Really good service from the moment we arrived. Offered to dry our soggy clothes from a snowdon trip and also kept the bar open as long as we wanted on the night. Will definitely be back!

A perfect place to stay
Elen’s Castle Hotel proved to be the perfect place for a few days away in Wales. The Hotel was clean, tidy, Covid safe, welcoming and comfortable. The staff were very friendly! The food from the restaurant was amazing! There was a good choice and between us, a family of four and we ate there both nights we were there, every course was perfect! We will definitely be back - thank you!

Sorry. Not too impressed....
Accommodation was spacious and had all one would expect, however, in terms of value-for-money we were somewhat disappointed. Breakfast was okay, but limited, and the timing surprisingly restricted - 8-9 a.m. And no boiled eggs!!!
