Satisfactory Stay in Snowdonia

breakfast choicefruit juiceyorkshire puddingample veg
The included breakfast had various choices. It had cereals, fruit juice, and a tasty full fry up. I ate a very large meal one night. The meal included a giant Yorkshire pudding. It was filled with creamy mash, pork, sausage, apricot stuffing, ample veg, and gravy.
The room lacked total blackout options. This meant the room became very bright early. It did impact sleep quality.

Staff were amazing and helpful . Breakfast was varied and included options for all tastes. I booked a single room. It could easily fit a double bed, maintaining perfect proportions. The hotel is dog friendly, offering dog treats at reception plus a water bowl was given.
The single room just fit the proportions of the room.

The breakfast was quite good. It did have plenty of options.
The room felt small. Room 23 was like a cupboard under the stairs from a book i read once. the room also had not been properly cleaned. I saw the last occupant's rubbish was still in the bin. i even spotted cut toenails on the floor.
