Perfect choice
Clean hotel with good choice of food. Breakfast was plentiful and a great choice. Bed was a little too soft for me but room was warm and comfortable. Location was excellent for walking Eryri and using the mountain railway.

Lovely location near Llyn Padarn, next to Snowdon Mountain railway. Nice public areas and gardens, although a little bit faded in some places. Room was ok, but shower room very cramped and nowhere to put anything. Good breakfasts with wide choice.

Great hotel ideally located for Snowdon
Nice hotel, room fairly small but perfect for the one night stop over I needed. Nice bathroom and comfy bed. Food at the bar was good and breakfast excellent. Will return when next in the area.

Excellent location
Fabulously convenient location for the Snowdon railway and great views too. Good room in the separate coach house. Excellent breakfast. Wonderful view from the window seats in the restaurant if you can get a table there.
