Fabulous stay

Reviewed By David K

We were in the Peacock Suite for a special occasion. It was everything we'd hoped it would be. The restaurant was superb, with lovely staff. In fact most of the staff were friendly and helpful. And Portmeirion itself, of course, was enchanting. We'll definitely be back.

The Inn is within easy walking distance to the town centre, and the famous 13th-century Castle. An old Inn dating back to 1522 and with its wooden paneling, low ceilings, and thick wooden support beams generates a cosy 'Olde Worlde' Welsh atmosphere.

Short break away , amazing quality

Reviewed By Peanutphoenix

A surprisingly pleasant little hotel. The room we had had much more space than anticipated and a massive, comfy bed ! ( I think we struck lucky with a disabled room so got the extra space) The room came with a little kitchen and fridge etc so you could take your own food and stuff without relying on local amenities. Everything was lovely and clean and the staff were friendly . Breakfast was included and dam was it good food ! If you stay in this area and need somewhere good to stay I strongly advice here ! Staff are friendly , everything is well kept and the food is delicious! Only downside is parking is charged per night or you have to park around the corner on a public car park which is free between 10pm and 10am

We look forward to returning again to this wonderful hotel.

We called at the hotel yesterday to finalise a booking we had made for my partners parents . We were met and warmly welcomed as soon as we entered the car park. All staff that we encountered were extremely friendly and we were offered refreshments whilst we waited to finalise the booking. We were given a tour of the hotel which is beautiful and Peter was very informative and extremely helpful . My partners parents are visiting next week so we can rest assured that they will be very well looked after . Thank you in advance.

YHA Idwal Cottage

Stay below the impressive Glyder mountains with views of the Nant Ffrancon Valley at this former quarry manager’s cottage. Recently refurbished and great for families, you can be sure of a warm welcome at this environmentally-conscious hostel. All levels of walks can be found in the immediate area, and you won’t need to travel far for world-class mountain bike trails. It’s perfectly placed for strolls to see Rhaeadr Ogwen Waterfalls or Cwm Idwal nature reserve (with its dramatic lake) and Devil’s Kitchen.

A gem.

Reviewed By Nadege R

A little gem nestled in an awesome location with its own private car park (glad it has its own otherwise parking would be a problem). It’s ideally located for walkers to discover the Ogwen Valley or to venture to Anglesey or Snowdon. The hostel itself is a little beauty, I had the single bedroom. Perfect for solo travellers or families. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Unusal customer service

Reviewed By Sightseer817875

Not sure how many times I have been around the world however this is the first time that *any* establishement refused to accept a booking over the counter and insisted I book online. Their website was somewhat defective on my phone so I had to sit in the car and retry booking on another device. Truely innovative customer service. Other than that the place is pretty average, a bit grubby on the outside.

A great hotel.......BUT........

Reviewed By An_Old_Burian

We have stayed at the Celtic Royal previously and were happy to return. The hotel is well situated, we asked for the same room as before because it was so pleasant - and they obliged - and the staff are generally very helpful............BUT there is a problem in the restaurant with staff awareness of how to deal with allergies. On the first evening we told that waiter of an allergy that one of us suffered - the starter was "fine" but the main course came without attention being paid to the allergy.....which subsequently resulted in both our "mains" being incorrect and our being served separately. The 2nd night they were alert to the problem and everything was good........but on the 3rd night, with a change in staff, we were back to chaos. They finally got to grips with the issue and nights 4 and 5 were problem free.........BUT they clearly have a training issue in the restaurant (we don't think it extended to the kitchen) since if they don't know how to deal with allergy issues, then there could be some very serious consequences
