Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Meifod House, with its classic decor and furnishings, often reminds guests of a welcoming country house. Many appreciate the spacious car park and convenient location near Caernarfon and Snowdonia.

cozy library snooker table relaxation area immediate welcome

i felt immediately welcomed. the hotel features a cozy library. there is also a snooker table ready for a game. a large, comfortable relaxation area provides ample space to unwind after exploring the area.

the weeds outside could use a little attention but honestly it's a very very minor thing.

ample parking large bathroom canopy bed spiral staircase declined care large suitcases

The building is nice, there is ample parking. The room is HUGE and the bathroom was several steps down into a large room with a tub. There is a large armoire and a bureau, a canopy bed and several chairs. All the furniture is oversized!

I was not aware that our rooms were 'in back of house' and up a narrow spiral staircase. That was not in the description. We could not have carried our large suitcases up those stairs. The hotel looks like it is in a state of steady declined care.
