Unfortunately I was unable to properly experience the town and accommodation as I broke my wrist on the first evening on my way back to the property. Our host was very helpful and directed us to Bangor A&E. Hopefully will have the opportunity to go back.

Very impressed with Summer Hill, location was excellent right on the main walking routes and still close to town. Dave was welcoming, breakfast was lovely, room was clean and had everything we could have needed. Free parking was also a bonus - our room was spacious with a huge bathroom, really nicely decorated and the shower was amazing.

A lot of cobwebs in the room. No welcome pack, instructions, information in the room when we arrived which would have been useful when no staff around when we arrived. Breakfast choice was good, and despite the cobwebs, the room was clean and well appointed and we felt safe.

Second time staying here and will return. So calming and peaceful just tucked away from the hustle and bustle but just a short walk to the main part. Rooms are lovely, clean and beds are so comfy. Host is welcoming and informative and the breakfast provided is spot on.

Beautiful stay!

Beautiful guest house on a hill with parking at rear and just a short walk from the river and shops. Access from road or car park area via steps. Dave couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Breakfast was totally amazing, with lots to choose from as well as a full Welsh breakfast. I had home made granola, then omelette with goats cheese and drizzled with honey. Yum! I forgot to say, the bed was so comfy, I asked if I could take it home 😄 Lovely that Dave said we were welcome to sit in the garden. There was a choice of areas to sit, with beautiful planting and the relaxing sounds of the river below. Would thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic bb in a quiet part just off main street. A great base for exploring all that the area has to offer. We did Zip wire and Snowdon in the time we had. Rooms spotless and very comfortable with a great shower. Lovely guess lounge and really nice breakfast room with and excellent breakfast. Loved the homemade baked beans. Dave is a fantastic house, very welcoming, friendly. We wouldn't look anywhere else when staying in Betwys Y Coed now we found Summer Hill. Thanks Jo and Roy.
