+ Lots of character, comfy beds, and clean. Staff were lovely. - Breakfast was over priced for what it was. We were also a victim of very hot weather and and old building without air conditioning! It was very hot, a fan was provided but not strong enough unfortunately.

Room seemed quite dark as it was down some steps (Room 31) but on reflection this was a blessing as it was 30degrees outside. Fan was already in the room and we made the most of this and it was enough to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. Room and bathroom clean. Staff very welcoming.

+ Wonderful pub-style hotel restaurant. This means it's a bit of a narrow, narrow building. Friendly staff. Lovely pub atmosphere. Delicious food. Nice room. Comfortable bed. Free parking. EV charging facilities. - The breakfast dishes, while delicious, were definitely a bit too generous.

Very very good food. No complaints at all. The lamb shank had a lot of meat on the bone and the fish was huge 10/0

Great pub in a good location. Good menu and plenty of tables inside and out. We all had the chicken curry and we all enjoyed them. Fish and chips looked good too. Was near the castle. This was our second or third visit. We will call again next time we are in Caernarfon

It was traditional, which is sometimes hard to find, and good! The only downside was ordering via app; you barely have any contact with the staff, which is a shame, as the atmosphere is less welcoming!
