My partner and I came here for dinner and it was such a lovely spot. From the ambience, to the history of the building and of course, the delicious food! The staff were so friendly and welcoming from the second we stepped foot through the door. The meat from the lamb shank just fell off the bone and melted in your mouth and the chocolate fondant was baked to perfection! Would highly recommend this place to anyone in the Dolgellau area!

The service from the man working this afternoon let's this place down. No customer service skills, places food down without saying anything, abrupt, no smiles. When ordering i was told the meals would be ready at different times due to one coming from upstairs with the chef and the other downstairs from the server. When asked if they could bring them out together it was not possible, perhaps this system should be looked at as customers want to eat together at the same time. When the meal came it was nice, however a piece of plastic was in there. Had cakes to takeaway and still service was poor and unfriendly again.

This place makes it worth the 16min drive from Barmouth ! I have never had a lamb shank like it … when in Wales …..Just come here ! You won’t be disappointed. Service was fantastic too . Price looks tad expensive but for the meal you receive and service it’s really not at all . Will be visiting again ! Doggy friendly too but must say it’s got to be torcher if ya senses are 2000x humans lol woof woof over n out )

Very lovely to be able to sit outside on a hot evening - you could be in Europe! The food was really good, everyone at the table was happy with their meal although we did all agree it was *slightly* on the pricy side. My steak was cooked exactly how it to be (not always guaranteed in some places) and the sauce was delicious - very savoury and moreish. Chips were crispy and salty. The service was on the slower side because they were so busy but the waitress who served us was very nice and helpful. The wine selection Was very good too. Those of us who had dessert really enjoyed. I’d definitely come back here again.

There now - fabulous service & fabulous food - steak & lame worth every penny Lovely setting too !! 5🌟

A came in as a solo traveller seeking a lovely welsh breakfast. This was delivered. Full Welsh Breakfast £10. Very generous portion size but clearly all fresh with proper locally sourced ingredients. The staff were very friendly and nice. This coupled with the clientel created a really wonderful homely vibe. This place is clearly more than a cafe. Its a meeting place for the people of Dolgellau. And it was lovely to be a part of that for a morning. Cant wait to come back one day

Excellent wine menu and all local gins and beers clearly marked, as well as vegan options which were not extensive but were very good and clearly prepared with care. The lamb shank was a particular hit. Side salad was very small but the lettuce and tomato were very tasty. Very friendly, welcoming and efficient service. Dog friendly and a warm vibe for all.

Lovely selection of food, staff very welcoming, and downstairs area had a lovely atmosphere. We all enjoyed our choice of meal. We're impressed with how dog friendly it was too- a big plus when on a family holiday with our dog.
