Fairy Glen Hotel in Conwy

I can’t fault it! I was cod when I arrived and the young woman working behind the bar brought a heater to warm me. Excellent food, I had the pie, followed by crumble and custard. Well prepared wholesome food. Plenty of food,you won’t leave the fairy glen hungry!

Lovely setting and fabulous food - huge portions 😊 Never had so many pieces of scampi on one plate before! We’ll be back soon.

We were staying at a nearby Airbnb and frequented the pub on numerous occasions during the week for drinks outside after walking in the hills and on 2 occasions for evening meal. A great selection of Beers and Ciders are on offer and the menu is small but the portion sizes plentiful. We found the menu to be expanded by a great specials board next to the bar.

Lovely meal with our grandchildren. Walking distance from our accommodation. The food was excellent with generous portions. Good selection of wines at reasonable price. It was recommended by our host and we were not disappointed. Highly recommended.

Had a lovely walk from Tyddyn Du touring park took us around 25 mins with lovely views of the bay along the way. The gentleman serving gave us a warm welcome and we ordered our food and drinks. Cooked from scratch they arrived looking fantastic. We ordered the gammon and steak and kidney pudding and we weren’t disappointed. In fact our only regret is that we found it on our last day and we couldn’t sample more of the menu!

So… their Facebook page advertises opening hours for food … it’s clear and I have even taken a photo as it was updated in May this year… lunch served Mon-Fri 12 - 2… We travelled over from Angelsey with our 94 year old father … arriving at 1:30 …. To be told they had stopped serving … I showed him the Facebook Page and you would have thought they would apologise and ask what we wanted but oh no - not even an apology! Infact the male bar person was rude! SHAME ON YOU FAIRY GLEN….

Away for the weekend with the wife and out for a walk , decided to stop for the traditional afternoon aperitif, and stumbled over the Fairy Glen hotel , from the moment we walk in , the wife commented on how clean the bar and restaurant smelt and looked , and the staff were more than welcoming , Dee and his team are a credit to the pub and the food OMG , Napolise finest , we had the Lamb Kadai with the mushroom pilau rice ! Cannot recommend this enough ! Over all 5 star !!

Take a hearty appetite with you for the fabulous food. Come empty leave stuffed with fab u lous food. Welcoming staff in warm surroundings.

Eaten here a few times, staff are really friendly, menu is pretty standard but the food is always very nice. Main problem is lack of parking.

A gorgeous, cosy country pub. The staff are really friendly, welcoming & helpful. The food is lovely & the portions are massive! The pool table is a bonus too, it's in a separate area to the main bar, so if you're not a fan, it doesn't get in your way! Definitely worth a visit.

We love it here ❤️ the staff are wonderful. Homely feel and the Lamb Moussaka is incredible guys. Definitely worth a visit 😍

Such a shame. An end of an era. We’ve been coming here for almost 20years ordering the exact same dish, Chicken breast with creamy mushroom sauce. We come all the way from Caernarfon to have this dish. If there are 6 of us then 6 of us will have it, if there are 2 then 2 will … but the unspoken as a family is we cannot go to Fairy Glen and have anything other than this dish. It’s more than just a dish, it’s memories that become a reality whilst new ones are being made. It’s whenever we have family meals, boyfriends/girlfriends meeting the rest of the family… they get introduced to the family by way of this dish at Fairy Glen. It’s become a family tradition at this point. Today after a long day at work, my partner and I arranged to eat at Fairy Glen. It was appalling to see our food being cooked by a waitress, who had no clue what she was doing. It wasn’t made by a chef. She was being reassured by another waitress that you’re doing fine don’t worry! When our food came out they both had a look of worry on their faces to see if we’re going to realise the difference in quality. Well when we’ve been having the same dish for almost 20years, we can notice a difference in quality. The mushroom sauce looked as if it had just been poured out of a jar, the chicken had bits of fat still attached to it with no flavour whatsoever. Frozen chips and garden peas were the winners. When we left, my partner and I started experiencing severe tummy aches and thinking back to the food we’ve just ate made it worse. I understand that you must keep your labour costs to a low but having your waitress cook as well as serve is just unacceptable. The poor girl looked petrified cooking it and serving it. She was butterflying the chicken like it was her first time. She was shocked that we said everything was fine when she came over to ask how our food was (purely to avoid an unpleasant atmosphere). We’re upset by this as a family, I have no idea what I’ve eaten as my stomach is seriously upset. Poor decision making which has resulted in 20years of continuous business come to an end.

First time of visiting this pub but certainly not the last. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, it is a fabulous atmosphere but the food, the food is awesome, quality homemade and huge portion sizes. All in all its fabulous 10 out of 10. Thanks a million to the staff and the cook/chef you are awesome.

Very good food and nice staff. You can sit inside or out, pleasant surroundings. Used by locals and others drive quite a distance to eat there.

Incredible from start to finish. The food was INCREDIBLE with a great variety of things to choose from and such huge portions too! The service was great and the staff were really friendly! The entire place was really clean and a great atmosphere. Very much recommend this as a place to eat!

Dined here on a Friday night. It’s a really homely, cosy pub with a large seating area at the front. My lasagne was fresh and home made. Really tasty. My other half had the steak pie. Both excellent meals. Good service. Would highly recommend and will visit again.

Great location and very nice inside and out. Too wet to sit outside today but lovely area inside. Great welcome and drinks and menu at the table in no time. Lovely temperature of the lager. Had home made burger and she had moussaka . Both off the specials board. Best burger have ever had and so big with the chips peas salad onion rings coleslaw and peas that I struggled to finish it.beware of adding too many toppings if you want an empty plate. The moussaka was as good as any we had in Crete two weeks ago. Great tasty food in great portions. Will be back again now we have been hooked.

Visited for drinks and food. Good quality fresh food, good and quick service. We sat outside on a warm night, kids went to play in the nearby park

The pub is in a fabulous location but is not as "wow" as the surroundings. Food is ok and reasonably priced. Menu had nothing cold except a ploughmans which was only available until 5pm. Typical pub food supported by specials which included Mac and Cheese. Moussaka and a gourmet burger. No salads to be seen. Inside is a bit of a mixed environment, small "restaurant", small main bar area and a small pool room. Strange mix of decor ranging from Audrey Hepburn to an Everton shirt. Mainly sat outside as we have a dog. Its a bit of a mess, mishmash of tables and chairs and benches. No cover from the sun except a small area under the pergola which had some kind of cloth stuck under the clear plastic corrugated roof. Sitting there meant you had the joy of the ladies toilet window next to you which waz open. Service is ok. You order at the bar, they bring your food and you dont see them again unless you go back in to order something else. Just lacks attention to details generally - the two a-boards dont match and seem to have a bit of a jungle growing behind them. Building needs a repaint and the styling everywhere needs a rethink. Could be amazing with some investment and standards.

The Fairy Glen is located in a gorgeous location of the old Horseshoe Pass. There is a small car park out front and parking otherwise on the road nearby. The pub has a friendly relaxed environment with excellent friendly and helpful staff. The menu had a good gluten free selection with thai sweet chilli fishcakes and I went for the steak and ale pie. Portions were really decent and the food was fresh, tasty and served well as pictures show. For r the quality of the food prices were reasonable and both meals worth the money. Definitely worth a try

Great country pub, with very friendly staff, amazing food, massive portions, lovely specials list. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cosy pub. The food is absolutely lovely and generous portions too! Had the battered prawns for the fourth time and really enjoyed them, my partner had the steak and ale pie and it was crammed with chunks of meat. Very friendly lady behind the bar too...only gripe is that I wish they made their own chips.

We went for a meal tonight. The place was lovely. Portions were quite large. They have lots of room to improve their profit margins. We had prawn cocktails to start. Lovely! My husband had liver and bacon. I had cream and cheese broccoli bake. Both mains were delicious. The chips and peas were very well done. Sadly no room for pudding. A great place for a mid-priced well cooked meal

Stayed in the village and walked down to the Fairy Glen for a meal a few times during our stay. We were always met with a warm welcome and food was good. It did not disappoint, generous portions and food was tasty. Staff were great and friendly. Well worth a visit.

Called here and eaten quite a few times over the years. The menu and the prices are the main attraction but the location and it's view's are a very close second. Try it you won't be disappointed.

Massive portions Homemade food Homemade burger is the BEST or chicken & ham pie which is also home made . 10/10

I’ve never visited the Fairy Glen before, and with its seemingly ‘hidden’ aspect it’s no surprise, although, what is surprising for a local pub is, well, pretty much everything! From the second you walk in, the very homely atmosphere instantly makes your feel warm and...

Warm welcome, friendly service and extensive menu. Portions were huge and fairly priced. Pudding menu was equally well priced (and large portions) too. Came away feeling totally but pleasantly full-up and really enjoyed the outing!

Asked for soup did not have any sovwent for the garlic mushrooms. Cold garlic mushrooms on rice, hint of garlic, moussaka frozen lamb mince, no white sauce, tomato or courrgettes and cheese over cooked. No dressing on salad and just iceburg lettuce. Sister in law...

Beautiful little pub, nestled away in the hills outside Conwy. Proper pub, with good food and good beer. Two things that would improve on the food though. Please use proper chips, not the frozen ones. Also there's no need for salad with all the meals...

Been here twice whilst on visits to area. Both times food excellent staff friendly and better value than most pubs in area. Decent views towards the north west and if lucky sunsets

Nice food and very big portions Nice staff Plenty of out door seating. Nice walk of an evening if staying in Tyddyn Du Touring park

Great pub 4 adults and 3 children had dinner what can I say super food. Fab service thanks to the chef and the lovely lady that served us.

Great pub, wish they had a more modern and varied selection of beers. No IPA's at all, and only 1 paler ale on tap last time. Shame as I'd go more if the beer was better! Standard pub grub. Nice local walks.

Had a lovely meal on our family holiday, three courses each and all excellent. The staff were very friendly and the wine was lovely, will definitely make a return visit.

We visited this pub yesterday evening after walking from the nearby campsite. We were made very welcome. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. 10/10 for the meals. We also enjoyed the location, the cider and the ambience. It was busy but...

We stayed in a cottage up the road so visited this pub for tea twice in our 5 day stay. The pub was completely covid safe. The food was delicious, we sat outside for both visits. The staff where lovely.

My family and I always enjoy coming here! Visited today with my sister and a friend. Our food was lovely exactly what we ordered! The staff are polite and always helpful. Highly recommend :)

Tired old pub. For locals only. Food over priced and very average. Drinks expensive, too; £3.20 for 1 J2O ! Try elsewhere... had the pie and son the lasagne which were poor

We visited on the first Wednesday of August hoping to participate in the ‘Eat out help out’ scheme. Unfortunately the Fairy Glen is NOT participating. The food was tasty and generously portioned. The social distancing and COVID response is active and evident throughout. Would happily...

Wasn't on TA when we first went here but staying locally return time and time again and never disappointed, admittedly was very quiet in half term so no need to book or wait long.Staff were very helpful indeed and prices great, nice simple pub fare which we all polished off and child friendly too, has been refurbished over the years and now has a separate restaurant section but we preferred to stay in the bar and then go to play a game of pool in the adjacent bar area too. limited parking but roadside spaces are nearby and weather permitting the outside area is fine but like most pubs it is plagued by inconsiderate smokers polluting your air so not nice to be outside in every pub in the uk at the moment. I note one whine about dogs not being admitted, that is great and a positive, if you want to eat out with animals you have to expect this and as I have children who fear dogs I like it, go to other places. I steer clear of pubs that allow animals in.

Had an absolutely fantastic meal at this lovely friendly pub. Food was amazing and the portions huge! Lots of choice but we settled on the lamb moussaka and the lasagna. Both so delicious! Thoroughly recommend. Will most definitely back very soon

No clue what the negative reviews are based on truly!! Our first time here, lovely pub, friendliest most pleasant lady on the bar and another waitressing, neither could do enough for us! Food was a huge plateful and most enjoyable, tiny little restaurant area was trimmed up for Valentine’s Day and looked fab!!

hello i live in the house behind and sick of the stench that this place is making and the rat problem is getting on my nerves, they attack my dogs and once i found one nibbling on my toes. the food is trash and i had the poo poo's for days. i asked for some water and it had 6 hairs in the glass. all the staff keep begging for tips because they know im a nice guy and if i don't they grope my sister, they're animals!!!

Very expensive for very average food not very welcoming felt like that just wanted to serve us and us be gone

Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Visited Fairy Glen hotel for a meal whilst in the area on a family holiday. A very lovely and cosy pub that was perfect for a family of 5 to eat/drinks. A good variety of drinks and an excellent menu, with a great range of pub grub. The food was amazing, all came out fresh and the portions are massive, definitely good value for money. Staff were very friendly, checking we were satisfied with everything.

Stayed in area for a week with 5 fellow walkers (Over 60's) and visited Fairy Glen on two occasions. We chose to eat in the small restaurant room on both occasions because of the size of our party but the bar area was equally nice for 4 persons or less.We ate off the menu and specials board and no one was disappointed with their meals. The portions are massive,so proved difficult to fit one of their gorgeous desserts in, but we tried.Parked our vehicles outside the front of hotel but would imagine this might prove difficult in summer months. We booked on both visits and would recommend you do so as we were there in last week of October and it was steady.Throughout the week we did not find another restaurant to come close to this one both for quality and value for money.

Came here hoping to have a meal but was not allowed in the pub due to us having dogs. Looks a lovely place although the meal price’s were a little steep. Welcoming enough but too cold to eat food outside so we went elsewnere

The same group of four people who had bad meals in the Gladstone. This was incomparable, the food was superb, correctly cooked and great quality. The place was nice and the staff very friendly, I would recommend the FAIRY GLEN.

Visited one evening for food as we were camping just up the road. It was exactly what we needed after hiking up Snowdon earlier in the day. Perfect pub grub, huge portions. Really friendly staff. Good choice of different meals and drinks behind the bar.

Small and friendly local pub, great location and if you want proper home cook meals, this is the place. Gets very busy at weekends and peak holiday dates booking a table is recommended.

Popped in for lunch after a strenuous hike on Jubilee Way. Ordered the Gourmet Burger with cheese and a baked potato. Both were very tasty but really pricey. We also didn't feel very welcome - could it be because we were English? Pity because its such a great location.

No doubt the food is of a very good standard and portions are a very good size. Beer is kept well. Everything should say a 4 or 5 star review. I went in for a second time one evening and it was obvious the staff didn’t want to be open past 8/9pm. Made you feel uncomfortable and turned away a number of people in an abrupt manner. Sort this out and you will have a thriving pub for sure.

Absolutely superb food. Burger lovers, GET the Gourmet burger and you'll have completed your life! The staff are 10/10 for being helpful and polite, the pub is ultra clean, the 'normal' menu and the specials were all sampled by our group and each meal was beautiful. Well worth the money and the surrounding area is also beautifu. Great value for money too. Will definitely be back, highly recommended.

Lovely welcoming pub the staff were very happy to help and friendly. The food was very nice and lots of it! Wine and beers good to. Happy customers.

This is a very pretty little pub in a lovely setting but not very welcoming. We went in for a drink to check it out for dinner later but even though they were still serving food we were told in a less than friendly manner that they were closed. He then relented and told us we could drink outside. Needless to say we declined and went to dinner in the excellent Gladstone just down the road. We won’t risk the Fairy Glen again

Nothing special really. This place used to be great and reasonably priced, but now about £13 for a very salty lasagne?? Couldn’t finish my meal as I was worried it would give me heart failure. Disappointing specials board - burger & chips? again overpriced - could come to £20 after extras are added - stick to McDonald’s

Walked up from the beach to find it shut only opens till 13 45 and 1700 till 845 disappointed as the afternoon sandwiches where great, main meal good providing you like plenty peas and salad

My husband and I decided to visit the Fairy Glen for my birthday meal and absolutely loved it. We turned up earlier than our booking thinking we'd have a drink first. The lady behind the bar (I forget her name) was so welcoming and said it was perfectly fine to sit by the bar to eat as I have mobility issues. Our food was so delicious!! I had the half Duck with peas and chips and it was such a generous portion I had to take some of it home. My husband had a burger and chips and absolutely enjoyed it. We have decided to go there once a month for our date night. I absolutely recommend this place. It's gorgeous and and the staff are lovely. The lady that was in the kitchen was young and brilliant at her job, food was served very quickly.

Dropped by for a pint on way back from Conwy. Interesting pub, with a strange interior but clean, friendly staff, serving great beer! Pick nick tables out front to sit on whilst watching the world go by...slowly 👍

Evening meal on a Saturday night. Pub is pleasant enough and the staff were friendly and helpful. Reason for only giving three stars was the food - pub ‘grub’ has moved on so much in recent years and unfortunately what we had last night was, by current standards, decidedly ordinary. Portions were large, so large in fact that one dish (a curry) really needed a bigger plate to be served sensibly! We had chips that I’m pretty sure had been frozen, they were of a very poor quality, and - bizarrely - the curry was served with a large side portion of peas and a dollop of coleslaw on top on a bit of salad! Plating up food is I appreciate subjective, but this to me was just plain weird. So, nice pub for a pint and maybe a bar snack, but for ‘proper’ dining it’s way off the pace.

Always stop here with father in law for lunch. Fabulous food. Great portions. Served quickly. Really good menu choice. Parking out front. Good selection of drinks. Totally recommended. *****

We called at The Fairy Glen yesterday lunch time for a drink with friends and our small dog. It was quiet when we arrived and we ordered drinks and then another round; the pub had become busier by this time and we were astonished after spending almost £40 over the bar we were asked to leave because the dog had barked once!

Having walked past this eye catching gem, we decided to book a table for a Saturday evening.

We heard great things about this pub and decided to dine there for the first time. The staff are pleasant but the food was tasteless and over priced

We came here for a Mother’s Day meal after walking the dogs on the beach. The staff were incredibly helpful and the pub has a lovely cozy feel. Thankfully none of us had starters because the main was huge and beautifully cooked. One of us had half a duck in cherry sauce and it was perfectly cooked with whole cherries in the sauce. Two of us had the chicken korma which was very tasty and full of big pieces of chicken and mum had salmon which again was cooked to perfection and such a large portion of chips and veg that she couldn’t eat it all. The rhubarb crumble was beautiful and not over sweetened and the coffee and whiskey trifle was very nice. The place was so friendly that while I nipped out for a smoke I ended up having a great chat with one of the locals and the barman about music. Well work a visit and it’s on our list to visit again.

We booked a table for an early evening meal. The hotel was welcoming and comfortable and we had the choice of a table in the bar or in the restaurant.

Directed here by our hosts and a very good choice. Good service, good food, plentiful, and a friendly homey environment. Down to earth. Enjoyed the evening. Recommended!

We visited here tonight and had a fantastic meal. Freshly cooked delicious food. And huge portions. We had fish pie, roast chicken, (which was huge) and steak and kidney pudding. Will definitely be going back.

Popped back after a busy day out and long walk to Conwy with friends and family. All were well catered for adults, children and vegetarian. Portion sizes are large and food was hot and tasty and quite a large choice for a small establishment. Staff were very helpful, pleasant and relaxed. Children and adults finished off with a few games of pool. It was a lovely evening
