Why have I not been here before now??? Loved every second of our all too brief stay here this wet and miserable December weekend. Cosy, welcoming, well styled country boutique hotel, serving well executed, extremely good food.|The cocktails deserve their own mention - all infused on site by the extremely talented Maria - all perfectly balanced.|I was impressed by the coffee (Wrexham bean coffee) available in the bedrooms - a really nice “local” touch (as well as a good cup of coffee)|Dinner was served with great service, each course was just wonderful. |The breakfast was in a league of its own, offering a tasting menu with dishes made up of locally sourced ingredients. Just wow. We were the last to leave the dining room…

At Tyddyn Llan we paused the years, To mark five-and-twenty, warm and true, With Annette, me, and Loki too, A perfect weekend, shared by few. The first night’s feast, à la carte, Each dish a joy, refined, complete, Then ten bright courses the next eve, A tasting tale both bold and sweet. The kitchen sang in measured grace, No note astray, no hurried art, Each plate arrived with quiet pride And left a smile upon the heart. The staff were kindness finely tuned, Attentive, gracious, never near, They read the room as poets do, And served with warmth both calm and clear. Our room was space and comfort crowned, With all one needs and nothing more, Save that grand shower pure delight A rushing close we still adore.

We spent a special birthday weekend here & we enjoyed every aspect of our stay.|We stayed in a beautiful, comfortable room overlooking the garden. |We were lucky enough to experience the amazing 10 course taster menu. |My husband enjoyed the wine pairing & all the staff were attentive, professional & knowledgeable.|Every mouthful was delicious, a non stop taste extravaganza & we enjoyed every course. Possibly one of the best meals we’ve ever had!|Breakfast was equally impressive, creative & delicious.|Overall it was a truly outstanding experience & we can’t wait to return.

So this is my first time at Tyddyn Llan! I've heard and know of this restaurant! Now it is run by a chef called Gareth Stevenson! When Gareth was the head chef at Pelé Hall It was in my plans to visit that place to try out his food ! Then obviously he left there, but his did a small skint at Docket, then he headed here..|So I was glad that he wasn't that far away to travel, to try out his food.|Tyddyn is literally out in the sticks 'countryside.. sadly, we came in October, so when we got there, we couldn't see what the scenery was like turning up..|But the plan is to come back in the 6|So as we entered the building, we sat next to a nice roaring fire! We ordered a drink, chilled for a bit, and some canapés came to us, which was a Potato Hash Brown and Liver Parfait Tart! The Hash Brown was banging good ! That one was the best one, tho the Liver Parfait was good as well ...|So next we were taken to our table to start the taster menu!|So first to come out was Crackers & Guacamole!|Crackers to So good ! And I'm not really a fan of Guacamole.. |But I did like this with the Crackers.|Next was the bread! Brilliant bake and bread! We had two types of butter! Cultured Butter & Bake potato butter! The bake potato one was so special ! Well done for that one!!|Next was a hand Dived scallop with Thai Green Curry. |The Scallop was literally lovely cooked to perfection! And it was a massive one as well! The Thai Green Curry was just right that didn't overpower the flavour of the sweet Scallop.|Next was Seared Duck Liver!|Now I like Liver Parfait! But I'm not a fan of liver on its own!|So I was looking forward to seeing what was going to be put in front..|So on the plate with it was apple, black pudding & Hazelnut..|All I can say is !! Ho my God! That liver is absolutely delicious ! If the liver tasted like that all the time, I would eat it every day & night! It was like butter! and with all the other elements, it elevated the whole dish! This was one of my favourite dishes of the year!! |Next was tuna with Crisps! Tuna was soft, and all the other element's was good with it.. tho I do think that it was too much tuna!! And wasn't enough Crisps with it.. you could definitely take away some of the tuna !|Next up was tortellini stuffed with my favourite squash, the crown prince! Pasta was cooked to perfection! With dots of black garlic for a bit of bitterness, delicious all round..|Next was this fish course, and that was John Dory! Now, with all the restaurants I visit, I've never had John Dory before. I'm so glad this was on the menu! This fish was cooked just right. It came with sand carrot, which was sweet as hell! The sauce was perfect for this fish... 👌 |So, for the main was Welsh Black Beef Fillet and Celeriac with Maitake Mushroom..|The beef was literally like eating butter! So soft and so cooked spot-on! Celeriac was delicious, and there was a potato terrine, which was crispy! The sauce had powerful flavours and made you lick your lips! Brilliant main..|Of after the main was a cheese course! Not one of them boring and bog standard ones you get in most restaurant's! This one was |Isle of Wight Blue, port baked fig, and a fig roll...|Now this is my type of cheese course I love! The fig roll is great. Take on one ! The cheese itself was amazing!|Now for the Pre-dessert!|Which amazed me that those flavours worked together! Blackcurrant Leaf and Celery! Now, it might sound strange, but it literally works in harmony together! And it was light and refreshing! Definitely cleaned the palate ! I'm definitely going to try and make this myself sometime next year!! |And for the main dessert was|64% Manjari chocolate tart with Lemon Condiment & crème fraîche...|Great way to finish off the night!! So decadent and rich! With the delicious condiments that all worked with the tart!|Then, not forgetting the petit Fours, which was a grand and fine selection of treats..|So want is my thought of Tyddyn Llan?|Was it worth the travel to ? 100% YES.. the food was spot-on, and every dish was perfect! Flavours made you want to come back again ! And that is what I'll be doing sometime in the summer! |All the staff was friendly and the wine paring was good !!|Tyddyn Llan had a bright future with cooking like that ! |Get yourselves a visit. won't be disappointed...

Tyddn Llan is well worth visiting. It is a small, friendly country house hotel with a restaurant serving outstanding food. We spent three nights there on a dinner, bed and breakfast package. Throughout that time our experience was very good. Our room was well appointed, comfortable and quiet. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and hard working. The food is of the highest standard and is comparable in taste and presentation to the Michelin-starred restaurants we have known. There are lovely gardens. We can strongly recommend.

The place is delightful , recently renovated with modern touches. The color palate of the rooms and the decors are very relaxing . Very beautiful atmosphere.|The garden surrounding the property is very beautiful and well maintained. It also has a fountain with Koi fishes. |Chef Gareth has amazing culinary skills and we enjoyed the 10 course dinner immensely. Ms Maria the manager was very hospitable and warm and attentive |I highly recommend this gem of a place to come and detox , far from the madding crowd.

We had a brilliant evening at Tyddyn Llan - everything was delicious. Everyone was really friendly and they catered for an allergy and were really helpful. A really beautiful meal for a special occasion.

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.
