Situated in
Trefriw, near Betws-y-Coed on the northern edge of Snowdonia in North
Wales and overlooking the lovely Conwy Valley, Yr Hafod (The Summer
Dwelling in Welsh), was formerly a farmhouse and dates from the Middle
Ages.
This
non-smoking country house style guest accommodation in Snowdonia is an
ideal location for a relaxing break or holiday in North Wales. Bed and
breakfast (B&B) accommodation is provided, although most guests also
take advantage of the excellent evening meals.
The restaurant (The Driven Goose Bistro Bar) is open to non-residents
and can cater for those on a gluten-free diet.
Here your host, Chris Nichols, has set about creating a special place
for guests to stay; a small informal, non-smoking country retreat away
from the crowds and providing warm hospitality, with exceptional food at
its heart. Children under 11 are not allowed. Dog friendly accommodation
is provided.
As
well as our AA and Wales Tourist Board ratings, we are referred to in
the 'Rough Guide to Wales' as "... lovely Hafod Country Hotel" and also
feature in the 'AA Essential Guide to Wales", which picks out a very
limited number of places.
The ground floor of Yr Hafod contains the residents lounge, bar and
dining room. All the bedrooms are on the first floor. Dogs are welcome.
The lounge has a small alcove off it. Comfortably furnished, with a
mixture of modern and antique furniture and having no television, it is
a relaxing place for guests to unwind in.
The bar is thought to have been the hall of the late medieval house, it
has been fitted with antique oak wall panelling and has a small well
stocked bar which has been made from Victorian chapel fittings. Together
with some antiques, these features create a room of great character.
The dining room is believed to have originally been a farm building. It
contains a huge fireplace, which may have well been the farm's forge and
is used in the winter months to burn logs.
We take the view that good food is essential to our guests' enjoyment of
their stay. See our food page for more information about the quality
food (breakfast and evening meals) on offer at Yr Hafod including a
sample dinner menu.
hotel dining room where breakfast and evening meal are served
There are six bedrooms, all of which are en-suite, and are individually
decorated and furnished. A balcony surrounds most of the building, and
all bedrooms have direct access onto it - a place to enjoy the sun and
views, or even to listen to the sounds of the many owls in the
surrounding trees and woodlands at night.
