The Gazelle Hotel in Isle of Anglesey

Wonderful views, great ambience and the food was outstanding. Service was friendly and efficient. Can’t wait to go back.

The Gazelle, Menai Bridge. After reading reviews, we decided to pop in. Never again :-( Very disappointed, we walked in with 2 dogs, 1 is medium,lab size and the other one is much large, both quiet and calm. First question from staff before we even said anything was, "Can they behave? do they get on with other dogs because there's other dogs so they will need to !!! " Shocked, "Yes ", I replied, " Toby, sometimes, may bark a couple of times when he first sees a dog but not always but otherwise, yes they do behave". The man then said " well, they had better" Then just scowled and gestured towards bar and said, " you'll have to go in the bar". That was fine, I was happy to sit anywhere, but don't make me feel like we have done something wrong when we have only just walked in. We went and found a table. Sitting in bar area were two other couples with dogs, the nearest lady looked up as we passed and put her hand by her dog and spoke to her dog before saying to us, "oh she can be grumpy" even though her dog didn't make a noise, no dogs even acknowledged each other. We spoke for a minute to her about dogs and then sat down. Our dogs then sat / lay down.We waited 5 or 6 mins and were badically ignored, a waitress even came to our table replacing condiments she had filled, as she went to walk away, we asked if we could have a menu, which she brought. A few minutes later they came back , took order, we decided not to have a main meal and rather have hot tea, soup and chips. There was no friendliness and the whole feeling was decidedly cool. Food served, no knives for buttering bread but no staff to be seen then and no one else eating in bar area by then. Food was mediocre, soup was awful, Chips were covered in black bits / eyes. No one checked how meal was.We were mid way through meal, both of us had put spoons down ( soup was half eaten ) and were drinking tea when waitress came over and said "have you finished" to my daughter who as she said said " well , I think ...."and before she could finish" the waitress picked up bowl and went to take chip bowl, still half full too , I was suprised, it was obvious we hadnt but quite honestly just went "oh, ok, yes then" . She picked up mine as well and left. No one came to see if we wanted anything else. I wanted just to go, It wasnt worth sitting there feeling so uncomfortable. We went to pay where staff were by front entrance and was told/ pointed to go back to bar area to pay, ( no one in there) waitress followed and as we stood there put bill on bar and said "have you already paid for drinks" we said we hadn't, no response she just she just turned her back and the re-presented another bill and the card machine.I paid. She then said "was everything OK" to which I replied, "no, not really," she didn't reply, so I then said " I dont think we'll be coming again" and she said "ok", no why, no sorry to hear that etc.just ok. No pleases or Thank you's when paying. We said, "Bye" , no reply , we walked past the other staff who were just stood there at the desk again by door and left ( no acknowledgement) . The dogs had been impeccably behaved as expected, throughout. All in all, it was disappointing, unwelcoming and basic food. If you don't like dogs.....or as we felt large dogs, say so. Definitely not dog friendly or for that matter people friendly!

Fantastic stay and dinner break. We live locally but love this place and more importantly it's very dog friendly. Amazing setting on the manai with amazing views of the mountains. Staff are extremely helpful and kind. I would highly recommend this hidden gem

This was our second time staying at the Gazelle. The views over Snowdon are the best you will find anywhere. The rooms are superbly decorated ( we’ve stopped in different rooms) .The food was delicious but a little on the pricey site but overall stay was amazing . So good in fact I’ve booked a room already for next years Marathon . All the staff were pleasant and delt with any issues . Well done all.

Had lunch there today in the bar food was ok but it was very cold in there no rads on and fire not lit staff walking round in short sleeve shirts but it was just not pleasant food goes cold quicker and we didn't stay we just left as soon as we ate shake really it seems to be a thing with pud's etc that they are cold and no heating on, also chairs are very uncomfortable no cushions just a wooden seat so bum got numb my husband sat on my coat.

A beautiful early Autumn sunny day perfected by majestic surroundings . Service was so special in welcome and serving. Our lunches were superb.Beautifully cooked and presentation 10/10 Excellent. This made our family get together really special. Big bonus too no competition with background noise or " music" Big thanks to all the Staff

In the middle of what could only be described as chaos one member of staff showed herself to worthy of her title supervisor or head waitres dealing with irate dissatisfied customers all round yet remaining polite professional and genuinely sorry for the events which were patently out of her control. (To show our appreciation of the effort we did leave a tip for the waiting staff )However once it did arrive the food was delicious (not quite worth the wait but very good!) and I would definitely recommend....one bad night can happen anywhere... try before you decry!!

A thoroughly disappointing evening that spoiled a family get together. From arrival it took us nearly 1 hour to get our starters, including a tiny plate of bread for a party of 5 people. The food itself was very ordinary and nothing to shout about, not to mention the limited menu (which is nowhere to be seen on the hotel website). 1h30 and we still had no mains, so we asked how much longer it would be. It then transpired that they had only 2 chefs working - if we had been told this on arrival we could at least have had the chance to prepare for a wait, or to have made other eating arrangements. As it was, 2 hours later we had had enough and decided to leave without our mains, after being assured it would 'only' be 10 more minutes (one customer had been waiting 3 hours to get their mains!!) Without any kind of management in sight, the waitress who seemed to be in charge was very apologetic and gave us our drinks and starters free of charge, plus a bottle of wine - an appreciated gesture, but the evening had already been ruined by then and the complete lack of communication or explanation up front was just unacceptable. We ended up getting a takeaway from Menai instead, a very, very disappointing end to what should have been a fun night out. The management need to have a serious look at their work practices and how they inform customers of potential delays, because after tonight I would not EVER recommend or go back to the Gazelle.

Oh dear , not sure what happened tonight based on past good reviews . Arrived 7.30 , no starter until after 8.30 We eventually left at 9.30 with no mains . Promised they were on the way twice then the final time we asked , they confessed it may take another 15 ‘minutes ( with some uncertainty) . Not charged for drinks or starters ….. but what we actually would have liked is just some honesty about the situation when we arrived . We could then have decided whether to stay or not and would probably have returned again in the future . Sadly now , this is not a place we ‘ll ever try again or recommend .

Called for drinks enroute to Menai. Stunning location with impressive views. Lovely interior but we sat outside in the porch to make the most of the scenery. Decent drink choices and food menu looked good - plan to return to eat.

Just had a fantastic lunch at The Gazelle Hotel, very polite and attentive staff giving 1st class service and food. Nice to be greeted with a smile 😀. Will return soon for an overnight stay.

What a perfect experience. Sat by the water on a hot evening - incredible views over the Strait, lovely fresh fish (halibut) and THE most professional, polite, courteous young staff! One of your reviewers said 'it's not exactly the Ritz' - well no - it's a great deal nicer. Congratulations to the owner on having such a delightful place.

Called in for lunch with my wife and dog as we were impressed with the menu and the fact we could sit in the bar to eat with our dog. The pub was nice and quiet as most people were sat outside. The food was delicious, my wife had the fish and chips, I had the gluten-free smoked haddock and chorizo risotto, both we would highly recommend. The beer was a tad pricey but the view compensates for it. Service was quick and friendly, we would definitely recommend calling in and will be returning in the future.

Just so good this pub and a Robinson family favourite. Location and view is awesome, as was our Sunday roast yesterday. Matt and his team are brilliant we can’t recommend it highly enough

Very nice view and a pleasant location. Food came out quickly considering it was very busy and starters were good. We had muscles for the main and they were also very good. Overall great service and we would go again!

Booked a table for lunch. We were shown to a table in a corner - obviously squeezed in. Staff were really friendly. Pub in a lovely position. Food was disappointing. 2 tail end pieces of cod which were poor. Meat pie was dry on the...

Such a perfect location offering a most perfect stay. The building itself is finished well and so cozy. The views are truly breathtaking. The Tuna we had for evening dining was perfect. Major thanks to Sophie for looking after us so well (Very much appreciated)....

Stayed here overnight. Lovely place overlooking the water, good size room, huge bathroom with walk in shower. Plus the food was really good. I had the steak and ale pie which was great.

Charming spot and well run by Matthew and his team. It's not The Ritz, but it has a lot of nice points.

Just back from staying at chateau rhianfa who badly let us down on meal ao tried Gazelle. EXCELLENT,even went back next night. Food and staff top class and lovely setting on edge of sea.Highly recommended, steak and Guinness pie amazing.

We booked in for Sunday lunch. Both mum and I ordered the lamb roast. It was delicious - lots of veg, carrots, red cabbage, spring greens, cauliflower cheese, parsnips, roast potatoes and plenty of lamb along with a Yorkshire pudding and plenty of gravy. If...

A great special birthday meal with grandad - enjoyed by all. Lovely food, helpful friendly staff made a lovely evening all round.

Stopping for a well earned lunch. Great lunchtime menu with outstanding views overlooking Bangor pier and the Menai straits well worth it and good quality food and reasonable prices 10/10 .

Just called in for a family lunch, What a lovely place great views great service and lovely food. Would definitely recommend this place looks like a lovely place to stay as well. Staff were very attentive and we had a brilliant lunch.

Visited with family, waitress showed us our table and asked us on the way if we knew what we wanted to drink, having not sat down or looked at the menu we asked for a few minutes. She never came back to the table so...

Three adults -family for Sunday lunch. We all had Sunday roast which was fantastic . Staff very attentive until the restaurant filled up and then they appeared to be under staffed. Although we waited some time for our desert order to be taken, we eventually...

Very professional and friendly service and a lovely well cooked breakfast !! Set us up for a days walking .

Hotel is situated off a main road down a narrow lane. There are two car parks, one beer the top and one at the bottom. The hotel over looks the sea with picnic tables outside, it’s a beautiful view. Upon entering the restaurant is inviting...

arrived at 30pm , ordered the staeak pie, and my partner had the chicken, the meal was very tasty , unfortunately THEY ALLOW DOGS INTO THE RESTAURANT. NOT ONLY THAT IT WAS A YAPPY DOG. completely ruined the evening . i pointed this out to...

Spacious room with great view across to Bangor; beautiful food; good bar; attentive and helpful staff. Absolutely great.

Its been a few months since we have been to dine at the Gazelle for no particular reason but what a treat we were served up for lunch.My wife had the Green Lipped Mussels which were the best mussels she had ever tasted.Not a lover...

We stayed over night and the accommodation was nice with a beautiful sea view from the bed. We visited mid week so it was quiet. The atmosphere was warm and friendly. A bit disappointed with the menu but the food was great although small portions...

We went here after arriving fairly late travelling from Yorkshire. We were seated in a room opposite the bar, only two tables in it. The place is really cosy and warming, chairs comfortable and tables a good size. The toilets are really clean and the...

We took a taxi from Beaumaris because the Gazelle had been recommended for dinner. Lovely baked Camembert for starter, excellent steak and ale pie for mains. Good service, usually a beautiful outlook from restaurant across the Straits, but by mid October unfortunately darkness had fallen.

First off guys this is stunning location and God you pay for it, a pint of cider and a small gin and lemonade £10.45 the pub is set up for mainly diner's, and really that is its aim, seating for drinkers is in front of...

Excellent Welsh breakfast and a great service too! Very warm welcome from the owner and staff Amazing views Keep up the great work we will be back!

We ate twice at the Gazelle and enjoyed meals both times. Very accommodating when we were almost on closing time the one evening. Went back for lunch having booked, so book ahead as can be super busy. Our dog was allowed inside with us. Chocolate...

My wife and I stayed at The Gazelle for three nights towards the end of July. Our plan was to stay just one night but our incredible experience on the first day was so memorable thanks to the wonderful staff, fabulous food and amazing views,...

We were staying nearby and booked for Sunday lunch. The roast beef was delicious with lots of different veg, and the deserts were good too. The views are outstanding overlooking the straits to Bangor Pier and Snowdonia. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We...

Our party of 7 booked lunch at the Gazelle to enjoy the wonderful location and views. The staff were excellent and friendly, good food and good value. The Gazelle has been transformed under the management of the new tenant and his family.

The improvements being made at this breathtaking location are outstanding. The success will be measured by what comes out of the kitchen and todays meal was 99% better that the previous owners, it only looses 1% due to the anaemic cauliflower cheese, 2 seconds under...

Visited twice for dinner in June 22. First visit was very succesful, food was good if a little overpriced. The restaurant now seems to be concentrating on seafood, 8 fish dishes on offer, one chicken dish, one gammon dish and one veg dish. On our...

First off, it’s a Robbie pub so a thumbs up, secondly the fish and chips is incredible, so very delicate and light, thirdly the view over the Menai straight is incredible, I can’t think of a better place to stop for lunch.

We had been recommended to try this place. Beautiful location by the Menai Straits and we were pleased with our table by the window. I chose the chicken supreme which was beautifully presented with tender moist chicken breast, served in a rich creamy sauce with...

Called in for lunch and had a lovely meal. Food was awesome and the service was with a smile. The views from the Antelope across the Menai Straights are just breathtaking

Popped in for a bite of lunch and not only were we blown away by the views , the food and the service were absolutely top notch too, all of a very high standard and fairly priced . If you are in the area it...

Visited for a birthday celebration. Friendly team with a good menu. Place is also dog friendly. We’ll defiantly be back. Try the bread pudding.

We are staying just down the road for a week and been to The Gazelle twice. An excellent location, food superb and the staff very attentive. Would highly recommend. The views across the Menai Straits towards Snowdonia are wonderful.

WOW WOW WOW, Our wedding in 2020 cancelled due to covid, rearranged to April and venue changed to this wonderful hotel in a glorious setting. Christian and his dedicated team made our wedding stay (6 nites) and reception for all guests a memorable one. Food...

We first had drinks outside, looking over a stunning view of the other side of the estuary. The staff were lovely and efficient, providing fast and friendly service. Food was incredible, I particularly recommend the whitebait as a starter.

Location as we remembered, stunning! Staff all efficient yet busy, and food was fabulous. Everyone had different choices and all impressed with quality and flavour of meals. Thought the interior decor had really lifted the place, views across the straits are worth the steep climb...

Wonderful, polite and quick service, who were super friendly and catered all our needs. Food was gorgeous and I defo recommend coming here.

The Gazelle has been transformed into an amazing place to relax with friends and to eat really delicious food. Christian and his team have worked so hard to give their customers the best experience in a unique and very beautiful setting. Great menu with plenty...

Lovely food, plenty of it. My husband& I came for my birthday meal on Tues eve. The views were spectacular the food was delicious, the staff were friendly. We will definitely came here again. Highly recomnended!

A real gem! Great location for any walk on Anglesey. The view from our room was breath taking. Best breakfast - bacon & sausage local and very tasty. Draught ale on tap. We will stay next time in the area

The food was ok nothing more. The red lentil pate starter was good but what's with the glass pot it was served in? It's just a personal thing but I can't abide the modern obsession of putting crockery on your plate and taking up the...

5 out of 5. What a transformation under the new tenant! Thoroughly refurbished from a dingy unloved pub to super waterfront destination!

Lovely place, with breath taking views. Food was amazing absolutely cooked to perfection, both evening meal and breakfast

We had a lovely experience at the Gazelle. The food was wonderful and the staff were really friendly. We had our dog with us too which was great. One of our party was disabled and the staff could not have been more helpful, we had...

We had a large family evening meal here tonight which one of the pub landlords Christian arranged for us. The food was delicious, great starters such as prawns and chorizo, pate, fresh soup, and tempura prawns. For mains we mainly stuck with the homemade Welsh...

My first visit. Cosy inn. Probably great views in the daytime but stormy winter night allowed no great views. Whitebait, hummus and prawns starters very good. Mains enjoyed were fish & chips and a steak and ale pie. Decent wine list and pleasant serving staff.

Visited with hubby for 2 nights. Beautiful hotel! Amazing location! The view from the window was absolutely stunning, right across the menai straits! Probably the best hotel for views we have ever stayed in!! Breakfast was heavenly, again, probably the best breakfast we have ever...

I’ve been wanting to go for years to this place and I ask anyone reading this to just go when they can. It’s a little gem. It is bigger on the inside with lots of room . The view is amazing with its own jetty!!...

I few people locally had advised me to head to the gazelle Hotel for there apparently amazing roast. The selection on the Sunday menu was really good. I was assisted to a table very quickly, local wine was nice. The plating on the meal how...

This was a third visit to this restaurant/pub as I'm ever the optimist and always give somewhere a second/third chance. The location of this establishment is stunning on a beautiful hot day as it is right on the edge of the Menai Strait. Unfortunately the...

We called in to the Gazelle last week for an evening meal which was OK with attentive staff but felt we were in a room at the front not too big with all tables occupied given the present situation felt a bit uneasy . As...

We stayed 3 nights at the Gazelle hotel and can not fault this hotel. excellent service, excellent menu . on warm evenings there is a terrace to sit and dine. Booking is essential for accommodation and a table for dinning as it gets very busy,...

Visited today for a couple of drinks the staff are lovely especially the young girl,the wine was really good and real ales good choice, topped off with an amazing view Well done we would definitely come back Thank you

Visited here for the first time (although I’m local) - no complaints really, the food was OK, just OK, I had the steak and ale pie (had better) my son’s scampi, mash and mushy peas was a bit of a desperate attempt but there we...

We called in for a drink, beautiful views of Menai Straights in early evening. Graduated to restaurant to eat. Simple but well crafted menu covering all bases. We opted for mushroom linguine, Welsh sausages and mash, and Steak and Ale Pie. Faultless. The accolade of...

We visited the Gazelle twice in our short visit, the food was lovely and the views great but the best thing about the whole experience was the staff. The manager/ owner was so accommodating and all the waiting staff very efficient and friendly. If we...

First visit and what a lovely experience. The views from the restaurant over the Menai Straits are breathtaking. Bangor pier looks so close. Food and service was great, a super lunchtime meal. Highly recommend.

The service was outstanding, table service and plenty outdoors seating with great views across the Menai Straits, The food arrived and looked great it tasted great too, both Eveni g meal and Breakfast, so compliments to the Chef, we stayed the night in a very...

This is clearly a well managed and run hotel/restaurant. The team were attentive and quick to serve us, the menu was varied but not pretentious and the beer choice was just right. Wine was a little expensive, but a reasonable selection. Our meals were very...

Absolutely fantastic hotel. Beautiful setting, views of Snowdonia and the Menai Straits over to the Great Orme. Service was spot on, friendly and efficient staff/crew. Evening meal and breakfast was delicious and of a high standard. Room was amazing, light and airy with a contemporary...

Really great family catch up at the Gazelle last week. Friendly service & delicious food. Always reasonably priced also.

We had a wonderful meal. Tasty and delicious food with brilliant customer service. It was a beautiful sunny evening and the views are spectacular. I would highly recommend a visit.

Wonderful location on the Menai Strait opposite Bangor Pier. My friend had a wonderful salad covered with lots of good quality chicken slices. I had a burger and I must say I was a bit disappointed as the burger was quite thin and inferior to...

We sat outside overlooking the beautiful Menai Straits. It was quite busy and we were served promptly by friendly staff. We had a very enjoyable lunch and will certainly visit again.

A friend and I had Sunday lunch, yesterday, at The Gazelle. Probably the best roast dinner I have ever had - and that is no exaggeration. Every single item on the plate - and there were many - was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My...

We stayed for a couple of nights and firstly we were really impressed with the food, portions, quality and price. We stayed in the Annexe, which was really basic but had what we needed and we just used it as a base. The views from...

Popped in en route on a walk and after the chaos of Beaumaris it was brilliant to be welcomed quickly and efficiently. Beer was good but wow the food was amazing. Highlight was the squid which was perfect. Sort of place where everyone else's food...

Came to the gazelle for a celebratory breakfast for my daughter's 17th recently. We booked the night before and had asked for a table with a view, for which we were accommodated. The food was gorgeous (full Welsh and veggie breakfasts all round), constant supply...

We were very tired and hungry when we stopped at the Gazelle. Soon felt refreshed and rested. Fabulous Sunday roast (award winning Yorkies!) and amazing views. ☺ We will be back! Thank you.

My family and I enjoyed a delicious 2 course Sunday lunch here with the best yorki puds ever! The chef was fantastic, delivered some tasty food and also went the extra mile with a few surprises for my mums birthday:) the service all round was...

Visited gazelle for lunch with friends, very impressed with the food, it was lovely, the staff were very good, beautiful views aswell, will definitely be going back.

Took my mom for a nice meal out. The service was excellent.. my mom is disabled and we were thought about with seating which is lovely. The food was lovely well presented and tasty. Puddings were beautiful my mom was very happy. The views from...

Would not return here for a meal. Service was slow. Very limited choice menu. Two of us had burgers which were tasteless and dry. Husband had gammon which he found very salty. Would have had a better meal at a cafeteria. Very disappointed.

Lovely location, food was overpriced and very disappointing. Starters came out at different times, some on our table had finished theirs before ours had arrived. The main courses were very disappointing, the chicken was dry, the gammon was extremely salty, the chips were greasy. All...

We were recommended to try this restaurant for an evening meal and were disappointed. The food was edible but definitely in the "pub grub" category. It wasn't particularly cheap.

A wonderful stay at the Gazelle! The new owners really understand customer service and have made a huge difference already! Nothing is too much trouble! Food is gorgeous and the rooms very comfortable. The view is to die for on a nice day, and the...

Stayed and ate here, top class food and brilliant service too. The lobster and steak was amazing and the food is locally sourced, 10/10👌

We sat outside at lunchtime as the weather was good. A little disappointing that there was no Sunday Roast on Sunday, but the food was good.

Had a leisurely Sunday afternoon With wine and local Mussels, one of the best mussels I’ve had, young chap taking orders was very pleasant and helpful, little concerned with the young lady with blue streaks in her hair, when I asked for cutlery as she...

Very disappointed in this place had the above meal which was £14 which shockingly was served with frozen chips and you could count the amount of chips on your plate at one glance. Don't bother it's not worth the effort.

Yes I did say the sun.... We stop of here everytime we visit the island,great pub and resaurant the staff are welcoming and efficient. We sat outside in the tiki bar area overlooking the lovely views over the striats to bangor mariner the food was...

Evening meal with friends - very busy with no room in the car park (which is pretty small).so had to park on the main road (less than ideal). Location is superb right on the Menai Strait but, again, no free tables outside to enjoy a...

We came as a large family of 8 Youngest was 5 and oldest was 60. The place was perfect. A view to die for, we ate there every night ( I would advise this unless you want to take the car out and NO WHERE...

Great staff, great food. …..Chris and his manger Rufus are on the ball. Comfortable rooms with a great view if a Menai view is booked. We will be visiting them every 2 months at this rate! Choice of inside and outside dining . Great selection...

Staff very attentive, nothing is too much trouble. Made us feel very welcome and dealt with our requests promptly. Food was amazing! Fresh, delicious and presented perfectly. Our room was very comfortable with views to die for.. All in all I definitely recommend. If you...
