Royal Oak Hotel

my stay at The Royal Oak hotel in Betws-y-coed was nothing short of exceptional. From its stunning location and inviting accommodations to its delightful dining options and impeccable service, every aspect of the hotel exceeded my expectations. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature or a base for exploring the wonders of Snowdonia, I wholeheartedly recommend The Royal Oak for an unforgettable experience in Betws-y-coed.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to Jordan and the staff at the Royal Oak yesterday. We visited for lunch and my Mother became unwell (a drop in blood pressure). We had just finished our mains (which were delicious) and my mother felt dizzy. Jordan came over with a glass of Pepsi and offered my mother a hotel room to rest in until she felt better. Jordan explained that there was no rush to vacate the room and to take our time. He then came back to the room a little later to explain that he was finishing his shift and to check everything was ok. The professionalism of your staff was exceptional. We look forward to seeing you for lunch again soon and thank you again for your kindness.

Good value Sunday lunch with a large selection of vegetables and meats only downside whilst there was no Welsh lamb desserts were lovely good value for money be mindful that on the menu it says extras but the veg is included in the two or three course price

We drove past the Royal Oak on a visit to Swallow Falls waterfall and loved the look of the outdoor area. When we had a look at the menu online we decided to come back after our Snowdon hike the next day to try the calamari. When we arrived we realized that the outdoor area which attracted us was not part of the Royal Oak which was the first letdown of our visit. We were seated quickly by a very friendly waitress who was attentive to our needs and the service was fast. The restaurant was quiet at 5pm with only a few tables being filled. The decor was beautiful and quirky which was lovely but it was let down by the food. The food was not bad perse but it was not what we hoped or expected. Having previously been to Dylan's and Lake Vyrnwy hotel and Spa for the Calamari we were perhaps spoiled on those visits. The Calamari at the Royal Oak was so disappointing, the batter fell off, it was slightly chewy and pitifully small portions. There was more salad than there was calamari, while the salad was nice it was not what we ordered or expected with Calamari. For the main course we had a burger and the lamb. The burger was great - really meaty and lovely crispy bacon, fries were delicious and crispy and the coleslaw was so creamy. We couldn't fault the burger. The lamb was fine along with the vegetable that came with it and the sauce was tasty. However, it came with potato dauphinois which was not at all creamy or cheesy, it was dry and too crispy on top (almost burnt id say). When I asked the waitress about it she told me that is how they always come out but that she would ask the chef. When she came back she told us that one chef agreed it should be creamy and the other had said that it is how it should be. I was offered another but told it would be exactly the same so refused the offer. I was disappointed as this was part of the reason I chose the lamb and not many places offer it. In view of all of the above, I would not come back here again and can see why it was not a busy restaurant. The waitress was the best part of the visit and that's not really why you eat out at restaurants though it can make or break your visit I think.

I've had two stays recently at the Royal Oak hotel in Betws-y-Coed. Both were faultless. Staff were helpful, courteous and professional; the food was good quality and quantity (just what you need after a day's hiking); and the room and bathroom were of a high standard. Of the staff, Aga and others were first class. All in all, a very positive experience all round, thank you.

Sam Assitant Manger helped us find our Cottage as we arrived after a long day and realised it was a fair walk with all our luggage as on foot. We walked in for help and we got it many times over.Not only did Sam take us to the cottage as it had a steeper verge than we realised and picked us up. Cerys greeted us with the warmest hug as we were extremely tired. We had an AMAZING Sunday Roast here and the beef was so tender. We stayed here on our last night and i slept the best I have all week. Lovely compfy bed and dreamy pillows and exceptionally clean . Made our trip away so much better. Your staff are all a credit to you. The lovely girls who served us Sunday Roast to the Chef who prepared it . The lovely gentleman who carried up our luggage ro tge Housekeeping team who do a wonderful job. And for the loveliest breakfast this morning before we set off home. Your team are Golddust.

We had a lodge room in the stables for two adults and a teenager .. plenty big enough for one night and the sofa bed was comfortable enough . Room however was incredibly dark with small windows … in addition trying to work the shower was challenging and didn’t find the advice given by reception on telephone ‘ give it a bit of a tug ‘ helpful as the cover had already fallen off once .. got it going in end and it was lovely once working . Didn’t eat there so can’t comment but the restaurant outside was packed and people looked to be having a good time as there was a singer( use the term loosely !!) on until after ten which meant we couldn’t get a particularly early night as it was incredibly noisy . However when we did sleep it was very restful I’d probably say it’s a tad overpriced for what it is.

The hotel rooms were immaculate and the housekeeping services were excellent . My husband and I were on a tour and the group stayed here for several days. My one concern was that the food offered at dinner was basically the same only with different titles. This was tiresome

We had a very tasty and very reasonably priced lunch recentely. There were 3 children and one adult who had a children's meal! which was a great portion. The hotel has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. Well done all, we'll be back very soon.
