Ty Gwyn Hotel

Ty Gwyn Hotel

The Ty Gwyn Hotel situated in Betws-y-coed, at the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, is a former coaching Inn dating back to 1636. The Ty Gwyn has been owned & run by the Ratcliffe family for the past 28 years, and Martin (the chef for the 28 years) and his wife Nicola have now taken over the running of this Centuries old, Multi award winning Inn.

Ty Gwyn - polytunnel

The Ty Gwyn has a very good reputation for its food, renowned locally for its international cuisine using the freshest of local produce. Many of the food stuffs are grown and harvested throughout the year in Ty Gwyn's polytunnels situated in 2 acres adjoining the Ty Gwyn. So you can be assured of high quality, fresh, seasonal produce, in all Ty Gwyn's menus.

Bookings for dinner are recommended.

The Ty Gwyn with its 3 four poster rooms and a honeymoon suite, beamed ceilings, antiques, log fires (in winter) is one of the most traditional Inns you will visit in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park

There is also a holiday cottage available - please enquire for further details.

Telegraph Magazine states Ty Gwyn Hotel is one of the 4 best Cosy Inns

Daily Telegraph's travel magazine “A former coaching inn, it dates from 1636 and is every bit as cosy as it sounds with low-lit dining-rooms and open fires. The inn has a very good restaurant, serving both sophisticated international dishes created from local produce and from the inn's own polytunnels (try the fresh steamed Conwy moules marinière or the pan-fried sirloin of wild boar with thyme-scented roast root vegetables) and 'winter warmer' comfort food – the mushrooms stuffed with vintage mature cheddar are delicious....

Laurence Fox

British actor Laurence Fox - star of ITV's spin-off series Lewis says "best hotel he has ever stayed in..."

When asked on the Telegraph's Heaven and Hell holidays spot. “What was the best hotel you've stayed in?” Internationally travelled Laurence replies “The Ty Gwyn Hotel in Betws-y-Coed. I was there to do some walking and climb up Mount Snowdon. The hotel was really cheap but very characterful. No one ever presented you with a bill for anything until you left. I know that's sort of normal in hotels, but it was particularly nice in this one because it's a pub hotel and you could have snuck out whenever you wanted. It has also got a cracking restaurant. ”
