Very central location to the village. Welcomed on arrival with easy check in and check out. Dinner was v good and bar staff friendly. Nice short stay this time but we hope to return for a longer stay next time
The room is spacious and very bright. The bathroom is clean and the shower is nice. Convenient location and walkable distance to shops and restaurants.
Smart comfortable hotel. Lovely rooms.
All very new.
Breakfast is expensive for what provided - £15 a head. Would be better if breakfast included in room rate.
Stayed with a mate in a twin room so we could celebrate our 40ths exploring the area.
Excellent stay all round. Comfy and clean room, tasty breakfast, good bar, and friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more - thanks!
Brilliant stay. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Location is perfect for exploring snowdonia and lots of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Would definitely come back
This is an excellent hotel, situated in an ideal position in Betwys y Coed. The staff were lovely, especially Jude who took care of us for the week we were there. The rooms were good, clean & comfortable, good bed. The food was ok - typical breakfast fare and a decent restaurant without being spectacular. Overall an excellent stay. I would definitely go there again.
The hotel was lovely! It was so well done with stunning rooms, bar and restaurant. All staff were super helpful and friendly. Particularly the lady who served us as breakfast, she was so kind and great to chat to.
Great location with beautiful views and easy access to walks in the surrounding area.
Would definitely recommend!

Stunning property , relaxing lounge , lively bedrooms , perfect position in a lovely village.
Excellent hotel and great value for the price. The single room was a bit small, but overall nice and tidy. The hotel itself was very nice, including the restaurant/bar. Great location, and I would stay again!
