My wife and I travelled from Australia in late may 2025 to come and see Simple Minds perform in there home town of Glasgow. We planned a 5 week holiday travelling around England, Wales and Scotland. We stayed at Bryn Derwen in Conwy on June 11 for 2 nights. Andrew and Gill were so friendly and welcoming, and Andrew cooked us the best breakfasts we had on the trip. The accomodation was beautiful, the garden was blooming, the sun was shining and our view of the castle and country side was stunning, we found it hard to leave. The location is perfect as well with easy walking distance to Conwy town centre. Our stay was one of the many highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Bryn Derwen whwn travelling through North Wales.
Last minute 1 night stay. Hosts were very welcoming. The room was absolutely spotless. Our breakfast was fantastic and the hosts catered for Coeliac, great Gluten Free options available. 10/10 would recommend.
We loved this beautifully immaculate guest house. Our room was just amazing with such a fantastic view. The bed was very comfortable and the en-suite was spotless. We also enjoyed the breakfast and the owners were pleasant! Thanks
A wonderful experience and would highly recommend. My room was spotlessly clean with generous toiletries and refreshments supplied. Super comfy bed and great choice at breakfast. Was also very kind of them to pack me up a breakfast as I had to leave early. Great service.
My partner and I really enjoyed our stay at this guest house. Rooms were immaculately done and had everything you needed in terms of amenities. The cooked breakfast was very nice both days. Good selection on the continental style. Short walk to Conwy which was a really pretty place. Definitely would stay here again.
The hosts made us feel very welcome. Our room at the top was spacious, and had everything we needed. The view was to the mountain, green valley and the castle. Breakfast was delicious, made to order. I thoroughly recommend it as a place to stay, to explore historic Conwy.
Stayed in a top floor room that was spacious and very nicely decorated. Extremely friendly service, great breakfast, easy walk to Conwy Castle and town. Highly recommend as long as you are ok with stairs and being on a fairly steep hill.
Really enjoyed our two night stay... Great walkable location to the castle and town. Clean and tidy rooms. Great breakfasts as well very pleasant environment and fine service overall.
