Craig-y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel

A delightful venue for afternoon tea with friendly and attentive staff. My wife and I came for a birthday treat. We were instantly taken by the venue, right next to the River Conwy and our table offered a panoramic view. The tea, the sandwiches and home made cakes were quite wonderful and we would most certainly come again. The venue was close to the centre and the lovely Betws shops but just far enough away to allow you the chance to enjoy some of the magnificent scenery without the usual crowds on a good day.

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.

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.
