We stopped off at the Penhelig Arms for a quick late lunch in the bar. The sandwiches were freshly made, very generously filled - we went for a mixture of prawn and salmon and a couple of people had Welsh Rarebit. There was only one member of staff present but he was friendly and engaging. Views across the estury are... More

My parents recently stayed at the hotel and were very disapointed with the service they received. The manager was not very receptive to their comments and the food was not as good as it has been. The bar area was spoilt by children who were at the table with mothers who appeared happy to off load their children onto others... More

This hotel used to be the best in Aberdovey when it was privately owned and run. It is now owned by Brains. They are a brewery; they run Pubs. They are under the misapprehension that a pub manager can manage a hotel. The Penhelig has apparently had a succession of such managers, each one worse than the last. We had... More

Stayed in a Bodhelig room (more like a suite) which was in an annexe to the pub. The room was beautifully decorated, had a huge bed and sitting area, and the bathroom was very large too. The views from the balcony were lovely. There is also a large terrace area for people staying in the Bodhelig rooms. We really appreciated... More

We stayed with a group of friends for a joint birthday celebration. Our rooms were very spacious - large enough for all seven of us to gather in one room for a pre-dinner drink. The bathrooms were great, with underfloor heating, walk-in showers and a bath. We thought the staff dealt very well with our fairly large group at dinner.... More

My husband and I, along with five friends, stayed in Bodhelig for one night on 21st April to celebrate our 'important' birthdays this year. Starting with an enjoyable lunch at the bar with very good service, we then had a two hour wander in the sunshine. Aberdovey is like a breath of fresh air and a great place to wind... More

The Penhelig Arms is a curious mix. My wife and I stayed recently for three nights. We enjoyed our suite, which featured nice touches such as plush towels, a Bose radio and comfortable furnishings -- plus the great view. For every positive, unfortunately, there was something wrong. The food -- even items as simple as scrambled eggs -- was disappointing.... More
