Decided to have a little get away for the bank holiday weekend, booked this hotel last minute and got a decent deal on it. I love Aberdovey it's such a beautiful part of the world with relaxing and beautiful scenery. This hotel is perfectly place to make the most of the view and scenery. Room was huge, beds were very comfortable only gripe about it would be the air-conditioning wasn't working but we opened a window, unfortunately it was rather loud until late in the evening as people were in the pub and next door. Went to the restaurant for both dinner and breakfast. Food was exceptional everything was cooked perfectly and prices are reasonable. I would whole heartily recommend coming here and visiting this lovely pub / hotel 👍

Disappointed on the whole. Some serving staff in need of training. We ordered starters and mains for 4 people. Starters arrived after 30 minutes and we waited another 30 minutes for our mains. Unfortunately 2 of our mains were served to a couple on another table who looked confused and poked about at the food for while. After a few minutes the waitress came back from the kitchen to the couple’s table. I could see a discussion taking place. The waitress then picked up the meals, bought them over to our table and asked if I had ordered the Chicken Tikka. I thought ‘surely she doesn’t expect me to accept a plate of food that was left in front of another customer while she went to the kitchen’. So, for the reasons that it had been on another customer’s table I said politely that ‘I would rather not have that Chicken Tikka’. The waitress was surprised then dejected and argued that it hadn’t been touched by the guests at the other table. Five minutes later I was bought slightly warm Chicken Tikka. My companions found out from other staff that it was indeed the same plate that had been served to me after it had been back to the kitchen. Later we were told that the manager was too busy to see us, although it didn't seem busy even for a Monday in September. For me and my companions to be treated like that was a real low in customer service standards.

I’ve been here multiple times and had such a great experience with amazing food, unfortunately today really let me down in multiple ways and I’m praying it’s just a one off but I do think this has put us off coming again. I’m unsure if maybe there’s a different management or staff but this experience was just a real let down for us. We ordered on the app as the menu encourages this, to then wait half an hour for our drinks, we even had to chase them down and our food came before the drinks. The food came and we received no napkins, no knives and forks etc. and had to hail someone down for these. LASTLY, we had a cowboy burger and understandably beef can sometimes come pink but one of the burgers came looking completely pink and raw inside! I hate complaining about things and was hoping someone would come and check back to see if our food was okay just so we could make them aware but nobody did. They did seem a little busy so maybe that is why, if it was just one complaint I wouldn’t have minded however it was multiple. Truly a shame as we loved coming here previously

My friend, who lives here locally & I popped in here one wet & dreary Sunday afternoon recently. It was dreary outside and not that much better inside. The guy behind the bar seemed rather bored but was civil enough and took our orders of a couple of beers. Another guy working there (the owner or manager?) who my friend apparently knew came past us but made no real attempt to engage in any friendly banter. His lugging stuff around the pub seemed to be his priority. There were some vestiges of some sad looking Christmas decorations on one wobbly table. The guy behind the bar sighed that they had been put up at the insistence of the brewery. Anyway, we supped on our beers, and watched one of the TV screens showing World Cup rugby. We waited until half time and then tried to get back to my friends home to watch the second half in more happier surroundings.

Let me be clear: the staff are bloody excellent here. Every person we spoke to at the bar was more than accommodating, they were funny, engaging and delightful to deal with. The space itself if comfortable and cozy, and being dog friendly goes a long way. In short: everything is great at the Dovey, apart from the food. Everything we ordered was fried within an inch of its life, and the £7 for nachos was awful, so much so we asked for a refund. Come here for a pint or three, a chat, a hot chocolate (they were delicious) but not the food. Head somewhere else for that.

Sarah and Callum were so welcoming. The beer and burgers are amazing & we totally recommend a visit here if you are in Aberdovey. So good the first night.... that we came back a second night. We had steak, scampi and burgers. Love the dog friendly atmosphere as we had our two furry friends with us. Can not recommend this pub enough! And I work in one myself back in Kent, so I know good hospitality and good food when i get it!! We will come again when next in Wales. I hope Sarah and Callum are still here then, as they are a credit to this pub!
