The food is great nine times out of ten and this is a rare thing in a pub. The service (by very polite and friendly locals) is always spot on. You would have to be fairly desperate for a drink to complain about the speed of service anywhere in Aberdaron. Lets face it, it's hardly the great metropolis! However it... More

The hotel is situated in the middle of Aberdaron but unfortunately you don't get a sea view from any of the rooms because Gwesty Ty Newydd has the prime spot on the beach. The bar is fairly small and is favoured by the locals; I frequently found that the local lads also got served much quicker than my family &... More

We stayed here in a family room for two nights. We had a room with great views of the sea and St Hywyn's Church. The room was clean, warm and comfortable (and nice biscuits!). We ate in the restaurant on our first night - it was very busy as it was Bank Holiday but it was very good. We experienced... More

Really nice hotel set in a lovely location next to the sea. Clean and tidy room with great sea view. Breakfast and meals in general really good. Only problem is the parking... but there is a (pay for) car park nearby. We would stay there again (the Hotel I mean...)

I didn't stay at the hotel as I live just outside the village anyway. This review is about the food only. Went there with some friends for an evening meal and all was very good. Service by the lone waitress (helped by owner Alun when busy) was understated and very pleasant. Ate dishes mainly from the specials board and would... More

Had the most awesome night here, The meal was by far the best meal I have had in a very long time. Very different, very well cooked and present with polite staff. Then we danced the night away with friends whilst the singer dominc holmes sang and played guitar /s brilliant night all around.

From the moment we arrived, to the minute we left, we had excellent service from Alun and his staff. Meals were fantastic, room excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. There was even a parking space coned off for us on our arrival. We would definitely recommend, this hotel.

Alun and his team at the Ship always make you feel welcome. Having known him for some years, he never lets you or your guests down. The team are helpful, polite and efficient - you can't ask for more than that. The food choice is excellent and varied, with all the lads saying how much they enjoyed it. The quality... More

We were welcomed by a very pleasant lady serving behind the bar, I had a perfectly kept pint of Welsh IPA which didn't touch the sides as I had just driven five hours! There was a nice atmosphere helped by half a dozen friendly locals standing at the bar. We went through to the restaurant and were asked if we... More
