We stopped here yesterday and had a beautifully cooked Sunday Dinner. The food was excellent and the pub was beautifully furnished and maintained. We had a waitress called Cadi, my gosh was she good at her job. Working bi lingually, she was polite, patient and organised. She had everyone's drinks and meals in here head, along with reservations and table planning. She was VERY impressive.

Beautiful please to stop for a spot of lunch. Ideally situated for a quick sprint down to Barmouth or a walk up the hills this is a lovely little place for lunch.

We had a great experience here last week. Lovely and well appointed room, and good dinner and an exceptional breakfast. The smoothie was wonderful. Will definitely return.

My husband and I went there for a dinner as we had heard a lot of this restaurant and wanted to try this and it didn't disappoint us. We had only the mains and the portions were good, the fish was not all batter but was a meaty fish. Service was quick, overall a good experience and I would definitely recommend this place.
