Location & Grounds
Craig-Y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel sits on 16 acres of woodland grounds directly on the banks of the River Conwy.

Most rooms have views of the Conwy Valley or the flowing river, and some rooms include a private balcony with a hot tub. Standard rooms are spacious and well-appointed, while Garden Lodge rooms offer separate accommodation in the grounds. The hotel provides robes, slippers, and fresh milk in all rooms.
Pet-Friendly Facilities
Dogs are welcome in guest rooms and receive a welcome pack that includes bedding and dog snacks. The hotel provides pet bowls, towels to dry off wet paws, and a large paddock for walking. Guests with dogs dine in a separate section of the restaurant to minimise disruption.

“Craig-Y-Dderwen Riverside Hotel cultivates a profound sense of tranquility, largely due to its stunning riverside setting and meticulously tended gardens. The warmth of the staff, particularly Michelle, creates a genuinely welcoming atmosphere, making the exceptional meals, especially the local lamb, feel like an extension of that hospitality. It's a place that encourages you to linger, soaking in the peaceful ambiance and the picturesque views.”
