Y Gwydyr in Conwy

Lovely cosy pub, very welcome after a long walk in the hills.

Great accommodation and food. Room and bed was lovely and we enjoyed our stay

Super pub, highly recommended, warm and friendly atmosphere

Popped in for coffee and cake with friends lovely welcome good coffee Definitely will go again

First time I have visited this little pub. Excited to return to try out the food.

Long hard walk. Nice to meet the landlady and get coffee and cake which was excellent. Want to come back.

Such lovely people, made a fuss of my son on his birthday and really helpful about the local area, made time to sit and talk to us. Will be back for sure when we are in the area to try the food from the kitchen opening soon x

Didn't sample any food, coffee only. But service and facilities are excellent.

Wow! The new look Gwydyr Hotel is fantastic! Friendly, full of character and renovated to a high standard. A lovely interior, great for all drinks and great coffee with a cafe side and a pub side, a lovely beer garden with great views, there's everything there you could want. Highly recommended! Food is due to start soon and I bet that will be wonderful too 😁

Welcomed us in on a rainy morning on a long hike, to sit by the fire and have a great coffee! Very friendly and welcoming. The pub itself is also beautiful. Highly recommend! Thank you so much :)

Lovely local pub. The owners and locals made us feel very welcome. Will miss them

Lovely place, very quaint. Very kind and friendly staff

Really nice old school pub. Lovely friendly people and the food was nice! Would recommend 👍

charming small pub with home made meals, vegetarian options as well. A nice pint in front of the wood fire. Id recommend anyone to stop by, especially after an adventure in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Lovely little pub, lovely home cooked food, very reasonably priced, if I lived in the area it would definitely be my local. My only criticism would be that there are just a few too many cobwebs hanging around, oh and better wine would be a bonus.

A solid, quality pub. Pints were fairly priced. The bartender and locals were friendly and chatted a bit. A wood fireplace added a friendly, natural warmth. There is a pool table. Couches were comfortable. Fast wifi. All in all, I enjoyed it and would come back when I'm in the area.

A real pub with real people, packed with big characters. Welsh is the first language of the village and is used freely in the pub, however, everyone is included and welcomed. Beer is really well priced for those wanting a bargain, less than £3 for bitter and the homemade meals are great value with the best chips in Wales, basic but tasty and plentiful. Spent two evenings here and I loved the place and the people, they don't make an effort to include you just feel immediately included. Great banter. There was a wide spectrum of people from a Scouser to a Czech lady and English settlers, In this mix the Welsh language was alive and well. The free-flowing humour between everyone gave the place its infectious character. Particular thanks to Peter and Sarah who run it, (Sarah's chips were slightly better :)) Ellen the barmaid was such great fun. If you would go to Paris and drink in an Irish bar then this place may not be for you, if you want to go to Wales and drink in a proper pub with proper people then roll your sleeves up and go in for a couple of pints, it will be an experience!

Visited this traditional country pub on the day we were viewing a property. So welcoming we stayed for dinner. The home cooked dinner was so nice I ordered it again and had seconds!! No comparison to the month we've just spent in America, dreadful food. Since been back and spent many hours and dinners here, we're almost locals now haha. Yes the fag butt's outside are dire but that's down to disrespectful smokers that think it's acceptable!

Came here for dinner on the off chance there would be availability since we couldn’t get through to book on the phone. We arrived and were told it would be a 40 min wait for food, since 1 table of 4 has ordered before us… We got drinks to pass the time, served with sparing ice but fine all the same. Fortunately the food arrived in under 30 mins, but unfortunately it wasn’t up to the standard expected. The curry was ok, but looked very unappetising and the lasagne was clearly reheated under a grill and looked past its best. Portion sizes however were decent. Coming from a small village, it’s obviously valued for its charm and authenticity but I wouldn’t recommend it as a regular stop. Probs won’t be returning.

Very friendly, locally run, village pub with good food and good beer. Can't go wrong with a stop here before or after a hike.

Very friendly pub - relaxed crowd of locals. I hadn’t had a drink in this pub for nearly 50 years but it soon felt like yesterday- although they had moved the dart board in the interim! Good value - great pub food - fun night!

Such a shame as this little village pub has huge potential. Seriously lacking in some TLC, decor, cleaning. Everywhere we looked were cigarette ends, weeds, general disrepair. If you're going to have hanging baskets, weed them and put flowers in! Or take them down. The pub was full of dogs, and being only a small place, it felt like we were trapped in a kennel. Food was very below par and although it's menu says 'homemade' I doubt that very much. Personally I'd sack any cook that declared that as homemade. I'd know boil in the bag rice and tinned meat anywhere. The bread was so hard I'm sure I've chipped a tooth! The vegetarian option had probably been found at the bottom of the freezer and tasted and smelt quite old. As there are quite a few excellent reviews, maybe the regular cook was ill? But I'd never go again. Worst meal out we've ever had.

Excellent good old fashioned pub with great atmosphere I really enjoyed it, keep it up

Has a 1 star food hygiene rating on Food Standards website. Yuk.

Meeting long lost family from the States staying in the village, we were tired after a long day visiting local sights, and so settled to eat at Y Gwydir. I'd not been there for about 10 years and was pleased to see how clean and well decorated it was. It busy with locals in the bar, and lovely to see Ellen, whom I'd known many years before, coping so professionally behind the bar! Our food was plentiful, and mine certainly well cooked - my cottage pie was more than enough for me, and was the very best I had ever eaten! The only very minor downside was that they had run out of peas to accompany it, so I had to settle for sweetcorn, of which there was far too much! If I'd thought at the time, I would happily have run over to the village shop opposite and brought back a pack of frozen peas!!

Great little local pub, friendly staff and locals, free pool table too!

Lovely pub, spend just over an hour here. The kitchen wasn't open when I visited at 3:30pm, but they still offered to make me some gamon and chips. It was delicious and very reasonably priced.

Good typical local pub. Not a huge selection of beer on tap but staff were very friendly and welcoming. Sausage & Mash was 10/10

Lovely village pub, really friendly landlord. Villagers welcoming too.

Very nice little local traditional pub, friendly

Came here after a walk up the Glyders and the staff were very friendly and accommodating and cooked us some chips. Lovely sunny garden. Also very reasonably priced drinks!

Had to wait here from 2-8pm one day very friendly and hospitable staff, owner pete is a top dude him and some of the locals helped me out planning my route back to llandudno during rail strikes, 12/10, top banana

I can not even begin to tell you how amazing this venue is. The food was freshly cooked and brilliant Definitely worth a visit Thank you so much

Absolutely fabulous find, great service, great home cooked food. Really should visit. Not to be missed.

Dog friendly, great service didn't stick around for food but a great cozy pub well worth stopping in.

Friendly man who recommended good food to us. Enjoy view there. Beer garden there.

Spent a couple of days nearby, cosy , friendly pub, really tasty food at good prices, Would definitely go again when in the area

Visiting friends and dropped in as this is now his local, very welcoming and friendly. Good prices and decent pub grub. Friendly staff

We really liked this rural, friendly pub. The beer was great and we loved sitting by the open fires after a long day of walking in the mountains. We went there every day while staying in the village.

Brilliant food, great open fires and lovely staff. Will come back

Looked around on maps for a nice traditional local style pub, chose this one and what a choice, food is delicious, beer tastes delicious, staff are very nice, and the building itself is beautiful, will be coming again 100%

Wow, wow, wow! Hands down the best roast dinner I've ever had in any pub or restaurant. Friendly staff and locals, even did food slightly off the menu for us. Wish I could give more stars. We are not local, but we will definitely be back. XxX

Great pub. Real fires, slate floors local beer, everything a wet and weary walker needs.

Lovely place, extremely competitive pricing, great beer and wholesome food. Perfect end destination after a long cold hike up in the near by mountains. Recommended!

Great food and beer and very good pricing. Really enjoyed ourselves thank you. Paul and Debbs.

A very welcome break on a journey. Food excellent real chips and the owner was so pleasant and friendly. I recommend this pub to everyone.

What a truly local welcoming pub, we were staying in a cottage in the village of Dolwyddelan for a week and made this place our go to for a few drinks each afternoon/evening and even had a meal on our last night as they had just opened the refurbished kitchen and we were tempted by the homemade lasagne and much talked about lamb burger. The landlord Pete and locals were really lovely and made us feel part of the community during our stay. Well worth a visit or two!

Lovely little pub. Really friendly owner.

Lovely drinks on a very warm day sadly no food as they are refurbishing very polite staff and locals friendly

only called in for drinks staff and the locals were very friendly shame they didn't do food due to the kitchen being refurbished a very clean & tidy pub with a good beer garden

Had a great evening in here, very pleasant staff and friendly

Nice pint, good selection of cider & ales, friendly staff, sadly no longer serving any food. The writing is probably on the wall for yet another traditional local pub...hope I'm proved wrong.

Best pub experience we've ever had. Thank you!!

Great little pub with lovely staff and locals are a hoot! The Purple Moose on tap was excellent.

Friendly and cheap pub. Lots of character.

Nice food and beer with friendly service

Seriously good chips! Absolutely no nonsense food and mega tasty, excellent atmosphere if you're looking for a proper local pub. Great beer and friendly. Highly recommend.

Good no nonsense pub, with good beer

On our honeymoon in 1995 we stayed in the village and this was our local. We returned with our 2 children several years later. Lovely pub, staff, food, and atmosphere . Hoping to return soon.

Great. Very friendly and served beer.

Great little locals pub. We stopped in for a quick drink, and pub atmosphere was quite welcoming. Staff was very friendly. When in the area again, we would definitely make a return visit.

Will be great once refurbished complete. Great hospitality in the meantime and difficult circumstances

local pub but very friendly. nice owners but a little rustic!

Quality homemade food, good pub atmosphere. No nonsense, spot on

I know some on here have said don't let the decor put you off, and I know these are hard times for smaller pubs, but I couldn't bring myself to do anything more than have a couple of quite unremarkable pints from a sparsely-stocked bar. The pub has a magnificent beamed ceiling but the rest is badly in need of attention and the place just didn't feel comfortable - and the atmosphere was zero. Has to be said, the food I saw being served did look good but the guy serving it didn't exactly fill me with confidence. I like lots of different types of pubs, however basic, but I struggled to find any redeeming features in this one. Like I acknowledged, these are hard times - hopefully this village pub has a future.

Lovely people, lovely food. Made us feel really welcome. We was rooting for the Welsh today!

Friendly pub. A couple of real ales and basic pub menu -great homemade chips!

Very cost effective but it has to be as decor is rustic to the point of shabby. Good quality hearty roast with good portions but barely any atmosphere.

Home cooked food delicious but inside desperately needs some TLC

Excellent Sunday lunch. Good value for money. Good atmosphere.

Great little place to relax with great food

Visited whilst staying in the village. Great food,reasonably priced. Would recommend but don't be put off by the decor which needs some updating. Staff were friendly as were most of the locals.

Good ale, friendly staff, games & sports TV. Sunday lunches too but I was too late. Great locals pub.

Essen und Pub sind recht einfach, dafür aber preiswert. Bedienung aber sehr freundlich

Delicious home cooked food, at fair prices, in a nice little local pub, with friendly, welcoming staff. Wish I'd had dinner here on my second night as well, instead of trying out the overpriced hotel restaurant down the street.

Great food and service Family table of 12 at short notice Great. Home cooked..great beer...v fast wifi

Nice local pub. Doesn't cook on sundays,but the beer is ok 😉

What a nice place to be. First of all and I suppose the most important ( maybe ) was that the food was fab. Proper food. I got stuck into sausage, chips, egg and beans and it reminded me of my Auntie Nellys home cooking. The apple crumble that I unfortunatley had to share with my partner Julie was Gods gift to the taste buds. Simply divine. Rustic old proper pub ( DO NOT BE PUT OFF BY THE DECOR ). Right nice locals, barmaid with a smile and real nice chatty fella cooking ( Don't know if he's the owner but I would employ him tomorrow ) Make sure that you have the Apple crumble for pud. The prices are right too. Loo's are clean. Good parking. Ale was good.We will return and Highly recommend.David and Julie

A week in a rented cottage within walking distance saw us eating and drinking in this pub on three occasions and each was a great experience. On the Saturday night we fancied a curry so ate elsewhere but returned to Y Gwydyr for a drinking/live music/singing/dancing session and were made very welcome by both the hosts and local patrons. An excellent bitter was on tap (Madog Brewery) sold at an unbelievable price compared with home. Sunday lunchtime saw us return for a Sunday roast which was really good and it was such a pity that more patrons were not making use of the facility. We sat down in the restaurant on the Monday evening but it was decidedly lonely in there so we repaired to the bar to eat another excellent meal followed by more pints of Madog. This could be a really good pub if it didn't look like it was permanently in the middle of a DIY makeover. Two people that I met later in a nearby establishment had earlier on just 'poked their noses in' but decided the place wasn't for them due to the broken glass in the entrance door, the half finished panelling and the rather odd furniture and that's a pity because the food, the beer and the welcome are all top notch.

Friendly pub with great food the curry was excellent with proper chips! Nice pint of Wrexham too. Da Iawn!

Most Anti English pub I have have been in... but when the thumbheaded barman was trying to impress his Thumbheaded bit of fluff over the bar by playing songs slagging off the English.. we decided to eat elsewhere before our pies got Dicked... go to the Hotel next door much better

Cozy little pub, sun trap garden great range of cold beverages

Nice atmosphere good beet and ale

We have just eaten in this 'rustic' country pub. A place obviously full of history. We chose the steak pie and the gammon steak both of which were of outstanding quality and taste. We shall certainly visit this welcoming village pub again!

We visited four or five times while we were on holiday in the village. It is almost what you visualise as the quintessential country village pub - hulking beams, stone flooring, a gigantic fireplace with a cracking fire. The football was on, unobtrusively on a small TV near the bar. There is a pool table in a separate room. We all want our local to be like this.Really the only gripe was that there was only one real ale on draught - if that is your thing. We were there in winter, one imagines it is busier in the summer and perhaps can manage more than one beer on tap. Also the beer is served through a sparkler even though many beers are not meant to be served that way. We asked for it to be removed but they weren't able to get it off. The landlord was able to pour the beer flat.We did not eat here but saw what other customers were having - it seemed basic and fairly priced.

Visited today whilst passing on a works day out. We wanted hot drinks as well as soft drinks and the prices were so reasonable that we stayed there for a few. The place was warm and friendly and when passing we will most definitely call there again.

Stopped here for Sunday lunch, choosing the 3 course meal for £11.99, great value food which was very nice. Staff are really friendly and helpful and the pub has a nice atmosphere inside, will most definitely be coming back. Later in the day one of our dogs slipped his harness and escaped, he was running around on the road, staff came out the pub with dog treats and helped us get him back, thank you again!

Friendly local pub and a cracking Sunday roast!

Would give 6 stars if I could. Hosts and clients where super-friendly,great atmosphere, live music on Saturday evening, dog friendly, and Sunday roast was amazing (yes, we came back the next day as the Saturday night was spectacular).

We had a lovely Sunday roast in here. A 3 course meal for £11.50 with drinks included. Lovely staff. Worth a stop.

Loved this pub. Friendly hosts. Dog friendly which is a must for me. Home cooked food which i enjoyed. Good choice of wine,beer and spirits. Lovely open fire.

Great food and great people who run it x

Having just returned from North Wales and staying in a great converted chapel, we found this great little local pub that had a small restaurant attached to it. You could not have asked for better company, the owners could not have been more friendly and accommodating. ( Charlie the dog was great fun as well).The menu whilst small was of good wholesome traditional pub grub and the local cask ale went down well with the quality food. We met up there on Several nights and the locals were all very friendly and we shared many stories. Well done to the owners do not change things to much keep the pub as it is a great little Local.

A warm welcome at this friendly local. Local real ales and a selection of lager and stout available. Great food menu offering quality food at an excellent price.

Good food, really friendly staff.

Had a lovely meal with my daughter on a mid-week evening while on holiday in the village. Owners/staff were friendly, service was good, food tasty, well cooked and portions were ample. If in the area again then we'd definitely return.

Ah the Gwydyr! 45yrs I've been an occasional visitor. It's changed a bit for the better. And a bit more to do but keep going folks. Food, drink and a real fire. Proppa

Pleasant enough with reasonable food at reasonable prices

Nice country pub with a really friendly service and some good ales. Disappointingly the food seemed to be just microwaved. My pie was basically a bowl of gravy with a few lumps of steak and a huge puff pastry topper. The vegetables were overcooked and grey, whilst the chips were barely off-white and undercooked. The burning hot plates a telltale sign of how they were prepared. Friends faired similarly poorly with their lasagnas. A real shame as with some lovely cooked food this place could be a real draw.
