Glanwydden, British, Traditional Restaurant Guide

2023 Review: In the “stylish National Trust-owned surroundings” of this Grade I-listed seventeenth-century manor house on the outskirts of town – run these days as a spa hotel – this dining room is notable for its reliable standards, although it is “not adventurous in any way”, and the formality can make for a “slightly stuffy atmosphere” for some tastes. Unless you have a major appetite, you do “need to decide between afternoon tea and dinner” – both would be a stretch!

Comfortable “well-situated” pub with “lovely views”, a “pleasant ambience” and a “decent menu that has something for everyone” – part of the well-run Brunning and Price stable, its old furniture and book-lined dining rooms add an air of relaxation.
