Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Room was huge. Well equipped and comfortable. Fridge. Safe. Large tv. Huge window with coffee table and chairs. Walk in shower. Air conditioning.
It’s a little dated around the edges
Rooms with private entrance, breakfast very good
Bar is fairly boisterous so can be noisy
Good location for our Hurly Burly swim
Kitchen closed on the Friday night before our swim on the Saturday. We ate across the road instead
The high standard of room and location were perfect for us. Additionally the staff so helpful too.
Nothing
Staff were lovely...breakfast decent...great location
Room was a bit cold...some instructions on how to use a/c would have been useful.
Lovely big bedroom with a comfy bed. The breakfast menu was fantastic, and super tasty. The staff were so helpful at all times.
Tad pricey but it was on a popular weekend
Perfect location. The staff were exceptional. Room spacious and clean, large bathroom with a walk in shower and bath. Unfortunately not serving food day/evening but we did have breakfast which was excellent, really good standard with plenty of choice. Highly recommend and would stay again.
No complaints
Breakfast was excellent. Great to have parking very nearby. Clean and today, excellent value for money.
Nothing.
Great location, good parking, very comfortable. Stayed here many many times, breakfast always very good.
Rock music at breakfast 😒
Central location in a picturesque town, helpful friendly staff, clean comfortable room and great breakfast.
A very comfortable, good size room. Excellent shower room.
Nothing not to like, although breakfast was extremely slow and had to be chased up.
Staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. Room was good.
Lighting in the bathroom for make up etc. was not adequate.
The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and very nicely decorated. The included breakfast was high quality with lots of vegetarian options. The bar had a good choice of drinks and served delicious burgers and messy fries.
Staff friendly and location good
This is the 4th stay for us, rooms are looking tired, bathroom needs attention and the breakfast is nowhere near as good as when we first stayed. Took along time to bring it too. Also the pub was rammed and not an enjoyable check in experience .
We stayed in the king size room,but I didn’t realise it was top floor which when your our age and not really fit was a bit of a struggle .but room was lovely and clean,comfy bed ,great shower . Staff were lovely too . Breakfast was amazing and the young girl who did the breakfast she was so lovely and chatty which made us feel very welcome .she couldn’t do enough for us and she is definitely a bonus to the pub . Right in the town and free parking which is a bonus .loved our stay and will definitely be booking again thanks to all your staff 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

The room was very spacious, quiet and clean the staff were very polite and friendly.
Couldn’t fault my stay
Breakfast was good.
Room on the 3rd floor, poor lights as they flashed during the night until we removed the plug. Sink in bathroom kept sticking. Shower screen leaked on the floor as door didn’t fit properly. Had to have the window open to have the air con on, which defeated the object as the proper air con not working. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in the room. No toilet roll holder and no window 8n the bathroom.
Great air conditioning in the room
No usb in the rooms. Would also have been nice to have a smart tv
Fabulous modern room with aircon, very much needed on the hottest day of the year!! Excellent breakfast and ideally located with very accessible parking.
Nothing
The Tilman offers a real surprise! On arrival It looks like a very traditional,and very popular, Welsh pub but the bedrooms are anything but traditional - very contemporary with a real eye for design, wet room,comfy bed, lots of nice touches.Friendly staff and an excellent breakfast served in the bar
Apart from breakfast which was excellent the only food the Tilman offers is a wide range of burgers.Very tasty but a wider choice of food would be nice so avoiding the need to dine elsewhere!
Clean, spacious & quiet, despite being on the Main Street it was the perfect spot, handy for bars, restaurants, shopping & the beach. A short walk to the railway station (5mins).
A mini fridge would have been perfect, especially as it was so hot,
Central location and young, friendly and helpful staff
Nothing really. The air conditioning broke down in our room but the staff did everything they could to rectify it during our stay.
Rooms were spacious and comfortable, staff were lovely and helpful. Breakfast was excellent
No dislikes
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Great choice of delicious breakfasts. Room very comfortable and spacious. Clean large bathroom.
Central location with secure adjacent parking. Excellent breakfast, and good welcome. Room facilities were excellent, the bed was comfy, and we enjoyed a quiet night's sleep.
The stairs were a little tricky with handrail only on one side.
Good location with private car park. Excellent quality breakfast and bar food. Very comfortable and clean rooms.
Nothing to dislike.
Very clean and tidy. Friendly, helpful staff. Location good. Met all our needs.
Nothing.
Breakfast was wonderful, and the staff were all very friendly and easy to communicate with. The room was spacious and very comfy bed and nice little things like biscuits and fancy water.
Only a few small things to note. The floor in the room was not as completely spotless as I would expect. No tissues available in the room and when room was freshened up they didn’t take away dirty glasses. A few more toiletries would also be a nice addition. Only minor things though, overall lovely.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good and enough of it. Very central for all other town attractions
Bit fiddly with the secure car park and motorcycles could be removed without barrier being raised but not a big deal
Breakfast was excellent
Outside noise from either a ac unit or extractor fan but it did stop around 23.30 ac in room was poor
Situated in center of Barmouth with secure parking .

Great break good breakfast as always
The laid back professionalism of the staff. Warm welcome. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice. The boutique look of the rooms and the most comfortable bed for a great night's sleep. Secure parking area which was an added bonus. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do.
Size of room and bed
Top floor without lift
Clean, nice room
Air con not working
We loved the room which had a bath and a separate shower also. Breakfast was lovely and cooked to order. Nearby private car parking was very helpful. Great central location and short walk to the beach. Staff were friendly.
The room is not routinely cleaned or towels changed unless we put the sign on the door for that purpose. We didn’t mind this as we made our own beds and if we needed anything we would ask one of the staff. A better approach would be to routinely clean the room unless stated otherwise.
Very good breakfasts particularly the first day second day the bagel was a bit chewy .
Unfortunately the internet net did not work on both days and it was not possible to get it working. We had to access the internet from the staircase not a big issue but rather frustrating.
Nette ruime kamer

The location is excellent, the free parking is excellent in such a busy place. The staff are excellent , helpful, professional and friendly .
Nothing to dislike
Staff very helpful and welcoming. The rooms were very clean. The bed was very comfortable. There was an excellent choice at breakfast.
Our room was large and comfortable with an excellent shower. The shared carpark is close by and secure. Great staff. Recommended.
Breakfast
State of the room was poor and the radiator in the bathroom was full on all the time with no where to turn it off.
We were in room 8 and the aircon wasn’t working
First time staying at this location normally stop other end of town everything within walking distance . Breakfast was amazing Staff are spot on and helpful Room was top notch and comfy
Could have done with a mini fridge but not really a main concern
In the heart of Barmouth Parking facilities good Breakfast was amazing
Our room was on 3rd floor- 56 steps to reach it When booking I should have asked for a lower room I booked a king room but it wasn’t big Pub was very busy on the weekend
Central location, clean, friendly staff. The breakfast was very good value for money.
Lack of a lift for tired legs after long days of walking 🤣
Lovely staff & rooms fab
Aircon not working when it was very hot & bathroom radiator on but no problem foundthe switch to turn it off

Location
No toilet paper in room, had to go into staff closet to find early Tuesday morning. Breakfast on Weds very slow, 5ins from ordering to being presented
Sehr schönes, grosszügiges Zimmer und Bad. Obwohl es direkt über dem Pub war, sehr ruhig.
Die Frühstücksoptionen, abgesehen vom klassischen englischen Frühstück, waren überschaubar. Kellogg‘s abgepackt und Yoghurts, Dänisch. Z.B. wäre Granola ode Haferflocken wünschenswert. Aber: Englisches Frühstück war top.
Every single staff member we encountered at The Tilman was friendly and helpful. They kindly stored our bags before check-in so we could walk around the area unhindered. A member of staff helped to carry our luggage up to our room and offered help with our questions, and the bar and breakfast service were great. Breakfast here is both continental style and cooked to order with a large selection of dishes that use local ingredients. The room was a good size, and the bed was large and comfortable. We had a choice between both a bath and a shower in the bathroom. Everything was clean, and toiletries such as hand soap, body wash, and shampoo were available. The cans of drinks in the fridge were a nice touch, and we had plenty of tea and coffee facilities to make our own drinks. The location of the hotel is great - it is right in the centre of the town and everything (e.g. shops, places to eat, the beach/harbour, public transport, etc.) is easily accessible. Despite there being a bar directly beneath our room and other guests staying at the hotel, it remained incredibly quiet and offered us a relaxing space to rest.
I was slightly disappointed that the room I had requested had been given to another guest, but the staff were apologetic and helpful and gave us other options such as the same type of room on a different floor or a partial refund. The room and the corridor were rather hot, but the weather had been muggy. We opened our window further, and it managed to clear the air somewhat. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and we will be returning.
Great location, close to the beach, shops, restaurants and cafes. Really friendly staff.
We are seniors and were placed on the 3rd floor which required a lot of steps. We were fine with this but some may not be. My only suggestion would be to ask in advance is stairs are an issue.
Prima kamer, heerlijke douche en fijne handdoeken. Goede ligging en fijn dat we op de parkeerplaats konden parkeren
Laatste x ontbijt was er geen yoghurt en fruit. Verder goed ontbijt gehad
Great location staff are great would recommend & would vist again .
Comfy bed lovely bathroom. Friendly staff.
Fridge in room permanently set at a very high temperature for refrigeration. Put wi fi instructions in each room, not just in bar.
Room was beautiful & very clean. Also the location was perfect. The parking was very handy. The staff were friendly
It’s not that we didn’t like it it’s more just we were slightly disappointed in breakfast, after seeing it was rated as excellent on booking.com we expected … more? I had the eggs Benedict but the muffins were a little stale and had no butter on, plus the bacon was smoked - which wasn’t apparent until it came out. My partner ordered the hunter (full English essentially) but he basically said it would have been nice to have been given toast or something for the table too… we were still hungry, and they had left some tiny pastries on the bar top, which were delicious, we had one each but that’s all there was available - it would have been nice if there was a plate full
Pleasant staff and excellent breakfast
Strong food smells
Central to all .. shops… bars … beach carpark really handy and easy to find. Room very spacious and nicely set out, small things like mirrors by window to do makeup etc, lots of thought gone into it. breakfast was delicious 😁
Chambre confortable et personnel attentif . Très bon petit déjeuner.
Ventilation cuisine un peu bruyante la journée.
Hotel de caractère n Personnel très aimable
Pas d ascenseur
Authentiek en mooi in centrum
Niets, helemaal prima.
Everything was perfect
Location is good
The breakfast was over cooked and the beer delivery was very noisy at 7.30am
Great location to the beach shops and bars. The size and quality of the room and bed was excellent! Breakfast options were great.
Unfortunately we stayed in the heatwave and the air con failed to work on both evenings.
Great location and really cool vibe. The room was comfortable and clean and the shower great
The radiator in the bathroom was on and couldn’t turn it off so was rather warm, on hottest May Day!
Great situation carpark available.
Nothing V good
Handy carpark very close.
Not the first time we have stopped at the Tillman. However this time we booked a superior room,7 although more expensive well worth the extra. Had one small issue but the outstanding way it was dealt with demonstrated exceptional customer care. Room was immaculate. And the inclusive breakfasts were outstanding both a good choice and quality Complementary parking was an added bonus. Thank you to everyone.

Great place to stay in Barmouth with secure parking. Staff friendly, rooms to a high standard and clean, breakfast superb.
Nothing really.
Location was excellent, close to all facilities. The.secure car park was a bonus. Breakfast each day was outstanding
A lift would have been appreciated as our room was on the second floor and we both have some mobility issues. Would like to thank Connor who was very helpful carrying our luggage to the room and back down at the end of our stay.
Our room was recently refurbished with air conditioning and very comfortable bed. Great breakfast in morning Very helpful staff, especially Dale and good central location.
Above a very busy and noisy bar- however once in the room very little noise could be heard.

Location and car park
Breakfast: tasteless scrambled eggs and weak coffee.
Comfortable bed and excellent breakfast. Bonus - electric car charger. Ate there in evening and had a very good stay.
Bit of repair work going on paint on wall of en-suite but didn’t affect our use. Everything else was very good.
Just everything was good from the initial check in, the room quality and comfort and the breakfast
Nothing could have been better
Location and staff both excellent 👍

Central location with convenient parking. Good quality breakfast included
Room was very nice and the shower was excellent breakfast was superb 👌 👍
The breakfast was exceptional, freshly cooked and hot using local produce which all added to the experience. Our room was extremely clean and in lovely order and equipped with everything we needed including a kettle tea coffee and biscuits and milk, the bathroom had lovely soft quality towels and the shower was superb and with all necessary toiletries provided. Our bed was incredibly comfortable and we had a great night's sleep. The room was lovely and quiet as promised as we had requested a quiet room if it was possible and the staff at the Tilman certainly delivered.
A small fridge would have been useful but the lack of this didn't at all detract from our experience in fact it is very difficult if not impossible to find a fault with anything at the Tilman .
Booked a short break for our friends 40th birthday. Location excellent, room excellent too the bed was one of the comfiest that we've had in any hotel. The breakfast on the 2 mornings were hot and tasty so all good.
