Gwesty Ty Newydd in Gwynedd

What a wonderful find...and just in time for lunchtime service. We both had fish and chips which were gorgeous. The view is spectacular and the customer service was friendly and efficient, would easily recommend!

A walk along the glorious coastal path found us at GTN and we stopped for lunch on the sheltered terrace. The view is quite out of this world and the food (fresh crab) and service impossible to improve on anywhere. We were so impressed we came back in the evening and had the best fish and chips in a long while .... service was efficient and friendly on a busy Saturday evening.

How do you manage to get not one, but TWO lon, black, stringy hairs in a burger? Absolutely grim. Put off my food, I was offered some scampi, which was above average. Put me and everyone else off our food.

After having been the day before for a pleasant tea and scone afternoon, we were looking forward to an evening meal tonight. The service started off very pleasant and we enjoyed the brie and cranberry parcel as a starter. We both ordered the lamb rump with red cabbage and mash. The lamb arrived as a sizeable piece of meat. However, it was raw in the centre! Don't get me wrong, we like our lamb pink, but not raw. When we showed this to the waitress our plates got whisked away. Then we waited. And waited. There was no contact, no explanation, no apology. We weren't kept informed what was happening. Eventually, I went to the front to ask about it and was told that it had just been served. Again, no apology... One of the pieces was now perfect, just slightly pink, the other (smaller) one slightly overcooked and grey. The flavour was very good, and the red cabbage as well as the mash were faultless and tasty. There was a sense of being ignored afterwards, and no eye contact from the waitress when our plates were taken at the end. We understand that this was a fairly new winter menu, which was obviously not well "rehearsed". However, as much as we were disappointed with the very undercooked meat, we expected better customer service following this experience. If not a complimentary dessert or a reduced price then at least an open and honest explanation and apology. Management and staff training could definitely be improved. Were in the area for a while longer, but regrettably won't be returning here.

We stayed here for a short break in Oct. The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean. And we couldn’t ask for a better view of the sea! We dined in the restaurant both nights and the food was amazing, the staff we friendly and the outside areas were cosy and warm even in October. We will definitely be returning to such a lovely hotel

Stayed at this hotel for two nights and was absolutely thrilled by the experience of tranquility and beauty! Located in the bay, directly at the beach, there are few other places that can match this. Rooms with a view of the sea, waves steadily rolling in and the slow tidal change.

After pre booking a table for 4 on the Thursday before , when we turned up we had not been put on the system Allegedly. There was a big party of people in the middle , so reading in between the lines our table must of been given away. As my wife is a diabetic we had planned to eat at 6.15 and then to be turned away .

Tried to book a table for 8 and a tiny dog but the receptionist informed me that the pub doesn't allow dogs inside. Fair enough lots of places don't, I've no issue with that. So we tried to book a table on the terrace where dogs are allowed but were then told that they don't book terrace tables it's "rock up and see". We really didn't fancy our chances with that!!. So they lost our custom this time.

Great spot to sit and watch the sea and to grab a bite to eat. Foods lovely and fresh tasting. Will definitely be back again!

Beautiful location, great food, clean room. Thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. Always a pleasure to stay here on the beach.

Wonderful enclosed dining/drinking terrace with beach and sea backdrop, very beautiful. Food was excellent from limited and simple menu. Service with a smile and was quick and efficient. Can get very busy at peak dining times 5 until 7. Cast iron chairs are cold and uncomfortable so use the optional cushions.

Fantastic 2 night stay. Superb sea-view. Love snoozing to the sound of waves breaking on the beach. Breakfast was a notch above the norm. All down to skill at egg cooking if you ask me...lol Staff experienced, professional and pleasant to interact with. Possibly the best located hotel in the UK? Few sundowners on the terrace with waves breaking beneath your feet...gawd... More seafood needed on the menu, local would be best. Would cause an opening of my wallet.

Fabulous food, excellent service and an amazing location, you couldn't ask for more, we stayed here for four nights and ate in the restaurant each night, the food was fresh, delicious and ample.

A beautiful sunny day, enjoying the Llyn Penninsula would not be complete without Aberdaron & lunch Ty Newydd! Right on the beach, unrivalled views, sun was amazing. Really great menu available, something for every palate. Everything, fresh, great food and presented nicely. Service & staff excellent. Cannot fault here, try, you will not be disappointed. Until we return again.

Just went in for drinks .The place was totally empty. Sat at a table that was reserved but in over an hours time. We're told very rudely by some lad who obviously couldn't be bothered seve us to move to another table as that was reserved. Not being spoken to like that so left pub. Went to pub over the road The Ship and the place was packed with fantastic service at the bar. Pretty obvious why all the locals and public choose that one.

Absolutely fabulous two day stay in this gem of a hotel/ pub . One of the nicest places we have ever stayed . Wonderful Welsh hospitality, stunning location with breathtaking views from our room . Great food and drink at reasonable prices. Our room was perfect with of space with huge comfy bed . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We hope to come back . Thank you to the staff for making our stay such a pleasure.

I left my heart at Aberdaron.. a small lovely village in the middle of nowhere. We reached it by bus. The hotel is directly on the beach.. the ocean in front of it. People was always very welcoming and trying to please customers. The hotel was clean and very welcoming. The room was quite big and you could see the sea from the window. Comfortable bed and very silent room. Nice bathroom with a big shower. We ate lunch here and they have many gluten free options. I had a gluten free sandwich with shrimps, chips, and salad. I also ordered a cider, very tasty. We reserved a table for dinner and I had a gluten free soup with fried potatoes and coleslaw. Big surprise: there was a gluten free dessert -> I had a caramelized sponge and custard. Breakfast was complete: you had to order through a sheet -> I had gluten free toast, butter, honey, salmon, scrambled eggs, fruits, orange juice. The price was absolutely worth it and I recommend it.

Just drinks today but welcome and service was excellent so was the prompt clearing of empty tables. The view at the back is absolutely spectacular overlooking the bay. No parking with the pub but there is a National Trust car park in the village free if your a member or £5 ,for all day. Would we go again definitely.

Whilst out touring the peninsula, we stumbled on this place and decided to pop in for lunch. The staff we’re ready friendly, the decor was smart Lunch was delicious and views over the beach were spectacular. Would definitely recommend this place

Gorgeous beach walk followed by the most delicious Fish & Chips…with a beach view …. And pup friendly! Highly recommended

Booked a table for 8 for 6.15pm Saturday, 7th October. It was absolutely heaving when we arrived. Unfortunately one of the group was late which caused a bit of stress in the kitchen. We were warned there was a 45 minute wait for food. Fine. We weren’t too hungry at that time anyway so it wasn’t an issue. We ordered our food. A variety was ordered from lasagne, gammon, curry to Tuscan chicken. Everything looked lovely when it arrived. Home made chips, fresh salad. There was 4 members of waiting on staff and they all worked extremely hard and did not stop all night. Nobody came to our table during the meal to ask if everything was ok or if we wanted more drinks. Which we did want but they were so busy we didn’t want to be an inconvenience . Unfortunately the garlic bread was rock hard and inedible. We bought it to the manageresses attention when we asked for the bill and she did remove it from our bill to be fair. Very busy place.

Lovely view ,lovely beer mediocre food . Smoking near people eating food . Not a good advert for this place

We were staying at this hotel, and enjoyed our first meal there so much that we ate there every night. Interesting menu, great ingredients carefully cooked and served by friendly, professional and eficient staff. We found the helpings to be very generous too - the seafood platter for two, with a side of chips, did us very nicely for a main course, although it was only supposed to be a starter! Other highlights were the Greek lamb plate and the salmon with grilled veg and sweet chilli sauce - all excellent. Strongly recommended - nice atmosphere and stunning views all added to the great experience.

Had a drink and found the young bar staff to be unfriendly. As with other reviews we found the scraping chairs in the conservatory to be very irritating.. In fact , we joined in with the other people to make an amusing cacophony of noise and chaos. Get some decking installed or rubber on the legs as I won’t be returning!

Poor food and miserably small portions for an inflated price, if you have any choice go somewhere else and give this a miss

Get in early to grab a seat overlooking the beach. you can enjoy a good meal while watching the activities on the beach

The food was standard. Very small serloin steak to think we payed £24 each for it. The staff we're Very nice.

The best thing about this pub is its fabulous sea views from the conservatory. However, the noise the chairs made scraping on the stone floor was quite distracting. The food was quite nice but nothing spectacular. The staff were all friendly and the service was good.

Foods nice but the atmosphere great. Get there early to grab a balcony table and if the wethers good you can enjoy a meal with a pint while watching people play on the beach

Lovely hotel .service and food good .especially the cooked breakfast .only negative was cheese and biscuits at 11.50 which I thought was steep .I did ask for half a cheeseboard as I didn't want a lot but the chef refused which I found a bit silly as the could of had 5.25 rather than no sweet order .

There were at times 18 of us xx but a core group of 8. Watched the Sheffield Wed play off final. So had lots of food ( meals and snacks ) which were piping hot and delicious. Yes we had a few alcoholic drinks but lots of tea, coffee etc. service was fantastic. They were very friendly and helpful. Thanks. We have a caravan down here and will most certainly be back.

We were in Aberdaron for a week and ate here twice. The first time we booked ahead and ate indoors. The expensive seafood platter for two was lovely but about the size most restaurants serve as a single portion . House wine was £21 per bottle for ordinary plonk. Limited menu (unchanged since last year). The Greek Lamb and Tuscan Chicken were delicious and the table service good. The second time was like a different restaurant. We didn’t book because we’d planned to eat in The Ship across the road but their restaurant was closed because they’d “lost” their chef. We opted to eat on the terrace to enjoy the sunset. “Order food at the bar” we were told - easier said than done as the bar was crowded with local drinkers. Order taken and charged for immediately. After a short wait the food was placed on the table and the waitress disappeared. My 10oz rare rump steak was actually a small sirloin steak plus a small piece of rump - both were over-cooked with no sign of being grilled as if they’d been cooked off well in advance and left to keep warm. The chips were inedible. No sign of any staff throughout the meal and frankly I couldn’t be bothered to queue at the bar to complain. This used to be an excellent restaurant - maybe the manager is off on Wednesday nights?

Cakes available were advertised out of the front of this establishment. However, when I asked at the bar what cakes were available, I was told, "We don't do cakes." So, my partner and I have a Cappucino instead. The Cappucino tasted like instant coffee, with a spoon full of froth put on top. There was absolutely no way this was made with filter coffee. It was weak and tasteless. If you're looking for a quick dink and a snack, i'd avoid this place.

We visited this pub during a 3 night break on 3 occasions for food and drinks. We were able to sit in the front as we had our dog with us. Lovely food. Homemade and piping hot. Had a lovely carvery for Mothering Sunday and could not fault. All homemade Yorkshire puddings and roasties. There was also 4/5 different veg. Well worth the money. The only criticism was the staff not efficient and could have been more friendly. We are Welsh and was a little disappointed. We will return and hopefully it will be a pleasant place to visit. Overall highly recommend eating at Ty Newydd

A sharply decorated venue slightly at odds with the historical location we were able to book. Rugby on the tv meant that there was a slightly odd atmosphere with youthful staff only in attendance bar a lady in the entrance cubical who did not offer...

Fantastic end to a super weekend, been here a few times before on a day out in Penllyn but this time stayed over. Tried booking but even though it was out of season there weren’t any tables available, lucky to get a walk in table...

Lovely sheltered terrace overlooking the sea Unfortunately not much else to rave about Expensive but very average panini. The chips were tasteless, soggy & greasy. An underwhelming experience

Oh dear, we walked in. No greeting, ignored totally. An awful coupe behind followed us in. We passed a table being cleaned. To sit at another, the male of the couple came over hassling us to sit at the bigger table, being cleaned. Telling us...

Our first visit to this pub/restaurant, we sat outside in a covered area with very noisy metal chairs. The outdoor area is on a raised platform above Aberdaron beach, affording marvellous sea views. We decided to share the Fish Basket starter, but were very disappointed...

I asked 3 times how to order food and was told one of my colleagues will be with you shortly. we sat there for an hour with a drink whilst staff just walked past. we ended up having fish and chips around the corner which...

This is a dog friendly pub as long you sit on their covered terrace that juts out over the beach... Idilic. The food and drink was good quality and value

Very good food and stunning setting overlooking the beach. Will definitely go there again on our next trip to Llyn Peninsula.

This place is so unique with such a stunning view over the sea from its terrace. The food however is very mediocre which is a real shame, and the interior very like a school dining room rather than a cosy pub or a cool seaside...

This was a pleasant surprise: lovely view of the sea in a semi enclosed terrace. Busy but speedy friendly service. Food tasty if a bit uncreative.

Very good food and great service. It gets very busy around 12:00. We (8 people) arrived just before and got seated right away. Not sure if they take reservations. We had jacket potato, bacon brie and cranberry sandwich, ham and cheese panini, curry and chips,...

I must say all the staff were great in helping and giving up a table outside to see the sunset, thank you to all and the food was great. One of the best nights spent on the coast.

The staff were efficient, courteous, attentive and obliging. especially Erianne who wanted to make sure we were happy when she noticed we had left a little on our plates (simply because portions were large). Food was very nice, and room smart and clean. Nice terrace...

Words can not possibly describe how unenjoyable our experience was. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, every single aspect of the experience from service to the quality of food was below par. I sent back food that was completely inedible...

The food served at Ty Newydd Aberdaron was tasty and good value for money. The younger staff were friendly and efficient. Unfortunately we were served by an older female waitress who was rude and unfriendly. It was like being in an episode of Fawlty Towers....

Had a lovely lunch on the patio in the sunshine with our dog. Food and service were excellent. Went there out of season in March and not a lot else open. Well worth the trip.

Had a great crab sandwich and a drink here on our first day in Aberdaron. Called in again for a drink and a view to die for. Very friendly staff.

Lovely pub, lovely views & lovely staff. Had fresh prawn sandwiches and wine in the winter sun overlooking the bay, fantastic

Great to find the restaurant busy on a cold February night. Had to eat in the bar area which was a tad cold when the front door opened. Food was excellent - wife loved her prawn starter. The bread with it was v fresh. Black...

We were a group of five children and six adults and I chanced to book for the 12.30 slot for Sunday lunch. The children had small plates and the adults had the large ones. We had the beef. It was cooked to perfection. The vegetables...

Good food, decent choice of beer. Great staff. The view from the rear patio & covered area is worth visiting for. Dogs allowed out there too. Most enjoyable i though.

We came as a family of 4 on 10/09/21 and to start with sat put on the terrace in the sun but got pestered by wasps which is no fault of the Ty Newydd. The staff were very accommodating and got us a table in...

Kindness and respect should be a given. Working inside, in offices or from home during lockdown, has been gruelling for many. And so a day beside the sea is welcome respite. Sadly the handling of a customer’s request to sit outside on a beautiful day...

Following a walk down the beach we enjoyed a lovely lunch on the terrace. Views were fantastic, food was great and the staff were brilliant.

Arrived at Aberdaron on Saturday. Managed to secure a table on the terrace. Great start to the holiday. Service was friendly and efficient. Lovely food. Friendly service. Good value for menu. Returned for another lovely meal on Monday.

Early tea with kids - good pub food. Had fish and chips, scampi and chips, veggie stir fry and goats cheese salad. All generous portions and decent hearty fare. Service was speedy and friendly.

We just popped in on the way past for a cuppa etc. The facilities are being upgrade, and I would recommend a visit. The view is worth it alone.

We were lucky to be given a table for the 4 of us, 2 adults, 2 children, on the terrace with a fab view. Unfortunately the food was terrible. i had the stuffed chicken breast, supposed to be mozzarella and bacon- it just had a...

Great location, busy pub but staff clearly allocated specific tasks and service was excellent. Very specific on dealing with food allergies.

Stunning views overlooking Aberdaron beach. Great selection of beer and very good food. Ate in the restaurant twice in a 5 day visit. Next time will try and stay there overnight.

Fantastic pub with very friendly staff and fantastic food. would highly recommend this pub to anyone visiting this area

Tried emailing to book a meal a week before a last minute stay for work, no reply. Rang them, lady was rude and unhelpful. Looks like it's microwave meals then!

We visit every April and October to the area and this is my favourite place to eat/drink. The prawn sandwiches are incredibly fresh with bread from the bakery opposite. I was worried about how they were coping with the covid restrictions but I shouldn't have....

Crab salad and scampi were both great. We'll kept local ales from Cwrw Llyn and Piws Mws. The terrace overlooking the beach is great.

Stopped here on the off chance for a spot of lunch. Prime location and the outside terrace is beautiful when the sun is shining. If only having drinks you need to log on through their WiFi or download the app to order, simple enough but...

Good ambience. Friendly service. Shared starter of king prawn with good bread to mop up the juices. Mains was the Thai chicken curry. All extremely tasty. We will be back.

My wife and I stopped here for lunch whilst visiting Aberdaron. I had Crab Salad, lovely fresh salad and crab but it was £16.95, a little over priced. My wife had a bacon and brie panini. We both ordered a glass of house wine. Be...

This was quite a let down. It serves ordinary pub food in a noisy and rather basic environment. We had a ridiculously long wait to be shown to our table. There’s loads of staff milling about doing little useful. You have to download an app...

After postponing my husband's birthday trip because of Covid 19 we finally made it and the whole trip totally lived up to our expectations. The hotel had excellent safety measures in place. Our room was lovely with wonderful sea views and the location is second...

Came here for lunch and returned in the evening for a few drinks. Food was delicious and the staff were amazing and very friendly. The views on the terrace are stunning. Will definitely be returning.

5 star all round!! Yesterday, I popped into the pub with my mum; two coffees and whitebait and chips later we left loving the location, coffee, food and service. We will be back! Thank you And covid safe measures in place

Teimlo yn hollol saff yma. Highly organised place for a drink given current COVID threat. Great deal of thought and preparation making this a good first drinking experience post-lockdown. Amazing setting looking over traeth Aberdaron beach and Ynysoedd Y Gwylanod.

Absolutely LOVE this place, it just gets better and better. Been coming here for over 10 years now and the standard is 110% reliable

We stayed and the Tŷ Newydd for two nights over the New Year celebrations. We had such a warm welcome from Iain and his family & staff, all who work extremely hard to offer first class friendly service. The views of the sea and beyond from the rooms and terrace is just breathtaking. Breakfast is fabulous and cooked to order. The hotel also serves lunch and evening meal, of which there are plenty to choose from. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal and would highly recommend the restaurant at the Tŷ Newydd. We love visiting Aberdaron and we will be back to stay at the Tŷ Newydd very soon!

Called in today for drinks only two beers had a better welcome but the beers and price both ok would go back and try out the food menu the village has a pay carpark just over the road free if you are in the Nat trust

The first thing that strikes you as you enter is the lovely family atmosphere. Everyone is smiling and even on a slightly rainy day.Then there's the service - I only wanted one item and it wasn't even on the menu. They were sooo helpful and the whole experience felt like a dream.Oh yes - I will be back!

Had a lovely drink on beachside balcony. Great views and ale. Busy in summer, quiet in autumn. Worth dropping in.

Been before and absolutely love the place, such a hidden gem and well worth a visit for a weekend away.

What a view! We ate a light lunch - great sandwiches and chips. Good service. Amazing setting and reasonable prices. Eating in or out. Fantastic placez

Went for Sunday carvery. Essential to book two sittings 12 and 1.30. Great carvery excellent food generous portions will be back soon

After a long journey we needed a good, early evening dinner and Ty Newydd did not let us down.The restaurant (and the terrace, though it wasn't the weather for that on our visit) is at the waterfront, so there are fine views over the bay. Facing the water the bar is at the right-hand side and the restaurant tables go round to the left. The staff were nicely attentive and efficient and we were pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the dishes we ordered: chicken breast (her) and swordfish (him), especially the chicken. These were washed down with a fruity merlot (her) and a really tasty IPA (him) and finished off with a well made coffee (her) and a delectable white chocolate cheesecake (him).The restaurant appears unprepossessing, but the food is extremely good and very fairly priced, we thought. Well done to all at the Ty Newydd: we enjoyed our visit.

What a place to sit - on the terrace overlooking the beautiful beach in the sun.The service is excellent - the coffee is strong and our simple lunch choices of whitebait, crab sandwiches, and tuna mayonnaise were perfectly complemented by great beer. On a hot, clear day there are few better places to sit, eat and drink. we have been lots of times before and hope to go back again.

We sat out in the terrace overlooking the sea - perfect spot and dog friendly. Had a sandwich with chips and hubby had burger. We both really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Would definitely go back and recommend.

The location and quality of decoration of the interior are unbeatable. The food is standard pub fare plus some fresh crabs. Service was generally good. Some of the staff were welcoming, others less so. The toilets are made, freely available and clean.

Good food, reasonably priced, helpful staff. Best place to eat in Aberdaron (we tried everywhere, and this was the one we went back to!)

Big family group and a small dog visited for an evening meal and had a wonderful time. A separate, dog friendly dining room was a good start. The food was the star, excellent portions and the rump of lamb was superb. Highly recommended

Fabulous place to stay. The bedroom overlooking the sea number 2 is wonderful. Waking up to the sounds of the sea . Food very good and staff friendly and efficient Can’t wait to go again next year

Lovely setting and the campsite is well equipped with a lovely cafe at the reception serving home made cakes meals and takeaways if you wish.

Delicious meal served rapidly while looking over the sea, what more could you want? An excellent dining experience. Fish had a bit of a soggy bottom but other than that it was top marks.

E war gar nicht so einfach, einen Tisch für zwei im Gwesty Ty Nevydd zu bekommen. Man reserviert dort in zwei Schichten (18 bis 18.30 und ab 19.45). Wir bekamen noch einen Tisch ab 19.45. Es gab frischen Hummer. An diesem war nichts auszusetzen. Frisch und aus lokalem Fa g und durchaus günstig. Der Salat dazu allerdings bemüht originell (mit Trauben und geschmackslosen Peperoni) und so.

Had lunch here while staying in Aberdaron with family. The food was average I had gammon which was a good sized portion. Staff really friendly. Clean throughout. Lovely beer terrace looking out over Aberdaron beach. Good choice of gins.
