What a stunning location! Set in the Welsh countryside, this hotel is housed in a building that was…read moreoriginally built in the 1500s! The rooms are nice and comfortable, particularly the bed. I liked that the bathroom has a bathtub - was exactly what I felt like after a long day of travelling. The check in process is simple and the staff are lovely and polite. The restaurant has a great menu and the food is very good. The rooms and the hotel are a whole was very clean and well presented. I would certainly stay there again.

We stopped at this restaurant purely by chance, and were happy they could take us, as several other…read morerestaurants were booked. The staff was very pleasant, and served us promptly even though there was a huge table full of old people (probably a tour.). Haha, they were about our age. I ordered the smoked hake and chorizo risotto, because I usually love chorizo. But I ended up fishing it out and stacking it on the side, as it was so spicy AND gristly that it overpowered the dish. With it out of the way, the rest of the dish was quite good. My husband had the cow au vin, which was outstanding. I'd return just for that. I was jealous.

Recently discovered this gem on a trip to Snowdonia. Wonderful pub food, serving local meats and…read moreingredients. We ate here twice, easily the best food in the local vicinity and the atmosphere is especially suited to cold wintry nights. We had the homemade Steak & Ale pie and Slow braised Lamb Hock, both were divine. This is not fine dining but British classics using excellent local ingredients and executed wonderfully. I imagine this is the kind of fare that the local folk and the farming community have been getting for centuries but virtually impossible to find for us city slickers The perfect reward after conquering Snowdon!

We stayed at the Ty Gwyn hotel in Betws-y-coed, Cymru (Wales) in the early part of October, 2012…read more My sister found it and booked us a couple of rooms for two nights. The hotel is a B&B as well as a very popular restaurant. Betws-y-coed is a gateway to Snowdonia, the national park which is a must visit if you're in the area. If you stay some place else, you must try to get a reservation to the restaurant. And getting a reservation on a Friday and a Saturday looked like a hard thing to do. The food is excellent, well served. The breakfasts are amazing. The ambience in the somewhat cramped environment is charming. The hotel itself is very well run. The staff, and in particular Rob (?) and the owners son whose name we forgot to get, were all very professional and friendly. They do have wifi but it does not extend into the rooms unfortunately. Which means we had to go and sit in the tiny lobby to get a good signal. But it is there and it is free. The rooms are small and most come with en suite bathrooms. Some rooms look like they have the bathroom across the hall but are dedicated to a single room. Everything was clean and well taken care off though not new. The lamps are low. I'm not tall and it was easy to brush my head against the chandelier. Mattress was comfortable, room was warm, the shower had good pressure, tea and coffee provided. The outer walls to this hotel are thick. The walls between rooms are thin so noise travels easily. My wife could hear the guy next door snoring. I easily rose to the challenge and out-snored him according to her. One of the main drawbacks to the hotel is that it is right on the street. And a busy one at that during the day. And by right on the street I mean you have to watch traffic carefully as you walk next to the hotel. Traffic noise does seep in but traffic dies down at night to pick up again in the morning. It wasn't a problem for me. If you're sensitive, then a room on the back of the hotel might be better. I liked my view of the river from our window. It's a little walk across a bridge to get to the town but it's not a big deal. Definitely go to the restaurant for an evening meal. You won't be sorry. I really enjoyed staying here and recommend it to anyone.

Showed us to the room and showed us how everything worked, which we had struggled with at other places this trip. Poured us drinks in the evening and chatted with us, offering info and conversation to pass a pleasant evening. Could not think of a single thing that could have been better. Our stay at Castlebank was the highlight of our trip.

We were treated like royalty, reception booked us in for our evening meal at Castell Deudreath (the more modern hotel and restaurant in Portmeirion Village) and even booked the complimentary taxi service for us so we didn't have to walk up the hill. The meal was superb and the taxi brought us back to our hotel when we were finished. Our room was perhaps a little dated but charming all the same and very pretty and this was all forgotten the folowing morning when we woke up to breakfast in bed and the gorgeous view of the estuary as the sun slowly rose in the sky. I long to return to The Hotel Portmeirion again to fully explore the village and enjoy the tranquility and service we experienced there.

You can hear loud laughter and hollering towards night but the bar closes at 10pm, so it gets quiet again - this was fine for me. The hotel portion is upstairs and there's a back door in the restaurant that takes you right up, as well as a separate side door to come in and out without having to go through the restaurant. My room was my favorite out of the 5 hotels I've stayed at so far in England, including 2 Hilton hotels. High ceiling, beautiful room decor, comfortable bed and pillows, good hot water and room temp, great breakfast, great staff, clean clean clean. No fridge tho. The restaurant serves good food and vegetarian options are available on the menu. I'd look forward to coming back and staying here again! Hopefully they put me in the same room... it was called "the killer" in Welsh.
