Although I've never spent a night in the Oriel House I have spent a few days there. Years ago I…read moreworked for an employer who from time to time used the Oriel as a venue for training courses. I actually spent my fortieth birthday there on a slightly strange course from which I learned nothing but at least I got a day out of the office and a nice lunch. I've just recently been back as my brother-in-law and his fiance chose the hotel as their wedding venue. They do the complete wedding package in-house so the ceremony, wedding breakfast and night do all took place in the hotel. The grounds are ideal for wedding photos and there is a nice outdoor patio, not too far from the bar, which is a great location to sit around and chat while the photos are being taken. If the weather isn't good enough there's a bright and warm conservatory adjacent to the patio. The food at the wedding breakfast was very good, duck parfait as a starter, roast chicken with boulangere potatoes and veg for the main course and a rich chocolate cheesecake with caramalised bananas for dessert. Everything was well cooked and tasty. Service was very efficient with courses been served quickly but without any feeling of being rushed. The evening buffet consisted of cooked meats, quiches and pasta and rice salads and again was very tasty and a step above those hotels that rely on the freezers in Iceland for their buffet menu. All in all a very well organised and enjoyable day. I can't really comment on the accommodation, although I did get a quick look at the bridal suite (and I assume that not every room has a jacuzzi the bedroom!), but as a conference/training or wedding venue you can't go too far wrong with the Oriel House. The only minor quibble we had was that there was no facility to pay by card at the bar, we had to leave a card behind the bar and set up a tab, but we would have preferred to pay as we went.

The first thing that strikes you when you enter is that this hotel is very well run. The staff are young bright and energetic, nothing is too much trouble for them.

They also have an extensive wine list

Tros Yr Afon is a cluster of self-catering holiday accommodation cottages in Beaumaris, Anglesey…read moreand was the location for the wedding of close friends. Originally a manor house and farm buildings built in the early part of the 19th century - they are set around a pretty, gravelled courtyard. Ty Mawr, the Manor House (which sleeps 18) is grand and spacious whereas the cottages are more rustic and cosy sleeping between 2-8 people. It really was the perfect place for a wedding, as the huge gardens easily accommodated a large tepee where the reception was held. The weather was glorious for the entire weekend, so the ceremony itself was held on the lawn in front of the Manor House and then drinks were served in the courtyard whilst photos were being taken. It was fantastic to have a self-contained large space to celebrate well into the night/morning. Most of the cottages have their own private gardens but there are also the woods to explore and a large trampoline (yes, we went on that after quite a few beers). Their land spreads to some six acres in total, including a tennis court. The local pebble beaches are only a short walk and quaint Beaumaris town is just over two miles away. There are a number of good cafes, restaurants and pubs here. We couldn't get over how truly gorgeous this place was; we're hoping their wedding anniversary parties will return here!

A load of holiday cottages all surrounding a main house - it's the perfect place to hold a big celebration, wedding etc and with us and a load of others taking over the whole compound for 4 days it really felt great to be in such an enclosed but spacious place. The ceremony took place around the back of the house, the garden had a large enough area for a giant tipi taking over 100 guests and the front was great for a reception. Lovely fauna and foliage - this place was the great and we even got some sun - nice work James ;-) A 5 min drive from Beaumaris, probably a lot longer to walk up and down hill - a real hidden gem and with it only being 2 hours drive from Manchester is perfect for a weekend or longer away!

My friend and I stayed here in August 2022 and loved it! We chose the Gwynfryn Guest House because…read moreof its central location inside the city walls, good reviews, an amazing chapel breakfast area, and overall affordability.... I'm happy to say we had no regrets! A couple things I'd highlight: -We met one of the owners (Colin, I believe) and he was super welcoming and suggested a great local restaurant around the corner called Watsons Bistro. -The rooms are very tasteful and the beds are comfortable. -The breakfast was tasty and the service was great. -The chapel is really very beautiful/special/fantastic/all the adjectives. -We parked right outside the walls for a cheap price. It was only a few minutes walk. No big deal. Conwy and Snowdonia were our favorite places to visit on our Wales trip, and the Gwynfryn Guest House definitely contributed to that! We would happily go back.

As of last Sunday 5/20/2017~ish, the new kitchen and breakfast room has been relocated to the old church chapel - it's awesome! So, the room I stayed in was in the "vestry" and was superb! All brand new, clean and cozy - the room was perfect! The ensuite bathroom was very nice (only needed some hand soap.) During my recent trip, I stayed twice, but a week apart...kinda coming and going. Both visits were stellar. Colin was extremely cool and accommodating (only met Monica briefly - she was quite friendly). I'm not sure how soon I'll be back, but I will only stay at Gwynfryn during my next visit to Conwy - it was PERFECT! 5 stars...so SOLID!

This fantastic and unique B&B is set in the glorious beauty of the Snowdonia National Park…read more Just a 10min drive away from Pen-y-pass (A4086) popular start point for the ascent of mount Snowdon. Ancient and modern stylishly combine in this B&B set within a 19th century church in the mountain village of Capel Curig. There are four stylishly designed, comfortably sized, en-suite rooms, two with hand-carved four-poster beds and two twins. There are another two doubles with shared bathroom one of which has a sofa bed that is popular with families. A bunkroom with four beds is ideal for walkers and climbers as well as being a favorite with teenagers. The room is shared; as are the slightly bracing bathroom facilities, but the view to the Carneddau Mountains and access to all the other facilities - including a drying room - make this a bunkroom with a difference.

We recently stayed at the Acorns, a lovely cosy appartment on the A5 Holyhead Road as you come into…read moreBetws y Coed. Its a really well appointed appartment for two people, with a spacious lounge, nice kitchen with fridge, electric cooker and microwave and one bedroom. The lounge has the basic sky tv package so after a hard day on the hills you can veg out in front of some junk tv! Its only a three minute walk into the centre of Betws y Coed with all the amenities it offers. Only one thing was disappointing really - there is no bathroom as such, there is a toilet with wash basin off the lounge, and in the bedroom there is what is described as a 'double' shower but in reality is just a large cubicle with a very temperamental electric shower - don't expect to soak your aching bones in a bath after a hard day's mountain walking!

The English Breakfast was so-so, but they make up for it by having a bar with Carlsberg Export on draught. The whole place, I thought, was reasonably well kept considering it's right on the promenade facing the beach and rather old. I took lift B to my garret room. The lift was endearingly/hilariously small. There are multiple lifts depending on which part of the hotel you're inhabiting. There are also lots of stairs. It's just vernacular and interesting. I liked it. Travelodge it is not! Caught some of the entertainment shows they offer at night and enjoyed them, even if they were not really for my demographic (probably for the best, tbh). Didn't get a chance to use the pool, unfortunately. If you like aging, mysterious buildings give it a chance. Oh, there was Wifi, but it wasn't very good. Hopefully I can make it back again soon.
