The Tilman in Gwynedd

Lovely pub. Have been here many times whilst on holiday and always enjoy going here. Have also been here for two NYE's and its always been a lovely atmosphere.

… I’d get a room with a view, & it didn’t disappoint. Room was up a couple of flights of stairs, but it worked the breakfast off. Beautifully presented breakfast, we had the full English on day 1, day 2 I had bacon & egg on toast :-)’’ MrDW had the pancakes, which was the highlight of his day. We absolutely loved the tea, coffee bags which was a 1st for us, hot choccy, & biscuits were best of all. As if we weren’t spoilt enough, we could help ourselves to sparkling or still water, & milk for our drinks, from the fridge on the landing. The bed was comfy, & a king, yet MrDW still managed to fall out of it in the early hours & cut his face on the corner of the bedside table. Loved the bathroom & all the toiletries in there. We didn’t get around to having a drink or food, other than breakfast. So I expect that we shall have to return to do this, & I’d also love to go through that lovely breakfast menu again.

Popped in for a drink with the hubbie. Lovely, clean and welcoming bar. Looked after by the lovely Dale who was happy to chat and engage with his customers. Nothing was too much trouble 👏

Fantastic stay , friendly , efficient , super location , breakfast first class and served by the lovely Shirley such a friendly happy lady - thank you

Spotlessly clean,3rd floor was hard for me being elderly

We visited for breakfast and found that although the menu only has 9 things on it (very refreshing), there is something for everyone and all really good value. We had a full English Breakfast and a Greek yoghurt bowl. The quality of the produce was exceptional, and the portions are a perfect size if you are hungry!!! The staff couldn't be more helpful and are really pleasant. A It's a really good place to start your day in lovely clean, fresh surroundings.

My husband and I have just got back from staying at the Tillman. We were very happy with our stay our bedroom was on the 3rd floor a bit of a hike upstairs but well worth it the view from our bedroom windows was a beautiful one of the beach and scenery. The room and bathroom were beautifully furnished and clean. The breakfasts were very nice and the staff could not do enough for us especially Una. The car park was very secure and had a barrier so only hotel guests could park there. There were fridges on each landing with cans and small bottles of milk which you could help yourself to also, this establishment was definitely worth the Money.

We stayed here for one night 18th August. They have free parking, which we couldn't organise via our mobile phone (we don't use one on our travels). We had to go to the Hotel reception, and they opened the car park for us, not a problem. The Hotel does lunch but not dinner. We had fish & chips at a place a short stroll away. They did serve a cooked breakfast and also had cereals etc for a continental breakfast.

The casseroles are great, but you have to be there in the morning. the casseroles are great

Cracking pub on the Main Street through Barmouth. Good selection of beers and a small but perfectly formed menu. I had the bacon and maple pancake stack and my husband had a giant toasted baguette - both super tasty. Staff were great too, very friendly and fabulous service. We’ll be back.

Really nice bar with food on the main street in Barmouth. Highly recommended. Great service, really tasty food and friendly staff

We didn't stay here, we just had drinks. It's the sister hotel to The Fanny Talbot and for some reason the drinks are cheaper here.

Beautiful place to stay very clean and well appointed rooms.

Really great stay room was spotlessly clean the bed extremely comfortable. The wet room shower was to die for. Nice touches water and fresh milk in the room with replenishment available on floor two stairwell. We had a room on the front the double glazing very efficient and no noise from traffic or seagulls. Air conditioning was very effective and the room stayed cool and very comfortable. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic with friendly staff who could not have done more for you. Thanks to all the staff for a great stay.

We were there in july 2 nights lovely room clean and tidy hall ways and stairs all nice and fresh looking breakfast was one the best I have had and the service excellent specially the waitress shirley couldn't do enough for u also talking about the Midlands she came from like us will go back again no faults thank you

Always go for a pint in the Tilman when I'm in Barmouth. It's a nice place to be. And the coolest toilet sinks I've ever seen.

We had a few drinks here it's a decent pub.

Had a lovely 4 night stay. The room was so comfy and everything was of quality. Bedding, towels and teatray. A nice feature a fridge on the landing providing water and fresh milk. Breakfasts very good. What made the stay was the friendliness of the staff. The young man who carried my case upstairs and the lovely ladies who served breakfast. Customer service like we experienced is very rare these days. Treasure your staff. A thank you to Nadene who sorted a problem out. Once again professional, polite and friendly. If you have mobility issues I advise a room on the first floor.

What a lovely welcoming pub/hotel the Tilman is. Just had a wonderful few days at the Tilman in Barmouth. Our room (No.1) was clean, spacious, huge comfy bed, fabulous shower, even a chiller stocked with refreshments. The staff (bar and kitchen) made us feel so welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Well stocked bar, unbeatable breakfast menu too. Highly recommended the Tilman, which is perfectly located and has excellent parking facility.

Arrived Friday lunchtime and checked in just before 3pm. The room was a real eye-opener. Spotlessly clean but not antiseptic. The one real surprise was the realisation that we didn't have enough gadgets to use all the sockets available. This room was ideal for a young, athletic couple on a business trip who need to charge their phones and laptops as well as other personal items. I say athletic because Room 10 is on the top floor and there is no lift. On each landing as we climbed the stairs there is seating thoughtfully provided for those of us old and not so fit. The bathroom is very stylishly appointed and the walk-in shower cubicle is large: large enough for a humpty like me to get clean. After the usual shower, use the large overhead rose to enjoy a minute or two of warm to hot "rainfall". Bliss. Carol was not impressed to find glass bottles in the tray on the wall of the shower. Her eyesight is not good and she feared one might drop and break potentially cutting her feet to ribbons. The manager assured her the bottles were double skinned and were safe. Carol was not convinced. The breakfast is very good and is taken in the bar area. There is a brunch available later. The Tilman does not do evening meals, which is just as well given the number of bodies crammed in there. In the evening the place is so popular it is well packed and the very chatty crowd had to take it in turns to breathe, though not to speak. A cacophony of young and not so young voices fills the place. The fact that the car park is to the rear of a nearby place does not detract from the fact that this place is excellent.

Lovely bar/hotel really nice rooms, only reason i didn’t give 5 stars is that they don’t serve food in the evening

Lovely bar and great guy behind the bar. Very welcoming 👍

What a lovely little gem Barmouth is. Staying 2nights at the Tilman,great room no 12 & can see the sea!!

Looking for a place to sit out of the sun while I waited for a recovery truck to come and retrieve my car (very stressful day), I came across this place. Though I didn’t stay the night in one of the rooms, I did sit downstairs in the bar area for a couple of hours. The staff behind the bar were exceptional, very friendly, very helpful and cheerful. The bar itself was clean, nicely decorated, and there was free wifi which was a life saver for me yesterday! Thank you to the member of staff (I didn’t catch his name) who made me and my mum feel welcome and a little less stressed, you were and angel yesterday I would definitely recommend this place, and if I am ever in Barmouth again, I’ll sure be checking in for a stay

Had a drink here and sat outside in the sunshine, a nice place, clean and fresh looking, love the sinks in the toilets, very unusual and different

Stayed here from Friday to Sunday during the Easter bank holiday. Staff were really attentive, location was great, breakfast was excellent and room was very clean and equipped. The staff even posted over a coat that we'd left in the car park! Can't rate this place highly enough! Only comment to make was that our room (#7) had a slight smell of cigarette smoke. Everything else was so great that we didn't feel the need to complain but thought it worth mentioning.

Very friendly and welcoming. Room was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was delicious. Couldn't have been better.

Fantastic Hotel, Amazing, well thought out rooms. Brilliant powerful rain shower. Very spacious. Breakfast so lovely and tasty. Hosts and team lovely warm and friendly people. Would highly recommend. You won't be disappointed. Only a quick walk from train station, or if coming by car, they have a car park around the corner. Very central. Will visit again. Thank you all x

We have stayes at this place many times as the rooms are just lovely, Hotels in the centre of town and has loads of parking 100m just up the street. The staff are very friendly and the breakfast is right up there. we always look forward to a stay at this place and if i was booking Barmouth for someone else i would book them in here for sure. Lovely of an evening for a few drinks as well as nice and busy. Well done guys doing a fantastic job.

Great , dog friendly attractive pub in Barmouth. Lovely staff and a fabulous range of cocktails available alongside the usual range of pub drinks . Highly recommend.

Lovely pub with a great selection of drinks. Great lighting and comfortable seating. Came here every night of our holiday because it was so nice and would definitely recommend. Dog friendly with dog treats too.

Great , friendly staff put up with our very large greyhound taking up a chunk of floor. Wife and daughter absolutely loved the range of cocktails over the week.

Fantastic staff and drinks! Very strong cocktails so be warned! 😂 Amazing service from the gentleman at the bar. Made our birthday celebrations even better! Thank you so much

Went for a drive after feeling a bit of cabin fever after Christmas, stopped in Barmouth for some lunch. First time in here and it won’t be the last!! Great service, reasonable prices and lovely tasting food and a good selection of drinks

The Tilman is possibly our favourite place to go for drinks in Barmouth. Friendly staff, good drinks selection, dog friendly, and the brunches on a weekend are delicious.

Just had a Halloween Mexican themed brunch and it was fantastic. King prawn fajitas and a chorizo, bacon, egg & potatoes burrito were both absolutely mouthwatering. We were so impressed, we asked if they would be doing it again and were told to call beforehand next time and they would try to sort for us. Well happy and we will be coming back.👌

Don’t be discouraged that this accommodation is above a cocktail bar/ pub- there is no noise! Separate entrance meant not having to go through bar. Slept really well in a comfortable, well designed room. Everything was clean and well presented - lovely walk in shower plus bath. Air Con in the sept heatwave was a bonus ! Breakfast was very good and lots of options. Free car park, just around corner was a bonus. The Tillman is well placed both for the town and the beach.

Just returned from a four night stay, really couldn’t fault in any way. Room was well air conditioned and very clean. Modern rooms with quality furnishings. We choose the including breakfast option which was top quality and a variety of choice to suit all tastes. We will definitely stay again. Also this has its own carpark which is clean safe and very close which is free to residents. This is always a plus in Barmouth

Lovely place, nice staff. Superb quality breakfast , thick bacon, vine tomatoes. Best full English I have ever eaten. Only thing i would change is maybe offer normal tea as well as breakfast tea, and maybe an alternative coffee ,tried both and neither were for me .Will be back

Lovely hotel situated in the centre of town with adjacent reserved carparking. Rooms nice and comfortable and clean. Excellent breakfasts and a lively bar. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay again.

Amazing food amazing staff can’t fault anyone or anything definitely would come back again definitely a great place to eat or have a drink

We've stayed here 3 times and have always been happy. Our last visit there we added another night onto the one we had already booked only with 2 days notice. They said that we would have to swap rooms which with such short notice we didn't mind. However, when we checked in They said that they had a re-jig of rooms and we had the same room for 2 nights👍. The only thing we noticed was it looked like the breakfast menu had been slimmed down. Plus the service was slow. Breakfast was hardly warm .

Stayed for 3 nights. Great base for exploring the national park. Room was very large and simply but nicely decorated and furnished. Everything looked brand new. Staff friendly. Breakfast choice good and very tasty. We’d travelled from a 5* hotel in the Gower but the Tilman was nicer I would say. Highly recommended.

We're on holiday nearby and popped in most evenings along with our big greyhound. Lovely beer, daughter had different cocktails every night. If you own this place you have employed some great staff. Very welcoming.

We arrived in Barmouth and found everything closed 🤣 went in to ask for a table and he said in 30 min. So we returned 30 min later to find window table ready . Nice looking place , clean and the staff where very polite . We didn’t know what to order and staff suggested their favorites and all plates where as tasty as expected and the bill was very reasonable. Glad we stopped there 😊

Ordered 2 cocktails and they didn’t taste right so asked the barman to change them. He reacted very badly and was very rude and argued the point with us!! Luckily someone more senior in position was there and immediately told him to replace them. This...

Fantastic brunch menu - something a little bit different. Steak and eggs were absolutely delicious. Other members of our party had the hash, the chicken and waffle, and the moc muffin - everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and the service was excellent.

A fabulous base for our short stay in Barmouth. From the checking-in, which was straightforward despite the bar being busy - we were given detailed and helpful advice on what facilities were available - to the moment we (sadly) left we had a great time...

It's fine, nothing more. We only stopped in for late afternoon drinks. The sun trap terrace is useful, though the high chairs aren't suited to much relaxation. The service was a bit begrudging, but the drinks (wine in our case) pretty standard. Perhaps the food...

Visited as a family with big greyhound in tow. Lovely staff and daughter went through cocktail list over 4 days ! Really enjoyed.

Lovely little place. Room was bright and welcoming, very clean and just as described. Would definitely return if visiting the area again

Empty when we went in but soon filled up for lunch, We had cocktails which were very nice but expensive, then we had lunch which was very nice but there is a limited menu, worth a look.

Great little place. Cocktails were beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Will definitely be back!

We had a lovely night in Barmouth thanks to the Tillman. Great service, all the staff were so friendly. Everything was of a high quality from the the rooms to breakfast. Shame we don’t live near by or would be back for breaky every weekend....

Warm and welcoming environment and staff. Good choice of beers, wines, cocktails. Clean toilets. Staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommended as a place to sit comfortably, relax and drink with or without company.

Nice enough little pub with friendly staff. Called in Sunday lunchtime, very limited Brunch menu ,nothing there we fancied.

One of our favourite places to pop for a drink in Barmouth! Staff are always very friendly, great selection of drinks and it's dog friendly too.

Fabulous stay at the Tilman, staff are so friendly and very accommodating with dietary requirements, beautiful room and very clean, buzzing atmosphere at night in the bar. Highly recommend will definitely be returning.

We entered the tillsman bar because we seen the sigh saying cocktails as we walked in we could not see a list of cocktails so asked the lady stood behind the bar what cocktails do you have "menus are on the table" was the responce...

Nice place for a drink when we went midweek early evening. Some outside seating and some inside including “booths”. Friendly bar staff.
