8/10 Very good

The staff were excellent - friendly and super helpful. The dinner was superb - everything was perfectly cooked. The grounds around the hotel are lovely - next to a river and surrounded by trees. The outside terrace was also great for an aperitif with a relaxing view. As always, there are a few things that could be improved - the bedcover was old and worn, some bathroom floor tiles were uneven and cracked and the balcony needed cleaning. Overall we enjoyed our overnight stay and would recommend it.

My stay at Craig-y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel was absolutely wonderful. The setting alone makes it special - nestled right along the river, surrounded by beautiful scenery that immediately makes you slow down and relax. In the evenings I opened my window to hear the sound of the river flowing by. It was incredible peaceful. The staff was genuinely warm and welcoming. They happily shared hiking recommendations, and one evening when I went down for a glass of wine, a staff member encouraged me to sit by the fire with my book instead of going back to my room. He kept adding logs to the fire while I read and enjoyed my wine - such a cozy touch! The food was also delicious! It was truly one of the most relaxing stays I've had in a long time. I would return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful hotel, with wide open spaces to walk your dogs off lead and only a short walk from the centre.the grounds are stunning. We paid extra for the riverside view which was spectacular, however I think the room itself needs some updating. The balcony was shabby, the table and chairs rusty, the bed was lovely big and comfy and clean, bedside lamps very cheap and didn’t say 4 star, same with the refreshment caddy and bathroom, some updating needed but overall I would absolutely stay again. It’s worth it for the views.

2 night stay to the end of our tour of West Wales

Although probably the best hotel and restaurant in Betws-y-Coed it is looking rather dated and in need of some further refurbishment eg the dripping hot tap in the bathroom and the carpet in the common areas. A 4 star hotel but not sure how it warranted this grading. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming, we ate here twice but service was very slow due to ‘chef’ staffing problems, but the food was good. A bit surprised that a glass of wine came out of a miniature rather than a full bottle. The meal is also not cheap, £36 for a main and a dessert!!

A very lovely stay

From start to finish fabulous. Easy and simple booking, friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed a 2 night stay b&b and added on a lovely meal on our first night. The food was tasty and outstanding. Surrounding grounds were beautiful & it’s perfect location to explore north wales. Also felt safe with all the Covid regulations in place.

Almost perfect

Great stay, great location, great staff, only comment is it felt sometimes with only 2 staff they were run ragged doing everything, reception, bar, restaurant all at the same time..this impacted on waiting times. But again cannot fault the staff we met all first class...

One of the best hotels in Betws-Y-Coed

This was our second stay in this hotel and we are planning to stay here in the future when we are on our next holiday in Snowdonia. Amazing location, plenty of parking, welcoming staff, great breakfast, clean room and bathroom (!!!), short walk to the village centre. TVs are on the smaller side but we did not come here to watch TV. Electric cars can be charged nearby. We had a great time!
