10/10 Excellent
"Spent a one night stay in a family with my two 14 year olds. Check in was a bit slow, waiting in the bar area for around 10-15 minutes early evening, before a staff member could see to us. Our room was in a separate building and was newly refurbished. It was spacious with a large bed and sturdy bunks, all important WiFi for the kids! Decoration was cosy and comfortable. Tea making facilities were welcomed. Had a quiet nights rest. We ate our evening meal in the restaurant. We were served quickly and the food was delicious- steaks & burgers being ordered. Good size portions, Table’s weren’t cleared anywhere without asking and we could sense frustration of some guests but we weren’t too bothered. We finished off with a ‘brick’ of sticky toffee pudding. We all rolled to bed stuffed! The outside areas of the hotel were pleasant, lots of seating, pretty flowers, twinkly lights. We didn’t bring our dog but it looked like they’d be well catered for. Breakfast was pleasant with lots to choose from and again delicious. The morning staff were super helpful and friendly. We took the opportunity to visit Swallow Falls being right opposite. Spent about half an hour there taking some pictures. All in all, good location for the town and visiting Snowdonia. An enjoyable brief stay. Would certainly book again."

"Lovely location and room was nice too. Handy having bar and restaurant onsite, with little beer garden at the side to enjoy the nice views. Really liked the little touches like the nice toiletries to use in the bathroom and locally made yoghurt at breakfast and decor in the rooms. Breakfast was very good, especially the laid out continental part. About 5 minutes drive into Betws-y-coed which is a lovely little town. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!"
