Poolside

Though there isn’t a large swimming pool at Ffynnon, the outdoor hot tub, housed in the hotel’s lovely gardens, more than makes up for it. Reserve a session when you check in, and take some champagne and strawberries to enjoy in the steam.

Children

Kids are made incredibly welcome at the hotel, and baby cots are provided free of charge. Extra beds can be put into rooms for £25 a night, and a free babysitting service is also available. There’s also a children’s play area outside.

Also

If it’s wet outside – and, remember, this is North Wales so there’s a good chance it will be – there’s a great selection of card and board games for you to borrow in the guest lounge.

In the know

Our favourite rooms

We love the ultra-romantic ‘Sydney’, which comes with a beautiful slipper bath and a king-size bed that’s dominated by a gothic headboard. However, you’re bound to be happy with whichever room you choose – all are sumptuously decorated and equipped with all the modern touches you’d expect. Beds come with cosy Welsh blankets, and there’s even a pillow menu provided, so you can ensure a well-rested head.

Packing tips

Don’t forget your swimwear. It might not sound like the most obvious thing to bring to North Wales, but you’ll be kicking yourself if you have to stay out of the outdoor hot tub because of a lack of lycra.

Also

Ffynnon’s in-house spa offers a full range of beauty treatments, including facials, manicures, pedicures, massages and aromatherapy sessions.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

There isn’t a restaurant at Ffynnon, though the hotel prides itself on its breakfasts made with local produce, served in the guest lounge, which include eggs benedict with smoked salmon, Glamorgan sausages with spicy tomato chutney and crempogau (Welsh pancakes) served with bacon or fruit compote.

Dress code

Not too scruffy, not too sexy.

Last orders

Breakfast is served till 10am, while the honesty bar is locked at 11pm.

Room service

A selection of filled paninis, homemade soups or a Welsh cheese platter are all available between 6pm and 10pm.

Hotel bar

Residents can help themselves from a wide selection of drinks, including local Pen-Lon beers, in the guest lounge honesty bar – made from an old gramophone chest. Sit and sip amid the well-chosen antique and modern furnishings to a laid-back Gershwin and classical soundtrack.
