"Had heard nothing but good things about this place from many colleagues so as were hiking in the area today we thought we'd give it a go. The local scenery en route is stunning the place is easy to find and has a large car park. The restaurant and bar are clean and cosy and there are several tables in a beer garden. Bar waiting staff are lovely. The waitress in particular was really friendly and happy, such a contrast compared to many of the places we've been to recently. We visited as a couple and both had 12 Oz Gammon with fried egg, grilled pineapple, chips and peas (one with a salad), with a side of onion rings between us. The portion sizes are generous and reasonably priced. The gammon was juicy and tender, perfectly cooked. The hand-cut chips were perfect and the other accompaniments were also excellent.Overall, the food is out of this world. It's been many years since we've had good this good when eating out. We don't often eat dessert when eating out but there was a table of six seated nearby who must have been there a little before us and they ordered an assortment of desserts while we were still eating our mains. Their praise was so vocal we thought we couldn't leave without dessert as they were making our mouths water. From the generous range of desserts we both decided to have the Salted caramel blondie cheesecake, with ice cream. There were no regrets! Pleased to say the desserts are every bit as excellent as the mains. £13.50 for each main and £4.95 for each dessert, plus two rounds of soft drinks, the bill came to just under £50, not including a tip (which we felt was well deserved due to the excellent service). We feel this is a more than reasonable price for the quality of the food and have already decided we will be returning soon. The menu was varied and appears to have something for all tastes and there are several children's meals available. There seems to be a steak night, chicken night, curry night and burger night, which we will obviously have to check out! We finished our visit in the beer garden, finishing off our drinks, with the company of a very friendly cat (we assume the cat is owned by the hotel as there don't appear to be any nearby houses). 10 10 would visit again."

The Sunday roasts here are excellent. Staff are always friendly, and it’s a lovely area to walk around. Some downsides are that there is a motocross site not too far, so on the weekends you can usually hear the scramblers in the background. Great pub, good food, recommended if you’re in the area.

We returned to this ideally located forest pub and restaurant after too long an absence. Last time was in winter where we tucked in to free bar top roast potatoes with our drinks next to a blazing fire. This time in summer it’s a walkers paradise if your are into miles and miles of Forestery Commission trees , hills and rocky outcrops plus alongside the Pub a superb historic 7 th century Church St.Gwynno.

I absolutely adore this restaurant. It is situated on top of a mountain, offering stunning views as you drive up. I used to hike up with my parents many years ago, and the memories of the lovely people and beautiful beer garden have stayed with me. The restaurant is pet-friendly and there are plenty of surrounding areas to walk your dog. Even though I have since moved away, I recently drove up to visit and found that the restaurant is just as welcoming and charming as I remembered. The atmosphere is cozy and friendly, with open fires adding to the ambiance. I would highly recommend this place and give it a 5-star rating.

"My wife and I booked a table at the Cinnamon Tree on Tuesday for the Sunday early evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I checked their web site first before booking as the actual date was on the Monday. Finding out that they did not...open on Mondays we opted for the Sunday. I telephoned the restaurant and made the booking. the person on the other end of the telephone repeated my details and time date ect. We turned up at the restaurant to fined it was closed with a sign on the door stating that they did not open on Sundays and Mondays. We got back in the car and went to turn around at the back of the restaurant and I saw a door at the back of the restaurant open. I stopped the car and went to the door and found someone in the kitchen. I told them that I had booked a table for that night and he confirmed what we had found out with the notes on the door. He then telephoned the owners of the restaurant and he put me on the telephone and I spoke to the owners partner and she said they have not been open for several weeks owing to staff shortages. I asked the lady why the booking had been taken as the staff must be aware of when the restaurant is closed or open and I had gone by their web site. She replied we haven't bothered to up date our web site and will not be doing so and have not bothered to blank out Sundays on the book were the reservations are written in and just blamed the person that took the booking in the first place. Her attitude was I couldn't care less. At this point I was boiling as I have used the Cinnamon Tree for many years and have always had a good meal there. But after this episode they can go to hell I will never go there again."
