It was perfect for our stay. Firstly, it was only 5 minutes walk from Harlech Railway station, which was great as we came by train (the ride in along the coast is gorgeous by the way). It is also very convenient for the amazing beach, the wonderful castle & the bustling little town & shops. Our room was clean, quiet & a good size, with a lovely view of the castle. I had the best sleep I've had for a while. The staff were helpful & friendly & gave us good tips about the local area. Also, just to add we booked a meal on the first night, which was delicious, and we had tasty breakfasts every day cooked to order. Would definitely come again.
Nice property. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed the one night we stayed but the morning breakfast was good.
At base of hill where harlech castle sits. Good exercise!
Would recommend.
Very doggy friendly hotel. Friendly staff. Made our dog very welcome.
Comfy bed. Room was clean. Lovely location.
Food was nice but not cheap.
Quality over quantity so this pushed the bill up as we had pudding too.
The accommodation was dated but clean. The owner I found to be blasé and not very customer orientated. Whilst I appreciate the dog friendly ambience, having large dogs on the restaurant floor seemed a bit much. Not my favourite place tbh.

The owners are very kind. The room was clean. Bed is so comfortable. However, check in is very restrict and late. The hotel was closed when we arrived and we couldn’t even leave the luggage there. It’s in front of the road and railway, which means it’s very noisy. The neighbourhood is very poor for food. Most of the places close at 8 pm for dinner.
A 3-night stay.
This ‘Hotel’ has an unorthodox approach to ‘Hospitality’ and is run for the convenience of the owners, not the guests. On booking, take note of the ‘nonrefundable’ terms – so no economic escape to alternative accommodation.
Hotel? Closer description would be a B & B with food or pub with rooms.
Short time frame for mealtimes. No comfortable lounge area, just a bar and restaurant. The bar may or may not be open. Depends upon the owner’s whim.
The one meal we ate was good, pricey for what it was, and the drinks were eye watering London Hotel prices. Breakfast good, but nouvelle cuisine size.
Bedrooms not serviced during stay.
The hotel is clean. The Kingsize bed was comfortable, the bedroom spacious, the walls are paper thin and the plumbing noisy.
Poor value
Not impressed. Poor value for money.
Our friends paid for night at the high class bron eifion hotel in criccieth it was amazing.
For a very similar price per night I had paid for two nights at this hotel all for our 70 th birthdays. I was embarrassed.
There was no comparison.
E.g choose breakfast on arrival and that’s what you got both days. Cereal was served up for you on the table . Small jugs of milk not enough for teas never mind cereal. When we asked for more milk the owner jokingly said do you all work for the milk marketing board. Not funny. The number of times we had to ask for more milk was embarrassing. Cooked breakfast very good quality. No fruit juice. All very managed like it was done on a strict budget.
Ordered first drinks asked if we wanted singles or doubles Said it’s husbands birthday a double. Then continued to be sold doubles making a heavy bar bill.
Food and wine prices exceptionally high for a hotel of this standard. 3 gins each, With two sides, 4 mains, 1 pudding and £35 bottle of wine, cheapest on menu which was heavily sedimented like a layer of paper on bottom. £284.
Rooms not cheap.
Second night didn’t eat in hotel. Returned 8 ish to find all locked up no bar for nightcap or anything. To be honest for the amount I paid it was a joke.
Perfect location. Very dog friendly. Near to the beach and Snowdonia. Great food. Very nice people. Absolutely loved our stay. Would be our place to come back again to if we visit Snowdonia NP again.
Lovely stay. Please ignore any negative comments about the dogs (Kai & Storm) were extremely well behaved. The would lay quietly by the entrance to the dining room. The owner was entertaining & the food was good.
Next time we would love to stay longer. Old school quality. Top marks 👍

Two night stay in Harlech
Older hotel on the main road below the castle. Rooms are small but functional. Bed pretty good. Service was fine. If you don't like dogs this is not the hotel for you, however the owners dogs are beautiful.

Good stay, big bed room 5, tasty breakfast. On a Weds no food available & bar closed. Is on lower level to castle. We found Harlech to be very quiet in eve only Indian tandoori open, pub does not sell food. Lovely beach over the dunes

Supposed to be dog friendly but owners 2 huskies have free reign. Our dog was totally stressed by them. Harlech has little in the way of facilities and hotel was closed up around 9, no bar etc. We're booked in for 2 nights but just went home instead. Not worth the hassle to stay
Certainly a quirky establishment with many positive features. Don't know whether it can be classified as a hotel or a restaurant/pub with 7 rooms or simply a b&b. There is a regimented timetable for guests with little flexibility. Clearly the owner has a routine and its a like it or lump it attitude.
The food is excellent although a little overpriced. Clearly there is an excellent chef although the menu is limited including breakfast options.
Having spent the day walking in the area i was very disappointed to find the bar had already closed at 8.30pm. Clearly this is not a hotel that caters for its guests.
On the plus side the ladies serving breakfast were excellent.
