Amazing location, great value for money and we’ll be back!
Pros:

Perfectly located for amazing bars, food and scenery - never mind the beach over the road! The top floor room we had (number 7) was excellent. We opened the room door and the air conditioning was a big relief given the July heat.

Cons:

Nothing so far.

The staff were lovely, hotel itself could do with a bit of refurbishment, and the Managment could definitely look at the
Pros:

Lovely place centrally located in the village and a short walk from beautiful nature

Cons:

The price we were charged was extremely expensive for what we got. The hotel definitely did not reflect the cost.

Cons:

Very poor staff attitudes towards paying guests. Bunk house rooms were stifling hot! Appreciate it has been very hot recently but when went to reception to ask if there was a way to open the skylight as the stings were broken we were told no we dont have a ladder.
Food was very over priced £12 for a Chicago town pizza 😮
Cleanliness off tables was poor, was even told by a member of staff to clean up from put dinner we had purchased from the hotel.

Pleasant but slightly overrated.
Pros:

The room / suite was large, overlooking the main road. The bed was large and comfortable. The Spa was clean and functional. The breakfast was excellent with good range of options plus menus selections. Service was quick and efficient.

Cons:

Access to the room was via keyless combination code but awkward to navigate on first use, due to poor lighting. Shower was awkward to use with multiple levers to set flow and temp, that had unclear markings. Shower door clashes with toilet pan so slight risk of glass door breakage if not careful.

Fabulous stay in Betws
Pros:

This was a great stay. Bedroom was lovely. We were only on the first floor bit of was really quiet. Bed comfy. Shower over bath was great, although hot water took a long time to come through, but no drama. Breakfast was good, and catered for GF options. It exceeded my expectations.
Lovely bar, great staff, good options of drinks, and great menu for evening meal.

Cons:

I am being really picky by saying the bread at breakfast wasn't great. A good bread with the breakfast/sandwich makes a big difference. This is so I can say though - overall absolutely spot on 🙏
