Ysgethin Inn in Gwynedd

Found this little gem of a pub whilst staying in a caravan near by! The staff were so friendly and helpful! Made to feel very welcome. The food was amazing and tasted excellent! The pub is located on the river as it was still a nice evening we sat outside for a few drinks. The play area is an extra bonus for families. My two year old enjoyed this

Went to carvery yesterday and sorry to say it was not good. The food was not hot and a megre amount of meat 2 very small slices. Plenty of veg but it was tastless. No one asked if food okay. Not worth the money.

Lovely food Gluten free options Cost 56 for 2 meals 2 wines and 2 pints Nice atmosphere Seating outside too. Staff very friendly

Oh dear! Been here loads of time in past years, what has happened? Very poor value very small meals tiny oblong plates that can’t hold anything. Not really very good experience

Had a lovely two course meal here , was fresh , didnt have to wait long and enjoyed every bit of it , prices reasonable too , drinks not too expensive either

We revisited Talybont for the first time in sixteen years and decided to sample the local food with a visit to the Ysgethin Inn. On entering the pub we were greeted by bar staff who were both helpful and friendly and our drinks very reasonably priced drinks were served quickly with a certain amount of humour. We asked for menu's, ordered our food and in a short time they arrived, the portions were plentiful to say the least, piping hot, delicious and served by waitresses that were both courteous and very obliging. All in all a very pleasant experience and will definately be returning.

Been here loads of times for a drink, but never food. But due to my chaps Birthday we decided to try it. OMG I must say the food was lovely, decent portions, decent prices and above all food was fresh, hot & quickly served. Order was Burger, Lasagna & there Steak Pie, which were all priced around £14 - £15 each. The only tiny critisim was the Steak Pie was on a small rectangle plate, where normally steak Pies like these in a dish, with floating pastry on top are put onto the bigger plate, so they can be tipped out and place the pastry on top (alot less messier) So overall a lovely meal & will be returning shortly on our next holiday.

Beautiful setting, food was lovely couldn't fault at all, but the staff are absolutely awful! No smiles from any of the staff at all, the guy huffed and puffed when I asked to order food. 2 trainees on bar that had no idea how to pour a pint or what any alcohol even was. I work in a family pub and if we have any trainees on bar its always made sure they are trained during the week days and not on a weekend when it's busy! Women's toilets were practically under water and the baby changing table is right in the way of the door and so high I could barely reach to actually change my babies nappy! So disappointed as I have been coming here for over 30 years for food anytime we have been on holiday. Such a shame the staff clearly hate their jobs as not one of them put a smile on their face.

Visited here last night after my partner calling in previous evening and liking the pub. We had a meal which was lovely. Staff very polite and quick service. Outdoor play area really great and garden so lovely. Great place to sit and relax. River right next to pub running past all tables. Would definitely recommend.

We went Sunday 9th of June we popped in for a drink and ended up having a Carvery it was lovely the meat just melted . The staff were really nice very pleasant polite and very welcoming. The Garden is beautiful nice play area and lovely by the river Will definitely visit again .

Lovely beer not keen on the food Great location and plenty of outside seating, a river running behind the building Dog friendly in part of the pub

Why does a pub have the signs lit up with an arrow implying they're open. The website confirms it!!! Then you walk a mile to find it shut. They can't be bothered to update their website. We can't be bothered to go again( enjoyed in the past) Lazy!!!! Unprofessional

Dog friendly section, friendly staff and a good tasty meal, can’t ask for much more. Between us we had scampi followed by cheesecake and steak followed by chocolate fudge cake, delicious!

The food here was amazing, I go as far to say it was the best steak I have tasted in a long time. There was 7 of us who ate and every dish was spot on would definitely recommend. I had the salted caramel cheesecake too which was to die for. Thanks for making our experience so pleasant 😊 we will be back again next year.

Great dog friendly pub, never disappoints. Service was very fast and gammon to die for. Bar staff remembered my previous drink that I found amazing. Will definitely return to this little gem.

When we are in the area we always like to go to the Ysgethin for drinks and a meal as it’s always the same great food. It’s a lovely old pub that has maintained its character. The drinks are reasonably priced with excellent choice. We had chicken curry, lasagne and steak pie and all were great, very well cooked and fresh. A lovely informal evening. And our dog was able to come in with us and sit at the one end of the restaurant. Thank you Ysgethin.

Fantastic place . Always make you welcome. Food good . Atmosphere brilliant . Inside and out . Summer or winter

Only pizzas were been served when we visited, nothing else. We had to wait over 45 mins for our 2 pizzas, with other people who came in after us getting there’s before us. The staff couldn’t smile if they tried, not very friendly at all. Lots of mix up with wrong pizzas been given out. When ours finally arrived wasn’t worth the wait, the pizza base was hardly cooked. Very disappointing.

5* and then some. Dog friendly inside and out. Beautifully set up establishment inside and out for all walks of life, couples, friends and families. We hunt booked, went out late, had lots of different family members who had to be catered for. We got everyone happy. Food superb. I can't praise this place and staff enough

Lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting. We had some great food and the service was fast. The staff were very friendly. Best of all they are dog friendly. There was a lovely walk up behind the pub through the woods and along the riverI

We came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The outside area with the stream is lovely and the park for the children is new and well maintained. Unfortunately for us it was raining so we grabbed a table inside. The inside of the pub is old but adds to its character. Our food was good pub food and everyone enjoyed their meals. The staff were also very friendly, they offered us some paper towels to dry off from the rain. They also noticed I was holding my baby so they offered a highchair as my food was coming out. They set it up for me which was amazing. Overall, good pub food, great outside area and helpful friendly staff

Wes arrived at 5.05 and food service started at 5 , the bar opening at 4 . There were 9 of us and as you can’t book just managed to get a table .You can’t reserve a table! The menu’s was typical pub grub , you have to que for food orders and drinks , staff were friendly and the food didn’t take long to come and the pub was packed! Food was great with no complaints. Would definitely recommend for a pub meal!

Stayed nearby and went for family meal. Peak holiday season and decent weather so very busy. Service was good, decent bog standard pub grub, portions were decent but nothing special. Outside facilities very good over looking river. Family friendly. Indoors needs some updating . Top marks for beer, good selection and well kept.

Absolutely gorgeous place an old, I believe a listed building. The staff are always welcoming and friendly and really hardworking. They keep their website and Facebook up to date with any events that are taking place. It's a pity that people obviously don't check before visiting, is there an event on and meal service hours, then they are disappointed and complain which is completely unacceptable. Tuesday was pizza night the pizza was delicious and when I asked for a slight change it was fully accommodated to my liking. The chips are the best in the area, not those straggly fries. Thanks to Gail Kath Reg Ness and Sammi for a brilliant night as always.

What a gorgeous hidden gem! Decided to try the pizza here whilst staying in the area for a few days . The outside was just amazing! Especially enjoyed sitting by the river, which flows alongside the back garden. Inside has a real charm to it, no unnecessary bits of modern furniture added, just a good old fashioned pub feel. The pizza was delicious! Arrived to our table quickly and was still hot from the oven . The staff were lovely and friendly, very welcoming , dog friendly pub! Would definently go again .

So yesterday, my family and I went to this pub and as it was pizza Tuesday there was only pizza on the menu and it was that bad the state of the pub it self was one of the least of my concerns. Firstly the...

On arrival we were immediately told to hurry up and order food as the kitchen closed at 8pm and it was only 7:30pm. We felt this wasn’t the nicest greeting. In fact through the entire visit the customer service was well below average. My teenage nephew was with us who works in hospitality and thought it was well below par. The outside of the place is nice however inside leaves a lot to be desired and hasn’t been updated in about 40 years. It was also dirty especially table which looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a few days. It was Tuesday (pizza night) 3 of us had Margherita’s with basically just a lot of cheddar cheese on which was far too much and very sickly. The cheese was that bad my other nephew had to eat the back of the pizza just so he couldn’t taste it. I had Pepperoni however struggled to find much pepperoni under the far too much cheese. The chips we ordered weren’t chips at all they were more like long crisp sticks. It was quite cold inside and none of us took our jackets off due to this. All in all we won’t return as the food was terrible and the service no better

Took the family for a lunch. The food was good & reasonably priced and the staff were friendly. The lunch menu is different from the evening one. We’re coming here again for an evening meal soon. There’s plenty of parking and they have a lovely...

Visited here recently for drinks whilst on holiday in Barmouth . Sat outside pub set in nice gardens there’s stream running at side of pub which you can hear when say outside. Nice quaint little pub was conveniently situated where we were staying on Barmouth...

Spent several days in the Barmouth area and called in for dinner one evening. Took an age to order beer and food at the bar due to very slow service. Time was running out so ordered food at the bar. Sat outside next to the...

Absolutely a great little pub with amazing food and really nice staff. Highly recommend!! Sirloin steak was beautiful!!

Wonderful old pub, beautiful location by the river, good solid pub food. What more could you want?! We will definitely come again!

Staying in Dyffryn Ardudwy we wanted a nice local restaurant for a simple single course teatime meal. The Ysgethin Inn seemed to meet our choice but we were unable to make a reservation. So we went along and found empty tables inside and out. As...

What a place 👏 Right on the river, food reasonably priced and quality excellent. Really nice place, dog friendly and plenty of outdoor seating. Recommended to anyone in the area big thumbs up 👍

Three happy and content customers. We had main course and desserts , Lovely food , friendly and attentive staff .

Here for a family meet up to celebrate a big birthday, with family coming from London and north Manchester, seven adults and a baby. We were staying in a village nearby and was recommended to eat here by our Airbnb host. The inn is easy...

The basic menu almost put us off going but there isn’t a lot of choice in Tal Y Bont. It was super busy when we arrived but we found a table inside. Loved the traditional decor with cartwheels and fairy lights. Wine list had a...

Beautiful location, rammed with visitors (queue was out the door on several occasions), strange methods of managing queue’s of people waiting to be served, understaffed. The lady who brought the food to the table was lovely. Got to have a lot of patience if you...

Lovely surroundings, friendly locals, cosy, dog friendly and food tasty. Been there several times now for drinks but first time we had eaten, will come again.

What a lovely pub. We visited this a couple of times during our 4 night stay for a drink before we headed back to the caravan. What a lovely pub. Warm, friendly service - not just from the team, but the locals too. Will definitely...

Have been to this pub several times over the years. It always had average pub grub at above average prices. So, when we arrived this evening, we were not expecting anything different, although ownership of the pub had changed. How wrong could i be!!! Because...

We were staying locally and popped into the Ysgethin Inn on 2 occasions. Both times the pub was very busy and each time we got the last available table indoors. Food was tasty and particularly liked the steak and Guinness pie and the home made...

just stopped for a drink so didn't eat.The outside area and back garden are beautiful,with the river running down the side.Inside lets it down,bit uncared for with a miserable woman behind the bar.

Popped in for an evening meal last night. No starters available 'due to staff issue's. Main meal was served quickly and looked and tasted great, however the portion size was poor.

Have visited serveral times , when on holiday . Never disappoints . Didn’t fancy a big meal so ordered a few starts between us , was plentiful , quick service concidering how busy it was .

Called in for Sunday Roast as we saw a picture on the website. Unfortunately due to staff shortages they only do sandwiches, chips and snacks on a Sunday so we just had a drink and left. Lovely pub right by the river, we have called...

Visited the Ysgethin on a Saturday night. Arrived late after a long cycle and the kitchen had closed, however the wonderful staff offered to cook me some food when they noticed my disappointment! Was expecting and would have been grateful for the bare minimum, but...

Wow. We visited twice in our 4 night stay. The food is amazing. Home cooked and just sooo good. I had the steak both times and my partner tried both burgers. Kids food also great. Didn’t wait long for the food and it was honestly...

I visited twice in a week in high season. The team are very organised and we had good service and good turnaround for food. The steak and guineas pie was brilliant, nice big chunks of beef in gravey - had it on both visits! Lovely...

After being turned away by a very prentious 1957 who said they were fully booked bur we're empty at the time. We ventured to this lovely pub. My wife is an excellent cook and its not often she highly recommends food but tonight she did....

Just got back from having a fantastic lunch. Lovely atmosphere and so very very welcoming. Very reasonable prices too. Loved it so much was plan to go every day for dinner while we are on holiday here. (Apart from Tuesdays when food is not served).

A really nice place for drinks by the river. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Dog friendly and good play area for children.

We went for an evening meal on the first day of our holiday, and it was so nice that we went back later in the week. They don’t take bookings but that was not a problem on either occasion, we sat outside but there were...

Got to the bar After cueing for 15 minutes to order food , without any explanation the elderly lady serving just walked off and didn’t return. We asked the bar tender who was only serving drinks, if she was going to return , his reply...

This pub is in a good spot, a lovely location by the river and was very busy when we visited. We are as a family, and the food was but we felt it was very expensive for what it was e.g over £12 each for...

Visited for something to eat whilst staying in Barmouth. Fantastic outdoor space, front and back, and lovely sitting by the water at the rear of the pub. Had my dog with me and was able to eat in a designated area of the pub. Did...

From start finish the whole experience was faultless. Super friendly and helpful staff. Wide selection on the menu and all more than reasonably priced. We both opted for gammon and the quality and portion size was amazing. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back!

Didn’t end up staying as dogs are only allowed in really small area of the restaurant and there were no suitable tables for the size of the family. Such a shame as it’s advertised as a dog friendly pub.

Very good food and good quantity. Atmosphere was ok background music stopped halfway thru meal which made it extremely quiet.

I've now been to Ysgethin many times whilst staying in the area, on a drinks basis and also for meals. Its such a nice old pub, with a good atmosphere and they have an area where you can dine/drink and take your dogs in with...

Visited for lunch today. We enjoyed good ales and beautiful lamb shanks. Very attentive service and good value for such a lovely meal. Lovely setting next to the ysgethin river. Will return when visiting area, which is at least four times per year. Well worth...

The food in the Ysgethin is fantastic. Huge portions for reasonable prices. The steak is to die for and the steak and ale pie is mouth watering. Best pub for miles in North Wales.

We were recommended to visit this pub for a meal. There was a notice requesting everyone to wear a mask at the bar. My husband approached the bar and noticed a couple of people not wearing masks. One of the bar maids asked him if...

This pub is set in a lovely location. It has a river running alongside it which is very relaxing and there is a lovely outside area with a play area for children. This buys some valuable peace and quite for 10 minutes to enjoy a...

We waited around 20 minutes to be asked for our drinks order, staff weren’t busy, they were just stood behind bar talking. When they finally took our order the service was slow. The food took around 40 minutes to come to us (food is was...

Nice pub that has a babbling brook running at the rear , has outside seating there and children's slide etc to keep them busy .Not eaten in side as you need to book at the time of visit . 3 very good cask ales on...

Found the set up quite confusing, waited 45 minutes in a queue to order. Once we did order the food came quite quick and was lovely but we weren’t able to order deserts due to the wait time and the kitchen closing.

For obvious reasons hadn't been here for a couple of years and seeing how they dealt with all the restrictions was great. Food was excellent as usual ( Salted caramel cheesecake to die for), staff all friendly and courteous even with all the difficult circumstances...

We called in without a reservation but were found a table immediately by very accommodating staff. The place was busy for mid-week and staff were rushed off their feet. Food service was quick - we had burgers - and very good. PLenty of food and...

Had a great meal tonight with a great host in Dave . It is my favourite inn to visit when at our caravan in Talybont keep it up and we will keep coming for more

Absolutely loved our visit. Whitebait starter and sirloin. Couldn’t fault anything. We will come back. And the chips were amazing.

We’d never been here before, but will definitely come here again. My husband had gammon eggs and chips, I had vegetarian lasagna for a change from the beef lasagna. The food was delicious and the chips were really moreish, we didn’t have to wait long...

Much improved ideal for family meals and children play area very good. Went lunch time but plan to revisit for evening meal
