Maenan Abbey Hotel

Not sure where other reviews came from but we actually stayed here. On arrival the first impression was wow.On first entering the hotel it was still wow. That's where it ended. The man who greeted us wasn't very helpful.On inspection the decor looked like someone who isn't a decorator did the work throughout. Was told it had been updated 4 years before so must had looked like this for 4 years. Owner/manager seemed more interested in his laptop. Bedroom 🤔please don't get me started on that (dirty & toenail clipping over floor 🤮).Bathroom flooring was dreadful. Widow was filthy & as.for the wallpapering let the pictures tell.the story. Such a shame the owner must be doing this as a hobby rather than a business.

We’ve just come me back from 5 nights in Maenan Abbey and we’ve had a great time Don’t be put off by some negative reviews, it’s an old building and not the sleek modern hotel you may be used to but we’ve had the best time there The staff are so welcoming and we have had some great laughs with David the owner, he’s a character and our dog Sage loved him, speaking of which dogs are very welcome at the hotel although can’t go in the dining room but we are in the bar was fine The garden is beautiful and although there’s a main road it’s secluded The food is very good and we ate in the hotel a couple of nights and thoroughly enjoyed it, breakfast too is good For a location it’s perfect, you’re a quick drive to Betwys y Coed and Conwy. It’s pretty central for all the best places to see, very close to the zip wire We would visit David and Co again

Please don’t be put off by the negative reviews - I nearly was and we had a wonderful stay. It’s an old beautiful building, full of character inside and out so of course it won’t be immaculate. The staff were so friendly and genuinely cared about your stay. We ate in the restaurant and it was delicious. Huge menu with proper restaurant quality food. We stayed in room 9 and it’s the best family room we’ve ever had - there was actually a door between the super king bed and two singles. We usually have a sofa bed in family rooms so this was a very welcome surprise. Thanks so much for our lovely stay.

Lovely room at first glance but soon spotted a variety of creatures crawling on the floor, walls and skirting boards. The tissue box had only two tissues in it but we killed them with toilet paper. There were hair grips on the floor together with a hairbrush so we suspected the room had not been cleaned. On a plus side there was a whirlpool bath but sadly there was no hot water to go with it so we washed in cold and went to bed. What was unacceptable was being woken at 12.50 with woodlice on and in the bed. We mentioned all this at breakfast, which was lovely, and the lady promised she would arrange for the owner, David, to telephone us. We also emailed our findings to the hotel. David didn't ring, so after a week I telephoned the hotel, spoke to him and re-directed the email as requested. To date we have heard nothing. We knew on booking that the bathroom was due a re-fit. We accepted that and the price paid was reduced to 'only' £250 for the one night. The toilet brush was disgusting. It's such a shame for what on first sight looks a lovely hotel.

I took my partner for a two night stay here. Building grounds are beautiful. The inside is a little tired and needs a little bit of TLC, but David the owner was exceptional. His attention was outstanding. Breakfast was lovely. Chatted to the Scottish guy who served breakfast and the new DIY bloke - such lovely people. We really enjoyed our two night stay and cannot wait to go back. Thank you from Derek and Angie xx

Excellent meal good quality at a very reasonable price.Staff so attentive and professional.Beautiful old building.Thank to David for a lovely day . Would highly recommend for a Sunday lunch or special occasion.Abbey set in a beautiful area of the Coney valley .

Excellent stay, warm welcome and amazing food. David made us feel very welcome and looked after us. The abbey has a lot of character and a wow factor! We loved the family room and it relaxed in the very grand sitting room after dinner. My only regret is that we had only booked for one night - will book for longer next time! Thank you for a lovely stay. And a shout out to the charming and helpful lady who couldn’t do enough for us at breakfast.

We ate here twice over the Christmas period, we are local and we eat here on special occasions. The manager/owner here is a lovely person and is an animal lover, he always gives a welcoming chat to all visitors, very professional and treats his staff like family. When we ate here on New Years Day it was a 3 course set menu choice for £24.95 including coffee and mince pies. There were 4 of us and it was no trouble for them to plate up a takeaway for our son who was back from Uni but at home “not feeling very well” (hangover!). I had the soup to start with then the beef- it was delicious. They have had the same head chef here for years and he is one of the best in North Wales. Always amazing food here. Everyone enjoyed their food and they have a lovely room to retreat to to take your coffee.

Bed was uncomfortable.. Shower couldn't be regulated, it went from scalding hot to cold. The TV wasn't programed into any channel. The toilet didn't always flush . Back of the wardrobe was falling off. Hot water tap broken and the sink had a very big crack on it that had been kind of mended. Curtains were hanging off the rail in places. Don't use the salt sellars at breakfast. I will try and post a picture of the one that was on our table.
