Tyddyn Llan

We have just returned from a 2 night stay and will definitely be returning next year. We had a 10 course taster one night and 6 course taster the second night and the food was amazing and presented exquisitely. The five course breakfast was equally as impressive. The wine we were recommended really complimented the food we were eating. The service was really attentive and you really were made to feel special and nothing was too much trouble. It was fine dining and drinking but not stuffy at all. There was a lovely log fire to sit by which we were thankful for as arrived during the weekend storms. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Had an absolutely fab stay at Tyddn Llan recently. From the historic character of the building to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, we had the most amazing experience. We had the 10-course tasting menu for dinner and were blown away by the creativity and thought that Chef Gareth puts into every course. The wait staff were also all so lovely and attentive throughout the meal. Huge shout-out to Emily for sharing her expertise for each wine pairing and her great storytelling! Her extensive knowledge and warm demeanour really enhanced the experience. Overall staff are incredibly knowledgeable and kind, beds are very comfortable, and though it is a historic building, that didn’t detract from the stay, but really enhanced the overall feel and character. The grounds are also lovely and there are great walks nearby. If you’re thinking of staying in North Wales, I can’t think of a more beautiful or worthwhile place to eat and stay at!

This was our third visit since Gareth and the new team took over . We have thoroughly enjoyed each visit but each time it gets better and better. We started with a selection of delicious snacks, so creative and an excellent start to what was to follow . The 6 course menu was well balanced , creative, fresh and mouth watering delicious. The wine pairing was excellent value, fun and beautifully served by the lovely and excellent front of house Emily . The whole team are a delight. Thanks to you all.

I’ve been lucky-enough to eat food at the very top end, in many corners of the world, and today’s meal has been right there with the highest accolades: top drawer. The food was designed and executed to such a high standard… We all struggled to pick favourites, with courses rated 10/10 by everyone at the table. Personal favourite was the fish course. We’ve all been here before, so it’s great to see the new team superseding the already high standards set by the previous ownership! Thanks!

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.

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!

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.

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 .

Not as good as we were expecting for the expensive prices. All the staff was lovely and nice, but not as detailed as they should be for a Michelin one star restaurant. We were seated in a pretty outside porch setting for our 1st round of drinks and 4 complementary nibbles - which were very good. However, the table had an ugly smashed and smelly cigar butt in the ashtray with it's wrapper. By the fourth time a server came by to attend to us without noticing it, we finally asked if they would take it away. We ordered a bottle of Bordeaux, but they brought two glasses with wine already poured in them - didn't know what to make of that. So 1/2 hour later we're invited inside to our table. Then they bring an unopened bottle of Bordeaux. We didn't want to consume more than one bottle of wine for the evening, so we explained that we had ordered a full bottle of wine beginning with our 1st drink order. So they opened the bottle and poured 2/5 of it out before bringing it to the table. I don't know - maybe it was a lost in translation thing, but it seemed an awkward way of doing things - and left us wondering if we got to have a full bottle as we had ordered. The bread basket was good and plentiful - and the butter was exceptional. Our 1st course was grilled scallops / and cured beef over greens and shaved parmesan. Both were excellent. There was a complimentary middle course of watercress soup which was exceptional. 2nd course was Pigeon with really nice local mushrooms and beans. The sauce was really good and so were the veggies - but the Pigeon was very tough. It tasted good (and gamey which was expected), but the toughness was surprising. The other dish was rack of local lamb, and was perfect. They ask served us a dish of creamy scalloped potatoes which were just ok. One of our servers poured the last bit of wine in our glasses, but he actually left some wine in the bottle and walked away with it. Maybe he's trained to hold back on the last ounce of wine so the sediment doesn't get in the glass - but it wouldn't have bothered us in the least, so we felt we lost out on even more wine of the 25 £ (about $39) bottle. We passed on the dessert course, so can't comment on that. The fake, cheesy, battery operated table candles were a little surprising for such a nice place too. All in all, not sure it was worth the 115 £ plus the service/gratuity we left. We would have expected better attention to detail back home in the States for these kind of prices.
