All weather seasons in two days !

Was a comfortable stay this time stayed at this hotel for 3 years around early July following our four day stay at Llangollen for music and dancing eistetord festival. We enjoyed seaside views at molwyn we experienced all seasons in 3 days super hot and calm seaside but then storm rough sea and windy luckily we were equipped with ski clothing in July in wales layers on clothes and air conditioning in car for cooling in sunshine afternoon’s. Nice icecream van and fish and chips available in walking range. Steve and Jo made us very welcome.

Comfortable room with a lovely view from the 2nd floor via a skylight which was ideal for keeping the room cool on a very warm night. Excellent shower, large towel, all areas very clean and tidy. Steve was very helpful, would stay again.

Disappointing, but not entirely owners fault

Hotel was not as described online. The telephone number was incorrect and we were unable to make contact with the hotel. The restaurant was non-existent and the TV had no channels even after tuning.

This is in an excellent location and we found it good value for money. There were no staff on reception and it took a while to find someone but we had complicated matters by following behind someone else. There was actually a buzzer and a mobile number on the door which we had not seen. When we located staff member, she was very pleasant and helpful.

The Moelwyn may have been a wonderful seaside Hotel and Restaurant years ago, but it is no longer. There is no restaurant, no breakfast. The ocean view room we were given was a sweltering hot attic room with a slit to see the ocean from if you climbed onto a wooden box.
