I stayed here for a few days back in June and really enjoyed it:

Location - excellent; beautiful spot and very handy for exploring North Wales.
Accom - had a lovely, comfy, quiet, clean room. No aircon but most of the year that doesn't matter!
Building - very old place but I doubt its really Wales's oldest pub.
Food - hefty portions and very enjoyable.
Service - very friendly.

Its a JW Lees pub. I'd not come across them before - a small family owned chain apparently. I should have tried their place in Chester (see my reviews on two places I visited in that city!) I tried three of the Lees ales (one dressed up 'Dragon' or something like that) and enjoyed them all - well kept and varying styles too.

Recommended.

I dont think they want drinkers here just wealthy diners, not a pub

Award winning pub. A bit on the dear side, but very good food and dog friendly and had the feel of atrdaitioanl pub. The "red" bitter, which I think was called Great Welsh was 4.1%, and went down well. They also had another ale called Orme, and a selection of bottles which I understand are from the family brewery.
Easy to find on the Conwy to Betws y Coed road, and big car park and beer garden.

Oldest licenced pub in Wales- 1573. It's two miles south of Conwy and worth the trip. It looks deceptively tiny and the walls are covered with ivy, a nice touch. I wouldn't agree that it was a gastro pub as that always suggests a modern ambience to me, and it is possible to just come in for a drink. Having said that, it is food-led as many country pubs now are. The ambience is certainly old-fashioned and is fantastic. Real fires, low beams, stone walls and a low ceiling as well as lots of brasses, mugs and items from the pub's history adorn the walls. Awards aren't for nothing, the food is fantastic and reasonably priced for the portions. Beer now comes from the family brewery across the river- Groes Ale and Orme Best. They were both very quaffable, but London prices at �3.20. I can pay that for good beer in a great environment, but it's borderline outrageous. The service is very friendly. Not to be missed if you want good food and good beer in a fantastic historic setting.
