We took this hotel as a last minute getaway and everywhere else was full. The hotel was very clean and the hosts friendly, however the prices are extortionate for the standard of the hotel. The whole place is stuck in a time warp of the 80s, the bathroom only had a mixer tap shower attachment over the bath which ran... More

We recently stayed here for 2 nights and received a warm welcome from the owners Steve and Karen. We had a wonderful room overlooking the sea and it was very clean and welcoming with tea and coffee in the room. The restaurant has a very good choice of meals and all the meals we had were very pleasing and tasty.... More

The room was old and run down, there's a curfew to get in at night, check out time is early (with little flexibility) and the prices are high. But worst of all the owners are rude and miserable. We genuinely felt we were putting them out by staying there and that they couldn't wait for us to leave. I really... More

At The beginning of April we booked a tour with Nova to the Arbour Hotel in Barmouth, after reading some of the bad reviews we were dubious if we had done the right thing. On arriving and going to our room the hotel and bed etc. was spotless, the meals were very nice and we didn't hear any complains from... More

We have returned today from a 3 night break in Barmouth where we stayed at the Arbour Hotel and I must say that I am surprised by some of the negative comments I have just read. We found both Steve and Karen to be welcoming, helpful, chatty and overall very accommodating during our stay. I found them both to be... More

For starters, I would like to say that apart from terrible service, dusty rooms which kept me up all night, and an uncomfortable air that didn't leave until we did, I would recommend the Arbour hotel. That is if you fancy staying at a hotel which doesn't seem to want you there. My girlfriend and I stayed there for 4... More

On arrival the couple were really rude and made you feel like a piece of manure or an animal. Steve especially looks Mexican which put me off the food, Karen just stared at us whilst we were sipping their ghastly soup or should I say watery vomit. My husband Nicholas was scared of Steve as he kept giving him funny... More

we arrived at the hotel as part of a coach tour. steve "welcomed us" saying the hotel didn't like moaners". The rooms are clean but basic. Food was basic. The staff on the whole were miserable and steve was downright rude to us when one of our group changed their mind at a meal time "throwing the kitchen into chaos"... More
