Hidden Gem or Duster Required
Hidden in the heart of Snowdonia, Elen’s Castle Hotel promises adventure, stunning views, and a warm welcome… but is it worth your pot o’ gold? 🍀
We Travelling Leprechauns checked in for a night, ready for a magical stay. Here’s what we found:
✅ Location – GOLD COIN! A dream spot for hikers & adventurers!
✅ Staff – GOLD COIN! Friendlier than a pub on St. Paddy’s Day!
✅ Facilities – GOLD COIN! Cosy, charming, and full o’ character!
✅ Comfort – GOLD COIN! Slept like a leprechaun on a pile o’ gold!
Cleanliness – OH DEAR… Dust be gatherin’ like it’s settlin’ in for winter!
£125 a night – Worth it or too dear for what ye get?
Would we stay again? Aye, but we’d pack a feather duster next time!

Great Accommodation with Great Service.
Really good service from the moment we arrived.
Offered to dry our soggy clothes from a snowdon trip and also kept the bar open as long as we wanted on the night.
Will definitely be back!

A perfect place to stay
Elen’s Castle Hotel proved to be the perfect place for a few days away in Wales. The Hotel was clean, tidy, Covid safe, welcoming and comfortable. The staff were very friendly! The food from the restaurant was amazing! There was a good choice and between us, a family of four and we ate there both nights we were there, every course was perfect! We will definitely be back - thank you!
