Ty Gwyn Hotel

Situated in Betws-y-Coed, at the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, this multi award winning hotel is a favourite of those seeking a break in this idylic, Victorian honeymoon village. A centuries old Coaching Inn, with beamed ceilings and twelve beautiful bedrooms including 3 four poster rooms and a honeymoon suite, the Ty Gwyn is renowned locally for its international cuisine using the freshest of local produce.

"Ty Gwyn came to life 23 years ago on Friday 13 August, when it was bought by Jim and Shelagh Ratcliffe because Jim wanted to retire behind a bar from his Jaguar dealership. The chef is their son Martin who is loath, after a recent TV series, to admit that he trained at Liverpool's Adelphi Hotel. A very different Adelphi from it present incarnation. When Martin trained there it had 35 chefs and the French Restaurant was world famous. Brother Tim is front of house and looks after the hotel side of the business and sister Nicola is the accountant. Big Daddy still vigorously pursues retirement behind the bar..."
