Y Branwen Restaurant & Rooms - Adult Only and Dog Friendly

Nice property. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed the one night we stayed but the morning breakfast was good. At base of hill where harlech castle sits. Good exercise! Would recommend.

Quiet family meal to celebrate a 60th birthday whilst on holiday. This is a lovely restaurant, hidden below Harlech Castle. To add, 2 lovely, well behaved dogs! Great food, good quality drinks and superb customer service! Would recommend!

There was a very limited choice of ales, only lagers and bottles. Food was well cooked and tasty, but really overpriced and small portions. For example, salmon, tomatoes and tender sweet broccoli was nearly £20!! Service was good and friendly

Not impressed. Poor value for money. Our friends paid for night at the high class bron eifion hotel in criccieth it was amazing. For a very similar price per night I had paid for two nights at this hotel all for our 70 th birthdays. I was embarrassed. There was no comparison. E.g choose breakfast on arrival and that’s what you got both days. Cereal was served up for you on the table . Small jugs of milk not enough for teas never mind cereal. When we asked for more milk the owner jokingly said do you all work for the milk marketing board. Not funny. The number of times we had to ask for more milk was embarrassing. Cooked breakfast very good quality. No fruit juice. All very managed like it was done on a strict budget. Ordered first drinks asked if we wanted singles or doubles Said it’s husbands birthday a double. Then continued to be sold doubles making a heavy bar bill. Food and wine prices exceptionally high for a hotel of this standard. 3 gins each, With two sides, 4 mains, 1 pudding and £35 bottle of wine, cheapest on menu which was heavily sedimented like a layer of paper on bottom. £284. Rooms not cheap. Second night didn’t eat in hotel. Returned 8 ish to find all locked up no bar for nightcap or anything. To be honest for the amount I paid it was a joke.

Our stay was brilliant from beginning to end. Friendly staff and even friendlier dogs. The room was spacious and well kept with plenty of teas, coffees etc and a coffee maker. Breakfast was really good with a good selection of options. The hotel is situated in a great spot close to the beach and the village with plenty of parking which seems to be at a premium in Harlech. I’m not sure who some of the people giving bad reviews of the hotel on here were dealing with but it was definitely nothing like they made it out to be. No arrogance, no rudeness or bad attitudes. Just happy helpful staff that made our stay welcoming and really enjoyable. I would guess that keyboard warriors are impossible to please and very vocal with their negativity. To quote Arnold Schwarzenegger “I’ll be back”

Hospitality redifined A 3-night stay. This ‘Hotel’ has an unorthodox approach to ‘Hospitality’ and is run for the convenience of the owners, not the guests. On booking, take note of the ‘nonrefundable’ terms – so no economic escape to alternative accommodation. Hotel? Closer description would be a B & B with food or pub with rooms. Short time frame for mealtimes. No comfortable lounge area, just a bar and restaurant. The bar may or may not be open. Depends upon the owner’s whim. The one meal we ate was good, pricey for what it was, and the drinks were eye watering London Hotel prices. Breakfast good, but nouvelle cuisine size. Bedrooms not serviced during stay. The hotel is clean. The Kingsize bed was comfortable, the bedroom spacious, the walls are paper thin and the plumbing noisy. Poor value
