Rushed in and out within 40 minutes – from initial drinks at the bar upon arrival, through to end of meal.Food was very average and starter course portions were meagre.Drinks were over-priced relative to other local restaurants we visited during that week. Total bill was higher than all other local evening dining restaurants we visited.For reference and comparison, The Norbar and Y Sgwar restaurants offered a significantly better experience, both in terms of their food quality, ambience and customer experience and would happily recommend to others and revisit them both again, without question.Felt as though we had been short changed, both financially and in terms of our evening experience - this certainly wasn’t worthy of £100 dining!Feel a bit foolish for not taking the time to read the earlier comments from previous customers on Trip Advisor. I read feedback comments that pretty much mirrored our terrible experience – which left me with a sinking feeling afterwards.I do not understand the sense of this business model, as I would never wish to revisit Y Branwen or recommend it to anyone else? Short-term, maximum gain, I guess.I’ve learnt a uncomfortable lesson – please learn from me and spend your hard-earned money elsewhere!

Very welcoming from moment we arrived, our pups were given treats and settled in right away, having met the 2 hotel huskies. Attentive staff and excellent food, we stayed 2 nights so had breakfast and 2 evening meals, really good quality produce cooked by an excellent chef, im a meat eater and the steak was fantastic, my wife is a veggie and the menu was well catered with several choices for her too. We will look forward to our return visit .Date of stay: September 2022Trip type: Travelled with family

Absolutely fantastic service, fantastic burgers, fantastic beers and the man who runs the place is dare I say fantastic The menu is well curated by the chef, who knows what he’s doing and makes everything from scratch to high standards. It is by far the best place I’ve been to in this area. I would ignore any negative reviews of this place, I’ve read them and they are all frankly out of order! If you are looking for a nice quiet place with good food, a wide selection of drinks aldrin beer to gin and other spirits then this is the place for you. Also, a wealth of knowledge concerning Snowden , logistics and taxis.

We live in Harlech and have heard a mixture of reviews for Y Branwen..We decided to book a table for an evening meal, with trepidation.To be honest I am not sure where to start. In our opinion Y Branwen does not have a relaxed atmosphere either in the bar or resteraunt. A couple next to us also waiting to be seated made a comment about the place being 'strange'.We ordered a falafel burger and a gammon in orange sauce. The burger was dry and did not look appetising at all for the price. The gammon was tough and had quite an overpowering sauce.The owner did not look the kind of person to accept negative feedback so we passed our comments on to the young lady.

Frankly 0 stars would be more appropriate. Noting the various signs declaring that they don’t cater for children, or large groups, I was refused dinner for my wife and two boys (7-8) and our baby (who wasn’t eating and didn’t need a seat) despite the pub being empty. I explained I was happy to order full sized main meals but was still refused rather rudely. I’ve worked in pubs for 15+ years and wouldn’t have imagined such poor service could exist. Shame

May as well be called the £50 pub. 1 Guinness and 1 vodka lemonade was £20! Shocking. I know we are in a cost of living crisis but even that is daylight robbery.Really friendly staff but far to overpriced for what it is.

Nice friendly staff, on the main road thru Harlech. So very easy to get around the area and the national park. Decent rooms and excellent service. All I'd say is it's right by what once was the steepest recorded road in the world so careful driving needed.

My fiancé booked me a 3 night stay as a surprise birthday present and our stay was perfect.Our room was clean, cosy, with a view over the golf course and a comfy bed to collapse into after a long day of walking.The staff were beyond accommodating, incredibly pleasant and helpful with information about the local area.The food was exceptional, I ordered the home made burger and wow.As for the location. Settled right beneath the cliff with Harlech castle overlooking, 10 mins walk from the beach and only a short drive to waterfalls and Snowdonia.This really was perfect. Thank you to the staff for giving us such a brilliant time.

Nice big room & bed, very comfy, slept real well. Nice breakfast, friendly & helpful staff.Decorating a little tired would be my only criticism, but didn't affect our stay.

Very friendly small hotel with comfortable rooms in a beautiful location; mountains one way, beach the other and a castle thrown in for good measure.
