Y Branwen Restaurant & Rooms - Adult Only and Dog Friendly

My husband was playing golf in the area and we wanted to go somewhere that welcomed dogs. This place certainly welcomes dogs. Our Staffy was a bit nervous of the owners dogs to start but it didn’t take long for him to feel welcomed. Owners are very friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious… yes it is pricey but I don’t mind paying for quality. We will definitely go back if in the area

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.

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.

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

Two night stay in Harlech Older hotel on the main road below the castle. Rooms are small but functional. Bed pretty good. Service was fine. If you don't like dogs this is not the hotel for you, however the owners dogs are beautiful.

Lovely place Lovely place to stay, room was clean, staff were friendly and helpful and accommodating. Very good for dogs
