Tyn-y-Coed Inn in Conwy

Went in hoping for food and coffees after a long walk. The car park was nothing short of irritating! Went inside and went to order food only to be told that there would be nothing available until after 5pm. Coffees weren’t special. Not even a cake to be had. Left disappointed and will not be returning.

I had heard that Ty'n y coed Hotel had undergone a full refurbishment and that the food was excellent. We were certainly not disappointed. A lovely warm welcome from Samantha was followed by a similar service from the waitress. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. I would certainly recommend a visit. Llawer o ddiolch.

Nice food had Sunday lunch then went back a few days later for steak & burgers. Friendly staff. Pub area was very accommodating to walkers and dogs

Stayed at The Rocks a short walk from the pub and had dinner here on four evenings. The staff are friendly and helpful . The atmosphere was good ,the food was tasty, and to help me choose a beer I was offered a couple of samples ,Whakahari was the winner . Returning soon . Smiley Face.

We were recommended this pub but the staff at the YHA up the road. It was late after walking Snowdon, but we weren’t disappointed with the food. It was delicious and plenty of it. The parking issue has now been resolved and you just put your number plate in the machine as you enter and the parking is free. Highly recommend this pub.

Having eaten here for years I was shocked at the unpleasant experience which began with the scam of the parking. Suffice to say we will never be going back and wouldn't recommend anyone else supports them. A real pity as this was a wonderful place to eat and drink after a day in the mountains. The main problem is the attitude of the company and the manager. You now have to pay to park either by phone (you need an account) or by app (which charges more than the cost stated on the board). The board says this is refunded if you spend £10 in the pub, this is a bald faced lie. Upon entering we realised that if you put your registration in you can park for free, a bit late if you already paid by the app. Upon taking it up with the bar maid we were told they don't refund the parking if you spend £10 since it's a separate company that manages the parking. I asked for a manager who promptly arrived and was so unhelpful and rude that it was staggering. She told us we'd misunderstood, accused us of being abusive to the staff by complaining and, the final straw, told us that they "aren't social services". She offered no solution, no apology and when we pointed out that their business is responsible for the companies they contract she said "we're just staff". Clearly she doesn't understand that as manager she is the representative of the company she works for, it's definitely a difficult position to be in but if she can't maintain professionalism she should look for a less responsible job or work for a company that doesn't put their staff in the impossible situation of defending actions tantamount to fraud.

Had a lovely meal in here. We sat on the conservatory, nice atmosphere and good service. Amazing views. Would visit again.

Having delivered a talk in Betws y Coed I and my five friends phoned ahead to ask if we could be fed. My talk was about leading groups to Everest Base Camp and raised funds for Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Team - the event was hosted by Rohan Designs. We arrived and ordered promptly. The hotel had recently re-opened after a massive refurbishment and was decorated to a high standard with some great pictures. The service was professional and friendly. The burger I ordered was one of the best I’d had for quite some time. Highly recommended.

The Tyn y Coed has been refurbished to a modern but comfortable standard and still maintains a warm and friendly atmosphere. The decor includes wonderful, colourful posters of local scenery reminiscent of the style of railway posters along with art from several other sources. The food maintains the usual high standard with a variety of dishes. Good luck to the Tyn y Coed, Capel Curig!

I drove past here on the way to betsw y coed from my campsite and thought I’ll visit on the way back. It was empty inside and the friendly bar staff handed me a lunch menu which had a nice little selection. I had the bbq chicken panini which came with salad and a handful of crisps ( chips if you’re American) . The food was nice and really hot which was great as outside the weather was bleak. Staff were friendly and smiling, the place soon filled up with people and seemed popular.

Such a lovely warm welcoming pub. Staff are amazing, even when pub is really busy. Food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

Visited a couple of times during a recent stay in Capel Curig. Can’t speak to the hotel side of things but the food and drink was to a very high standard and the staff were friendly and helpful. Perfect for avoiding the chaos of Betws-y-Coed on busy days!

We stopped here for lunch with our dog. Friendly welcome and a great lunch. Well worth stopping by when touring the area!

We stayed here overnight to then have easy access to the Penrhyn Quarry to do the velocity 2 zip wire. The rooms were very comfortable and had most things you would need for an overnight stay. My room did not have a hairdryer but others may have done. Neither of the rooms my friends and I had had hot water for a shower in the morning but we didn’t have time to ask staff as we were running late for the zip wire event. That may have been a simple fix. The rooms were basic but comfy. The food in the pub was very tasty… my friend has cottage pie and I had sausages. Locally sourced and good quality. The staff could not be faulted. They were very friendly, professional and welcoming.

5 out of 5 for our Sunday lunch with a log fire, a fabulous view of Moel Siabod . The owner was friendly and helpful , thier locally brewed ales were a delight , the food was excellent.

Lovely evening with my son and husband. They loved the rib eye and I ate the veggie cottage pie. Great service and very friendly

My friend and I stumbled across this pub after going for a run in the area. The staff were lovely and food was delicious. Will definitely go again. Really enjoyed the veggy lentil bake.

We have been regulars at this pub for 15 years and always enjoyed the good service and food, i think it must be under new ownership because on this visit it had changed considerably and we had very poor service and attitude, won't be coming back anytime soon

We went for an evening meal whilst camping. You're not looking for fine dining - you're looking for good warning pub food in a nice place to get warm and dry at the end of a monster day. It was really busy when we walked in, so the heart sank a little, but the owner/manager (not sure who he was exactly) was straight-away on us and told us that he'd have a table in about 45 minutes. Although they were busy, he was really welcoming. We were lucky as a table actually became free right there and then. We saw the same guy all evening working really hard to greet every person who came through the door and see that they got a table, or at the very least knew the score of what he could do for them. Spot on. Food was good - exactly right for the purpose - and not over-priced. Beer was also great - local and plenty of choice.

Food was edible if very underwhelming, service slow, everything a bit grubby, and the staff surely and disinterested. Not highly recommended unless you out of other options.

We visited the Snowdonia area in late August. My partner is vegetarian and I'm not a big meat eater so we were looking for suitable places to eat, and the Tyn-y-Coed pub completely fitted the bill. The food was high standard pub food and the service was great. We loved our Welsh rarebit starter, my partner's veggie cottage pie was lovely as was my chicken stuffed with cheese and broccoli, and the crumble at the end was amazing. You order at the bar, but one of the guys serving said he wasn't busy and would take our order anyway. Staff were constantly checking tables from afar to see if anyone needed anything, and they were very friendly. We enjoyed our experience and will definitely return on our next visit to the area. Note that you have to call to book a table but we didn't have a problem doing this, the phone was picked up quickly and the reservation taken without any issues.

We arrived tired and hungry after an amazing day of walking, the welcome was really warm and friendly, our host was lively, funny and really helpful and accommodating and the food was fresh beautifully cooked and delicious!!! Will definitely be back!!

We were staying in the hotel and for convenience ate at the restaurant on our first night but it had us returning for the second night as the food was so good. Really yummy and great atmosphere at the pub. The staff were super friendly and helpful as well.

Group of us were this this weekend after a long day up the mountains. We were greeted by the owner at the bar as we had already found our clearly marked table. The beer was excellent but the food was better. Rib-eye steaks were all cooked to perfection and the starters went down a treat (the black pudding and bacon was fab!). The chap who served us (owner?) couldn’t do enough and although busy, made a point of checking in to see if everything was OK. We will definitely be back!

Loved this place immediately. Good menu and portions after a day in the mountains, and very accommodating for gluten free. Really appreciate that the gluten free food was brought out separately and clearly communicated. I am not celiac, so don't know if celiac friendly you...

First time back since the change of hands and we weren't disappointed... A smaller menu than before but all freshly prepared locally sourced produce. The new owners are really friendly and the background music was really good 👍 We'll be back again tomorrow night....and the...

Amazing service, nothing was too much trouble. Had the burgers to eat and they were lovely. Had our one year old with us and she had the kids tomato pasta which was a really good portion. Would definitely recommend :)

The ONLY place to go in Capel Curig after a day in the hills, especially since The Bryn Tyrch went all poncy. Excellent beers at good prices, and fab food (check out the lamb shank). Always stop in own when we visit now.

We were a party of ten including four children. We received a warm welcome, good pub food, nice beer, helpful staff and pleasant surroundings, a big car park made for two really relaxing and enjoyable evenings

Had an unplanned and lovely few hours early one evening at a table right by the roaring fire. Very relaxed atmosphere, dog's welcome. Good food. Steak gets a special mention. Sadly pizza cannot be recommended - think it was a frozen one out of a...

We have stayed here several times over the years and it has become our 'Go To' place to stay in central Snowdonia as it offers everything we want for a short break. The location is perfect; a short drive from Snowdon, The Glyders and The Carneddau not to mention Siabod which can be climbed from the hotel.The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food is tasty and well-cooked and the real ales offered are well-kept and very moreish! Both staff and the owners are friendly and helpful We stayed when Covid restrictions were in place, but still felt very safe and although the bar/restaurant was table service only, we never had to wait long to be served.On arriving home from our stay we discovered we had left one of our walking poles behind. I contacted the hotel and they confirmed it had been found and that they would send it on to us. Although I offered to pay for postage etc, I was told there was no charge.We will definitely return for our next Snowdonia walking trip

Drink looked wrong so he removed face mask and shoved his nose in glass to smell it. Asked for extra gravy and took 20 mins to arrive, asked for desert menu, waited half hour then asked for bill. They brought menu instead off bill and got a death stare when said we don’t want desert, (owner) looked homeless!!! Then got kicked out of car park next morning because we didn’t pay £3 parking!!! Never had to pay for parking in a pub that we were dining in, spent over £50 for the two of us. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO DRIVE PAST TO NEXT PUB, nice place shame about the staff!!!!

Excellent meal & service even though they were very busy. Drinks served quickly & waiter apologised for slight delay before the food arrived.

We took a short weekend break at the Tyn-y-coed when our climbing hut booking when wrong. I was really disappointed by this so my husband found us a room here instead. What a fantastic alternative! Beautiful en suit room with a view, amazing food but what really stands out about the Tyn-y-coed is the staff who are so friendly, helpful and even though they're working hard all day long remain cheery and committed to making guests welcome. Although we're still on table service, this doesn't impact at all on the quality of service offered- there's no long waits for your drinks or food and the food was delicious.

Very impressed by the taste, quality of food and service. No doubt to recommend this place with 5 star rating. I think must visit here to believe.

My friend and I booked 2 rooms for 2 nights whilst we walked around the Glyders. Absolutely superb in every aspect. Welcoming friendly accommodating are just a few of the words I could use. Excellent bar. Excellent menu. Packed lunches available. In the current circumstances the rooms and bar area etc are cleaned to within an inch of their lives. Totally welcoming to all visitors from wherever in the world. Typically British/Welsh b&b accommodation but with every need catered for. TV coffee/tea machine Great beds. Bar very well organised for covid with full cleaning between guests. Staff and owners never stop working to provide an excellent service. Thanks to all.

Excellent venue, friendly staff and great food. This is the best pub for walkers and tourers in the locality with superb access to Moel Siabod, the Cefyn y Capel ridge and river walk to Betws y Coed. Great, well-equipped rooms with good beer, and excellent ‘specials’ on the food menu. A great stay thanks.

We stayed here for two nights at the last minute. We were welcomed by Carol and Mark on arrival and they could not do enough to make our stay comfortable, despite the covid restrictions. All covid precautions were observed by staff and visitors. A varied menu was provided along with a daily specials board. We had the full cooked breakfast which was excellent and just the job to set you up for a days outdoor activity. The hotel is well located at the side of the A5 with gorgeous views of the surrounding hills. There is a large car park. The location is excellent for all outdoor activities with walks right from the doorstep, and the tourist attraction of Betys-y-coed a very short drive away. A wonderful stay in a traditional coaching Inn !

Booked this hidden gem as a last minute break and I was not dissatisfied the staff are so welcoming, food was fantastic especially the fish soup. The rooms are spotless comfy and cosy. The location is perfect to visit all tourist spots. We will definitely return.thank you so much for a wonderful stay !

We had a great meal - generous sizes. Tricky to decide what to have as the specials and menu choices all looked good. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Tasty and warming food after a long walk up Moel Siabod. Staff were lovely and friendly, great surroundings - what more could you need!

Very good appropriately socially distanced meal and drinks. Staff all masked and attentive with good cleansing guidance around, hand gels etc . Glad to see the place open and hope will persevere in such difficult times.

I visited Tyn-y-Coed on successive days whilst camping in Capel Curig. What a find - food was really flavoursome with good portion sizes, they serve Peroni on tap (real bonus) and the service was very attentive. Overall a really good place for hearty & wholesome food. Also the view from the car park up to Moel Saibod is lovely.

We were a party of 8, prebooked. We informed that we had a party member who needed gluten free and were welcomed with open arms (metaphorically- the restaurant was very socially distanced aware). Jane was friendly, accommodating and provided really good customer service. The sticky toffee pudding I am reliably informed by my husband was “schamazing” and was taste tested with the GF version and there was no discernible difference! Our GF girl was utterly delighted to have choice and flavour for a change. The rest of our food was tasty- excellent homemade coleslaw! Thoroughly worth a visit. Thankyou Jane- we had a great visit

This is the sort of place which, if it was in the middle of a town or somewhere less remote, you'd probably pass by. The food was not bad (bit pricey for what you got), the interior pretty spartan, and some OK beers (if a bit tasteless). But when you come in from the cold and wind it all seems cosy and welcoming, and the food and beer suddenly seems the best.So choose your pre-food activities wisely - be energetic! - and you'll think it's great. But if you're just passing, you might want to carry on a bit further.

What a wonderful cosy pub! Lovely fireplace, nice service. Warm and good beers! Dog friendly ! Highly recommend!

Returned in the evening for a meal have to say that was a bit gutted that there was no lamb left it seems very popular, when I ordered as I had set my heart on it. However I had the salmon on bed of asparagus. which was lovely. A friend had the vegan option which also looked very appetising. Good selection of local real ale. Also very impressive selection of 65 single malt scotch which I am sure to return to enjoy.Lovely open fire convivial atmosphere which was welcome as it was blowing a hooly outside.

Popped in for a drink mid afternoon after being out all day. A lovely roaring fire and very friendly bar staff. Nice atmosphere even though the pub was very quiet. Would definitely pop back for lunch or dinner when in the area.

Staying at the nearby Plas Curig, so ventured 100 metres up the road for dinner on the first night. Good quality, well-presented, local food with plenty of options for families and non-meat eaters. Two-course meal for four with wine (for two) was just over £100.

We've had 2 dinners here this week, both of which were really, really good. Last night we were served by Morgan who was a super star and very helpful. Many GF options available, clearly marked on the menu. Our pizza, fish pie, burger and gammon were delicious as was the sticky toffee pudding! Good portion sizes and good quality.

After being turned away from a local bar, we headed here, and we were so glad we did! Excellent service, friendly and welcoming staff, superb food with a comprehensive selection of beers, wines and spirits. Relaxed atmosphere, all making for a fantastic evening, just what we needed after an exciting Snowdon horseshoe adventure.

After a long hard days walk with my young son. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly and courteous. They could not be faulted and made myself and my young son most welcome. Thank you very much

We have eaten here before so We knew the food was good .good sized meals and local welsh beer , definitely come back.

This Pub always has a great atmosphere. Serving lovely food with great beer. All at a good price We had a meal for 4 after a long day out in the mountains. Perfect end to a perfect day

Plenty of pubs in this part of the world but this is a good example. Nice traditional decor, great ales - very reasonably priced indeed, friendly staff and owner. Food is decent enough, and portions are huge. Made us feel very welcome.

Fantastic service, great local beer, and a terrific dinner of veggie sausage and mash - perfect start to my holiday in north Wales. Thank you!

Loved this very traditional Welsh pub in Capel Curig, within walking distance from Moel Siabod and a base for the end of many other fab walks in the area.

Wide menu. Pub based food. Order at the bar. Busy and so a little slow. Good quality pub food although nothing special. Having cycled six hours in Snowdonia portions were good and filling!

Repeated family and solo visits to one of my favourite watering holes in Snowdonia. I can't comment on the accomodation as I haven't stayed.

We were the only people in here which should have been a giveaway. After being told we couldn’t have food and then realising she’d misread the time we’re told we could eat. Two woman chatting, totally disinterested in serving, felt like we were intruding.

We’ve visited this pub for an evening meal now several times and never been disappointed.

Not far from the dolgam campsite and after a loverly view of a near by waterfall is a local pub with a large carpark and hotel attached.

We walked down on our first night in Capel Curig and had a perfectly nice meal with plenty of local gins. Tried the other pub the second night and ended up coming back here for desert as we just found it much less pretentious with a better atmosphere.

Good pub grub. Had beef burger, sausage & mash and lamb chop dinners in our party and all 3 were very good. Desserts also very good, basic pub grub but again good tasty quality. In fact we returned a second night after dinner elsewhere for dessert. Good welsh gin selection. Very busy on the Friday night, might’ve been best to book a table if coming again, assume for lots of folk climbing the mountain the next day. Quite pricey for a 2-3 course plus drinks but not too expensive. £40+ a head for mains, dessert and a couple of wines/gin. Great village location up the road from Snowdon car parks though and small village means pubs are likely walking distance from wherever you stay. Would recommend for a hiking/mountain trip

Came on a Saturday lunch time and it was pretty eerie. One member of staff and no punters.

Went there for having a quick bite as all the other places were already closed. Nothing too special but good enough to fill in an empty tummy... the cleanliness was quite poor.

Popped in for evening meal. Standard pub food. Good size portion.

Went into here after climbing unfortunately didn't catch any names but both female bartenders were excellent very friendly and gave amazing service the pizzas were great too 10/10 would recommend over anywhere in the area

We spent a weekend as a family of 3 within a larger group of 22 of mixed ages. The hotel was a perfect base for a weekend of walking in Snowdonia and near to Tryfan - our ‘target’ mountain. The staff were very welcoming, rooms were nice and the food and breakfasts were very good indeed. We would certainly recommend it and visit again.

I've been here a couple of times after a day walking in the mountains. It's a nice old fashioned pub, the staff are friendly and there's a good mix of locals, walkers and other tourists.

Great hotel with comfortable rooms. The food in the the restaurant downstairs is amazing. Highly recommend the Welsh lamb. The pub has an amazing atmosphere with friendly staff and a brilliant range of real ales and single malt whisky.

A group of 14 of us stayed in the area for a couple of days and as we hadn't pre-booked anywhere to eat we struggled to find anywhere that would accommodate. We called up a couple of hours before to see if they would be able to seat us and they told us they would fit us in. We arrived and as promised we were shown to a separate dining area where all 14 of us could have our meal. Everyone was happy with the meal and the service. I had the smoked Haddock and Welsh Rarebit (which was delicious). Thanks again to the owners for catering to us on our last evening in Wales!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Tyn-y-Coed Inn. I was only there for a night, but I could have happily stayed there longer if I could have. Room was clean, spacious, and most importantly, especially if you're going to be spending your day outdoors, a nice hot shower.

We have just spent a five night break at the Tyn-y-coed. Not only is it a lovely comfortable hotel but the food served is superb. The choice of breakfast is vast and the quality of the produce is superb being all locally sourced. The Full Welsh every breakfast was my favourite. Dinner saw us have a pick from not only a good menu but a regular evening specials board. The portions are more than adequate and the service is good. We shall be back

It made such a pleasant change to have a choice of 6 vegetarian main course items on the menu plus one on the specials board. I had veggie cottage pie and my husband had chickpea and vegetable casserole. Both meals were really good, staff friendly and the place was comfortable.

My family visited to grab some food one evening, during a wet holiday week in North Wales. The Inn is easy to find and there is more than enough parking in the park opposite.

Visited the pub for dinner and the food was lovely, pizzas, pie and Fish pie with chips. Service was quick but the atmosphere was non existent, which was a shame.

After a fine day walking in Snowdonia we decided to pop in for some much need fuel and this pub ticked all the right boxes, excellent selection of meals and nice atmosphere.

I visited this pub for evening dinners during a stay at Snowdon. The food was fabulous - almost everything comes with chips! There is a selection of food for vegetarians including sausages, pies, curry, pasta and a daily veg special. It is a relatively small venue but despite that has over 50 varieties of whiskey.

We had a nice evening meal here after sport climbing and hiking. We were fancying a hearty evening meal, and that’s what we got. However, we did feel it was a little overpriced for the food we got and honestly, the presentation wasn’t exactly appetising. However it tasted okay, and we had clean plates after finishing.. (although that may be due to us being very hungry)

Reliable good pub grub - so reliable that we went there twice! One of our party has recently become gluten free and so we were delighted to find nearly every item in the menu had a gluten free option.

Third visit to the Tyn-y-Coed. Met with the usual warm welcome, comfortable rooms, good beer and great food.

Around 12 miles from Llanberis and about 4 miles from Betswy-coed this place has parking, it's quite big. We had a good meal. Just under £30 for two of us including drinks.

Visited a few times whilst we stayed at the B&B.; Nice cost atmosphere. Pleasant garden area. Food was pretty good. Nice beer selection (especially Purple Moose ales) and plenty of quality whiskies on offer. Staff and locals friendly and helpful.

Good local beers and an enormous whisky selection. Some very good pub meals which are certainly designed for those that have spent their days climbing and hiking in the National Park. Tasty and large!

I have to say, after recently visiting the Tyn-y-Coed Inn on Tuesday and Wednesday evening of this week after climbing Snowdon this place delivered on many levels.

Comida “distinta”, que dificulta su catalogación. Una hamburguesa que tenía mucha verdura dentro, una tabla de quesos con solo 3 trocitos de queso y el resto complementos, un brownie con helado y nata... servicio muy l’entorn (y eso que estábamos solos)!

Camping down the road was told by other campers about this place.good sized portions . BIG pizzas and childrens meals . Would definitely come back.

Stayed in early June as group of 10 walking in national park over the weekend. We booked rooms and bunk space (sleeps 5). We’ve stayed before and welcomed as ever. Great filling breakfasts set you up for mountains with lots of choice and a variety of cooked meals to order (including porridge). Cater for vegans with milk substitutes. Also excellent to have bar/restaurant on doorstep so not too far to struggle after a long days walking. Good variety of bar meals and generous pizzas recommended. Evening meals a little limited for vegans ( but this is the sort of place that will address that is its some notice) and lots of choice for veggies.

Stayed here once with my parents when I was a kid and my mum did her geological mapping from this as a base. This time it was only a coffee stop, but it was more than fine.

This Inn is ideally situated as a place to have a informal bar meal, drink and rest, after doing some local walking trails, etc. Or a three course meal, if one chooses. With a fair sized off-road car park nearby.
