About this property

Amid 16 acres, surrounded by calm woodland slopes on the banks of the River Conwy, this 4-star gold award-winning Victorian country house offers a unique location in the village, with an emphasis on peace and quiet. Craig-y-Dderwen is a traditional hotel in the small, but popular village of Betws-y-Coed. Just 5-10 minutes' walk from the village center, Craig-y-Dderwen is the only hotel located away from its busy main road. With free parking, this is an excellent place to relax and plan your stay in the Snowdonia National Park. Most rooms have beautiful views of either the Conwy Valley or the flowing river. The Riverside Restaurant also overlooks the river and offers AA Rosette-quality cuisine. A choice of bars means you can either relax beside a real log fire, or overlook the 16 acres of hotel grounds.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.7 for a two-person trip.
