Outstanding food and friendly service. The hotel and restaurant have recently come under new management. We stayed the night and had a very comfortable room with an en-suite bathroom. The dinner and breakfast were both outstanding. We had the 10 course taster menu. Every course was delicious and the portion sizes just right. The service was also excellent. The hotel restaurant is situated in beautiful countryside and has attractive gardens. The dining room has recently been renovated. - 12/10/24 

Innovative and delicious food in a lovely place We have been going to Tyddyn Llan for several years and had always enjoyed excellent food and service. Since Bryan & Susan’s retirement in July we have been back twice and , while the menu has changed significantly, the high standards continue.
The 6 course tasting menu was innovative and delicious as were the accompanying wines and service was professional & friendly. The newly renovated dining room is light & comfortable.
Look forward to our next visit! - 07/10/24 

Tired and dreary room, ok food The room was poor, dated and dreary with faded 80s type pictures on the walls. Bathroom needs a complete refurb and the removal of a strange sharp metal object on the wall that would pose a danger if you fell against it. Lounges are comfortable and very beige.
The food was ok on the whole but not exceptional and a couple of dishes just didn't work. The wine flight was well judged and value for money.
Service friendly and of a good standard.
Breakfast was good.
No atmosphere, just two other couples in a dining room that had clearly been updated but didn't appeal..all a bit clunky.
As it stands, it is not good value for money hopefully the new owners will address the need for a well judged refurbishment. - 06/10/24 

New owners. Refurbished dining room. Tasting menus outstanding both at dinner and breakfast. Comfortable overnight. A restaurant with rooms under new ownership. The dining room has been completely refurbished in a pleasant, airy, retro syle so older photos on Tripadvisor are now out of date. Went with family who had loved this place under previous owners and wanted to know if the food was still as good. It seems it is. We had the six-course tasting menu plus cheese board (at a supplement). Ten courses available, the same as six-course but with extras; six courses was actually plenty for us and we wouldn't have managed ten. Main course a choice of beef or lamb; what I enjoyed most was the fish course - cod, perfectly cooked. We also greatly enjoyed the canapes (especially the little sweet-savoury 'jammy dodgers') and the petits fours, served in the lounge (actually three lounges, interconnecting, very comfortably furnished so just lounging around was one of the highlights). Very extensive wine list; something for everyone I imagine. Breakfast next morning a five-course tasting menu, likewise exquisite. Allow time to enjoy this; no breaks in the service but we were at breakfast a full 90 minutes, solidly munching, and later skipped lunch. Served in an unusual order, granola with yoghurt and berry compote first (gorgeous), then sourdough toast and preserves, then smoked trout (wonderful), salami and goat cheese, then finally the full Welsh fry-up (in which the black pudding was outstanding). Open to non-residents for dinner and Sunday lunch but if you are staying overnight the dinner, bed and breakfast rate offers a discount on dinner. Husband and I had room 2, old-fashioned but clean and comfortable and a good size; bathroom likewise old-fashioned but with solid quality sanitaryware. Tub with shower over. The other family members had an annex room with separate rear entrance; said their bathroom was more modern. The extensive gardens are lovely with fine views, seating here and there and a formal pond with koi. Highly recommended. The food is simply wonderful. For autumn 2024 only open Thursday to Sunday (inclusive) but some extra dates added around New Year. - 02/10/24 

Amazing Sunday Lunch My husband and I had a lovely Sunday Lunch here last weekend. The food was delicious and the staff were so proficient. We will definitely be booking again, next time with the whole family because we were so impressed with the whole experience. - 26/09/24 

Pob Lwc Tyddyn Llan We had happy memories of this new team who have taken on the mantle at T L from previous experience at another local establishment so we knew it would be good.A family day out finished off with traditional family roast. 3 courses duly enjoyed.Starters ranged from Curried Carrot Soup to Mackerel which seemed to be favoured on our table .The Mains choice of 2 Welsh Beef dishes , Lamb , Sea Bass or Vegetarian option.Dessert to follow try the Red Cherry dish it melts in your mouth. Staff attentive helpful and very friendly without being obtrusive. Did we all enjoy visit YES would we go again YES. Refurbishing and updating in sympathetic way to buildings history has begun it will be interesting to watch the team and establishment develop . - 02/09/24 

Oh dear. Oh dear. Change is inevitable but not always for the better. Front of house was somewhat chaotic and slow, the canapés arrived after we had finished our drinks but they were delicious even if one was described by our server as “ a beigey thing”. The food was rather like a curates egg - good in parts. The duck parfait for starter, again delicious but unfortunately one of our main courses was distinctly on the cool side as was the temperature in the lounge. Realise it is a new team, they really need to up their game to make Tyddyn Llan as welcoming as it used to be - 25/08/24 

What great start What a great new start, we stopped the night and had the 10 course tasting menu. The food is excellent and the menu is perfectly balanced and the portion sizing is great and not overwhelming. This is a new start and the they have started to change the decor room by room. But what is kept is the focus on local quality producers which shine through in the food. Would may have made an even digger impact if the dishes introduced when served focused on the producer also. The breakfast was in a tasting format and you could opt for all or just certain courses, we went form the all and it was great. Would highly recommend and will be back. - 12/08/24 

Fortunately a refurb is underway! We have driven past TL many times, but been put off by the rather dated photos on the website. When we learned that a new team was in place with changes afoot, we decided to book so that we could again sample the food of the kitchen team that we have previously enjoyed at another local hotel.
Most of the décor is still rather old-fashioned, but some areas have already been updated, giving an idea of how the modernisation will be in keeping with the surrounding countryside. During a wander around the extensive gardens, we found the fish pond was being cleaned. We came across a kitchen garden, but weren’t sure whether that was for the hotel or the house behind, presumably the chef’s.
Dogs are allowed in guest rooms and the grounds and I am very pleased that they are kept out of the public rooms. Not everyone is a dog lover and some we have encountered have almost caused accidents, as well as leaving hairs on furniture.
Our room was comfortable, with a large bathroom and plenty of storage, but a print of Derwentwater and two Buddhas seemed rather strange and out of place! Hopefully the bedrooms will soon be updated, especially the rather heavy bedspreads, which seem to be a feature. We’re looking forward to returning and seeing things evolve. - 10/08/24 

Wow! Contemporary, exciting and most importantly delicious We have visited many times and never been disappointed . As Brain and Susan retired we were delighted to learn that this beautiful restaurant with rooms had a new chef . Happily we able to eat and stay as part of the 'soft launch' , we were not disappointed . Such a treat of so many wonderful dishes by Gareth Stevenson and his small team in the kitchen.The amount of effort and thought that was put into each dish was very apparent . The 6 course menu was perfect for us and we thoroughly enjoyed the 5 course tasting breakfast menu . The location is so peaceful, the room immaculate as always and the front of staff are very professional and friendly . Service was excellent .. everything was excellent . What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday Evening/ Monday morning . - 29/07/24

A lovely establishment, beautiful rooms, and delicious food. - 03/04/24 

Here for the 8 course tasting menu plus the fantastic canapés you can nibble at whilst perusing the menus. There are a couple of choices for the main and 5 dessert options. A great team of staff on hand serving at whatever pace you wish for. All in all a delightful experience. Time spent there 2 1/2 hours. - 17/03/24 

Styled as a restaurant with rooms but much more. Check the website. Been going occasionally since 2007 and the standard has been maintained. Run by husband and wife Brian and Susan Webb who have the knack of making a visit special. - 12/03/24

Went for Sunday lunch with our two teens, food was lovely, portions huge and staff were great. It feels quite formal, but we were casually dressed and all was well. Thanks to all the staff for the delicious food, lovely surroundings and super service. - 17/08/23
