Glan - Conwy

Much better inside than out, the staff are friendly and efficient with good food at a reasonable price.

We were just wandering around Betwys and wanted somewhere to stop for a cup of tea etc and didn't want a fast food or posh type, full meal restuarant. This cafe is right at the end of the road, away from the main row of restuarants and wouldn't normally be an obvious choice. There are a couple of tables outside but a lot more at the side and back. There is not a great choice of food but lots of snacks and cakes and the sausage rolls were very good. The service was good and it was a comfortable place to sit and eat rather than the crowded, overpriced fast food places or the up themselves, overrated yuppy type establishments along the main row of eateries. I would certainly recommend this as a cup of tea and sausage roll type of cafe, reasonable prices and good, friendly service.

We were looking for a meal without any planning and found the two steak meals for £20 an interesting prospect, the food turned out to be, cooked as requested, reasonably well presented, perhaps a little lacking in atmosphere, but that was not a big issue. The offer was good value and seemed to be very popular.

We have stayed here often over the years and recently. I have always managed to book a hostel room at the rear of the hotel with breakfast included, before exploring Snowdonia. The evening meals we had were hot well presented and reasonably priced. It was busy, and we were eating at a very small round bar type table which was not ideal. The food/drinks and service were very good. A major booking factor is the free parking at the rear of the hotel, and access to the hotels restaurant/bar areas, even if you are in the hostel accomodation. Pleasant visit and polite service, a good experience.

We were made to feel welcome and enjoyed a lunchtime drink with good company and chatty bar staff. Will definitely return.
