The Brondanw Arms in Gwynedd

Camped overnight in our campervan £10 per night then had food looked a bit basic but pleasantly surprised how good the food was.

Great welcome and a very good crowd I go there again in a heart beat stayed over night as well and it was quiet and peaceful all night 🌙

Food was great, service just fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Great service from staff and good beer. Quiet overnight stop. No running water in sinks for the outside tap. And a very drunk patron ruined the first hour with his constant swearing, shame he wasn't asked to leave.

Loved our visit here - dog friendly, good honest, fresh cooked food and a decent pint of bitter. All in all a proper country pub where the staff make you feel welcome from the moment you step inside

Booked weeks in advance to be told on arrival that it was closed on Mondays. No mention of that at all upon booking. We had also booked a night of camping with them, as had another camper van which turned up at the same time, but absolutely no facilities available due to the pub's closure. Owners/landlord totally unhelpful and not bothered about our predicament. We left to try and secure an alternative dog friendly campsite before dark. Would certainly not recommend.

We booked here for a meal this evening and we will never be visiting the place again.. We would also recommend everyone else staying well clear of this place. The whole place was tired looking and not very appealing. The food took an age to come out and it was not worth the wait. I had the rump steak which to be fair was ok, the peppercorn I can only describe as being a packet cheese sauce with peppercorns stuck in it. The whole family smelt it and it stunk of cheese so it wasn't just my smell. The chips were clearly straight out of the freezer and not great. If you wanted to season your food you had to use the tiny little packets of salt provided on the table, we only had two on our table and had to go searching the other tables for some more. Fair enough this is probably because of covid but at least make sure there is enough on each table, no need to ration them. The rest of the family had a terrible meal also and i let the manager know how disappointed we were. The manager at that point told me it was a matter of opinion and that I was the first person ever to complain. (Hard to believe with some of the bad reviews on here). The manager was so rude and just plain aggressive towards me and said “what do you want then while looking down at the till”. I replied with “the bill has already been paid in full”, at this point Jackie the general manager said ok and said she would like me to get out of her pub. I have never been spoken to in this way before, especially as a paying customer. Please stay away from this pub unless they have a change of chef or at least hire a chef instead of a microwave. They also most definitely need a new manager otherwise they wont be staying open for much longer with her terrible behaviour.Edit: In reply to the managers comments, I would also say that she is a deluded liar. The quality of our food was brought to the attention of the very good young waitress before the bill was paid and I then spoke to the manager at the table before the bill was paid. The manager was extremely rude at the table and despite the poor food and terrible attitude of the manager we paid the bill with no qualms. We merely brought to her attention the poor quality of the food we ate, a microwave meal from Tesco's would have been better. I went to the bar before leaving and asked to speak to the manager again and spoke to her calmly and in no way aggressive. I stated that i didn’t appreciate being spoken to the way she did and that her attitude was terrible. She clearly could not take any constructive criticism and straight away saw us as liars and out to get her shall we say. As you say people are entitled to have an opinion and any good pub/bar, restaurant/take away would normally welcome feedback whether it be negative or positive. The pub is indeed in a lovely location but I'm afraid will never full-fill its potential with you at the helm.

Cosy country pub inside with open fires for a cold night after a long walk, didn't try the food but it smelt & looked wonderful. The views from the huge beer garden are amazing!! Definitely worth a visit just to see that!! Good selection of beers too!!!

Absolutely loved the drive to and from this place, and once we got there we were not disappointed! What a fantastic beer garden. Shutting dining a cold one with the sheep grazing in the background. Nice little kids playground there too. Staff very nice and friendly.

Lovely location. Narrow road with characteristic slate walls. We had our meal in the garden next to the children's fenced off play area. Ate under a tree as the sun was very strong. The inside of the pub has character and the staff were very friendly.
