"Arrived 2 hours early as wanted to make the most of my stay in Barmouth. The owner said my room was ready and was allowed to check in early. Parking directly in front of the hotel Fantastic sea view what you can see without leaving your bed Fab location 2 mins walk from the main town and beach Cannot fault it Heads up to future bookers there is no lift so be prepared for stairs if on the 2nd floor and above. also the single room , not sure about the double, the shower is very small so would not suit a “larger” person."
