    Pool table was on the wonk!

    Communication and interaction from staff was amazing. We used this as our base to do zip world and snowdonia and it was perfect. The accommodation was quiet but crossed paths with people at breakfast. The breakfast was above our expectations and staff were SO nice and helpful. Will definitely be using in future snowdon trips.

    I had read there was a bar. As I was solo I had hoped to meet other guests and socialise in the bar but it wasn't open that weekend.

    Accessible and served at a reasonable time. They were also happy to cater for vegetarian.

    Showers were a little hit and miss. Some warmer and more powerful than others. Could just be the size and age of the property and plumbing but would add more comfort. We liked that towels were provided though!

    Lots of leisure spaces: dining room, adult living room with bar, student lounge, games room etc. that are great for entertaining big groups. Good facilities for outdoorsy people, e.g. the drying room and outdoor taps and brushes for cleaning boots.

    The room and bed was comfortable, and there is plenty of space in the facility. For a hostel, the room had more hotel like facilities with tea and coffee etc. The staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with plenty on offer. Its a good start to the day. Also the dining area is spacious There are some really comfortable chairs which you can relax in after a long day

    WOW, this place exceeded all my expectations.

    The property was easy to find and near all facilities. A garage, shops and restaurants were all close by. The property was well maintained, clean and had all the necessary equipment and facilities for my stay. This was an impulsive trip and booked last minute. I had no expectations as the price was only £40 a night but wow, this place exceeded all my expectations. It was situated just off a main road so was very easy to get to. The house was fabulous and steeped in history which I was able to read about on the walls in the main hallways with lots of pictures too. Stunning surroundings, incredible facilities and open grounds which I took full advantage of wandering round. The Snowdrops and daffodils were beautiful. The staff were super helpful, friendly and attentive. The room was just what I needed. Clean, tidy, had everything I needed with a very comfortable bed and lovely and warm. Just what I needed after a day out and about on my motorbike. The staff helped me park my bike up in a safe place too. I was very impressed with the breakfast selection of cereals, fruit, yoghurts, breads and a full cooked breakfast too. All included in the £40 per night. The kitchen staff were amazing and I would do anything to get the secret recipe for the homemade muesli. (I wrote down the ingredients for my next shopping trip). Tea, coffee and milk etc were available in rooms and also in the dinning area. The lounge was very comfortable and there was access to an incredible library, games room, massive TV with access to the usuals; Netflix etc. Honestly, I can’t recommend this place more. I totally hit the jackpot with this booking. I would definitely recommend anyone to stay here and I will absolutely certainly be returning. Thank you so much to all the staff who made my stay comfortable. This is without doubt the best place I’ve stayed on a budget.

    The council need to repair and reopen that suspension bridge to the village as I am sure people will still walk across it when they have had a few drinks 😉

    It was lovely and warm inside the whole building they must spend a fortune heating the place.

    Excellent facility. Staff were so friendly especially the lady in the office . very friendly and smiling. the breakfast was very good. I stayed four nights and every morning the chef would have something new added to the breakfast , pancakes , cakes etc. On my last day the chef baked thsi lush moist cake to die for. The whole thing was just amazing. The grounds were amazing. the quietness of the place was just so reviving.

    Somewhere it was mentioned that there will be daily cleaning but we didn't realize that happened. It would be better if that had happened. The floors shall be carpet washed once.

    The stay is pleasant, nice place and very close to the town and many options for dinner close by. Also, the breakfast provided at the stay is excellent. We really enjoyed the stay and the breakfast!
