"Very attentive to detail and making sure your stay is the best it could possibly be!"

"Parking was limited, we arrived with another 3 cars and there was only just enough space for us on Saturday at 5pm. By the time I went out later that evening the disabled bays were full of people with no blue badges so anyone needing these spaces would be unable to park near the front. The hotel lobby was excellent with lots of places to sit and relax, a bar and restaurant was the other side and a small shop available for snacks and toiletries. There isn't anything nearby that I could see so the restaurant was your only option unless you wanted to drive. We were told it was fully booked at 5:30pm when we wanted to eat but were able to order the same food at the bar and sit on some high tables. The food was superb - we all had the fish and chips which went down very well. Room was very clean and modern, with a SMEG fridge and kettle. Shower gel and shampoo was provided."

"Lovely hotel with friendly helpful staff. The accommodation is good, clean and spacious. We used the leisure facilities with large pool, a good clean sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. The food in the restaurant was excellent and good value. 10 minute walk into the centre of Betws-Y-Coed."

"Room was ok. Small double bed. No headboard, just the wall behind the bed. No hot water in peak times. No black out curtains at all. Lighting very dim in the room so impossible to put make up on anywhere other than the bathroom. "

"Avoid! I stayed in a single room on the second floor of this pub. The room was very tired/shabby and in desperate need of a deep clean. Old carpet fraying around the edges, dirty splashes up the wall, etc. Sloping, creaking floor. The mattress was old and uncomfortable - springs dig into you all night. I’m always wary of non-white towels and bed linen as cleanliness is never as good - it’s dark grey towels here and grey bed linen. Thin pillows and duvet. And the TV didn’t work. I now see there are lots of reviews saying that same. The response from the hotel is always to say something when you’re there but I can’t see how that would make any difference as the whole place is like this. There was a gap under the room door so I could, sadly. hear other guests easily. The door did a lock but it’s definitely not fire-safe. If this was a Travelodge if would be shut down as no one would put up with how run down it is. And this place cost me more than a Travelodge. Positives: There’s a small hotel/pub car park at the back and a Spar (grocery shop) opposite. The pub does serve food (but I got a pizza from a nearby cafe). I do not recommend this place. I received two WhatsApp messages from scammers who got my data from the hotel’s insecure system. I reported it to the hotel via email and they didn’t respond. I also reported it to Expedia and they were concerned and raised a report. The scammers knew my full name, and the dates I was staying at Gwesty’r Plas Coch Hotel, Bala."

"We loved our stay at Riverside Cottage. The cottage itself had everything we needed and it has been finished to a very high standard. Unlike a lot of places the appliances are from quality manufacturers such as Samsung (fridge, oven, and dishwasher), AEG (washing machine), and Bosch (gas hob), and the beds are super comfy with crisp white linen on them. Cut off from the (quiet) road also it feels quite alone and it is not overlooked. To cap it off the host was very helpful and gave us all the information we needed for a great stay. That included a list of lovely walks, of various grades, which can be done from/to the cottage, and there is also a nice pub within easy walking distance, which overlooks the estuary (George III Inn). We really relaxed here and just found the whole stay totally perfect"
