1. Plas Glynllifon Mansion

12.2 km from Welsh Highland Railway

"The hotel is unlike anywhere I've ever stayed. It's a HUGE mansion that looks stunning when pulling up the drive, but then you notice some of the windows boarded up. However, for those want to stay somewhere VERY unusual and is up for a little adventure, then this Glynllifon is one of the most interesting and quirky places to stay. It's far from a 4-star hotel - but with significant investment, it could easily become one of the best hotels in the UK and therefore command significantly higher...

Top Welsh Highland Railway Hotel Reviews

The Royal Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a classic double room overlooking the car park so able to unlock car from window without having to go down for family members to pack/unpack items. Lovely quiet room, spacious, fantastic bed very comfortable and spacious ensuite. I did struggle with the door knob and also turning the shower on as getting arthritis in my fingers. Loved the bathmat, grab rails and easy taps on the sink. Could have done with a lighter duvet as very warm. Breakfast each morning was amazing and managed to sit in the conservatory bit on one morning. Ate in the Restaurant first night but husband found his lamb a bit chewy and cooked rare. Daughter ordered Gnocchi and meal was very small portion, she ended up having some of my seabass which was great. Puddings were lovely but quite pricey. Second night ate in the bar instead and enjoyed meals much more, steak and ale pie, beef burger and char grilled chicken which they cooked for me (not in the garlic butter sauce). Meals came very quickly and again different puddings but pricey. £100 each night for 3 adults without the cost of drinks. Great location though for Snowdon, two walked up and I got last ticket for the train. Amazing views from the window too of mountains. I would recommend."
