Pure holiday nostalgia.

The staff are what makes this hotel feel special. Great sense of humour! And good beer in the bar.

The stairs are steep for a 90yo. Didn't seem so hard 40 years ago!

it was ok served a purpose

location bar and friendly staff

could be a bit cleaner??? bit of a revamp on the rooms maybe, surf and turf was like eating a leather sole and breakfast I asked for brown toast and mixed and then I asked for scrambled egg and got fried and I was the only one eating nothing that wouldn’t stop me coming again but would be nice if you could step up a bit on those areas. get some home made meals in too

enjoyed the area from a good location

the view from the front of the property is stunning and the staff were friendly

a bit tired looking and could do with a bit of tlc car parking would be a problem at busy times.

Good location, nice big room, staff friendly but not aware that you were actual staying guests

Lovely large room with a sea view

The staff were friendly, but didn't seemed to know you were a resident. Few dark hairs in the bathroom (not ours)

Nice but looking jaded!

The location is great, being close to the pay and display car park around the corner. The sea views are excellent from the front rooms and the terrace they have opposite. The bar and restaurant were very cosy which would be great in the winter.

It’s looking very tired both inside and out. I can only imagine it’s a shadow of its former self. There didn’t appear to be many staff on either considering it was a bank holiday, and paying for drinks seemed to be a very long winded process which slowed things down even further.

great staff, location and comfortable room

location excellent - this was our second stay in ten years

the food on offer for vegetarians was v limited - I expected them to ask me if they were able to cook me something simple like a pasta or a risotto, but I was told what was on the menu was what they could offer. customer is certainly not king these days

Nice location, shame about the manager. Stay clear!

Location is excellent and a handful of the staff were really pleasant, especially a young girl who had only been there for less than a month.

Food was very greasy. Bar service poor, at times rude and unhelpful, manager sloppy and unkempt. So many of the clients ended up having free glasses of wine because they had complained. Manager unable to handle complaints and ended up shouting uncontrollably.

Atmosphere, home comforts and food all perfect.

The food was AMAZING - so so good, with lovely vegetarian options and the best veggie breakfast I've ever had! Really lovely staff and a great atmosphere, even though they were short-handed on the evening.

Nothing. This was a great place to stay and we'll definitely be back.

visiting family in Aberdovey

The breakfast was superb. I thoroughly enjoyed the Cockles and laverbread. What a treat. We didn't have an evening meal, but could see that the food coming out of the kitchen looked very good.

Unfortunately there was a fridge or fan of somesort in the bar underneath our bedroom. This kept cutting in and out every 10 minutes or so during the night which was very disturbing as, not only could it be heard, but the vibrations could be felt through the pillow.

Excellent spot to take in the views and be near the Town.

Great location, large size living area with sizeable bathroom with bath and shower. It was great to have parking next to Hyde apartments.Excellent views of the estuary . Great food at the Penhelig very helpful and courteous staff.

Some of the furnishings in both the apartment and pub could do with replacing. Outside seating area used to be more appealing. Some TLC and a good sprucing up required.

Perfect break for a family of four. The bathroom and living space were huge!!!

Loved the location, the view from our suite was amazing and the one issue we had (a window wouldn’t shut) was promptly dealt with by Alisha. Fantastic stay with my family right in the seafront.

Our original room had a broken window, however it was dealt with very effectively by Alisha. Excellent

Claustrophobic room but nice view of estuary

Good view of the estuary and good choice of drinks

Bedroom was cramped and uncomfortable with hardly any circulation space. The room was hot and noisy from the road so didn't sleep well and left early. The small size of the bed is not comfortable for 2 people.The hotel rate is overpriced and expensive for what you get.

Exceptional

The rooms are gorgeous and staff are friendly and accommodating. It’s such a lovely location.

It’s a shame that it’s just all ‘Wetherspoons style’ pub grub now. The restaurant used to be amazing and lots of fresh fish specials by the sea. It’s not what it used to be to eat there it’s the same as the dovey inn really which is a shame.
