The Glyn Valley Hotel in Wrexham

Lovely find, booked last minute as a stop off to a weekend away. The man behind the bar/reception was very friendly and so were the locals. Lovely relaxed atmosphere Dog friendly Rooms are clean and spacious We had food there in the evening, we did read some bad reviews about the food being “fast heated up frozen food” we didn’t feel if was like this and we enjoyed Continental breakfast the next morning was included and was lovely. Would definitely recommend and would visit again if we were every in the area

We stayed here for a couple of nights with our children (11,14) in July 24 and our dog. The hotel is nice. We had booked a family room which was a double bed and bunk beds. The hotel has parking behind the hotel. You need to validate your parking with the hotel. There is also a charge of £15 for dogs staying. The hotel itself is in a very quiet location but you’re not far from the next ‘village’ Chirk which is about a 10 minute drive. Depending on your reasons for the visit, there are plenty of walks in the area or not far to drive to locations. We travelled to Zip world Betws-y-coed which was around 1hrs drive. The hotel was really clean, the bedroom and bathroom was spotless. The beds were quite comfortable and we had a good nights sleep as it was so quiet. There was a fan in the room if it became too hot, The food is lovely, we had our evening meals there for both nights. It is a simple menu which was perfect and everything was cooked fresh. It is also reasonably priced and the portions were quite big and filling. The drink prices were reasonable too. Breakfast was complimentary. It was a continental breakfast consisting of pastries, ham , cheese, fruit, toast and cereal. Hot drinks and juices were available too. The staff were very friendly and nice. All in all a great hotel, and we would stay again.

Whist working at this years Eisteddfod I managed to get a single room, it is a small room and as I’m a big bloke the staff apologised for the size but it was absolutely bang on Really well decorated, comfortable bed and a shower/bath Basic but still very nice continental breakfast I can’t really fault it and I would definitely stay again!

Over night stay to brake up a long journey . We were very surprised at the welcome, how clean. It was absolutely lovely stay , the food was lovely they catered for my wife's dietary needs no problem, really enjoyed it, and will definitely go back. Karen & Dave. Wild-limb

Booked a last minute room for the dog and myself. The bedroom was spacious, had a comfy bed as well as a seperate twin room off the main room, and it's own parking space right outside. The bar and restaurant are all dog friendly and do meals for dogs as well as humans. Poppy (who looked after us) was very friendly and is an asset to the company. My dog loved his stay here.

Booked based and a few pics and reviews.. walked in not knowing what to expect and was very surprised at how lovely it was inside. Lovely bar area and lovely staff. Room was really lovely and clean. Nice large comfy bed. Shower was nice and hot. I sat and had the gammon egg and chips and a few drinks and felt very comfortable there. Woke in and went down to breakfast which was more continental style. Staff member made me a pot of tea and was on hand incase I needed anything else… I was very happy with the food and had my fill before I headed off into Llangollen.. I would 100% return

It was my fourth stay at your hotel, I absolutely love it. So cosy, clean and friendly. Love that we can bring the dogs and they are made to feel so welcome too. Rooms are decorated lovely and are always so clean and comfortable. The staff who I have seen some of each time I have stayed can’t do enough for you and work so hard. I can’t recommend your hotel enough to anybody thinking of a a quaint, quiet place to stay with their dogs in a lovely part of wales 😊

Stopped overnight Lovely accommodation Recent refurb to an excellent standard Luxury rooms Great price, including continental breakfast Delicious evening meal and bar food. Friendly and considerate staff Will be visiting again

Very clean throughout, very recently decorated. Room good size and great views. Food well priced and top quality. Free strong WiFi. Good choices of ales. Staff helpful, friendly and welcoming. Would recommend.

The room was much, much smaller than expected and close to a room with a group of people, laughing and screaming, and quite drunk! Then there was the “Restaurant” experience. i ordered a burger because it came with a salad. However, there was 1 small leaf under the burger (soggy, tasteless and greasy burger). When I asked about the salad, the person who served me indicated the one leaf. It truly felt like a Monty Python movie. Not to talk about the waiting time: appointment to eat at 19.30, dinner arrived 20.40. Truly awful!

Lovely happy place. Clean and well looked after. Reception guy -owner! Top guy. Chatty. Attentive and very polite. Lovely food. Lovely area. Quiet and just what we needed after camping. The bed was super comfortable. Shower hot and super powerful. Tv sound. Views sound. Relaxed and quiet. Games and few good choices on the menu. I went for 2 starters and that was spot on. Room.3 was clean and we loved it. 10/10 be back again to see this little gem 💎 Thanks alot xx

Wedding Anniversary overnight stay. Great surroundings. Meet & greet superb. Food. Absolutely dreadful. Asked at 5 o'clock for the dinner menu and told the " Chef" was preparing it. Went tin to restaurant at 7. 5 of the 6 choices (see photo) for dinner was frozen food. No peppercorn sauce, cheesecake or syrup sponge. The deep fried sausages in the sausage and mash should only be used in hand to hand combat. The triangular preformed frozen fish and frozen chips left a lot to be desired. In all an anniversary meal we will always remember for the wrong reasons. It was a continental breakfast in the morning as I think they just couldn't be bothered to cook anything. If you stay in this quiet, relaxing , rural hotel. EAT OUT.

Staying at the hotel so had an evening meal. Nice staff. Agree the food choice was limited but the quality of ours was very good. Good fish and chips, and a very nice halloumi burger.

Great hotel, great staff. Only gripe is the food menu which is very limited and at £14 for basically a Birds Eye burger, not great value for money. Would stay again though as everything else was fine, will just grab a Just Eat next time ;)

Good hotel with good location. Friendly staff and the room was very good. Clean and everything was there what it needs. Very spacious room. The beer was very fine on tap and the food was good. The breakfast was plentiful. Overall recommendable

Lovely pub grub in generous portions, local real ales, friendly and efficient service. Comfortable dining and bar areas. We ate here 2 nights running and we're more than satisfied.

Great little place just a short drive from Llangollen, we stayed here en route to our final destination in north wales for a long weekend. Made to feel very welcome upon arrival, with one young lady showing us to our room which was a nice, traditional touch. There was no wine list, so couldn’t really see what the choices were before ordering, resulting in quite a steep price for a bottle for us to share (we did ask but we’re told they hadn’t been printed). The food in the hotel itself is relatively average and quite dry, so wouldn’t particularly rush back to dine there. We had booked a superior room, which is advertised as having a working coffee machine, but this wasn’t the case when we got to the room. A standard kettle and a few tea bags and coffee sachets isn’t quite what we were expecting. The room’s linen was wonderful and overall spectacularly clean. Breakfast as a whole was adequate and continental, which is a dreadful shame considering where the property is located. They could easily support local suppliers to produce an excellent cooked breakfast, even if it had come at an extra cost - I’d have happily paid it. To conclude, and even as a young person, I feel obliged to have to point out that the absence of ‘managerial/experienced oversight’ was definitely noticeable, which placed employees sometimes in difficult situations when being asked about drink and food choices. When questioned, the site manager seemed a little more interested in running the newly purchased/acquired pub; The Oak, just up the road from the hotel. I understand colleagues need time to use their initiative, but one colleague had stated it was her first day. Overall I have to say poor leadership. Despite this, the place is clean, comfortable and ideally situated if you’re looking for a one/two night stay.

This is my second visit within a couple weeks and it was very different. We were back in the area to finish the Ceiriog Valley trail. On our first visit the food was exceptional with lots of choice and variety, Karl the host, possible owner was very attentive and food knowledgeable. The second visit was much different. The menu was not the same, limited to say the least. We were waiting over well an hour for an overcooked burger and fish and chips. Dishes which shouldn’t have such a lead time. My friend was going to order the balti, but the table next to us were complaining how dry it was. Can’t understand the difference in quality in such a short period of time. On asking the young front of house member of staff, they quietly told me they had a different chef that night. This makes sense, but the standard was definitely not the same and I won’t be returning. We didn’t stay for dessert for obvious reasons, the ones the previous week had been excellent. Young waiting staff were well trained although it was apparent some were new.

Sehr nette Unterkunft in einem hübschen Dorf. Ausgesprochen freundliches Personal. Geräumige saubere Zimmer, sehr gutes Essen, alles bestens. Ideale Lage um Llangollen, Chirk und Chester zu besuchen.

My main review of this hotel was in regards to the excellent service received from the employees n arrival and during our evening meal. Unfortunately the hotel failed in the breakfast provision. I, expecting a full English was very disappointed to be greeted with a continental style breakfast. Anyone visiting must therefore also be prepared not to have bacon, sausage etc.

I visited as I was staying at the valley in my campervan with my dog. The gentlemen behind the bar who was also serving food was lovely from start to finish. It’s sometimes daunting to go places by yourself but he treated us lovely and made us feel very welcome. The food and drink was also lovely especially the scotch egg! We will definitely return. Mabel also says thank you.

Stopped here for Sunday Dinner after a long walk with friends. The food was excellent, plenty of cauliflower cheese, veg and meat all cooked really well. Nice thick gravy too. The waitresses were really lovely; attentive but not over the top. We'll definitely be going...

First time here but a local person said that she’d had bad experience in the past. I noticed there was a new chef and the local hadn’t been since. The children meal was enjoyed by my daughter and I had belly pork which I enjoyed....

Super restaurant that never fails to deliver. Excellent, chef-prepared food with such a friendly service from all the team. Tonight my mum was made to feel very special on her birthday meal out. Highly recommended.

We were greeted by friendly staff, and enjoyed our stay. Theon, the bar Manager was very helpful, knew her job and gave brilliant customer service. Sunday roast was excellent, just like home. Nice beer too! Our breakfasts were not fried, but what we saw looked...

All the food looked beautifully presented and tasted superb! Lovely home cooked thick chips, and the best battered cod I've eaten outside a fish and chip shop! A full Welsh breakfast is also highly recommended 👌🏼

We were lucky to find this lovely place open during the afternoon for a hot drink and refreshments, afterall you are in Wales and most places get closed during the day!!! The young hostess Liv could not do enough for us, even going above &...

The Food in the Hotel was very good and not to expensive the staff were very attentive and professional

We had Sunday lunch and was pleased with the portions size, even the children’s size would have done me, Friendly staff and nice room to eat in Good value Will be back again

£10 per main meal is hard to beat- quality, tasty food, perfect quantity & friendly service. We will be returning. ( Mum is still going on about how lovely her prawn cocktail was!)

Just stayed one night on a family reunion. Staff couldn't have been friendlier. Special mention to the young red-headed girl who served us in the bar(didn't get her name). She was very busy but remained calm, smiling & attentive. Rooms were fine but the staff...

Stopped by for tea and a few drinks in the beer garden at the rear of the hotel. Service was great, quick and friendly. The facilities were newly refurbished, clean and absolutely lovely. Well done to the new management and friendly staff.

Think we must have gone on chefs night off, all 4 of our meals were pretty poor, basic in the extreme.

I was told that this hotel was under new management and had had a full transformation. I went with my 12 yr old son & 8 yr old daughter. We were met with such a friendly and bubbly, happy welcome that we knew this would...

Cannot recommend this hotel enough. It’s recently under gone a complete refurbishment. The whole hotel is stunning. In the rear there is a garden with a stream running through it. Inside it’s the perfect mix of new and old features. The village and surrounding area...

We recently stayed here for one night for a family break. I read a lot of negative reviews on trip advisor so I was a little worried but after reading on their Facebook page that new management had taken over we decided to give them...

Completely different atmosphere, all been refurbished to a high standard (beer garden is amazing, seating both in the sunshine or shade) wonderful carvery at a great price and staff really friendly. Will definitely be back! Well done to all.

Stayed in this village for a few nights at nearby lodgings. I had heard of the poor reputation of the previous owners, but now being under new management decided to give it a try for dinner one evening. The staff are very friendly and helpful,...

A horribly run down place that staff and owners clearly take no pride in. We called to see if they were serving lunch and they said yes until 2.30, we arrived at 13.50 and they said the kitchen was closed? I questioned it and was...

Basic but clean, quiet and friendly. Bar wasn’t open due to Covid but if you want somewhere to stay as as basic base then this is fine. Wouldn’t recommend more than overnight though. No local food amenities but a basic spar next door. Nice breakfast...

Booked in here for 3 nights. As we drove up to the hotel we were a little concerned by the For Sale signs on the building. The staff were exceptionally friendly and all the food we had was well cooked and tasty. However, in addition...

Stopped here for a bite to eat unfortunately they don’t serve food at lunchtime.we just had two coffees that were lukewarm and very weak and overpriced.the men’s toilets were dirty with only a dirty towel to dry your hands. Glad they didn’t serve food after...

A pub with rooms, rather than a hotel, and I chose a two day stay here, based on reviews. We had room 11. No biscuits provided with the tea making gear, no milk, it could apparently be obtained at reception (3 floors down) I can...

Stopped near by and decided to pop in for a meal on our last night. The staff were lovely and friendly lovely place, food was outstanding, and can't wait to come back next year

The staff are fantastic.the owner well.stopped here with my local rambers for food and drinks food stopped at 2pm apart from sweets which are over priced. The beers are ill kept i got a pint of magic it was flat and well from here the name is the only thing magic about it. The whole place is shabby and ill kept. I have worked in the catering industry for 30 yrs or more so i should know what im talking about. Oh the landlord said thats how the beer should be flat and tasting like the pipes have never been cleaned

Friendly people, great location, good food and good beer.. A great base to enjoy the delights of this superb valley in Wales

Magníficas vistas y fácil acceso a Llangollen. Muy limpio y la habitación 1 fue una tamaño ideal para dos adultos y un nieto de 6 años. El baño completo era razonable tamaño, a diferencia de algunos hemos estado en donde no hay suficiente espacio para el codo para secarte después de una ducha, y un montón de toallas suaves. Justo al otro lado de una calle tranquila hay un parque infantil para los más pequeños y otra separada para los niños mayores, ambos con buen equipo.Al llegar nos saludaron por dos chicas muy servicial y nos llevaron a nuestra habitación. Después nos reunimos con el dueño, que es un auténtico caballero. El desayuno era muy agradable, tanto en las mañanas, con algo para todos en suite. Tuvimos una cena impecable cada noche en el hotel, bien preparado, bien presentada y caliente. Después nos reunimos con el dueño y él es un auténtico caballero. La desventaja es que el comedor está cerca del bar y nuestro hijo de 6 años podría oír el idioma bastante claramente colorido de los lugareños que estoy seguro de que no me f y Jeff delante de sus jóvenes. También la habitación 1 es directamente sobre la zona de comedor, un edificio antiguo hay tablas entre cada planta y obviamente sin aislamiento, cada sonido individual, así que puede ser oído desde la bebedores mientras intentaba dormir, pero creo que el aislamiento acústico es parte del plan para mejorar aunque sea en detrimento de la personalidad por perder el techo de vigas a la vista. Me imagino que las habitaciones en la segunda planta hay una zona mucho más tranquila. Dicho esto yo recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar y volveré en el futuro no muy lejano

Fresh home cooked food prepared perfectly 10 in our party all ordered different dishes All arrived together Great service

Had a nice meal here. Good prices and an easy menu to read. Nice to see locally sourced fish. Very polite and friendly staff. Will go again.

Decidimos comer aquí de nuevo después de visitar el año pasado. El personal del bar/camarera era tan servicial como el año pasado. Nada era demasiado problema. La trucha fresca ceiriog era absolutamente delicioso, y sin duda lo recomiendo. Comimos aquí durante la semana, así que era muy tranquila, pero el servicio y la comida era estupenda.

Este es un prometedor lugar buscando desde fuera, pero tan pronto como entra se da cuenta que está luchando. Marcus el propietario de oficios en el hecho de que él es suizo, y para ser sincero, la comida suiza basada que tuve fue bien. Sin embargo mi lubina de mi esposa estaba un poco aburrida con un auce' que parecía consistir enteramente de conservas de tomate.El lugar parece bastante deteriorada, con alfombras en mal estado y la decoración, pero el personal era acogedor y servicial. Si es domingo o lunes no tienes mucho donde elegir, pero si es cualquier otro día yo diría que 'El Roble' más arriba de la calle alta es una mejor opción.

Visitamos este pub para cenar (nos alojamos en una casa rural justo arriba de la carretera). Menú - no demasiado precioso muchas opciones (para que sepas que no todos los hechos/congelado) y un montón de platos de pescado local. El servicio era muy bueno - La camarera muy servicial. La comida era estupenda, realmente disfrutamos de la comida.

He visitado el Glyn Valley Hotel varias veces, normalmente con mi madre, y siempre tienen una excelente comida. Ayer fuimos con mis hijas de 11 y 12 años. Mi madre tenía curry, mis hijas la Penne pasta penne carbonara, y tuve el hongo carne stroganoff Pancake. Todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que la comida era excelente. Mi mi hija de 12 años comentó después que ella volvería a comer esa comida cada día si podían porque era tan deliciosa. En el pasado he disfrutado las tortillas y el Labrador's. Soy vegetariano y es agradable tener una buena selección de comidas. También es un buen lugar para entrar sólo para café y tarta. Es un ambiente muy agradable, y me gusta el hecho de que el dueño, Markus, ha mantenido las características tradicionales originales del hotel, incluyendo las chimeneas abiertas.

Nos hemos mudado recientemente a Glyn Ceiriog y el Glyn Valley está a una corta distancia de la carretera. Mi hermano vino a ver que nos lo llevamos a cenar allí. Ya que está fuera de temporada la joven camarera era por su propia cuenta pero conseguimos llegar a 3 bien cocinada, deliciosas comidas dentro de un plazo razonable. Su actitud fue muy soleado y servicial. Bien hecho! Usted merece un ascenso!

Nos alojamos en una cabaña en Glyn Ceriog unos días a visitar el pub en un par de ocasiones. todo el mundo nos pareció muy amable y nos hicieron más que bienvenido con nuestro perro y nos dejaron dentro de la cena. La comida era muy buena, con un montón de variedad en el menú, y de £40.00 por un plato principal y dulce para nosotros dos, nos pareció una buena relación calidad-precio.

Stayed two nights with mates. Rustic inn ran by very friendly Swiss owner, Marcus, who incidentally, is a blinking good cook. Steak was delicious as was the black pudding starter (had that one two nights in a row). Bar staff very friendly. My single room failed the swinging cat test, but was newly decorated and very clean indeed. Tea provided and small telly, for £45per night. Real ales good too. We will stay again when we revisit.

The food was ok edible for a lunch snack although over priced.The hotel looks like its in need of some TLC. The surroundings are dull and out dated.Toilets could be smelt from the restaurant area...not good

As it is so difficult to find a restaurant in The Ceiriog Valley, we had no option but to visit. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The menu was broad, with Swiss specialities, good prompt helpful service and good portions. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the food and price was good. Maybe the room and bar is in need of decoration and lacks atmosphere being so old fashioned. However, some people may describe it as quaint. Maybe I wouldn't recommend this establishment but would describe it as adequate.
