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!

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!
