The host was friendly and always happy and location were the only realistic things I liked about my stay at the red dragon. Location in a beautiful village I've visited many many times with a very short walk to pubs and restaurants. Bed was comfortable and large.Messy and dark reception, arriving and host not being aware of my booking. I didn't like the shower as it was extremely weak with little pressure. Bathroom very small, sink taps are placed terribly. Did not sleep well here due to an outside light, had to place blanket over the curtains which helped a little.Breakfast was nice, but basic.. no music and very awkward in a small dining room.Bathroom door did not use properly due to issue with door wood.Rooms very noisy at night, thin walls hearing neighbours and those walking up the metal staircase when they're returning to their room.Most disappointed at the price and getting very little in return.It's more like a motel than a hotel and you're paying for the location ONLY.Host called me once I had returned home asking for the room key, I said I'd left it on reception.. she then responded with no, it's not there. I replied, yes, input it on the reception desk when leaving... She then asked what room I was in and I responded with my room room, number.Host working alone so organisation lacking which was unfortunate.

Beautiful little village. Great base to travel around .rooms very basic. And a horrible damp smell In Room and bedding not pleasant at all. Chinese lady very helpful and busy seams to be a one lady show. Breakfast was very basic bit niceRooms: In need of revamp

Service was excellent, but it needs a lot of upgrading. The Chinese lady was so hospitable and helpful, she needs a medal. So much could be done with this quaint hotel. Disgracefully neglected, paint peeling off the skirting boards, door handle hanging off, plus the smell of dirty fat and a musty smell. Otherwise if upgraded it would make a beautiful place to stay.

Restaurant has closed now. Shame was a decent Chinese. Avoid the hotel rooms. Very poor and dirty.

All 3rd party booking sites show this as having a restaurant, bar and mountain views, it has none of these!! It is dirty and untidy and when we asked for something really simple (toilet roll) the owner went to the room to check we weren't lying!! How it rates 4/5 or 8/10 is a mystery unless the reviews aren't genuine.Rooms: Dirty, dirty, dirtyFood & drinks: No resturant, no bar, breakfast OK but limited vegan/vegetarian optionsNoteworthy details: It's pretty grim, don't stay here unless you absolutely have to!!

It's grim!! No resturant, no bar, no mountain view. Property is dirty and untidy and if you complain to the owner about needing toilet paper they go to the room to check you are not lying! Yes it's in a nice location and the breakfast if OK (although the bacon and egg sandwich without bread was a new experience) but unless you really can't afford anything else don't stay here!!

The owner was a very nice lady, the location was very good however the conditions of the room made our vacation miserable. There was a very strong damp smell and feeling which made us not sleep all night. So please take this into consideration before booking the room. Cleanliness was not perfect, the shower was dirty, and the floors were stained. Also you could hear the other guests on the upper floor

Don't expect a uxurious B&B. It's clean, tidy and quite basic, breakfast was decent. A good convenient location, friendly hosts and ideal for what we wanted. Good value. Ideally could do with a refurb, but then it would cost more! Chinese restaurant part, looks like that has ceased trading - that area needs a sort, doesn't give a good first impression.

Stayed here and used it as a base to climb Snowdon, a picturesque location, a 15- 20 min drive from Snowdonia's Pen y pass and very close to the town. Rooms are small but very much adequate for what we needed. Very American motel styled with rooms adjacent to the main building but it was very handy for loading and unloading the car. Breakfast each morning was very fresh with cereals and pastries available too.

Nice simple hotel with a generous breakfast option. Very helpful owner. Great location 2 minutes from the bus stop.

Very tired and dated. Loads of photos of the restaurant (not open anymore. So really need to take all the food photos OFF, as we thought we could have our tea there!!!) We stayed in the rooms o the left, downstairs, and God all the noise from upstairs, and creaky floorboards, couldn't wait to come home!!! Breakfast was lovely though.

Great location, bed comfortable but that's where positives end. Had to phone to get into building. WiFi password requested but was told to check at reception later in the day. Reception looked like a dumping ground. Towels hard & stained. Breakfast not good. Didn't bother with it on 2nd day. Breakfast table set up with: Cereals but no milk, 2 slices of bread but no butter, no water to make tea or coffee, sat at 8:30 for breakfast finally got drinks at 9:00 eggs served on plate which were cold by the time I made my toast. No vegetarian option offered. Lovely host but this place really needs an overhaul. Really not worth the money.

AWFUL, read full review below.Don't be fooled by the good reviews!! They are all for the restaurant and NOT the hotel!!We arrived and instantly we were disrupted by the bad smell of this placeThe room we were going to stay in was like walking up to a pidgeon hole and the smell is awful inside, the bed is so uncomfortable that its uncomofrtable to even SIT on. Traffic noise is really loud through the windows and parking is on a busy main road that is hard to pull out of.There was mould on the cutrains and the windows were dirty, the floors were clean and tidy but it just felt so bad to be in that room we had to leave.The price for the room is very high considering we booked way in advance and the value for money is very low as all the facilities felt cheap.We were not offered any compensation, consequently I won't recommend this place to anyone unfortunately

Nice little place. Basic but what more do you need.Needs updating but that will affect the prices.. lovely owner she was welcoming and very friendly..Situated perfectly for walks and a quaint town

A little quirky but no complaints. Bedroom was spotless. Yes, it's a little dated but I think it adds to the quirkiness. Breakfast was good. Choice of cereals, toast and hot cooked breakfast.The lady who runs this establishment (single handedly) works very hard. I'd stay here again.
