Good for a stop off and very reasonably priced, especially with continental breakfast. Room needs updating but then it would probably be more expensive, you get what you pay for. In a good location for exploring beautiful Snowdonia.

A community run Hotel. Interesting concept and clearly very important to the local community. Good continental breakfast in pleasant dining area. option for cooked breakfast (supplement) Friday and Saturday. Good range of evening meals (5 - 8 pm) Good quality and reasonably priced. Eat in the bar or the more formal dining area Room was very comfortable. Parking for 9/10 cars is plenty except if a number of non residents are present for meals or drinks. Bar well set up with good range and sensible prices

Good single room in this inn for a traveller at reasonable rate. Great basic breakfast, pay a bit extra for cooked stuff. Lovely friendly staff. I loved the bar atmosphere, a hub for locals and for Welsh singing and music-making (at weekend, when I was there, at least.) Good Celtic kind of "craic".

I really enjoyed my one night stay at Y Pengwern. The bar was friendly when we checked in, and when I was shown my room was amazed at how big it was. I was backpacking and there was plenty of room to reorganise my kit, and the bed was large and very comfortable. After a long day's walk we were looking forward to food, and were very happy with the big hearty meals we had in the restaurant. Breakfast was continental (although you could pay to have a cooked breakfast) but the continental on offer was varied and there was lots of it. Would love to come back another time.

Clean and comfortable room. Good shower, lovely bedding. There was no remote for the tv so had to manually change channel, bedside lamp but no plug socket to use it. Breakfast was good, ample enough choice for continental.

2/10 Poor

Coming from North America and long drive to this location, it wasn't an ideal place to relax. Of course it seems they were more of a pub then actual hotel you can sleep and relax. Very noisy outside. Wouldn't recommend for a family. Staff was excellent very cooperative to handlenthe situation.

First room I had, had an issue with the door, staff immediately swapped my room! Staff were very kind and helpful, room had both a fan and electric heater which was perfect. Great food, nice pint selection. Excellent location.

4/10 Fair

The room was clean and big enough and the staff were friendly. Everything else was terrible. The shower head won't stay in any other position but "at your face" or "at the floor". It's very poorly maintained and the bunk bed creaks terribly and wobbles so it doesn't feel safe. We plugged the heater in and the plug sparked when turning it off at the switch. The bedside light flickered at every slight movement on the table. The tV remote didn't work so we had to change channels on the tiny set which you could only see well from one side of the double bed. Kitchen closes early and the nearest food is 2.5 miles away. Breakfast was appreciated but no dairy free spread for toast or an alternative milk for tea or cereal. (I bring my own anyway). To add insult to injury accidently realised that booking it on the day would have been £50 cheaper. One of the worst B&Bs I've ever stayed in and I wouldn't go back.

4/10 Fair

Expected cheap and cheerful at the price point but even so, very disappointed. Messaged in advance to ask about vegan breakfast options and had no reply. When asking on arrival was told the bread is vegan...we didn't bother checking it out in the morning. There did appear to be only one member of staff on to serve the bar, restaurant, and guests checking in so appreciate she was very busy. Mattress and pillows incredibly bad, could feel each spring in the mattress and pillows were rock hard. Room hadn't been dusted, thick layer on top of wardrobe. Toilet cistern takes 10 minutes to refill after a flush so sat listening to that fill up for ages after each use. No power point anywhere near the kettle so had to plug that in on the other side of the room to the tea station. Shower was okay at least, though rather weak. Quite noisy until 11ish with the bar downstairs but we expected that so not a complaint. Perhaps the other rooms are better, other reviews don't seem to have had the same problems. We did go for the cheapest option but the least you expect is a reasonably comfortable sleep and an operational toilet. Love that it's community owned but wouldn't stay again.
