"A friendly welcome to the property. Although nowhere in the village to eat in the evening, we were recommended a restaurant 5 minute drive away in Corwen.
Straightforward continental breakfast in the morning available.
As the pub shut at 10pm, there was no late night noise so enjoyed a good night's sleep. A great base for exploring the area."

"The room was very large and clean as was the bathroom. But it felt cosy. The staff at the pub were incredibly nice and helpful. It was a very nice, comforting stay with good food."

Excellent food.

Great value stop over when travelling north through Wales. We were looking for a family room for one night and could see that it was a busy weekend with very little availability across north Wales. Plas Coch was available, great price and decent big room for the three of us. Ok, so it could do with a lick of paint and a polish in a few places but it was clean, well situated and the staff were helpful in helping us park.
Perfect for our needs, thank you.

Nice and friendly staff. Lovely lodge, which makes it feel more private, in a lovely place.
Good breakfast too. Loads of good walks straight from the hotel.

This was our second stay in this hotel and we are planning to stay here in the future when we are on our next holiday in Snowdonia. Amazing location, plenty of parking, welcoming staff, great breakfast, clean room and bathroom (!!!), short walk to the village centre. TVs are on the smaller side but we did not come here to watch TV. Electric cars can be charged nearby. We had a great time!

Wonderful stay! Accommodation was very clean, well equipped and lovely and warm after a day walking in the rain! Food was great and staff very attentive. Wonderful views, very peaceful and the cabana was a bit different which the kids loved especially going up the ladder to bed.

First time staying here and won't be the last, its in a tiny little village, the building is 250 years old but they have made it look modern inside but not taken away the character of the building, we stayed here in the evening for a meal which was 10/10 and came out fast. The breakfast was great only minor issue was we didn't want black pudding and we got it, There isn't a car park for the hotel but there is a long stay car park by the rugby club which is a short walk away, The staff were all...

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Tilman again. It was a return trip after a similarly excellent visit last year. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Room was immaculate and very comfortable. Location was perfect. 10/10!!

A lovely pub/ hotel, with very friendly staff, excellent food, although the portions were way too large for me. A very comfortable room with stunning views, lots of tea, coffee and water in the room. It is a bit isolated but the drive through the valley is very scenic

This is a lovely hotel. The accommodation was excellent. We had the Cadair Suite. The food was amazing. We booked an evening meal and my only regret was I couldn’t manage a desert. Breakfast was outstanding. All the staff were exceptional. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and family.
