The Gladstone

We loved everything - from our first meeting with Gavin to our last goodbye with Gavin! Beautiful building, fabulous sea view, and four poster bed. The bar was full of locals, which was a good sign to us. We'd booked for dinner and it was delicious. Pan fried sea bass with a white wine sauce. Desserts, well. Hubby had a jaffa cake sundae, I had frozen cherry Eton mess. Superb. The room had a bath and a shower, so we were both happy. Breakast was perfect. A full Welsh breakfast. Tasty sausage, fresh mushrooms and gorgeous black pudding. All of the staff were very friendly and efficient. Gavin does a great front of house job, and I believe the fabulous chef is his husband. An excellent team altogether. We'll definitely be going back.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very friendly hosts and the tasty breakfasts really made it for us! Also nice to stay somewhere that was positive about dogs (properly dog friendly-not just dog tolerant). Handy to have the bar downstairs in the evenings. Handy location with lots within easy driving distance-we were able to cover Anglesey, Snowdonia and the coast (Llandudno/conwy easily.

Very clean, all signage clear but not obtrusive, staff clearly focussed on guests needs. Locals in bar respected our space, while getting on with their lives - we think there was a pool league or similar event. Location was better than expected - yes, it's near the Expressway but we got little traffic noise and found a nice walk into the village and nearby seafront. Room was warm, comfortable and well furnished, with reliable plumbing. Had chairs in bedroom which many places miss out. We had missed dinner time but owner Steve helped us order a delivered-takeaway and provided plates and cutlery. Breakfast was generous and tasted great. Over breakfast co-owner Gavin chatted to us about things to do nearby - and his suggestions proved excellent. Made great start to holiday week.

The good lady and me really enjoyed our couple of nights stay @ THE GLADSTONE in June 2023. The room was excellent although only merited "economy without views" as we booked our stay when the Hotel was full (only 6 rooms). Unfortunate that there was not an upgrade available. We chose to dine at the Hotel as the food was wholesome, tasty and cooked to perfection with a non processed appeal presented from a reasonable priced menu. The Gladstones heart was the bar with sea views and chesterfield furniture, very trad' decor, real ales and cheerful bar staff - suited me being a pub person with years as a CAMRA member and many more years enjoying the beers around the world. Overall The Gladstone deserves a high score review, I would not bother at all reviewing inferior establishments so I am pleased to confirm the visit as most enjoyable. Marty

Although more of a pub than a b&b the place has a wonderful vib , excellent staff that will bend over backwards . The location is spot on just of the express way but far enough for no noise . You need to book for food but is definitely worth it at excellent prices . Gavin is a great host and goes out his way to ensure you have a good stay . Would definitely visit again
