Set in the heart of the Snowdonia National Park, originally owned by Baron Gwydir and then the Earl of Ancaster, Elen's Castle Hotel was once an 18th century coaching inn. Whilst retaining its historical charm and many original features, it is now a fully modernised hotel in a peaceful, village setting away from the crush of tourists. Our rooms are all ensuite, have a beverage tray, hairdryer, TV and room service is available. Some rooms have fantastic views of the Lledr River and valley.
You can dine in our Siabod Restaurant which offers hearty, home-cooked dishes prepared with local produce complimented by our extensive wine list, or simply relax with a drink next to the wood-burning stove in our quaint bar.
Set in a picturesque valley overlooking the Lledr River famous for salmon and trout (we have fishing rights to the river). An ideal base for walkers, mountain-bikers, climbers and those wishing to envelope themselves in the peace, tranquility and splendour of the Snowdonia National Park.
The surrounding area is particularly good for castles and outdoor activities, whether you are looking for dramatic high peaks or beautiful riverside rambles. Plan your day's activities using the extensive selection of maps and books in our guests' lounge.
You can visit Elen's Well (Ffynnon Elen) which can be reached by path through the hotel garden. It is reputed to have healing properties! You are assured of the highest standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel.
