The Royal in Gwynedd

What a gem of a pub ,from outside snd the door you squeeze through you would expect a tiny pub .BIg shock ,it's huge .Went in a few times and staff on every occasion excellent .We did not eat but the plates coming out made us feel like we missed out .Take time to go into the top room to see the fantastic talent of an artist ,a quiet unassuming man we had brief words with .Altogether one of our favourite pubs in Barmouth

Fabulous home cooked food. Great price, wonderful real ale. Great for meals in the day, if only you can get a place..the word is out !

Stayed here for two nights last weekend. Had breakfast, late lunch and lots of drinks. Would visit here again in a heartbeat. The room was immaculate, beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. We had breakfast earlier than usual on the Saturday due to my husband doing a swim. Paul and all of the staff couldn’t have been any more accommodating and friendly! Came back in the day for drinks and lunch. The food was fantastic! A really great atmosphere in the pub with both locals and holiday makers. The artwork around the pub is unique. They have games and drawing for kids and go above and beyond to make sure the kids are happy and welcomed, particularly when our girl decided to have a few meltdowns! What stood out most for me and our friends was the team. So friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. My daughter left her headphones in the room, she was obsessed with opening all the drawers and cupboards! The team contacted us, said they’d found them and posted them back to us. Simply put outstanding service and hospitality all round. Thanks so much for such an amazing visit, we will definitely be back in the future!

Fantastic food, lovely pub, bar staff amd waiting on staff work really hard, definitely go back

Brilliant pub, huge, quirky and dog friendly. A very long happy hour and large beer gardens, loved the place. The staff were brilliant and a very friendly crowd in there

Very simple. My self and my partner. Took a few days badly needed break. We had a couple of drinks before entering the Royal. For an evening meal. Which we think may of been apparent, to said bar staff at the time. We both we're very aware that a £20.00 was exchanged for 1 pint of lager and 1 large coke. We were given change for a £10. Note. After disputing, being ripped off. We we're made to feel in the wrong....We will never spend our money in this establishment again.

Beautiful Sunday lunch with generous portions. We prebooked in advance. It was a wet rainy day but we received a very warm welcome. Staff were very accommodating with my allergy. Sunday lunch was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. My 4 year old had the kids Sunday lunch and it wasn’t far off what I’d serve an adult. We shared the Lemon meringue pie as couldn’t fit one in to myself! My only complaint was no cranberry or apple sauce. Would absolutely recommend!! I’ve uploaded a photo of the menu as struggled to find online

Great atmosphere cheap drinks nice staff

Absolutely perfect! We were a group of 15 and had a perfect order! Everything hot, delicious, cheap and quick! Service was amazing and we all played pool afterwards! Couldn’t recommend highly enough

Great place to watch the football ,food looked good too.staff great 👍

Lovely friendly staff.Very reasonably priced menu.Loved the gluten free option for fish so good, perfect batter.Excellent prompt service also from bar staff.

Just got back from a night away at The Royal couldn't fault it at all.The room was amazing very clean breakfast was lovely too and very friendly staff will be returning x

Lovely drinks, great views and dog friendly! Fabulous!

Had a lovely meal here as a treat 😋 😍 🥰

Amazing hotel. We stayed 2 nights in the superior double . Spotlessly clean , good food , good choice of beer at great prices but most importantly professional friendly polite staff. Really made to feel welcome .recommended to anyone for a stay or a night out .

Great place Paul amazing behind bar and John looks after the beer you wont get a better pint in barmouth keep doing what you doing had a great night thanks to hospitality off staff and quality of beer thankyou ten ten

We are on holiday and called in this pub to have lunch here today and it was very good. I'm ceilac so struggle to find a place that caters for gluten free needs. I can honestly say I felt very safe and comfortable eating in here today. Staff were all knowledgeable about the condition and were very helpful. Great choice of options and lovely home cooked food. Staff were very friendly and we all enjoyed our meals. We will definitely be returning and telling others about how lovely it was 😊

We were visiting friends on our holiday and they recommended The Royal for food and a drink. The bar and setting area was busy but it is worth booking ahead if you have a larger group. The food menu had plenty of options including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Also there is a children's menu as well. The service was very good considering it was a busy evening. The food arrived in a reasonable time and it was definitely worth the wait. The portion sizes were good and you were not left wanting more. A busy atmosphere but it was enjoyable and relaxing. There are even games and puzzles to entertain yourself or the children whilst you are waiting for food. We would definitely visit here again.

Nice friendly staff but does get busy when it's football. Beer garden around the back.

Wonderful hotel in a beautiful location. Top class rooms and a great service

Nice pub and the beer prices are reasonable never stopped there but had food and drinks

Always enjoy coming in the royal for drinks and to have a catch up with the locals ans staff one of my fave pubs here in barmouth keep up the great work all of you u do amazing! ❤❤❤

The Greek salad is no way a Greek Salad

Lovely clean place,staff amazing,food to die for, just amazing

Had a lovely meal here last week whilst I was in Barmouth. I would highly recommend it and it's great value for money too.

Descent food and drinks at very reasonable prices in a large, no-frills pub. Food stops being served at 19:30. Not a fan of the huge screens showing music videos permanently. Very dog friendly.

Had a pint keep out of the sun for a while nice and welcoming to all and your 4 legged friend 🧡

Great pub with character, good atmosphere, great for families and dog owners, only let down by warm flat beer, and on occasion, poor service at the bar at times, bar staff to busy talking amongst themselves or messing about on their phones, and the young girl clearing the tables, has a face like thunder, she obviously doesn't want to be there, so why is she 🤷

A nice pub with good drinks at a decent price. Lovely little bear garden and Interesting artwork inside. Great service and dog friendly :)

Had a really nice meal here while visiting Barmouth. Fish and chips is highly recommended.

The Royal was a popular choice for beer and food during our week in Barmouth. Doom Bar & Wainwright available and prices cheap too. We had one meal there and the food was excellent! Personally the thing that put me off the most about the pub was the paintings all over every wall and ceiling! A couple would be ok, or one room.. but not the whole place. The ceiling in the upstairs restaurant was particularly unsettling, not a good combination with food.

The rooms were clean and comfortable, great breakfast which you had the option of having in your room. The location is in the town centre, had a great atmosphere in the bar with live music.

Just got home from a week of fun, and what can I say. This pub is absolutely amazing! Unfortunately we didn’t stay at the hotel but we are definitely going to book for our family holiday next year. The royal was our go to throughout are stay in Barmouth, We came for food each night and tried a different meal each night which did not disappoint everything was outstanding plus free ice cream for the kids meals was a bonus. Top quality food at a great price with a great range of larger, ciders and ales on draught and to top it off we managed to bag 2 nights of happy hour well 4 hours (Tuesday and Thursday). The staff are an absolute credit to the owners who worked tirelessly to make sure everything runs smoothly just a little shout out to the staff that stood out for us as a family, the waiting on girls were brilliant and so assertive. We were also blessed in meeting the lovely little Chloe. Such a smiley little character behind the bar and was brilliant with the kids even didn’t mind clearing up after our messy bunch. We honestly can’t wait to return next year

Great unpretentious 'local ' pub.Good staff that don't mind taking the time to serve Carling the way I like it.No 'Lets rip off the tourist'prices,unlike many pubs in town.Happy hour is even better. Clean toilets. I used to walk past 3 pubs to drink here.I now live closer.👍

Lovely comfortable rooms in a great (very busy) pub, but was very noisy until about 2am. Then again with dustman and traffic at 7am on Sunday morning.

Only had our evening meal here my cheese platter was beautiful but our other meal of nachos was poor very small amount of chilli and it was a very dry meal

Had dinner here which was lovely. Staff were friendly and helpful

We were wanting to stay close by family …and this great hotel is so central that everything was perfect …the staff became like family and attended to our every need in a caring way 🥰👌…quirky shopping and unique gifts were lovely to take home from local shops 💓…every shop keeper went above and beyond to make us welcome …what an added bonus when a lot of the world is struggling to find peace and all we saw was encouraging smiles 😊🌍👌…Thank you ✨…The Royal has an atmosphere that makes you feel at home 💐…we will be back again soon 💐x

Watched the England & Spain game here with the family whilst on holiday for a weeks camping. Great service, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere!

Lovely pub, lots of atmosphere and great staff.

Came here most nights for drinks and a few nights for food, always busy because it’s so good. Food always great and staff friendly too.

Just spent a night there. Loved it, Location is ideal. Lovely friendly staff, we were made very welcome. Great breakfast, booked again for September. Would recommend

We had a meal here whilst on holiday at a near by park OMG it was AMAZING. I had the home made lasagna totally the best I have ever had it was beautiful with chips and a lovely dressed salad and side of garlic bed. The over half has a burger and the patty was huge and so well cooked he was a man in heaven. The decor or quirky and fun and the staff are lovely and friendly. This was the highlight of our holiday thank you so much The Royal is totally recommended

Great location, rooms beautifully decorated to a high spec. Breakfast n food was lovely, we had a Sunday Roast and the plates were loaded. We've booked to come again, would highly recommend.

Great Food, pub grub , very tasty and you got loads , we ate there few times, all meals were cheaper than alot of pubs. The steak and ale pie 🥧🤤 delicious. Large pub loads of seating, and very friendly staff .🍺🍹

England won against the netherlands

Suitable for nut allergy. Stayed here a night - not only did they check all of the food in the breakfast and evening menus, they took peanuts off sale behind the bar during my stay! Really went over and above.

Great stay ... great friendly staff that you could have a good laugh with ... Great prices and food. Loves it

Excellent location and cheap parking. Nice and clean and lovely bathroom. Breakfast very tasty. Pub nice and lively

OK pub Staff friendly Good drinks Nice seating area outside

Stayed here one night one night while cycling through wales. The Royal was very friendly and accommodating. The food and environment was excellent. Watched Bellingham score in the final minute to take the game to overtime! Would recommend this inn to anyone!

Charged me £7.60 for a pint of lager dash disgusting

Great food and great staff. Had a lovely time

Had a great time Saturday night, Amy and mum🤣 behind the bar are great very welcomeing , thanks girls👍

Just returned home from another Fabulous stay at The Royal. The staff running the Bar are Great and the Staff who do Breakfast are all very Friendly and cannot do enough for you. The cleaner (I think)was so lovely to.Had a great meal. Thankyou to the chef who made our Meal last night after we we're told that the Kitchen had closed. Thankyou again so much for accommodating us both.Its the Perfect place to stay and base for Barmouth. Back again next year. Fantastic room. No.7. Regards Mr and Mrs McIntyre.

Second visit to The Royal & really enjoyed both times, great pub & very busy. The rooms are really well decorated with antique furniture with a modern twist, comfy double bed, great shower. We had an even meal there, roast chicken dinner, plenty of it & breakfast was tasty too with a full English (choose what you want) Location was good to, just by the station.

Very nice pub lots of character friendly place met some nice people to chat to. Well worth a visit. Big snooker table big tv.

rooms are decorated nicely and neat the overall room was amazing the only thing i would say is the cleanliness of the bar as there was ants on my table and flies are everywhere. I overheard some staff talking about how the floor is supposed to be mopped every sunday ONCE A WEEK which is appauling but to make this even worse he said that it doesn’t get done every week!! i would recommend to not eat the breakfast as it is not the best and it sits on a side for hours rather than it being fresh

Excellent service and great staff

Love this place, friendly staff and all the locals are happy to sit and chat. Nice and clean and good prices

Camped near by, came to the pub on recommendation as we were looking for a pub with football on, the drinks were great the food was amazing and they came and asked us which game we wanted absolute 10/10 👍🏻

Great pub good collection of real ale friendly stagg

A wonderful overnight stay. I have just booked 3 further stays in June, July and September.

What an absolute gem of a place,we are regularly in Barmouth as a family we love the place and this is the first time we have stayed at the royal and will not be our last,we came for our daughter's 7th birthday and on arrival in our room were birthday balloons some sweets and treats and some toys for her for the beach,and on her birthday morning they brought a cake out for her, honestly this weekend has been so memorable,the staff are amazing the food is fantastic as are the rooms,5 stars isn't enough,thank you so much to all at the royal 👍😘

Love this place food amazing Atmosphere really friendly

I was not stopping there but me and Khloe my staffordshire bull terrier made it our local for the week while we was there on holiday can't thank the staff and customers enough they went out of there way to make us feel so welcome complete with some shelves with dog bowls water dispenser and blankets

Nice sleeping and nice Pub. Perfekt breakfast, the best in our journey. Absolute friendly Team. Clear recommendation.

Had a drink in here on our lunch time pub Crawl, met nice people to chat to and lovely atmosphere and bar staff.

Once you have seen past the quirkiness of the pub you will find it's a very well organised pub with friendly staff that delivers excellent quality food 🍲 and drink at a very reasonable price. Now that is worth coming back for. Well worth a visit.

Great food. Staff really helpful.

Popped in for drinks several times whilst in Barmouth for the week. This is a popular pub that serves reasonably priced pub grub and we'll kept real ales. Music video on in the afternoon unless there is a big match and they put that on the screens. Outside seating too.

Great place to stay, and the staff are friendly and food is very good and freshly cooked. As we had just been on a road trip and stayed in other places the Royal Oak was the very best 👌

We had the roast dinner and it was the best roast beef I've had in ages. Soooooooo tender and yummy. The veg was really lovely too. Very good service and very helpful staff. Will definitely go again.

Fabulous time at the Royal, we stayed for a few nights. The staff were very friendly and efficient, nothing was too much trouble for them. Had our big dog with us and he was treated like a King. Room was lovely and well stocked, with a homely en suite. We will definitely be back there soon.

Great pub lovely people great food.

Staff great loved the happy hours see you in june

Good pie, busy pub. Service good Value for money good

We weren't stopping here, but not far away. It's busy place and for good reason. Decent selection of beers, purple moose brewery was my choice. The unusual decoration helps with the atmosphere and the staff I dealt with were all welcoming. Will definitely return during this visit.

Absolutely 💯 10/10 lovely staff great food great rooms dog friendly great location cheap beers wine etc brilliant atmosphere the staff go above and beyond for you and great entertainment will definitely be going back there soon 😁

Very nice pub and restaurant with lots of space, unique and delightful decoration and great facilities. Function room downstairs with a proper bar and a Disco on some evenings. Very popular, and it's easy to see why.

Had three days in beautiful Abermaw (Barmouth) two of which ended up in The Royal. Its full of interest. Staff a very friendly and accommodating. Locals were also friendly, good fun. Drinks and food were very reasonable, in fact brilliant during happy hour. Just booked for another stay in Abermaw for late Spring Bank Holiday weekend. See you then.👍

Felt right at home! Was looking for something to eat on sunday, you will not be disappointed.

What a find! For a very reasonable price, we were really impressed by the facilities. Huge room, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The bathroom had a huge shower and we loved the tiling. The room had nice toiletries, teas and coffees and other nice extras like a fridge and a tray for wet shoes or boots. The room was also very clean, dog friendly, but you would never know a dog had been in the room. We bought a dog and found the whole place very Dog friendly. Our room was above the bar, it was a Tuesday night so perhaps not very busy, but we weren't disturbed at all by noise. Breakfast was well cooked and tasty and we ate in the pub for an evening meal - again good pub food, for a reasonable price. All the staff we met were very friendly and accommodating. Finally, we loved Barmouth. A lovely beach, cute shops and fantastic views over the mountains. The hotel is located close to all the amenities and despite not having a car park, the car park we were advised to use was just a short walk away. Overall, a fantastic stay and we wish we'd had longer.

Stayed here for three nights and could not fault it.The room was clean and well decorated and had plenty of tea and coffee plus biscuits. We also had a dog with us and they supplied dog bowls plus dog biscuits and towels to dry him off.The breakfast was plentiful and really tasty and the man who served us was really good and attentive. We will definitely be back.

This place is surely due an award! It is excellent and you won’t leave disappointed! We booked for an overnight stay- a cheeky getaway with the doggo! Love Barmouth anyway but never stopped overnight in a hotel! We booked the royal as it was dog friendly! We read up before booking and we were aware that the rooms were above a very popular pub! On arrival we had to book in via the bar, it was busy, I was immediately drawn to the dog station just off from the bar, it had bowls and a water fountain and jar of treats for your dog! The girl checked us in very promptly and led us to our room! Wow we were so impressed, it completely exceeded our expectations! The room was immaculate, beautifully decorated and the attention to detail was especially impressive! Tucked away we found an iron, ironing board, fridge! Beautiful double shower, ample towel’s and toiletries and even a dog towel throws, dog bowls and treats! We also had a very generous array of tea, coffee hot chocolate and biscuit's! There is a private door to the side that you can use to enter and exit to avoid walking through the pub! There is absolutely nothing to disappoint! The breakfast is also to die for, we choose breakfast in bed! Such a treat! There was some noise from the live singer downstairs but this was minimal and did not go on late, we weren’t bothered at all and did not impact our enjoyment! This is truly a hidden gem , just fantastic! We would highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Thanks guys

I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for your hotel's exceptional hospitality and service during my recent stay. The attention to detail and commitment to customer satisfaction truly made our experience more than memorable. From the moment we arrived, the staff at the royal ensured a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The extremely comfortable accommodation and impeccable housekeeping services exceeded my expectations. I was particularly impressed with how smoothly everything was organized with my wife’s(gwen) 50th birthday and the surprise transfer to room 8 ,and the friendly demeaner of all your team members in particular Paul. Once again, we thank you for providing us with such a delightful stay. I will recommend your hotel to friends and colleagues, and I look forward to the opportunity of returning in the future.

Stayed here this weekend with my partner and dog what can I say I was absolutely blown away. The staff were so helpful nothing was too much for them. We stayed in room 8 the room was absolutely beautiful with a four poster bed. The shower was amazing you had excellent quality tea coffee sugar and hot chocolate and even slippers left for you. The food was amazing restaurant quality the pie was one of the nicest I’ve eaten and so were the burgers. They even let you eat your meals in your room. The breakfast was also amazing this place is faultless I’ve stayed a few places in Barmouth but now I would only want to stay here and will definitely be back. Will definitely be back thank you to all at the royal

Lovely friendly atmosphere, great beer and fab food. Staff were very accommodating, and our two dogs were spoilt rotton. Thank you

Stayed here with my partner in room 2 which is 1st floor. Spotless all over, comfy bed, great shower ( walk with me Tim would fit 4 people comfortably in there) Complementary tea coffee, milk, sugar, hot chocolate,water and soaps. Beautiful,white, fluffy towels provided. Iron, board hairdryer, safe, mini fridge and plenty of storage. The furniture is strong and stylish. Plenty of space. The staff are a range of ages that all work hard and are extremely friendly and welcoming. It seems well organised and the breakfast was 10/10. I'll definitely be going back but I'll stay on 2nd floor as the music and chatting from bar kept me awake a little as open till 1am on a Friday. This may not bother others. Also the drinks are good prices. We had bottle of merlot for 12 50! Over all an enjoyable stay Thankyou to all the staff for their hard work and welcoming manners :) ♥

Had a lovely time, the rooms are lovely and clean and the staff were very friendly. Prices were really good, we will definitely stay again.

what a nice place for a B&B great pub too nice breakfast great staff great atmosphere the rooms where very nice too. would stay there again.

Offers gluten free an does not offer this, said would not put a fryer on to offer this for customer.

Nice old fashioned pub with really interesting decor especially the painted ceilings, well worth a visit

We booked a few nights before our stay and they went above and beyond for us, we booked the supereme room and was blown away how lovley it was. I requested for rose petals and the room was done better then I could of planned. The breakfast was absolutely lovely everything you could need. Thank you again will be staying here again.

Lovely rooms, spacious and clean. Friendly atmosphere but breakfast was disappointing.

my wife and i have just returned from staying at the royal this weekend had a fantastic time the room food and staff were absolutely amazing many thanks

We had the best time here on a family trip as our son was visiting from Canada so we took them to our favourite seaside town, Barmouth and booked The Royal based only on location as we knew it was central. Anyway, they were wonderful. The rooms are great with nice bathrooms and plenty of space for us and our luggage. We went out for dinner to a local fish restaurant and went back to The Royal for drinks. It was nothing short of amazing. Rich was on form with the entertainment, and Pam was behind the bar with chat and fantastic service from start to finish. Brian was there having a chat at the bar and up and about serving breakfast in the morning with his great chat and smiling while making us laugh out loud. I cannot believe how lucky we were to have picked this place. Its relaxed atmosphere is only surpassed by the excellent staff who make it as amazing as it is, poeple who obviously love thier job as much as the locals and visitors who use it. Loved every minute of it........THANK YOU ALL!!!

Stayed here with my family while visiting from Canada. The staff, rooms and location are incredible. I’ll been telling people about this place for the rest of my life. Truly an amazing place to stay. Thank you to all the wonderful people who made our trip something to remember!

beautiful cooked food and drinks good too . I had steak and ale pie in its own pot cooked and wife cajun salmon both beautiful. Great pub .

First visit to the Royal, staff were really welcoming. The food was very good and an excellent pint of Guinness. Food was reasonably priced and would definitely visit again.
