Penhelig Arms

8/10 Good
"We had a lovely stay at The Penhelig Arms in a beautiful location. The food was good, even for gluten free. Excellent options all round. We couldn't fault the staff even if there weren't many on shift. However, the showers could have been better as water leaked out the door, (some re-sealant would have helped) and two of the window handles were either broken or we couldn't open the window. The fridge also wasn't cleaned. It did not look clean at all. One of the slabs was loose near the room and just need cementing down. The railway station was literally a 1 minute walk away. A beautiful line to travel on. Would I stay there again? Yes."

"Lovely location and room was nice too. Handy having bar and restaurant onsite, with little beer garden at the side to enjoy the nice views. Really liked the little touches like the nice toiletries to use in the bathroom and locally made yoghurt at breakfast and decor in the rooms. Breakfast was very good, especially the laid out continental part. About 5 minutes drive into Betws-y-coed which is a lovely little town. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!"
