Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers tasteful rooms with high-quality furniture and fittings, featuring probably the best wet-room I have used for a long time. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist with various needs. The location boasts breathtaking views and the dining experience was one of the best I have had in a long time.
The hotel on Tal y Llen was priced at £106 a night. The rooms had one double bed and two single beds as shown in the pictures at the time of booking. The service was exceptional, with very friendly and attentive staff helping us with our bags to our room, which was very clean, nice, and warm with spectacular views of the lake. The location was stunning, in a quiet area with amazing views from the lakefront rooms. The dining experience was very good, with well-cooked and plenty of offers, although a bit slow due to full capacity. Overall, a great value for money stay with minor dining delays and no walking distance amenities.
The hotel offers stunning lake views and a small patio area to enjoy, along with a spacious bathroom that includes a bath and separate shower. However, cleanliness was not up to par. The service was friendly and helpful, despite some noise disturbances late in the evening. The location is exceptional, providing peaceful surroundings and breathtaking views of the mountains and lake. The dining experience was enjoyable, with a good variety of well-cooked dishes. Overall, a beautiful setting with some room for improvement in cleanliness.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the stunning location surrounded by lakes and mountains, perfect for a relaxing break. The service was great, with friendly staff attending to various needs, though the dining experience left something to be desired. The rooms, despite a delayed readiness, provided a comfortable retreat after a day exploring. The lack of phone signal was a minor inconvenience, but the peaceful ambiance made up for it.
