Penhelig Arms

Had a lovely stay after a bit of bumpy start for not getting a warmest welcome that would ahve made

Beautiful location and fabulous rooms, suites with sea views. Book the suite as includes parking as car park up road is £15 24hrs. I would recommend upper suite as was awake at 6:30 with upstairs banging about. Staff lovely, good choice of drinks & food. Scenic walks and the beach is gorgeous. Be careful if you buy an icecream as the seagulls will take it out of your hand! We had a lovely chilled break. Highly recommend.

This is a beautiful hotel/pub with a breath taking view over the Dyfi estuary. Set in cottages built in 1750s it has lovely nooks and crannies and quirky floor levels but the beds and bathroom are all first class. Notes worth knowing, the Hotel is 100 yards from the Penhelig request train stop but the hotel does not have a carpark. There is a public carpark around the corner at £15.75 a day or a few on road parking free 6pm to 9am.

Nice hotel. Stayed in small dog friendly double room on second floor which had a view over the sea. Although we were on the main road. It was very quiet in the evening & overnight so we slept quite well. Unfortunately, we found that we couldn't close the blind as the mechanism seemed to be stuck. Therefore, the light shone through the sides of the window causing the room to be lighter than we would have liked. Luckily, I had a sleep mask with me but my husband woke early as the room was so bright. Although the room was compact we still had enough room to move around & had a good sized on suite. The room was very warm as it was a sunny day & the room seemed to get a lot of sunlight. Good in the winter but I imagine it could get very hot in the summer. Although we didn't have breakfast at the hotel we did enjoy a meal in the bar where they had a dog friendly area. We both enjoyed the burgers. It was nice that they offered gluten free burger buns. We had a good overnight stay & would stay again if we were travelling in that area.

There were power cuts in the village which caused a multitude of problems for the staff but they went the extra mile and did everything they could to make all the guests as comfortable as possible. On that basis alone, we would highly recommend.

Restraint had good food. Parking outside the hotel. Staff so helpful.

What a gem of a small, cosy hotel! I booked a small double, but we were upgraded to a suite with a sea view, as it was my daughters birthday. Beautifully clean, with white fluffy towels, toiletries, tea, coffee and a fridge! The staff go above and beyond to make your stay more comfortable....very friendly, helpful, kind and very generous. My daughter was provided with a birthday cake, which i asked for their help for shopping for one as a surprise for my daughter.....they didn't even charge me for this ! Biscuits and sausage for our dog, again, not charged! Outstanding customer focused services.....we've never received such great hospitality. Thank you to Jasmine, Morgan and Autumn for making our stay extra special, we really appreciated it xx

Perfect location. Fabulous room. Fantastic sleep. Delicious breakfast. Staff were lovely hosts.

Room was snug, and lovely and warm. Staff were helpful, and fresh milk provided on request. Food was typical ‘pub grub’ and drinks expensive compared to other bars in the town. However, on returning to our room after housekeeping had been to attend to our room, it had been left open/not locked. On the 2nd day, housekeeping arrived without knocking whilst we were still in bed!!!! Some things that need to be addressed! But overall lovely stay.

Room was great , hotel overall was great . Medium annoyance is doors closing loudly early morning and most of the evening.

Room (suite) was lovely with great views - well would have been without other guests being inconsiderate. Two cars were parked outside our suite despite parking available behind the suites. I phoned reception to speak about this and asked if the guests could be contacted to move them. They said it was hard to determine who the cars belonged to (despite only 4 suites and we were in one). They would try and get bk to us. They didn’t and the cars were still blocking our beautiful view in the morning - such a shame. Dogs barking upstairs throughout the night - so irritating and kept us awake. Room facilities, size and comfort very good. Bathroom was big and very modern. Beautiful area with lovely walks . Would we come back- no probably not. Definitely come and stay in the area though. Lovely fish and chips on the sea front!

Room spotless, staff lovely and food great ,lovely experience

The room was clean and nice. Very comfortable bed. One minus was that the shower was cold

Good clean spacious room

Great room, and an amazing setting. Only things stopping it getting that perfect rating are the food (evenings) which is not great, not terrible but could be much better. And the bar which at times can be lifeless.

Always a nice relaxed stay !

Everything about the stay was excellent

The check in was quick and easy, the room was superb and plenty big enough with a writing desk, coffee table and chairs and a superb bathroom complete with a bath. I dined in the evening, the food was first class, as was the service. Breakfast was also excellent. One minor criticism is that an omelette was the same price as a full English. I had that as I wasn't hungry enough for a full fry up but didn't want continental. Parking outside is also problematic. There is some short term parking very close but the main car park is a few minutes walk away and 'pay and display' so the cost of that needs to be factored in to the overall cost of a night stay. Overall I would recommend it and be happy to stay there again.

the room was spotless and the staff were very attentive and courteous

Friendly welcome and the room was fantastic with a fab view. Great value too!
