With Barmouth beach & train station reachable within 500 metres, The Royal offers a traditionally styled, family and dog friendly pub with accommodation, showing live sports and often having live music at weekends.
Staff friendly and helpful.
Rooms, great! Comfy bed, great shower, brilliant breakfast...catered for gluten free aswell.
Location great for us Visiting friends.
Its very central.
You have your key for the side private entrance, no need to walk through the busy bar if you don't want to.
All round great stay.
I stayed 2 nights at The Royal and ate there both nights.
All the staff were very friendly and both meals were really tasty, as well as good value.
During my trip I spoke to a few locals who all told me it is the best pub in Barmouth, which is easy to believe.
Unfortunately my bathroom (room 5) smelt really musty, which wasn't ideal and my room was above the bar, so a bit noisy in the evening which was a shame as I wanted an early night and that wasn't easy.
I feel a bit mean knocking a star off, but it'd be wrong for me to give 5* when taking into account the above.
All in all, I enjoyed my stay, it was great value and I'd definitely return.
Absolutely brilliant place to see, have a walk all over as the murals are excellent. We've ate there twice, a group of four and six and everyone was very very pleased. Prices are all very fair.
I gather the time are also excellent.
An easy five star place, good luck to the owners.

Well from the moment we checked in the staff were very friendly and professional. Room was very spacious and well equipped. Fridge and fan which we didn't expect and the tea tray didn't disappoint. We stayed for five nights and even though we were right above the front door noise was expected but not really an issue. You are pre-warned before booking: guests have their own entrance so don't have to go through bar if don't want to which was nice. You can choose your breakfast the night before from a tick list but don't have to: we found it very helpful. Going for breakfast in the morning was a look forward to moment because from the first morning to the last we were greeted with a smile and a laugh from the exceptional team of the chef and especially Brian(Daddy). Paul(Puppy). And banana. We had such a laugh and set us up for the day with a smile:
Can't recommend this place to stay enough. We had a fantastic time there: will definitely be going again.

Wonderful stay, quirky building with bags of character and the most unique art work inside adding to its charm.
Mark and Yvonne are wonderful friendly and accommodating hosts and the staff are very attentive and hardworking. Drinks are super reasonable too.
10/10 thankyou 🥰
