Gwesty Minffordd Hotel

Not stay here but just did a camping 3days 2nights near around and have dinner here two times that beef & chicken meal with Snowdonia Craft IPA. Fair price & nice staff. The restaurant also a bit old style & comfortable

This hotel is in a fabulous location and the hosts are welcoming and friendly. The rooms were very clean & comfortable, absolutely no complaints though there are no TV's if that is something you require. Food was good as were the drinks we had of an evening, but note, only bottled beers are available when out of season. However, the weather was a little chilly, maybe a ground frost at night. The hotel was very cold! The rooms had radiators that came on during the evening and went off probably around 9pm . . . and they were not very hot, giving the impression that the boiler water temperature was set low. There were fan heaters to be found in the wardrobe but they did little to raise the temperature to a comfortable level. Certainly couldn't be left on during the day. The lounge areas were uncomfortably cold; the log burner is the most inefficient I have ever come across - was it no more than 4kw? And opening the vent didn't help because our host kept closing it. We had our evening meal sitting in coats - I had 3 layers and was still cold, we were all cold, 10 of us. On the 2nd night we ate elsewhere that was more comfortable. 2nd night in the lounge, sat around in coats with 3 fan heaters on, still cold. Just beware . . . . . . we wouldn't return.

Stayed for 4 nights with my Son for some Mach Loop photography. Hotel very clean & tidy, and the owner is friendly and hospitable. He regaled us with many a tale over a beer or two, and knowledgeable with all things Mach Loop related. Eat in the restaurant for two nights, the food was excellent and priced medium to high end. The cooked breakfast was of a high quality, just what you need in the mornings, plus a good choice of beverages, cereals, fruit and juices. The only word of caution I'll add is that the restaurant doesn't serve food on a Tuesday or Wednesday (apart from breakfast) so you will have to go elsewhere. There is nothing in walking distance therefore you will have to drive or get a taxi. The WiFi is sketchy at best, and there is no TV in the bedrooms due to lack of signal because of the surrounding hills.

Nice spot to stay for hiking in the area. Would stay again.

Great breakfast. Comfy bed. Amazing views. Would love to come back.

Great service, friendly, comfortable room, great food and beer.

We arrived quite late but was met by staff and shown to a very pleasant ground floor room. The road is right by the window only a hedge hides it from view luckily the road was fairly quiet but if busier this could be a problem. The view of the mountains opposite was very special though. No phone signal for us ...internet is a bit hit and miss in the room but just about workable....no tv which for some could be a down point but was ok by us. Breakfast timings were a bit harsh 0730 - 0830 but it was good .....we both had the full English ! Hotel was clean and we felt safe under the current conditions. Generally quiet due to restrictions hope it picks up for all concerned. We didn’t get chance to use the bar or restaurant in the evening due to our late arrival but the bar looked cosy. Overall a good stay and will visit again as this hotel is spoilt by its fantastic location .....ideal for plane spotters as it’s right in the heart of the Mach Loop! Prices are a little high but understandable that some costs have to be recovered so not a gripe ......and understandable as only limited rooms can be used due to restrictions.

Really helpful and polite staff. Great location.

Clean, friendly, good food, nice room.
