The Royal in Gwynedd

Visited here on a short weekend away and stayed for the afternoon. Great service and atmosphere. We were a family of 5 adults and 2 kids and there were plenty of board games, connect 4 and crayons/pencils to keep the young un's occupied. Live music and food served here too.

Best pub in Barmouth.. staff welcoming and friendly, food is delicious and the portions are huge and they are dog friendly, what's not to like..

Excellent dog friendly accomodation for a break by the sea. The staff were more than welcoming & helpful. Delicious breakfast & cooked as you requested. The pub has great atmosphere & serves really good food. We will definitely be coming back here again.

We have just had the best meal ever. I had the absolutley amasing roast beef. So much beautifully cooked meat, four helpings of freshly cooked veg and home made yorkshire pudding, plus lots of gravy. All hot and served promtly. Absolutly delicious! My husband, who is coeliac, had the Gluten Free cheese burger with chips, colslaw, onion rings and salad. Again, a beautiful delicious meal. Top marks to the chef and kitchen staff. The bar staff and waitresses were very kind and friendly too. A real English pub and everything about it was fantastic, including the prices! Many thanks indeed for making our visit special.

Can not fault this place. The staff, the atmosphere, the drinks, the food and the prices. Best food we'd had a in a long time. Portions huge but it was so good we didn't want to stop eating! We got the meat sweets from the burgers which were bloomin amazing. One of the top places to go in Barmouth and cannot wait for our next trip. 5 star!

Fantastic staff, really friendly locals (who gave our dog treats) and the best Sunday lunch i've ever had in a pub! Shame we live 120 miles away! 😊

Superb pub, fantastic staff, really friendly locals (who gave our dog treats) and the best Sunday lunch i've ever had in a pub! Shame we live 120 miles away! 😊

Delightful establishment! Service, food, location and value for money all excellent. Resident artist, his artwork and decor so interesting and homely touches made our stay memorable.

Great place to stay, friendly, welcoming staff on arrival. Rooms lovely, clean and well equipped. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening entertainment and a tasty home cooked breakfast the next morning. The staff had even left a birthday card, balloon and bottle of wine in my room for my birthday, what a lovely touch!

Stayed at Restaurant..good food and beer for a pub. Lively atmosphere,thank yo!

I had a Dinner in this place and I must say it was good. I took a classic Beef Pie with some chips and two Pints of beer. Food and beer was just great.

We were made so welcome here, we had a gorgeous en suite bedroom which was dog friendly and the staff went out of their ways to cater for us as vegans. Our little whippet was allowed in the bar and the restaurant. Everyone was so friendly and we will definitively be staying there again when we are next in the area.

Can't recommend this pub highly enough, we popped in yesterday afternoon (2nd November) for some food after a lovely walk on the beach. The staff explained that the kitchen was closed for an hour for a break so we waited. The bar maid could not be more helpful to fit 7 of us and a dog, now for the food, it was amazing the best fish and chips I've had for a very long time. Once again highly recommend will visit again even though you're 2 1/2 hours away.

Can't comment of the rooms as we never stayed but can comment on the food and service... Great little pub well not so little..amazing friendly staff couldn't be more helpful. Supper dog friendly amazing friendly atmosphere and the selection of drinks and price shocked me for where it is.. 2 pints for £9 at normal times and happy (4) hours 4 till 8 on a Sunday Tuesday and Thursday was amazing same round £6.50 for two.... Cudnt recommended enough.

Have been to this pub several times over the years. The staff are always cheerful and friendly. Prices for both food and drink are excellent and the quality and portion size of the food us just wonderful. They put on live entertainment most weeks and also show live sporting events. Would highly recommend.

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

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

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

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.

Lovely drinks, great views and dog friendly! Fabulous!

Had a lovely meal here as a treat 😋 😍 🥰

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

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 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.

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 😊

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

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

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! ❤❤❤

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.

The Greek salad is no way a Greek Salad

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.

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.👍

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 .🍺🍹

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.

England won against the netherlands

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

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

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
