The Dragon - Conwy

As a B&B this is a great location. Right on the edge of Betws so very easy to walk in. Car parking right outside not sure if there are quite enough spaces for every room but it wasn't a problem when we were here. The other reviews are mixed I can see why. There's no reason not to come here though. The lady who runs it (front of house at least) is very nice and friendly. The room is clean and kept very warm a good thing when you're out all day getting wet. The breakfast is good can be a little slow (ok I couldn't cook breakfast for a dozen people that quickly either) but in my view breakfast on a stay away is a time to linger and chill anyway. Overall the room was comfortable, if a little cramped (especially the bathroom). For a weekend out on the hills it's great but I wouldn't call it a luxury stay. I don't think the restaurant was opening when we went otherwise we would have gone there in the evening. There's no doubt that it could do with a bit of maintenance, and the restaurant/reception area could do with tidying. I'd also like to see the Covid era signs for mask wearing removed. Move on! Nice enough yes I'd stay here again and I think they have the pricing right so its good value.

This b&b is very reasonably priced compared to many other places in the area. There is free parking available directly outside and we were always able to get a space. The reception area is a bit run down and untidy. The room we had was small but clean, despite the stained, badly fitted carpet. The flat screen television had a very good picture and included the basic channels. Lots of info in the room.There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room which was nice as well as a noisy hairdryer….the type where you have to keep your finger on it to keep it going and this one needed a lot of pressure so I wish I’d brought my own hairdryer! Shower was hot but hose was leaky. Bedding had a whiff of bleach about it. The rooms facing the road get all the traffic noise if the windows are open. Additionally the curtains are not blackout so the room stays very light as the street lighting shines in at night. Blackout curtains would make a huge difference. Breakfast is good and nicely laid out. You make your choice the day before and then it is cooked to order. Keys are on a large wooden key ring and in our case the front door key would not work for ages and ringing the doorbell brings no response in the evening. On departure the policy seems to be to leave your keys with room number written on the key ring on the reception desk( no key box) despite the nearby front door being wide open. If you have a problem do not expect a helpful response and any hint of concern, our experience is that it won’t happen. We would not stay here again but if you want a basic bed for the night and a good breakfast with amenities close by and a reasonable price this is the place. If you want a bit more comfort and a more upmarket environment then definitely go elsewhere and pay more.

Stayed at this B B for two nights. Staff work hard and keep the place spotless, but the rooms are very tired, shabby and urgently in need of re-decoration. Our TV remote not there, and although they tried to sort the following day, the problem was already known about, so feel that it should have been already replaced. Never got a new remote so never used the TV. Windows from rooms in annexe open onto narrow walkway used by other residents, so privacy a bit of an issue. Everything just felt a little bit sad . Restaurant has not been operating for some years, so the Hotel description needs changing to prevent misleading. We had originally anticipated having meal there on our first night, so had to re-plan, but there are good alternatives in the town within easy walking distance.

NO RESTRAUNTS OR BAR. Stayed over night great Bed Breakfast Comfortable great breakfast. Plenty of choice.

Stopped 2 nights, basic but very comfortable. Great breakfast, fry up all the cereals etc. Great selection. Great host and location
