Pen-y-bont - Menu

Excellent again, two fine steaks and drinks for £25 off the specials board outside. Lovely lady on the bar and the waitress makes us smile (in the nicest way). But not too restauranty, still just keeps the pub feeling.

If you are not staying at the hotel, there is no heating available. The other fires did not work either. The staff were indifferent and the BLT sandwich was served on bread that was reminiscent of hockey pucks, with a bizarre assortment of vegetables. I would not recommend returning to this restaurant.

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and the staff was very friendly. The meals at the restaurant were delicious, but the breakfast was a bit disappointing. There was no self-service option for cereals, juice, etc. The toast was cold, making it difficult to spread the hard butter. Additionally, the breakfast was overcooked. View menu

This charming restaurant is a hidden gem located on the lakeshore. We felt incredibly welcome during our visit. Angela, the hostess, was exceptionally warm and attentive, ensuring our experience was enjoyable. Brian prepares delicious home-cooked meals that we savored by the cozy fireplace. Joyce was also very friendly and hospitable. Our family room was impeccably clean and tidy. This is a wonderful place to dine and relax, where both us and our dogs were treated like family.

I know businesses are being very tentative when opening after COVID but surely a pub needs some ales on draught? Mostly bottles but lets be fair you're paying for the stunning view which is second to none. Cash only if under £10 so be prepared (although this is against Mastercard and Visa's T&C's). Why not sort this out so passing travellers like myself can nip in for a quick drink without having to worry about having cash? No one uses it these days especially in the midst of a pandemic!

Due to the fact that myself and my husband were residing here for a couple of nights, we decided to have a meal here. I had ordered the vegetarian madras and my husband had the steak and ale pie. Both meals were delicious and my husband was even eating my chips! However, we loved our meals so much so that we dined here again and my husband ordered the same pie. Although I opted for the lamb pie, but forgotten to get a photo. Will definitely be returning, once myself and my husband are back in the area! View menu

So happy we found this lovely Inn. It's a great base for exploring the Cader Idris range of hills and walks, driving down to Aberdovey or visiting the Tywyn Railway and maybe even Llywelyn's Castell y Bere. Strict Covid rules are maintained, which is assuring and done seamlessly. The food is sublime the breakfast in particular is beyond scrumptious the bacon and sausages are the best in Wales (supplied by Rikki Lloyd of Welshpool). Altogether a great experience, brilliant hosts in Angela and Brian we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Stayed for a couples holiday for 4 nights. Immediately as we arrived hospitality was fabulous. Enjoyed a wine and beer in a beautiful lake side beer garden. Breakfast included was hearty, homemade and delicious. Angela and Brian were the perfect hosts, friendly and accommodating including delicious ham rolls made for us when we left early on a Sunday for Snowdon. Very knowledgeable about the local area. Perfect location, stunning views and 30 min walk away from the start of Cader Idris. Only fault is couldn’t function shower (heat or power) and little air flow through the room meant for very hot nights!

Booked her for our anniversary. Location perfect Quiet and out of the way Greeted by the owner Angela who gave us a very warm welcome and showed us to our room. We were the only ones booked in that night due the bad weather and very high winds. This did not matter and we were asked if we’d like to have dinner Felt bad that they were just cooking for us but nothing was too much trouble We came down for dinner where a fire had been lit for us so it was very cosy. Menu was basic but reasonably priced and very tasty Scoffed the lot! A good nights sleep followed by a freshly cooked breakfast with plenty of toast and refills of coffee and tea Angela gave us some ideas of places to go on our way ho... View menu
