I didn't stay here, I went to use the electric car chargers, but I was so impressed with the place we went back that evening to have dinner. You could say it was pricey at £55 for two courses or £65 for three but it's like all things in life you get what you pay for, and I thought the meal was worth every penny.
If you are looking for a cosy spot to stay with your four-legged friend, look no further than Craig-y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel. We brought our whippet along for the night and we all felt incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. We stayed in a Standard Room which was brilliant; it was spacious enough for the dog and extremely cosy for us. It’s rare to find a standard room that feels this comfortable and well-appointed. The location is absolutely ideal. Being right in Betws-y-Coed, the hotel is perfectly situated for exploring Snowdonia, with stunning scenery and walks right on the doorstep. The hotel itself has a lovely, peaceful vibe that makes it perfect for a recharge after a day outdoors. It was an excellent stay from start to finish, and we can’t wait to come back
Fantastic place. Staff are very polite and welcoming. Views on a sunny day are amazing but still tranquil on a damp day
Excellent except for making us pay extra for a bathrobe. The room, the view, the breakfast was all fantastic.
Just got back from one night stay here. Absolutely fantastic place. Room was large and clean and decking with covered hot tub overlooking the river was amazing. The hotel and room was also dog friendly and our furry friend enjoyed his stay too and was also given a sausage for breakfast. Will definitely be returning
My favourite place to stay. Their tiny cabins by the water is my most relaxing stays to get away from city in recharge, absolutely wonderful receptionist and it is so beautiful and quiet you will never want to leave
I have never stayed here as I live locally but have visited a few times to enjoy a drink and the beautiful view. We always receive a warm welcome. It feels like a lovely secret place.
We have been staying at this hotel for years and always have a lovely time. The rooms, food, location and service are amazing. I cannot fault it in anyway.
