The Castle Hotel, Conwy
The Castle Hotel, an old coaching inn, stands on the site of a Cistercian abbey and used to consist of two famous hostelries, The Castle and the 15th Century King's Head. The Castle was by far the larger and in more recent times has had an attractive face lift of local granite and Ruabon brick and is now one of Conwy's most photographed buildings.
The Hotel has 29 bedrooms including a very grand, ornately carved four poster bed, dated 1570. This originally belonged to the Wynne Family who were the major landowners in Elizabethan times and their town house of that time, 'Plas Mawr', is a few doors up the High Street. All rooms have private bathroom, TV, telephone, hairdryer, trouser press and tea & coffee making facilities.
The hotel's location in the centre of Conwy, close to the quay and the ancient castle makes it the perfect place to rest when visiting the numerous places of interest within the Medieval walled town. You can be sure you will not be alone as visitors and locals alike find sanctuary in the cosy bar and in inclement weather, in front of the warm fire.
The Hotel also makes an interesting and unusual location for business functions offering excellent conference, meeting and corporate entertaining for up to 50 people. A range of activities such as sailing, horse riding, cycling, walking and golf can be arranged and built into a company's event or individual leisure break package.
One of the main reasons so many guests return to 'The Castle' is because of the food. Graham, Head Chef and partner to the Lavin family, is Captain of the Welsh Culinary Team. In the team in the kitchen, Graham has two extremely talented young chefs working with him. Phil Green is Second Chef and a very able deputy for Graham. Phil was runner up in the 'Junior Welsh Chef of the Year' contest in 2001. At the same event, Third Chef, Paul Hearn, won Best Junior in 'live competitions'.
