At the Craig-y-Dderwen Riverside  Hotel  you will enjoy a peaceful and  relaxing stay  in a variety of individually  styled bedrooms  and public areas, all  tastefully furnished  retaining many  original features such as  Four-Poster  suites and roaring log fires. This    complemented by an excellent     selection of food and wine will ensure  you   will only take home fond  memories  of  your  stay in this  delightful  part of   North   Wales.

The hotel was built in 1890 by an industrialist from the Midlands as a private house, where he could  enjoy a retreat from the pressure of business, being converted to a hotel in the early 1920's, and  carrying on as such to the present day, with a brief interval during war time when it was taken over  by  the Ministry of Defence for secret operations.

Elgar, the famous composer, spent much time here relaxing along the riverbank contemplating the views, which have changed little since that time. The wooded slopes and the winding River Conwy running down the valley are quite magnificent.
Betws-y-Coed is centrally located in North Wales and you will find that nearly all roads lead to this village making it very difficult to get lost.

The Hotel has ample free parking and our secluded location away from the main road makes us  the  perfect retreat. At the Craig-y-Dderwen you will have the best of both worlds, tranquil location   and within a 5-10 minute walk from the busy village centre of Betws-y-Coed.
