Set in Harlech, the Y Branwen Hotel is a warm and welcoming family-run business. Overlooking Harlech Castle and the gateway to the Snowdonia National Park, this Welsh country house hotel is something out of a fairytale book. In keeping with the theme, the restaurant offers a classic dining experience with elegant French windows that allow the sunlight by day while dimming the room with candlelight by night.The service is exceptionally attentive and guests feel welcome to linger on for as long as they please.

The menu is varied and the food, interesting with seasonal, local produce freshly prepared by talented and experienced chefs. Go for the local Welsh pork and leek sausages with creamed mashed potato, Thai fishcakes with mixed leaves and finish with the summer berry fruit pudding. It's hard to go wrong with the menu, so pick your indulgence carefully and save the rest for future visits. Though perfect for romantic getaways, Y Branwen really will not disappoint for any and every occasion.
