The best place to stay in Betws-y-Coed indeed! We absolutely adored our stay — super comfy beds, lovely hosts with amazing breakfast and recommendations for the area. Quiet (off the main road where most of the accommodations in town are located), homey feel but clean and well kept. Everything about this place was a thumbs up from us. Can’t wait to be back one day!

We spent 3 nights in this lovely clean guest house. Private off road parking, and all amenities within short walking distance. The owners are welcoming and super helpful. The breakfast was delicious. My wife was pleasantly surprised by the vegetarian options.

Served a purpose

We needed somewhere to stay to attend a wedding & we struggled to find a room due to the majority of accommodation in the village already being booked. This place had a twin room with shared bathroom including breakfast available which we booked & it was just what we needed & served a purpose. It was in a great location with private secure parking.

Friendly, helpful, hosts who provided home from home accommodation with a substantial, locally sourced, breakfast. Property is on the edge of the town, in a set back location so very quiet, though only a couple of minutes walk to all local amenities.

Ever again

I expected more for the money , my partner is 6f2 and his bed was too small the stairway and toilets also . No great sleep as the chuch bells chiming the hour and our door lock fall on the second night .I was also expected to have gown and sleeper as the shower room and toilet was a floor bellow . Due to covid everything has to be ask for as nothing is replenishing or replaced .

Warm Welcome

A very warm welcome, excellent breakfast! Clean and comfortable. For my preference the bed was a little bit too firm. But that is a minor point in what, otherwise, was an excellent stay!
