Royal Oak Hotel

About Royal Oak Hotel

The Royal Oak stands in the centre of Betws-y-Coed and has served travellers on this route since its days as a coaching inn on the London to Holyhead road. It remains one of the village's social hubs, with a bar that draws locals as well as guests and a restaurant serving hearty, traditional dishes built around Welsh produce.

Bedrooms are comfortable and straightforward rather than luxurious, aimed at walkers and touring visitors who want a good night's sleep and a proper breakfast before heading into Snowdonia. The bar pours Welsh ales from breweries including Purple Moose and Great Orme alongside more familiar brands, and it is a reliable spot for an evening meal well into the night.

Its central position means the station, shops and the river rocks at Pont-y-Pair are all within a couple of minutes' walk, making it one of the most convenient bases in the village for anyone without a car.
