The Moelwyn in Gwynedd

Kitchen was out of use so we ate in Criccieth. Free parking, really friendly helpful hosts, clean and extremely comfortable. Room overlooking the beach. We will definitely return. Thank you

Booked and paid through Expedia for 2 nights in June. After booking I needed to be in hospital early on the day after the 2nd night , so asked Expedia well with free cancellation period to cancel 2nd night . Expedia could not contact hotel as none of the phones on the website are answered. I also sent Moelwyn an email, this wasn't answered either. On arriving at hotel I can say that the people managing it Steve and Jo are lovely and the room itself was great. I informed Jo of the problems with Expedia and she said that I'd receive a refund after 21st June as thats when Expedia paid them. No refund came so I phoned the mobile no written on hotel door, got to speak to owner Tom, who said it'd be refunded on 21st July...no refund again. It's now 24th Aug and despite half a dozen phone calls I have not been refunded.

We stayed here overnight. It was a really great place to stay, clean, warm and comfortable. You can’t beat the location or the views. Joe is super helpful and couldn’t do anymore than she does for you even to the point of coming to the cafe where we were having breakfast with my straighteners that I had left in the room! Thanks for a lovely stay. We will be back! Laura and Patrick

We stayed over night. The restaurant is currently closed after a flood apparently caused by a guest. The refurb looks amazing and we were allowed to have our takeaway tea in the restaurant with great views over the bay from the terrace. A cafe serving breakfast from 8am is only 50 metres away

Booked a winter special on the understanding that breakfast Wi-Fi would be included. On arrival was told there was no breakfast or Wi-Fi. The room was shabby, the carpet filthy and en-suite grubby. Not to mention no tv signal, flakey paint hanging from the ceiling, lining hanging from the curtain and a cracked bedside lamp shade. Such a shame this old well positioned hotel is in desperate need of renovation. We were bitterly disappointed. Although dog friendly there was no mention of any £10 charge for our dog. £150 for a 2 night stay was a rip off. Hence the one star. We will not be returning and would not recommend to family and fiends.

We will not be going to this restaurant not made very welcome. After sitting down told we had to move as the was a party coming, just told we could sit inside or outside the tables and chairs were all wet. Walked across the road made very welcome

What can I say ! First class location on the balcony with panoramic sea views, having ordered one of the best beef Sunday roast dinners we have ever had, backed up with first class very friendly service from the staff 100% will return

The menu looked ok for lunch and we had dined here one evening many years ago and the meal was excellent so we ventured forth. What a mistake that was. There was a musty smell on entering the building…should have been a warning to turn round! Menus were dirty, condiments were dirty and needed cleaning including the mayonnaise bottle which had ketchup on the lid. The adjacent window ledge had old tomato on it. I wanted to leave but hubby wouldn’t! I ordered a tuna panini . Panini was hot , tuna was dry but couldn’t use the mayo bottle as it had tomato sauce on it . ( I hate tomato sauce) Accompanying sale had a lot of brown edged lettuce leaves in it which I can’t abide so I left the salad untouched. Husband had a beef burger and chips. Beef burger was ok, chips a little over done. But he was happier with his meal. Service was ok, certainly not attentive or particularly courteous. We will not visit again.

Wedding Reception....tiny bar and small restaurant but perfect for the small wedding reception Food...ok

Really bad service, and the workers were just playing around. One year ago this was my favourite place.

We stopped off here for breakfast. We were made to feel very welcome and the breakfast was gorgeous. (We had the full cooked breakfast)

We stayed at this B&B and in fairness this aspect of our visit was splendid. We had a room on the top floor which gave extensive views of the beach and shoreline in both directions with vistas of the mountains beyond. There was a friendly and cheerful welcome from our host and the room was clean and well stocked with toiletries and all the usual accoutrements. We hadn not booked an evening meal the first night as we were unsure of our travel times but asked if there was a table available on the Saturday and what time would be best. We were given a booking for 6pm which I assumed was due to a full schedule so we accepted despite it being earlier than our usual time of dining (but I was disappointed when other guests arrived and were offered 8 or 8:30). Our waiter (who seemed to be a barman, dishwasher and all round dogsbody was cheerful but very much in the style of Basil Fawlty, was forced to repeatedly return to our table (and others around us) to report that the dish we chose was unavailable or the kitchen had run out. Frankly, the prices on the menu and the fact this venue is presented as a "Restaurant wit Rooms" led me to believe that we would experience fine dining but this was far from the case. On finally selecting a main course that was available (and recommended by regular attendees) I would judge the lamb to be cooked well and very tender but the braised leek and other garnishes on the plate were cooked to destruction and the small dish of veggies (served on the side) were overdone - considerably on the mushy side of al dente! Breakfasts were included and the "Full English" was generous but uneventful. I would definitely recommend the B&B as a good value stay but sadly, will not be eating in the restaurant on our next visit.

Amazing, good-quality food and lovely service! Made a great effort for my birthday celebration. Would highly recommend.

Just wanted to say a big thankyou to all the staff at the moelwyn restaurant and hotel you have all made me and my husband feel very welcome for the 4 nights that we stayed the hotel room was very nice clean and the bed was very comfortable best night sleep ever good choice of meals on the menu and fantastic food carnt wait to come back next year

We have walked past a lot and were not sure if it was a restaurant for the hotel or anyone. They now have boards up, so we called in with the dogs and sat on the outside decking, lovely view. A young lad served us, absolute credit to the restaurant, confident and good front of house, nothing was too much trouble, we had 2 all day breakfasts which were well cooked, and lovely and hot, offered a choice of eggs etc. It was nice to be offered unlimited tea and coffee. All in all we enjoyed our visit, if I was going to be picky, tables were a little tight and the coffee could do with being a bit stronger.

We were on holiday and it was Father's Day weekend. We could not find anywhere that had a table available. My husband visited and asked if a table was available. The lady said that the only table available was on outside on the balcony. My husband said yes we would accept as it was a lovely warm evening with a lovely view overlooking the sea. We were so glad we did as the food was excellent and the level of service and staff were excellent too. The young man that served us was very polite and friendly and could not do enough for us. We enjoyed the evening and food and will be visiting again.

Unfortunately we were recommended this restaurant but we’re disappointed as ordered moules large and we’re possibly the worst we’ve ever had! They ran out of choices despite being quite a limited menu. When we informed the staff of our disappointment she replied she didn’t like mussels

We were looking for a venue for a family gathering for twenty, we went to Moelwyn to see if they could accommodate us. The front of house, Amelia, could not have been more helpful, she said we could have the whole room to ourselves and the use of the bar. See sent us all the details, together with full menus, which catered for every taste. One of our party is a professional chef and was very complementary about the food, not only the taste but the way it was presented. We gave Tom, the chef a huge round of applause when he entered the room. Nothing was too much trouble, for Amelia and Tom, which made for a perfect night for everybody. We will be back soon to enjoy this restaurant again soon, and we would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone who enjoys good food, and great service

We attended the Moelwyn on Saturday 6th August for a family wedding meal. Although the dining room was small, we had the full room and it was perfect for the amount of people there. My partner and I shared the starter platter, which was lovely, the prawns cooked to perfection! Our steak and pork mains were lovely too, and the chocolate dessert amazing! Special shout out to Amelia, who couldn't do enough for us, even accomodating my request for a takeaway dessert when I had to leave due to my daughter's bedtime. As we have family in Criccieth we will definitely be back! Thanks for everything!

Stopped for a much needed food & fluid break, after walking across country from Porthmadog. Great welcome and service, food excellent and good local knowledge so we could get a taxi back! 🤣

This was one of the best burgers ive had in a very long time. All homemade, juicy and full of flavour! The young waitress was very kind and welcoming too. Safe to say I will be here again 👍🏻

This was our first holiday in more than two years. We couldn't have chosen a better homely place to stay,wake up in the morning and see beautiful Cardigan Bay. Olwen, Tom and Amelia looked after us so well. Food for both breakfast, lunch and dinner...

Excellent food. Steak delicious, Pork Belly was lovely, crackling could be improved. Very friendly staff.

So, we got soaked in a huge thunder storm that sat over Criccieth for hours and headed inside The Moelwyn in the hope of food and somewhere dry. Even though Tom was closing the restaurant soon he made us very welcome, sat us down and...

Visited the Moelwyn for lunch on Saturday 30th April. Unfortunately they were only serving cakes, scones and teacakes, with drinks. Some of us ordered scones, and the rest ordered teacakes. When to food arrived, we viewed the teacakes with disbelief ... they were huge. Almost...

Lovely hosts, but poor value for money. Sorry. Breakfast was very basic. Disappointed with the lack of WiFi. We expected a bar and restaurant but we were not informed until arrival that both were closed.

We came to this hotel and to this town for the first time. A very charming place, the owners were very friendly people and very helpful. We spent very lovely moments there. Thank you for your hospitality.

We are also staying at this establishment and we liked the menu so we tried it out. The service was friendly and welcoming. We had drinks in the bar prior to our dinner which was nice. I started with the crispy bacon salad followed by...

Having visited this restaurant many times before, and always having an enjoyable Sunday lunch with dessert for a £13 price, we were so disappointed with the offering today. The portions were very small, especially the undercooked stringy meat and there was no dessert to follow....

We travelled to Criccieth to meet relations and to eat at the Moelwyn, which we have done before and have thoroughly enjoyed the meal and ambience. The visit was different. My steak was over cooked, my wife’s drink was not what she had ordered and...

Our meal at the Moelwyn Restaurant was very disappointing. We placed our order of 2 starters plus 4 mains and with no food by 30 minutes a party of 8 arrived. Once they placed their order they were told everything is cooked fresh so it...

We normally come several times in the summer and have an outstanding meal! Bearing in min it’s the beginning of a bank holiday weekend , we were told on arrival that 3 main course were off there varied but limited menu! We chose two goats...

Well, been through the menu and most stuff is off. Used to be a regular. Has the place changed hands?

Came for a evening meal on the Saturday after Valentines, the 3 course set dinner was still on at £24.95 for 3 courses. Good selection and all were well cooked. Service friendly but efficient.

Stayed at the moelwyn over the weekend with my husband and kids really enjoyed myself fantastic service from all the staff from the moment I checked in lovely room and fantastic food highly recommend will be back soon thank you

A massive thank you for the Molewyn for hosting Christmas Lunch, the food was brilliant and the surroundings tasteful. Christmas dinner with a view of the beach what more could we ask for. Thank You Amelia and Tom

We had used The Moelwyn in 2017 for Christmas Lunch, and because it was a fantastic experience, and as we again didn’t want to be driving, We decided to go there again. Once again, we weren’t disappointed ! and in truth it was probably even better! As soon as we walked in, we felt the whole Christmas Atmosphere and were greeted by Tom who took our coats and led us Into the lounge where were offered Prosecco to start our Christmas Lunch. Started with Canapés and then onto the 6 Courses Which left us full and contented which, along with the service, was everything that we expected and was a brilliant start to Christmas. See you Next Year Tom & Amelia

Great host and owner. Very cosy and welcoming on a cold winters night. Food was excellent and very good wine choice. Beautiful setting overlooking the bay - can only imagine this is stunning in the summer. Thoroughly recommend.

We turned up last Wednesday evening without booking, on the off chance of finding a table, and were invited to wait in the lounge until a table became vacant. We ordered a bottle of wine while we waited and as we deliberated which to go for, the hospitable Amelia gave us her recommendations and even a tasting to help us decide. Much appreciated as she was clearly very busy. Our meal was very good, beautifully cooked and presented. Service was friendly and efficient, prompt but not rushed, and the bill quite reasonable. So why not five stars - what went wrong?

Great Sunday lunch on a lovely sunny day overlooking the sea. Tasty ingredients, good welcome, good value with a pudding. Get in early because it can get full quickly.

Had dinner here while staying in Criccieth. The restaurant is within the hotel but open to non-residents, as we were. It's a small restaurant so best to book, especially and peak times, and they do turn tables at busy times. It didn't start well when we arrived but there was no one to show us to a table. We stood in the doorway for around 5 minutes before anyone appeared. As to the meal, the food was very good, however the starter I had, chicken livers, was so filling, probably too big, it did somewhat spoil the main course as I was already quite full - perhaps I shouldn't have eaten it all? Both our main courses, lamb and pork belly were good. Overall we were very happy with both the flavour and quality of the food. The service was OK, generally good, although there were some quite long periods when no one was available in the restaurant, just one waitress was working although the small restaurant wasn't full during our visit.

This is a great choice if you want to have great seaside views plus good food and friendly service. We went for Sunday Lunch but also lovely for dinner and a more limited lunch menu is available. Good value and very good standard of food. Will definitely be returning.

So pleased that they managed to squeeze us in at the last minute as we had a lovely meal, in seats with a great view of the beach.

Started off ok then went downhill. 3/4 hour wait for our food altho no one else waiting. Mashed potatoes were lumpy, veg had the life cooked out of them.

Visited on an evening in cricetth lovely clean restaurant- menu is good not too long as you find in a lot of places - 7.30 they did not have quiet a few things off the menu other than that food when it came was excellent presented nicely hot tasted lovely very tasty - worth a visit - I feel for adults not families with small

We visited whilst on holiday,,,the food was really nice but I’m not sure whether we would revisit,,,,reason being there was quite a bit of noise from the kitchen area,and also because it’s a hotel as well there were people coming up to the reception area on mobile phones so you had their conversation as well as the noise from the kitchen so in that respect it wasn’t the atmosphere we were expecting....but when the food did finally arrive after waiting about half an hour it was good!

We arrived early and managed to get an early bird deal. Had a nice bottle of wine to start with in the bar where we ordered food from. Taken to our table when the starters were ready (quite quickly). Food was delicious. Staff were helpful in getting us to decide what to eat. Main and pudding both lovely. The young waitress was quick and pleasant. Medium priced but you pay for what you get, so good value overall.

Delicious rare roast beef and Yorkshire pudding ..pleasant surroundings with view of the sea.. choice of puddings. Both scrumptious

Lovely food but there was a long wait , this was expected as we were a table of 9 but we had to wait over and hour for a starter and some drinks just didn’t turn up , the food was lovely and some staff were friendly but there was one woman named Bethany who looked down on us as customers and was very rude , we would give it another chance but was a bit disappointing

After missing out on a previous evening, we were pleased to be able to reserve a table.

After reading some positive reviews, my wife and I decided to pop in to The Moelwyn for lunch. The experience started badly with a greatly reduced lunch menu, with the best option being fish & chips; which is tough to get wrong. Unfortunately, rather than a nicely cooked fresh batters cod, what we ate looked and tasted like a Birdseye fish steak. I also ordered a Diet Coke, which was warm, so when added to ice led to a flat drink. Finally, my wife asked for a soya milk cappuccino, which they couldn’t accommodate. The only positive in the experience was the service, which was fast and courteous. Perhaps, dinner would be better, but lunch should be avoided.

Very nice restaurant with modern furniture. My white wine wasn't very chilled however the mussels were out of this world. Would recommend this restaurant.

This is the second time I've dined at the Moelwyn and am glad to say the food was just as spectacular as the first. We managed to reserve a table on the raised outdoor balcony for dinner. The views from here are absolutely stunning! We were greeted by Amelia, who it later transpired, is the co owner of the Moelwyn with her future husband Tom. I can honestly say, I have never experienced such a fantastic customer experience. I was dining with my friend and our daughter's ranging from 13 - 20 years. The menu had a great selection and they were happy to accommodate fussy teenagers. Amelia is bubbly, extremely friendly and even went the extra mile to offer us a lift back to our caravan so I could have an extra glass of wine..... Fortunately for Amelia, Tony the local taxi driver came to the rescue. If you are lucky enough to be staying in this area, definitely dine at the Moelwyn, you will not be disappointed!

Called here for a drink one lunchtime and a very friendly lady was more than happy to answer questions, she told us about the area and various places to eat. On leaving we decided to alter our plans for the last evening and booked a table for 4.

Had Saturday night dinner here on the first night of our holiday in Criccieth. Hadn't booked but we're very fortunate to get a table - would recommend booking as you may not be so lucky. Had 2 courses and thoroughly enjoyed both starters and mains. We were asked very nicely to move into the bar for our tea/ coffee to free up the table. We were given this free of charge as a thank you despite our protestations that it wasn't necessary.

Excellent menu. Quality food. Good selection of wines/drinks. Friendly informative staff. Nice atmosphere. Tad pricey

A lovely spot for evening dinner, great views and a nice well prepared menu. Staff are welcoming and really helpful and obliging. We asked for window seat and for our youngster a burger which is only on daytime menu. Prices are reasonable, worth reserving a table as it can be busy in the evening.

We were grateful for the staff for fitting us in for an early dinner but we were left a little underwhelmed by the meals. We ordered the house Sauvignon Blanc only to be told later that it wasn't chilled. So choose again. Okay no big deal. We ordered the moules fries. One mariniere and the other espanyol. While the sauces were tasty, the mussels were overcooked and tiny. The fries were frozen chunky chips. This is a notoriously easy meal to get right. We left without dessert. I notice that the management are quick to respond to negative reviews and pride themselves on 45 years experience etc. Great, but it didn't translate to providing a meal that was memorable nor worth the money spent. A shame.

This restaurant offers various choices for a delicious meal in a pleasant environment. It is a treat to ask for a table by a window to enjoy the view. The food is very well presented and quite succulent.

I visited The Moelwyn on May Bank holiday for an anniversary dinner, the Menu is gorgeous, the food is suberb, the setting is stunning!

We fancied a roast dinner and this place looked really nice. The staff were friendly and attentive. The first problem was my diet coke that wasn't very cold and only had one ice cube in it. My other half had a beer which wad fine. The roast portion was quite small. Only 2 potatoes. The beef was so rare we struggled to cut through it however the gravy was delicious. The Apple crumble was overcooked and the custard was so runny it could have been cream. I understand they are refurbishing at the moment so maybe that was the real problem but for us we would not go back again.

My husband and I visited this restaurant just after the Easter break so it wasn't particularly busy. The staff were extremely helpful and the food was delicious.

As we live in Criccieth and having had a bad year with My wife’s parents passing away, I decided that I didn’t want her to have to cook this year. As we hadn’t been in The Moelwyn for a while and as they were open for Christmas Lunch this year I decided to book a table. It was a good decision!!

Stopped for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Crab linguine was excellent flavour although portion size could have been bigger. Fish and chips was ok. Sunday roast was good, with generous portion of crumble for dessert.

We called in for morning coffee and were so impressed we booked a table for dinner. The food was excellent as was the service. Well done team Moelwyn keep up the excellent work we look forward to coming back.

We were very lucky to get a reservation as it was very busy the night we stayed in Criccieth. The staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was lovely. We did have a longer wait than expected for the food but as we...

Disappointingly, I have to disagree with recent reviews about this restaurant. Our experience (and we only ate there once) was that the service was very slow, and not especially friendly either. Portion-control was very inconsistent too with (supposedly) identical dishes varying significantly in quantity. To conclude our unhappy meal here, we chose the cheeseboard for two people. Five (small) pieces of cheese and a meagre selection of biscuits at a very considerable price was a disgrace. As always, I mentioned our feelings to the waitress who seemed bemused that anyone would dare say anything adverse. I never make such comments lightly or without foundation. My own experience here means I would not return.

Stayed 3 nights in Crricieth and went to this Restaurant on 2 evenings

Over our 4 day stay in Porthmadog we ended up having a lunch time and evening meal at Moelwyn and on both occasions the food was simply fantastic.

Awesome find this restaurant after being practically ignored at Dylan's we walked along and entered here to a very warm welcome and then served what can only be described as amazing food, wife and step daughter shared smoked salmon and I had the fish cakes all so tasty, for mains i had crab linguini, step daughter had a small portion of mussels and prawns, wife had the half lobster in garlic butter all which we tasted was truly fantastic and we couldn't pick a favourite, we will definitely go again if over that way and will try and stay as the room rates looked very good. You must go if you are a goody and in criccieth or the surrounding areas.

Dined here without a booking and had a great meal. Plenty of options on the menu and you can sit in the bar area, restaurant or outside on the balcony. Only downside was that they seemed short-staffed as one young waitress seemed to be doing everything. Consequently when soup was brought to one of our party, no soup spoon was brought and it took a good 5 minutes before one appeared.

The food here is out of this world! We went twice for dinner in one week and we booked both times because the restaurant is very small. However we noticed that occasionally people manged to get a table without booking. The fish was absolutely fresh, the steak was local beef and tender, the vegetarian dishes imaginative. We really liked the generous portions of vegetables which came at no extra cost.We enjoyed the wines although they were quite expensive.The Moelwyn also offers rooms and is our intended destination next time we travel to Criccieth! There are set menus which offer very good value although we didn't get to try them.

We are regulars on the Lleyn however, we very rarely travel from our base on the northern side to eat in an evening, even though Criccieth is 25 minutes away. We went over with friends to see the castle and booked an early(6pm) meal in the Moelwyn. Firstly the service was excellent, all staff were attentive but, not in your face. The food was excellent, starters, mains and puddings were all fresh and well presented and good portion sizes, all topped off with an excellent uninterrupted view across Cardigan Bay.By the time we had finished our desserts the restaurant was full so I would recommend booking.An excellent dining experience and also excellent value, we will certainly be back.

We ate here in August 2017 after a recommendation from our hotel. We were not disappointed the service and food were really good. Staff were really pleasant and accommodating. We sat on the lovely terrace for pre dinner drinks and after dinner drinks which was very pleasant. The waitress came out to let us know when our meal,was about to be served. Overall a good experience and will return when we visit Criccieth again. Only reason I have not given it 5 is that our table was a little cramped with not much room, but then again they were very busy, which is always a good sign.

Lovely food, especially the local mussels cooked in imaginative ways, great service, fantastic views, thank you

Attentive and pleasant staff who worked hard to ensure that all guests were happy. The food was exceptional and we had a lovely dinner- thank you We will definitely be back!

Returned to this restaurant which we visited 2 years ago it was good then this year it is still very good. A good menu with very helpful staff. You do need to book Go on a Thursday you get an extra with a life boat practice as well

Very nice restaurant with views of bay. Great waiting staff, friendly and professional. Welsh lamb was excellent. A real treat

Had an evening meal here. The cod I had was definately the most tasty |I have ever had and the choice of foodwas wide. The atmosphere in here makes it very special for anyoccasion but the lady who served us was outstanding, so professional and friendly and this made the experience one to remember.Will be back when in Criccieth again.

We have had morning drinks here twice. But THREE times in the last six months we have been there when the boards outside have clearly shown it to be open, coffee from 11.00 and lunches from 12.30, actual coffee and lunch times advertising it to be open..........only to find it closed. They are trying hard and the quality on offer is good. They have a lovely outside terrace with an enticing view, but to be successful they MUST show when they are open and when they are closed, because after these three experiences we won't be going again.

Went last night, had the set menu, two courses, and couldn't fault anything. The waitresses were extremely pleasant and attentive, and the food excellent and beautifully presented

We booked this restaurant purely because it was open on a Sunday evening. What luck. The food was superb. The service excellent. And the atmosphere warm & friendly. Not especially cheap, but worth every penny.

Good food served in a pleasant surrounding with some tables having sea views. Nice bar area for a pre dinner drink

Three of us stayed here for three nights over a weekend. We stayed in rooms 5 and 6.Our rooms were clean, the beds comfortable and we slept well, without any noise from outside the restaurant and B and B. The breakfasts were excellent. The owner and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The Moelwyn is directly opposite the Criccieth Beach and our rooms had views of the spectacular sea and mountains beyond although our room 6 had a window that was above eye level. This is not a flash accommodation option but there's not one thing wrong with it and it provides incredible value for money. I recommend it most highly.

My daughter and young granddaughter were staying in the area with me for a short break. We went to see the castle and decided to stop at the Moelwyn for a quick lunch.....best decision as food was a pure delight and the service was second to none. My 3 year old granddaughter had her own sandwiches which wasn't frowned upon and we ordered some ice cream for her....it was amazing and presented so well with a strawberry sauce in a separate container and sprinkles too....she was thrilled..!! The staff (1 guy) was the nicest friendliest man we'd met who also introduced us to his baby daughter....lovely experience and top class food...we will be back.

We stopped in for lunch on a Sunday and did not expect very much but WOW, was I wrong ! The staff here are fantastic and very attentive and also very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was sooooooooooooo good and a delight to eat. Fish and chips have never been presented and cooked so well. Crab linguini fantastic, wine list, Great. But the special desert which was a Chocolate Moulexe ( I would travel miles for) please, please put this on the menu "full time". We booked again for the Wednesday evening but was unable to keep the booking due to being in A&E but we did go back on Thursday for an evening meal and guess what, it was even better. Moules, great, balsamic reduction (served with bread) worth a mention. Cannot wait to go back.Just a few comments for owners:The way you present the menu is similar to very low grade sea side café establishments and (I think) this cheapens the appearance.Just make sure the waiting staff are aware when special deserts are not availableThese are meant to be helpful and not destructive in any way. We loved you all.

What an absolute delight - from the moment we entered to time we left - we were looked after like royalty. All the staff were pleasant and polite with the manager, Amelia, confident and attentative at the helm. After pre meal drinks we were led through to the smartly decorated dining area and were treated to a wonderful 3 course dining experience. Well presented, wholesome, tasty and good value for money. Nice choice of wines......and then........no port left to accompany the cheeseboard!!!!!....disaster loomed large.......but just in the nick of time the cavalry arrived......the ever helpfull Amelia jumped into her car parked outside and screeched off into the night.......only to return minutes later duly stocked with the missing port swiftly seconded from the local wine suppliers down the road........BRAVO!......where else would you get service and dedication to customer satisfaction than this. Only in Britain - and more specifically......Wales. Well done Wales and well done the Moelwyn - you're a credit to your business......you should be proud of yourselves.

Great early Sunday lunch with family. Good service and varied menu. Kids sausages made be jealous despite ordering the lamb roast. Reasonable price.

Fab meal, lamb rump or scallop linguine, it's a difficult choice because they are both fab. Don't forget sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Well done Tom and staff.

We went to the Moelwyn for a meal with friends on the 20th May and really enjoyed the excellent food and the beautiful surroundings. The staff were attentive and we would certainly recommend going to this lovely restaurant for a any meal. Breakfast lunch and dinner are all served there and all excellent.(We haven't tried breakfast as we live in Criccieth )but we have heard it is good.Make sure you telephone early to get a reservation as it is very popular and you dont want to miss this experience. Thanks Tom, Amelia and all the staff. ....Richard and Ann x

Stopped by for a coffe and a scone on the terrace. Hosts were lovely and friendly with excellent service. Setting was beautiful, excellent quality food and drink. Will certainly be visiting again soon!

Sitting on the terrace overlooking the bay in sunshine, what could be better? The arrival of our lunch which was absolutely first-class. There were 3 generations in the group - and no-one had any complaints. That's a result. Staff very friendly and helpful. We'll be back, whatever the weather.

Excellent selection of food both traditional fair and an array of seafood. Muscles from the near by Menai Straits were superb with lovely sauce. All demolished. My wife and I both selected Sea Base for main course that was well cooked and presented well with a pleasant but simple range of freshly cooked vegetables. Declined a desert to preserve my svelt like figure but it took some will power. Two coffees finished off a perfect meal. Service was prompt and attentive without being overbearing. Hope to return soon, a must every time we're in town. First class.

We were there on a quiet night in Feb 2017. Food was excellent and we also sat around the fire in the lounge/bar before and after our meal having drinks. Excellent value as well.

What a fantastic evening. We went 3 days after Christmas and only called that morning for a reservation. Not only could they accommodate us but they were happy to have us. The welcome we got when we arrived was like nipping in to your mates house for dinner and by the end of the evening we'd met their baby daughter and their dog. The food was ace, service was as good as you could hope to get and it was even great value for money. Can't recommend this place highly enough. My in laws are even talking about coming back to stay .....praise indeed I assure you. Thanks for having us.

Service was very pleasant and helpful the food when it eventually arrived was burnt which really surprised us because there was only us in the restaurant. Not value for money which was such a let down to a quite nice quaint establishment.

Very friendly staff but the food didn't really sparkle!!!! nothing really wrong but I just felt it average at best. I thought the decor in the restaurant needed updating and the food a lift. Not that cheap overall but to finish on a positive, the sticky toffee tasted great!

Booked here last minute for a Sunday lunch with our extended family & had a lovely meal. Food was great & reasonably priced & the roast beef was excellently cooked. Gut crumble afterwards was also lovely but custard a little runny if I was being picky. The staff were great and nothing was too much trouble. They served with a good sense of humour too. Would go back.
