Pet-friendly BUT you need to know that the guesthouse is just a small part of a large caravan and camping site. There’s also a field of horses. Guesthouse clients with dogs are only allowed in rooms accessible from the outside; we weren’t allowed inside the building. So my room opened directly onto the access road, with all the mud and noise that comes from all the traffic, walkers, and horses that passed in front of the door and small window.
The staff can’t be criticised. There seemed to be only 2 that I saw, and they were very helpful. But the guesthouse clients were supposed to be self-checkin and out, except I was NOT notified of my room number or that my name would be on a big notice on the door which I drove past.
My room was clean on arrival but impossible to keep that way because of the mud, but I also had a small ant infestation, so couldn’t keep bags on the floor, but there was only the bed and a dining chair to put them on. I didn’t report the ant problem to the staff, because there was nowhere else for me to be moved, and I didn’t want the room treated whilst my stuff was in it. Description stated there was a terrace, but my room certainly didn’t have one. I assume that was where the door into the house was, because there was a small table and chairs outside the main door.
So I expect other reviews will depend on where they were situated. My room was a single, allowing dogs.

Breakfast scam

Be aware of breakfast. I booked 2 rooms including breakfast at £16 per person. After accepting booking I was told breakfast would be via a voucher for cafe in town (1 mile away). This is not what I wanted so I asked several times for the breakfast element to be refunded and the owners refused to do this. To add insult, the cafe voucher was value of £11 so a £5 immediate loss to me for the inconvenience and limitation of cafe food.
All I wanted and expected was breakfast to be refunded (before I arrived and discovered this) and I would have left a positive review but the customer service has left me bitter and it is simply not necessary.

Such was the quiet we experienced, both of us slept like logs which was particularly welcome since we were on a pairs golf trip and needed our rest! Plenty of hot water in the shower, comfortable beds and decent coffee & tea making facilities for the morning get go. A definite mapping marker a return visit one day.

Lovely property and surrounds. Room clean, warm and comfortable.
We chose to stay at this B and B out of several properties at the same price as it included breakfast ( confirmed in our booking email as advertised)
On arrival there was a laminated note left in the room advising breakfast was not being served currently. There was however a voucher for £5 for a local cafe which wouldn’t even cover the cost of 2 coffees.
If we’d have known in advance that breakfast was not included we would have booked elsewhere.
Disappointing as it really was a lovely location

A tidy guest house with reasonable spec. Very clean.

One thing to note is that it is said to be 'pet friendly' on hotels.com but in fact this is only partially the case. Some rooms are in the house and dogs are not allowed in these - so best to check first.

We would stay again - it is handy for Dolgellau and Barmoth.

Didn’t seem like a 4 star guesthouse

I know this Hotel guesthouse has many great reviews, but we didn‘t feel like it was an 4 star guesthouse. The good things first. Everything was clean and the location is quite and beautiful. The shower was more powerful than imagined it to be for an old cottage. The not so good was that we hardly slept as the mattress was just too soft for us and every little move you made woke up your partner. Breakfast wasn’t very tasty, with cheap tasting sausages. You would of expected better quality sausages in a place that has 4 stars. One day the big tea pod had only one teabag in it, which made the tea taste week. Staff didn’t bother to ask if everything was OK. Eggs were undercooked. Muffins that were available, not sure how old they were but they tasted stale on our first day, and they remained on display for another 3 days. We used our towels more than once. Hang them up, but when we needed new towels we threw them on the floor as instructed by a sign, but they never got changed. It was too late in the day to do anything about it. Maybe our expectations were just too high for a 4 star establishment.

Characterful stay

Attractive longhouse style building in a nice location on a farm which also caters for caravans and tents. We stayed in the main house where the upstairs rooms are accessed by a staircase that has an awkward turn/step at the top making it a little tricky for those with mobility problems. Only stayed for one night, but a very characterful house with perfectly adequate facilities.

Recently stayed here and would never return.
The lady who cleaned our room threw our pets medication away and then when she retrieved it from the bin ask “are you happy now”.
Breakfast was also horrendous. £7 for scrambled egg and a piece of toast?
Also when I went to hand the keys back one night early at around 7pm they were cooking the breakfast for the next day.
Absolutely disgraceful and seriously not worth £233 pound for 3 nights.
