The Fanny Talbot

We are staying in the Barmouth area for two weeks and we have dined here three times. The menu is outstanding and the food is beyond delicious. I have rarely had better food anywhere than I have here. Fine dining at its best and not overly expensive either and the food is worth every penny. The staff are also very friendly and also knowledgeable about the menu. There is also an excellent wine menu. Also a welcoming bar and outside area if you just want to have a drink. I can't recommend highly enough!

We had an issue with our booking which the lovely Sally sorted wonderfully and was here to greet us when we arrived. What an asset she is, lovely customer service. Our room (number one on ground floor) was beautiful, pristine & so comfy. Beautiful huge shower, fleecy towels, just lush. Lovely crisp linen on the comfy big bed, little kitchenette with all you need if you want to fix yourself food, but my advice is, don’t. Eat & the hotel and you won’t regret it

Came here for a special honeymoon meal and it did not disappoint. I was hoping to have the tasting menu but my new wife was so impressed by the a la carte that we went for that instead. Really friendly staff and whilst it's fine dining, it's not pretentious. Great wine selection at a remarkably reasonable price for the quality of food, making it more accessible. Particular shout out to Savannah, who was knowledgeable about the suppliers and provided excellent service. Recommend the belly pork and triple cooked chips!

Fine dining at its best. The food is beautiful highly recommend the sirloin and cheese cake. What really enhanced the experience was the passion and excellent customer service from the staff. All of them were so lovely. A special mention of Svanah. She was so friendly, and attentive. Thank you all for a wonderful anniversary celebration. We loved the treats at the end and the card was just fab. X

We had a great experience at The Fanny Talbot. From the moment we stepped through the door, every member of staff made us feel welcome. There’s a warmth and friendliness to the team that makes the whole visit memorable—but a special mention must go to Savannah, attentiveness, infectious smile elevated the entire evening. The food was exceptional. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, but it was the depth of flavour in the sauces that truly stood out—rich, balanced, and utterly delicious. It’s clear the kitchen team takes real pride in their craft. We left already thinking about our next visit. Thank you to everyone who made it such a special evening—we hope to return one day soon!

Most welcoming. Greeted by cheerful friendly staff. Was offered restaurant or patio menu. We chose restaurant. Cosy with lovely decor and furnishings. The service was first class. So professional and genuine. We chose the two course lunch mackerel and duck pate starters followed by the roast lamb. Absolutely amazing. Melted in your mouth!. The side dishes of triple cooked chips and carrots were delicious. Everything was piping hot. Full marks to your chef. Staff were so friendly and attentive. Special thanks to Savanna who is a credit to your restaurant.

Great food and service! And very nice ambience too. A terrace set back from the road for drinks. We didn't stay just had the tasting menu and shared the wine flight. The food reflected it's being noticed by the Michelin people, and they now have (quite right) a third AA food rosette. They need to update the website to reflect these accolades!

Location was great as was the welcome. Room clean as was kitchen and bathroom area. Plenty of tea and coffee available. Nice size fridge and enough crockery and cutlery for 2 people. Parking available for guests. All you do is pull up at the barrier, call the pub and they lift the barrier to let you in. Great system. Cannot fault the place - we will be back! Didn't eat at the restaurant so can't comment on food.||Air Conditioning was a great asset during our stay with 30degree heat however, it failed on the 2nd night and dripped water onto the carpet (and possibly into the room below us). Management were swift to bring up a bucket and towels but the constant drip while the unit was being used kept us awake which meant we had to turn it off for the night. Hopefully it was fixed before the next guests arrived.
