    I wasn’t feeling well so I declined the cooked breakfast which I had ordered. I did say I would like some fruit but I wasn’t offered any and I assumed this was because I had originally opted for the cooked breakfast so I didn’t pursue it.

    It was quaint and quirky. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the hosts and dogs were lovely and welcoming

A small cosy 7 bedroom Restaurant with Rooms with Harlech Castle and the small village towering above, and the beach a short walk away. We only cater for a small number of well spaced tables each night so advance booking is essential. Check-in is between 4 and 6pm so you have time to relax in our Gin Bar with a selection of over 250 premium drinks before an early dinner. This is the chilled, quiet place in the area serving quality home made food and is dog focussed and gin obsessed! The area is a walkers paradise, but is not for those who seek a night life!
Kai and Storm (The resident Huskies) are pleased to welcome you to this lovely chilled corner of Snowdonia. We love our 4 legged guests and the kind humans who bring them to visit, indeed any dog lovers even if you don't have a 4 legged friend joining you. You and your humans are very welcome in the Restaurant @ Y Branwen, Gin Bar and all the rooms and you will love the beach and all the local walks as much as we do. Kai & Storm (with a little help from the Team)
The 5 mile sandy beach is stunning with half of it dog friendly all year - indeed the whole area is very dog friendly. The castle is one of the best in the area, and we are not far from Snowdonia, although it is worth exploring all the other mountains in the area which are much quieter and just as beautiful.
