Full of character

A characterful historic hotel. Great food. Friendly service and quiet.
Lloyd, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was very friendly and took care of all of our needs. Location is great, the town is conveniently located to explore the mountains, the coast, and the castles. There are many dining and shopping options within walking distance and it's not too busy.
Deborah, 3-night trip

Great location! Good food options even at the hotel restaurant. Some noise from the traffic on the main road, but not much.

A little Welsh Gem

Clean room with ensuite facilities. Friendly staff at hotel. Good choice for breakfast (full Welsh+options). Excelent meals otherwise - good potions of all meals taken which were piping hot and freshly made - impressed! A bit out of the way but worth the effort.

This property is in a good situation for easy access to lots of walks in surrounding area. Plus easy access to bus routes to Snowdon etc. the village is delightful. Will visit it again

Well located, the hotel is a little old, specially the room and some upkeep would be great, nevertheless the staff was amazing and more than compensated the hotel itself

Very clean tidy and pleasant the only draw back they weren't serving meals whilst I was there . Beds very comfy! Breakfast very generous

4/10 Fair

Two night stay - If you’re looking for somewhere to stay after walking the mountains then this is ok. If you want a comfortable stay I suggest you explore the other hotels in the area. We had to wait to check in - one person was covering both the bar and the reception. Our room was spacious but like a fridge - we had to request an additional plug in heater. Had this not been provided it would have been a very unpleasant stay. The bar was closed when we returned to the hotel at 8pm on the Sunday evening had we known we would have stayed out later it was like returning to the Marie Celeste Even though we prepaid for our stay we were asked both on our arrival and when checking out to pay for our accommodation and breakfast. All in all not the best experience.

Food was great! Loved the lamb curry

Excellent stay in snowdonia. Friendly staff and a pleasant place to stay. The place has aged and the footboards squeaked. But all good
Nicolas, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely menu - particularly loved the Goat curry and my son wolfed down the ribs. Friendly staff. Only gripe would be that the showers were mounted way too low. I could only wash my hair by kneeling in the bath.

6/10 Good

The web page states Free breakfast with every room type, but the confirmation was room only. When i asked about this i was told i had chosen this option. We were in room 38, in the roof. The room was cold on arrival, the heating was off , it never came on, but there was a small plug in heater. The window didn't close and the wind kept opening it. The lift was adjoined to the room so it made a terrible noise every time it was called. This room looks nothing like the images on Hotels.com The bar area was nice with a good selection of drinks, and the Menu has nice options. The guys working there were nice. Parking opposite is free. I had to pay extra for breakfast. i feel i was mislead

Booked this hotel for a weekend due to location to Watkin Path. Staff so kind & helpful, Rooms clean & tidy with ensuite bathrooms including baths in two out of 3 rooms booked. Use of lift to rooms. Breakfast selection plentiful and hot, evening meals superb & well priced. Hotel also offers a cool room to store food & drinks for your climb, as well as offering a snack pack to buy for your day out. The Goat Hotel is based in Beddgelert & walking distance to amenities. We will definitely be booking for a return visit.

Kevin, 1-night trip

I was a little nervous, I’ll admit, due to other more negative reviews, but there really was nothing to be worried about. The room was great, it wasn’t noticeably unclean or anything like that. Bed was comfortable, area was quiet, and I have no complaints. The staff were welcoming and polite, and the food was really good also. The surrounding village is beautiful, and the Rhydd Ddu path up Mount Snowdon is one bus stop away (or 8KM walk), which is a bonus.

It is am old building, facilities are dated and average at best. Toilet tough to flush, hotel WiFi did not reach our room, etc. Nice staff, and apparently new ownership trying to slowly renovate. Has some history and charm and in a great town.
