Craig-y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel

The hotel is lovely, welcoming and attentive staff. We picked the hotel based on location, as it was very near to where we were climbing the next day. A few bonuses were that the room was a good size as was the bathroom, the shower was powerful and easy to adjust the temperature, hot chocolate in the room. Best of all was that there is EV charging on site, this is paid for, but it was a fair price. The bed was very comfortable with some nice pillows. Breakfast was the standard fare with Full Welsh, buffet as well as other choices from the menu. I can recommend the overnight oats.

Went with my wife and myself with 10 other people for my wife’s friend celebrating her 75th birthday what a fabulous weekend was had by all. The hotel rooms were very clean all with en-suites,the breakfast and evening meal were very tasty with a good choice, all the staff were excellent nothing was too much for them.

Friendly hotel in a wonderful setting next to the rocky Conwy River with its private riverbank grounds. Stayed one night but saw dippers, grey wagtails, mergansers and kingfisher on many occasions. Very comfortable well equipped room. Dinner at 2AA rosette restaurant was excellent with table in conservatory looking over the river. Some road noise in daytime but very quiet after 7pm. Very comfortable beds.

This hotel is like a little oasis, a peaceful place by a beautiful river where you can really recharge. The staff are so friendly and you immediately feel like you have known them for years. The view from our very comfortable room was just breathtaking and the sound of the river was so calming that we left the door open so we could listen to it all night. We visited places nearby, as Betws y coed is a great centre to travel out to lots of tourist destinations, but we made sure we came back mid afternoon so we could sit on the deck with a delicious drink, when it didn’t rain, and take in the gorgeous scenery. The hotel is lovely, with a fantastic conservatory restaurant right by the River Conwy, and the food is second to none that we have experienced anywhere. The chef created an exciting and imaginative menu, also using produce from the hotel kitchen gardens, and the menu evolved according to what was available. Not only were the dishes a feast for the eyes but the flavour combinations were sensational…..a real treat. The weather was varied but it did not matter, we had a lovely last minute holiday and I only wish we had booked for a longer stay. A big thank you to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Upon arrival we were greeted warmly by Michelle. We reserved one of the rooms with a hot tub and balcony and the view over the river was gorgeous. The room was comfortable and spacious. We had one dinner at the hotel plus an afternoon tea. All meals were delicious and we enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful lounge. There are lots of things to do nearby, including hikes, shopping, and adventures like the Rib River rides. Our favorite part of our stay would have to be the incredible hospitality. Everyone was welcoming and friendly, all the while respecting our privacy. We will definitely be back!

We stayed in room 10 with hot tub, the view was beautiful and so claiming, we ate in the restaurant and the food and service was amazing! Just a few minutes walk into the beautiful village so a perfect base. Prices are a bit higher than other places but I believe you get what you pay for and it’s definitely worth the few extra pounds
