Pont Y Pair Inn in Conwy

We have been coming to Betws for years and not tried this place !!! Friendly staff, good beer, nice food and welcoming atmosphere. And dog friendly 🐾😉. Will definitely be back 😉

Pont-y-pair inn is so warm and welcoming! Would 100% recommend stopping in! Food was incredible and extremely well priced! We brought the dog, everyone made a fuss of him! Cannot recommend enough!

We had good food here on Saturday which was served quickly. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We watched the rugby and stayed for the band. Fantastic atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

10/10 pub. Live music, great local vibe!

Splendid, bar staff exquisite, fast service, great food, fantastic pub.

Absolutely amazing pub , had a lovely night , great atmosphere ; a smashing local band , amazing staff , very warm and welcoming

Booked 2 rooms through bookings.com. On arrival neither room had heating. This was during winter. Staff could not fix and had to book another hotel. They have refused to refund the money after agreeing on the day. DO NOT BOOK THIS ACCOMMODATION. OWNERS ARE DISHONEST AND RIPPED US OFF. THEY HAVE DONE IT TO OTHERS. Read attached review as well.

Busy Wednesday in half term -luckily had booked ahead or else may have struggled as a cosy , smaller pub. Wonderful table . Very warm welcome by the staff who were so friendly . Warm fire and a really lovely atmosphere . Food came piping hot , well portioned and tasty . Good pub food , fresh and traditional . We did note last orders for food 7.30 ( tonight 19.2.25) not sure if every day but do check in case disappointed.

I visited here with my partner, 2 children and our puppy. We only stayed for 1 night after a long walk, but definitely should have stayed longer. The staff were very friendly & professional. The food was delicious. The kids had pizza and chicken dippers and we had the chicken platter. I took advantage of the 2-4-1 cocktails which were made to perfection! We played pool and darts for a few hours before we called it a night. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting there area!

Spent a night here over the Valentine's weekend. Beautiful location and very well kept and friendly pub/hotel. The rooms were immaculate and the food was tasty and very well presented. The staff and management could not do enough for you. Highly recommend

Nice pub we went to while visiting betsy co ed really nice food and friendly aswell

The hotel is very good value and the staff were all exceptionally nice and friendly. The room was lovely with a very comfortable bed and lovely wooden floor. Highly recommend and we will stay there again

Dogs 🐕 are allowed in the pub that's okay, but when they let the dogs sit on the seat not good, and to much vaping.

The Owners and staff are lovely people. Very Welcoming. After our walk, we’ll be sure to come back and say hello 👋🏼 Caino Rory

Called in for a drink vert friendly place

We went to the pub because it is dog-friendly 🐕, actually just for coffee, but it was really tasty 🤤 I recommend it, very nice service, nice atmosphere, still festive. There is a billiard table inside, a beer garden - a nice atmospheric place. And a lot of people, so the atmosphere is great 🤩

Walked in the rain to this place, which is listed as being open until 11pm, and of course, it was closed at 3pm.

Reserved table, food average and quite expensive. Service slow. Needed serviettes and had to go and find them ourselves. Ordered Chicken grill and it came with a tiny chicken fillet with cheese. 3 bbq wings and chips, not hot. Only afterwards did I double check the menu and realise it was missing southern fried strips. £15.50 😬 Triple stack burger and fries. Again overpriced at £14 ...... burgers dry as overcooked, tiny bit of salad. Wouldn't recommend

Very friendly staff, very accommodating, great service and food. Dog friendly which was a must for us, plenty other dogs in which added to the friendly atmosphere, would visit again without a doubt.

We have stay here this week food has been 10/10 rooms are clean staff are friendly 100% would recommend

The pub had a lovely warm atmosphere and was super welcoming, we had popped in for a couple of drinks and ended staying for dinner. The roast dinners were well priced and delicious with generous portions. The cauliflower cheese was excellent! We’ll deffo be back when we’re next in Betws-Y-Coed!

Had great food and dessert with happy staff great service and a lovely folk band who play ever other Sunday was great 👍 thank you

Had a great night here , food was excellent and can recommend the mixed grill .The bar staff , Bobby and Simon were really friendly and chatty and made us the best cocktails ever , Pink French Martini’s are 👌and powerful . Will be visiting again on our next trip to Betws-y-coed .

Great place, service was excellent and staff very friendly.

Food was excellent , service was excellent , bar staff Bobby and Simon were brilliant made us the best cocktails ever ( Pink French Martini’s / Pornstar Martini’s ) very friendly and chatty , will be going back very soon Maria & Kev Thanks so much From the ex hacienda bar staff Manchester

What a lovely place, fantastic staff and food. Would definitely recommend mixed grill so tasty.

Sunday lunch was absolutely beautiful. Such a friendly place. We had our dog with us. Even he had the roast. 🤗. I would highly recommend it.

I would like to start off by saying when we entered the bar we were greeted by a small staff member who seemed friendly at first. However when me and my friend were at the bar waiting for a bartender the same waiter came out of nowhere and started to sing oasis really obnoxiously we didn’t know if we should take him serious but it made use feel uneasy to be there. We then went back to are table which was in a freezing dark room where are friend who had been waiting there told us that the waiter had made him feel awkward and massively disturbed to the point where he didn’t want to eat the anymore ! He told us that the waiter offered to wash his hands for him and licked his hands in front of him I really can’t fathom how he thinks this is okay. NOBODY should deserve to be served in this manor things need to CHANGE ! 😡 definitely not a child friendly pub 🤦‍♂️

Disappointing Sunday Roast, frozen mixed veg, frozen roast potatoes . My chicken was good but the beef was poor my husband and 2 people on the next table left this or fed it to one of the many dogs in the restaurant, and the 'extra' cauliflower cheese was very sad - end of a frozen bag possibly , not crisped under the grill and all loose bits and pieces.

The Sunday roast is nothing like advertised. We thought we’d researched well for a location for a good Sunday roast. How disappointed were we. The food came out very quickly and was literally looked & tasted like microwaved rubbish. The roasts were like out of a bag and the veg was like the mixed frozen veg bag from supermarket. The cauliflower cheese was watery and very bland. The staff were friendly but I would not recommend this place for food. The dining room also felt soul less. There are other better eating places within this location.

Classic tasty pub food. I recommend the sausage and mash. Good whiskeys on the bar. Pool table (for £1). Friendly staff and nice people. Rooms were comfortable, warm and clean, and showers were hot with excellent water pressure.

Was drawn in by the menu and it looked really busy, so cajoled our daughter in to eating in this establish. I ordered the "steak and ale" pie. It was effectively just a reheated Holland's pie with a handful of frozen chips. My husband ordered the cheese and bacon burger. It was abysmal. In his words it was "the worst burger he'd ever had" the burger was tiny and looked burnt. I waited a while at the bar, too. The cutlery was grubby and my husband had to sift through the knives and forks to find 3 clean ones. We left our food after a couple of bites. Atmosphere was okay but avoid the food.

After reading the reviews of this beautiful looking pub, we booked a table for our first night stay in Betws-y-Coed. Place looked beautiful from the outside, friendly staff, but our table for 2 was not ready, the food was very disappointing, even the chips did not taste right. After such high expectations, it was a huge disappointment.

Popped in for a pint, which was decent. Ordered a 6oz rump steak as there were no sirloin steaks on offer. The steak was cooked great and the quality was good. Just a shame that there aren't more steaks on offer and steaks that are larger as 6oz is a tad on the small size. Prices looked to be really good. Would recommend

Probably the worst Sunday roast I've ever had. Forgot to serve our cauliflower cheese and completely forgot to serve one of our party and food at all.

Food was excellent, cocktails 2 for £10 or 4 bottle beers £12. The food was fabulous. Staff made it for a lovely evening 😊

Lovely relaxed local pub atmosphere. The food is amazing and as for the dessert, just beautiful 😍

Great choice of ales and lovely food, friendly helpful staff, nice atmosphere pub would definitely recommend 👌

Booked a table but on arrival they admitted we had booked but there was no table available and they could not explain why. Totally hopeless .

Service was great, quirky and welcoming atmosphere, but I am so sorry the food was absolutely terrible!!! Soggy floppy sausage...frozen potatoes that were dry and hard, and something that barely resembled cauliflower cheese!! Just yuck

Booked table for 7. Turned up and they said we have to sit outside. At 7pm, in October. They seemed annoyed that we were "another table WE didn't know about" despite accepting our booking. The book looked basic from the menu. We had to queue at the bar to find this all out, so we took our drink and left without bothering for food. Shut a shame

A good old fashioned pub grub.Service was good and dog friendly.

I’ll start with the positive . Great location . The en-suite was not fit for human habitation please see photos, pictures paint a thousand words. We are due a full refund which we still haven’t received and the manager doesn’t return my calls . Please don’t stay here if you value your health . The hotel is a catfish and nothing like the photos advertising it. The pictures are of our en-suite men’s bar toilets and reception area.

Best food in a box I've ever had.

Honestly I've always had a good experience here, but the shorter bartender was a major problem.. he complained about his working hours constantly, incredibly sarcastic to me and other customers, even when I intentionally was taking it on the chin since like all of us, maybe he's having a bad day or something, he just gradually, openly got worse, till the point where I couldn't pretend to see this as some sort of "oh god this job sucks, I can't wait to finish" kind of joke anymore, it genuinely took me by surprise till the point that I felt conflicted to even fake smile at his remarks. I really debated leaving a review to avoid coming off as sort of Karen type lol, but my mates are truly shocked by how he was.. this behaviour is not acceptable and needs acknowledging. The guy openly complained and embarassed me about my order being complex besides me explaining it to him clearly (and nicely too! It was such a small drinks order), and then intentionally stares long and hard back at me while shaking his head multiple times throughout the whole interaction of this order, scoffing, smirking, and then finishing with an obnoxious, loud sigh muttering the time he finishes his shift, genuinely unbelievable. I get you might have had a long day perhaps, but please don't take this out on everyone else. I've worked the exact same job as you in the past and yes I'm empathetic as some days it can purely seem like a slow pay day, but there's no excuse to behave that outwardly negative. Maybe it was some weird attempt at banter, but it really didn't come off as that to myself or anyone else.. big lack of self awareness if you think that is an okay way to behave too. It sucks but I'm glad to say I've never experienced this bad of an experience with being served even close to similar as here, it's an absolute shame too since the other bartender was a really sociable guy, super friendly! And usually a great pub, but to this person.. please learn some proper people skills or a little restraint, someone in the beer garden overheard me when asking my friend for a second opinion, and this person also joined in with his own negative experience. We were so friendly to you, like come on man? Lol

Friendly place with good advice on local area.

Booked today for a small university leaving party We ordered starters and mains the food was out of this world I don’t have a bad word to say I have eaten out a lot in betws (localish) I this now my favourite place we had a server called Tom he was attentive knowledgeable and funny to the point I tried to recruit home for the company I work for hahah we all had a real enjoyable time thanks Kelly pritchard.

A pretty disappointing stay for one night. Two of us booked in for a one night stay and paid around £90. We didn’t expect a lot for the money and knew that we’d be staying in accommodation above a pub so expected some noise and basic rooms. On arrival we we found a nicely decorated room with enough space for what we needed. We weren’t there long though before realising the poor cleaning that had or hadn’t been carried out. First of all the mini fridge had a half finished bottle of Rose inside from the previous guest, the windows have many decent size cobwebs on the inside which have clearly been there for a long time, but worst of all the shower has a build up of grime across all seals and edges, I say grime because they easily wiped off while in the shower. Pretty disgusting if I’m honest. The room was very dusty to the point that we could write on the lamps, mini fridge and even the floor. We decided to have some food and ordered the Sunday lunch. There was a decent amount of food but found the meat to be very dry and had to ask for more gravy, this was no problem and they helped us with this quickly. Not worth £16.99 though I’m sorry. The WiFi also doesn’t work in the bedroom but there is EE signal so we used our hotspot for the Netflix. Another point is that the sash windows couldn’t be kept open, they can be lifted but fall straight back down which wasn’t ideal in a warm room. On the plus side the hotel was in a decent location, and considering the room was above a pub it was completely silent at night. The shower was powerful and there was a selection of toiletries included. I felt for the lady working the restaurant as I feel she was being let down by her staff. She was apologetic about the issues but at the same time offered no discounts or free drink or desert to compensate for the inconveniences which would have been welcomed. When we checked out nobody could be found in the building so we didn’t have a chance to discuss the cleanliness which we only came to notice at night once we spent enough time in the room.

Waited 45 mins for an insipid looking pie that resembled a frozen pie from a cheap supermarket, frozen chips and peas. The soup I ordered was advertised as sold with warm sourdough bread but actually came with cheap sliced bread. Steak meal that my husband had wasn't much better. The couple who came in 10 mins after us were told there was a 30 min wait for food but got served their burgers before our food arrived. Will definitely not eat here again. Oh and the toilet was filthy, water ? on floor and an overflowing bin.

Fantastic little pub bringing life to a beautiful remote part of the world. Me and my mates travelled from Norwich and London to enjoy Snowdon, and this pub made it even more enjoyable. Bar staff were legends and the drinks were good value. Would recommend 🍻

More of a pub with rooms than a hotel/inn. The bar downstairs was open until 2:40am, loud music and rowdy clientele keeping us awake well beyond what is reasonable to expect. “Double” bed was two singles pushed together, cobwebs in the corners and nowhere for clothes in the room, so you live out of a suitcase. No parking should have been better advertised, there is parking on the roads nearby or in a pay to play car park over the bridge. Great location but feel like we massively overpaid for what it is.

Best chippy I had bruv, Curry Sauce thick, and chips perfected and fish slaps. On top of that some leng ice cream

Didn't stay long..just had a quick half but the staff were friendly and the cask local Welsh ale was great 😃

Fabulous food. Fabulous atmosphere. Fabulous service. We ate here for 2 nights running, choosing form the special dinner menu on night 1 and then the main menu on night 2. The Linguine with Chicken was tasty and a generous sized portion. Thank you for providing a fabulous experience.

Had Lunch and a pint for less than £10 per person. They checked with the chef for gluten free options for us and the food was served in a timely manner. Good food. Allowed dogs, an absolute gem of a find and well worth a visit

Stopped here for lunch today, great pub grub and local ales at good prices. Good friendly service from the young man behind the bar.

Didn't eat there so cannot rate the food, but the bar staff and the owners were great. Chatty, welcoming and fun. This has to be the pub with the best atmosphere in Betws. Dog friendly, great drink offers and a huge selection. The outdoor section is great also. We went there three times and we were only in Betws for two nights!!!

We visited for lunch 11 8 24. Mains came with no problem and were delicious. However, we ordered 2 biscoff sundaes which hadnt arrived after 50 mins. We had to ask for a refund as car park time was nearly out. the lad behind the bar was doing the work of at least 3 staff - he was on his own takibg orders, serving at the bar - he had to leave the bar unmanned while he made 3 take out coffees and also had to sort out draught cola which wasnt working. He was doing a great job but it wasnt fair that he was on his own - come on management and get staffing sorted!!! Our desserts still hadnt arrived after 50 mins so it seems there were no kitchen staff either. The pub is really lovely and mains were fab - just lack of staff let the pub down. U should not expect 1 guy to run the whole bar on his own. And,as i say, there didnt seem to be any waiting on staff or kitchen staff either. It was lunchtime 1-2 pm???

Stop at the inn for 3 nights, staff and owners are friendly and attentive and location in perfect , but all place is dirty and dated. Missing bulb in the lamp, dirty bathroom, dirty coffee mugs, broken toilet handle, windows don’t really close and life music every night in the pub garden. After all day of hiking we couldn’t even have a peaceful sleep.

Reserved a table for out anniversary but when we got there a table hadn't been reserved (a the sign had been moved). It was very busy and didn't seem enough staff to well. Staff were basic polite, and food was ok. I think we may have gotten it at a bad time because during the day for drinks (when we went to reserve a table) tje young lad behind the bar was friendly and professional. Unfortunately, he wasn't there during evening service.

Good food not too pricey. Vibey atmosphere

The restaurant deserves five stars and the hotel section three stars. Hence a total of 4 stars. The food was tasty and the service very nice. The hotel was simply very dirty.

Standard pub food, decent beer, classical pub if you're looking for live music.

This place is a gem! We stayed for a few days and had a great time. Very comfortable rooms, delicious breakfast and super friendly staff!

Quieter and less tourist-ridden than most of Betws y Coed

Lovely pub (with B&B) great pint of Purple Moose, probably the best pub in the locality.

Local pub with outdoor seating. Close to the bridge and village center. The selection of beers is quite limited, but you can find something you like; pub food is not above or below average.

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch here yesterday (14th July 2024) Well worth a visit, very pleasant and helpful owners. Wishing them great success for the future.

Great service and food, very good value 👍👍

Lovely pub great spot, terrible rude bar staff woman. Was gona order lunch d cided not too as the woman was so rude, sighing and rolling eyes etc. spoke to another couple also decided against ordering too as they had same experience. This pub needs to get rid of this woman it's costing them money and there reputation

Arrived during the England game so it was naturally very busy everywhere. I was abit concerned that there was no onsite parking, however did manage to get into the last space in the car park opposite for £2 overnight rate 6pm til 8am. (Moved the car the following morning to a free street space) We were welcomed by the new owners Mike and Jennie who apologised for the busy atmosphere, however we loved it and praised them for being so full. We were shown to Room 5. Had a double bed and a single bed. Beautiful cozy bedding. The shower was incredible, loved it. We were seated nice and quick for dinner, had the mixed grill, the steak was cooked to perfection 👌 Full English breakfast in the morning was lovely before heading out for a walk. The Sunday roast was absolutely spot on, plenty of meat and the beef was cooked well. We found our hosts to be very attentive during our 2 night stay , very friendly and happy to chat whenever we went into the bar. It's an old building, it does have its creeks and heavy doors so there is some noise but it's in a perfect location especially if you're visiting zip world, reasonably priced across the board and well worth a return visit. We will definitely be back, thank you for a lovely relaxed stay

A lot of money for what you get, stayed for 3 nights as a birthday and wedding anniversary treat, Was shown our room, no mention of breakfast, or going in and out while pub was closed, Had to keep asking tea, coffee sugar as it was not replenished, was on top floor had to go get milk every time we wanted tea, Bedroom was ok a bit dusty, nothing special, they need bigger towels, A lot of money for what you got, Bar staff ok but need to ask who next instead of just serving who ever,

Came here quite a few times over the years and never had any issues but visited the area for business and nipped in for a quick lunch and what can I say it was nothing but disgusting and the new management weren’t much better either!

Great selection of food, pub classics too. I had the steak and my partner had veggie sausage and mash and both were wonderful. Staff were really friendly, dogs welcome and dog treats on the bar. Loved the atmosphere too.

Good price. Too small, no lift clean but not very clean.

Very welcoming pub, good atmosphere.

My wife and I called in at the Pont-y-Pair Inn for lunch one day last week during our first visit to the village. It was surprisingly quiet, very nice surroundings, but probably hadn’t been open long. We opted for a main course each from the lunchtime menu – the cheeseburger and scampi – with a welcome additional drink each for £1. The food came quickly and was very tasty, so overall very good value. The lady who served us was friendly and efficient so we enjoyed out visit to the Pont-y-Pair!

Good friendly staff. Good quality food and drink at reasonable prices. Will return.

Great for a drink, well kept ales and some local beers available in bottles. Great service in recommending the beers to try😁

Very friendly Stuff, new Manager, good Pool table

Lovely pub well situated very clean and friendly however no breakfasts available all toiletries except soap or handwash and no milk for refreshments didn't sample the food I dined out but lovely beer garden

Gorgeous pub, friendly staff and phenomenal grub and very reasonably priced - great selection of food and drinks too, can’t recommend enough!

We booked in for a nice Sunday roast. Unfortunately the roasts hadn't been delivered. We decided to stay anyway but my mushroom pudding was tough at the bottom,my husband's pasta very ordinary but my son enjoyed his chicken platter. The staff are very welcoming but we were so disappointed about the lack of roast dinners after a long walk

New managers are amazing, you can tell they have experience in the industry. So friendly and curtious. Mike and Jenni I wish you all the best.

Landlord seemed like a top bloke. A warm welcome! Nice beer, food was good 👍

V good service at the bar,good selection of drinks.

Great place for a pint. A few colourful characters Friendly service Beer reasonably priced

What has happened to the ponty pair? After all the money spent on refurbishment it is well on its way to being a run down pub as it was before, people with feet on seats which should have been addressed by the bar person but totally ignored,Better management would be an asset to the pub,we were hoping to book 2 weeks accommodation in August but we will now look elsewhere

Typical pub atmosphere. Fresh drinks, possibility to sit inside and outside with nice views, cheap prices

Great service, good choice of beers, live music when we visited from Walian Banshee who were excellent! Well worth a visit..

Me and my boyfriend stayed here after climbing snowdon and I love this place lovely atmosphere lovely people just over all lovely place, booking for another visit this year can’t wait!!!

Fabulous food, great staff, reasonable prices and the beer was great!

Booked a table as there was a group of 10. Staff were very attentive. Service was very good. Food was excellent. Clean plates all round. Will be back again next time we're in North Wales.

The place stank of dogs, barmen didn't seem to know what they were doing, toilets were a mess.
