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.

As a group of four tired walkers we were looking forward to a relaxing drink at the bar to this…read morehotel. Unfortunately, as soon as we walked into the premises, we were swiftly followed into the bar by the manager and told that he would only serve us one drink. Despite the bar being open for another three hours, he told us that we were only entitled to one serving. His explanation was that we had not been in all night and were therefore only allowed drinks on his terms. The local drinkers also expressed their concerns at his strange decision but he talked over them and allowed us to leave. I wouldn't bother spending your money in this bar. There's a much cheaper pub with a better atmosphere just down the road without an unwelcome manager.

It was a good job because it was a very wet weekend. Now the food. The food was great, local and fresh. The beetroot and goats cheese salad is amazing, soft, creamy, artful blobs of goats cheese with thin slices of crusty bread and beetroot. Best food in the area, so if your around do pop in. The soup is good too. I think you'll always find a warm welcome here. If your going on a Friday or a Saturday evening I would recommended you book.

At lunchtimes they serve meals in the bar, and we had a decent ploughman's lunch and a beef sandwich; both came with generous helpings of tasty salad, pickle and spring onions and in my case, three decent wedges of cheese (see picture). Fresh crusty bread rather than sliced would have made it perfect. The meals, with two rounds of drinks came to under £20.
