This was a lovely hotel good food and great spa and gym facilities.
The room (lodge) could have done with a mini fridge to help keep bottled water cold.

Hotel lovely spa could be better
Stayed here a few times. Usually a quick and friendly check in, was a bit slow this time. Would have been good to know adding spa access was only from check until midday on check-out day before booking.
Also, that Mondays a ‘bring your baby to pool day’. The first day we spent a couple of hours in the spa and it was so busy we could only use the pool. The second day was baby day and the hot-tub jacuzzi was broken. So, didn’t feel like the extra for the spa was worth it this time round.

Stayed in one of the lodge rooms after doing the Welsh Three peaks. Being able to park right outside the room was a really helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable, and the half price access to health spa was a real bonus. Will be staying again

What a lovely experience
What a lovely calm hotel. Loved that it was just a short stroll from the necessaries, beautifully quiet location. Everything was easy and staff super friendly. Spa was spotless. Breakfast delicious, plenty of lovely choices, some fresh uncut bread would have have elevated it. One hundred per cent would stay again.

We stayed in an accessible superior lodge which offered lots of room to manoeuvre in my all-terrain powerchair. The staff were welcoming and friendly and so kind to my assistance dog. Overall a lovely spot to enjoy North Wales.
