia's mountains and green valleys. Even in the end of Fall when we visited, the soothing fog enveloped the lake which made for an enchanting experience. The manager Malcolm, himself, swims in the lake in most seasons. Malcolm and his entire staff always went out of their way to accommodate our group. This is a must-visit spot owned by wonderful and caring people. I couldn't give this hotel a higher review and I truly look forward to our next visit.

We spent three nights there and were impressed with the location, the food, the welcome. This…read morehotel is under new management since 2016 and it has been refurbished to provide comfortable contemporary accomodation. The pictures you see in the booking sites are a good likeness of what is there. It is secluded and has great views over the lake (which they also own). Not all rooms have views of the lake. Our room was small, but fresh and comfortable with an excellent ensuite. There are plans to restock the lake for fly fishing. Would certainly go there again. We had dinner three times and every meal was excellent. The only downside is wifi performance - which is dire, but you might consider that an advantage!

The Tyn-y-Groes Hotel is an old coaching Inn on the A470 North of Dolgellau…read more The building is old and has character, but unfortunately that is the end of it's charms. It does have free WiFi (mainly in the bar) which is useful. The double room was a decent size and adequate. The shower was good once you have waited for several minutes for the water to come through hot. Funnily enough the two main meals had a problem with heat too: one was just about warm enough whilst the other was extremely hot presumably due to inconsistent use of the microwave. The food was edible, but of varying quality. We were on a deal that included a free bottle of wine. When we tried to pick a bottle of wine we were told it was just the house wine, so we went with the house red which ended up being Silver Bay Point, an English wine made from Grape Concentrate. It tasted 'thin' with little flavour so I studied the label, at 8% it is the weakest wine I can remember seeing. The price of this wine in the hotel was £13.95, Tesco sell it by the case for £2.85 a bottle, so now I understand why it isn't very nice, and with a 489% mark-up I know I'm being ripped off. The breakfast seemed to consist of the cheapest available ingredients, deep-fried wherever possible and served with a pullet egg. The second day I just had bacon and poached eggs, one egg was hard boiled and the other was quite firm, but I suspect it is difficult to get the timing right with such small eggs. The main problem is that the service is variable at best because the staff seem slow and disinterested. It is the ONLY hotel I've stayed at in over 30 years that doesn't make up your room unless you put the little sign on the outside of your hotel room to say please make up room: no sign, no room maintenance. When the note said if you want your room servicing put the sign on the door I wrongly presumed this was in addition to the normal daily service, it wasn't. The hotel is some distance from Dolgellau or anywhere else for that matter, but the busy A road means that the rooms can be noisy. There is parking off on the side of the road, but you do need to be careful because the A470 is a fast road. My advice is avoid, poor value for money.
