Breakfast is served each morning in the conservatory and features fresh local ingredients, with dishes like the Full Welsh Breakfast called The Conviction and The Appeal (scrambled egg and smoked salmon).

“The Courthouse excels with its meticulously clean rooms, many featuring attractive spa baths and comfortable furnishings, all situated in a quiet yet incredibly central location near Betws-y-Coed's amenities and the river.
