About Craig-y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel
Craig-y-Dderwen was built in 1890 as a private house for a Midlands industrialist before its conversion to a hotel in the 1920s, and it remains one of the grandest addresses in Betws-y-Coed. The building sits in eighteen acres of grounds overlooking the Conwy Valley, a short walk from the village centre yet with a genuine sense of seclusion once inside the gates.
The eighteen bedrooms are traditionally furnished in keeping with the house's character, and the hotel's restaurant has held an AA Rosette every year since 2006, drawing on local Welsh produce for its menus. There is a choice of lounges and a bar for guests wanting a quieter evening after a day on the hills.
Practical touches include ample free parking, a helipad, electric vehicle charging points and secure bike storage, reflecting a mix of guests that ranges from walkers and cyclists to visitors marking a special occasion. Its riverside gardens and valley outlook make it one of the most photographed hotel settings in the village.
