Dolwyddelan, Dolwyddelan, LL25 0EJ, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
Friendly and helpful owners, the location and the cozy atmosphere in the bar. Our family-suite had 3 bedrooms and an good bathroom which gave us a lot of space!
A former 18th century coaching inn, originally part of the Earl of Ancaster's Welsh estate, this comfortable, family-run hotel is full of historic character. Resting in the center of the Dolwyddelan, the hotel offers a unique place to relax at the heart of the Snowdonia National Park in North Wales. Retaining its original character and many fittings, Elen’s Castle Hotel has en suite guestrooms to suit all tastes, including a four-poster room overlooking the Lledr Valley and River, a family suite and accommodations to suit walking groups. There is also a bunkhouse for the traveler on a budget. Dine in the intimate restaurant and enjoy a drink by the wood burning stove in the cozy historic bar. This hotel has a Tesla charger and a type 2 Electric Car charger. It has a Green Tourism award recognizing its minimal impact on the Snowdonia National Park, and an award for promoting local produce, as it serves Welsh gin, vodka and craft ale.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.7 for a two-person trip.
