The staff were so friendly. The evening meal was just what we needed after a long journey, although a little expensive., but we were on holiday so expected to pay more. Breakfast was amazing and set us up for the day. Beds were very comfortable and clean, we slept well. If we ever pass through Dolgellau again we would definitely stay here again.
