THE GUEST ROOMS

We’re a restaurant with rooms. A delightful collection of 12 individually-styled bedrooms, overlooking the hills.

The relaxed comforts of a high-quality hotel, with an essential family friendliness.

The relaxed comforts of a high-quality hotel, with an essential family friendliness.

CHANGING TIMES

Our restaurant with rooms has new owners. And a new culinary team.

TYDDYN LLAN'S NEW FACES

Gareth gained acclaim at nearby Palé Hall, when he opened the restaurant there with Michael Caines. During his seven years there, Gareth achieved and maintained three AA rosettes and was awarded the first Michelin Green Star in Wales. He has already shown his desire to support local producers and source quality ingredients, including the use of the kitchen garden when possible. This ethos and focus on sustainability will shine through the new cooking style at Tyddyn LLan, creating an exceptional and truly Welsh dining experience.

Joshua Morris, Welsh Chef of the Year 2024, is Gareth’s second in command, with Robin Evans also joining the senior kitchen team as Head Pastry Chef. To complete this experienced team, Gareth’s partner Maria, joins our current restaurant manager Torin, as front-of-house manager.

The team Gareth has brought to our ‘restaurant with rooms’, are well used to working together. They have experience and expertise gained from some of the UK’s finest starred establishments.

The menus have seen a significant change as dinner is now only tasting menus, to reduce waste and maintain quality. There is a choice of six or ten courses, including coffee and petits fours. The Sunday lunch menu is a more traditional, but equally delicious, three course offering. Our Dining Page has menus to entice you and give a flavour of what is on offer.

5 star rating Pob Lwc Tyddyn Llan We had happy memories of this new team who have taken on the mantle at T L from previous experience at another local establishment so we knew it would be good.A family day out finished off with traditional family roast. 3 courses duly enjoyed.Starters ranged from Curried Carrot Soup to Mackerel which seemed to be favoured on our table .The Mains choice of 2 Welsh Beef dishes , Lamb , Sea Bass or Vegetarian option.Dessert to follow try the Red Cherry dish it melts in your mouth. Staff attentive helpful and very friendly without being obtrusive. Did we all enjoy visit YES would we go again YES. Refurbishing and updating in sympathetic way to buildings history has begun it will be interesting to watch the team and establishment develop . - 02/09/24

4 star rating Fortunately a refurb is underway! We have driven past TL many times, but been put off by the rather dated photos on the website. When we learned that a new team was in place with changes afoot, we decided to book so that we could again sample the food of the kitchen team that we have previously enjoyed at another local hotel.
Most of the décor is still rather old-fashioned, but some areas have already been updated, giving an idea of how the modernisation will be in keeping with the surrounding countryside. During a wander around the extensive gardens, we found the fish pond was being cleaned. We came across a kitchen garden, but weren’t sure whether that was for the hotel or the house behind, presumably the chef’s.
Dogs are allowed in guest rooms and the grounds and I am very pleased that they are kept out of the public rooms. Not everyone is a dog lover and some we have encountered have almost caused accidents, as well as leaving hairs on furniture.
Our room was comfortable, with a large bathroom and plenty of storage, but a print of Derwentwater and two Buddhas seemed rather strange and out of place! Hopefully the bedrooms will soon be updated, especially the rather heavy bedspreads, which seem to be a feature. We’re looking forward to returning and seeing things evolve. - 10/08/24

5 star rating Wow! Contemporary, exciting and most importantly delicious We have visited many times and never been disappointed . As Brain and Susan retired we were delighted to learn that this beautiful restaurant with rooms had a new chef . Happily we able to eat and stay as part of the 'soft launch' , we were not disappointed . Such a treat of so many wonderful dishes by Gareth Stevenson and his small team in the kitchen.The amount of effort and thought that was put into each dish was very apparent . The 6 course menu was perfect for us and we thoroughly enjoyed the 5 course tasting breakfast menu . The location is so peaceful, the room immaculate as always and the front of staff are very professional and friendly . Service was excellent .. everything was excellent . What a fabulous way to spend a Sunday Evening/ Monday morning . - 29/07/24

5 star rating A wonderful dining experience A new young team are now running this restaurant set in a very attractive building and immaculate grounds.
I think we were there on the second weekend with the new team. We were thrilled to be there and had a wonderful time.
The food is excellent, there is a choice of a six course taster menu or a 10 course. We were there 2 nights so tried both. We loved every course and some were outstanding. Fantastic flavours and beautiful presentation. We went with the wine flights to accompany the food and found some thoughtful and very well paired wine.
Our bedroom was comfortable and spacious.
All the staff are helpful and friendly, some of the staff who have been there a while are struggling with the changes but all are trying their best to make the handover smooth.
Breakfast was an experience, again a taster menu. A little too much for me (quantity) so i cut out some courses on my second morning. But again fabulous food and quality ingredients.
My only gripe is that it's not dog friendly, dogs are only allowed in your bedroom and outside. Given that they have 3 lounges, a bar and a 2 room restaurant there is scope there for a bit of flexibility. Over time they might learn that dog owners enjoy weekends away in lovely settings too.
The new team have lots of plans for the restaurant. I wish them well and would love to return in a year and see what they have achieved. - 27/07/24

5 star rating Still a winner. Sunday Lunch visit. Charming venue, good parking, exellent hosting. Pre drinks in the bar with canapés, 3 courses in the dinning room, coffee and sweet treats. In the lounge. Decent portion sizes every course memorable. Great value. Good selection of affordable wines and drinks by bottle and glass. Would call much more often if it was not 60 miles from home. Looking forward to our next visit. - 19/07/23

5 star rating OUTSTANDING MEAL FANTASTIC lunch here today! Lovely hotel with huge comfortable lounges, impeccable service, lovely dining room and grounds. The food was sublime and we enjoyed a memorable meal, prepared by a very talented chef. Despite the fact that the hotel is an hour and a half from our home we are determined to return and perhaps stay the night. It wont be cheap but it will be well worth it. Many thanks to all the well trained staff for providing such a delicious exp[erience. - 16/07/23

5 star rating Outstanding food, service and comfort. Could not have been better. Food cooked perfectly, the way it should be, with no "puffy bits" which Michelin seem to favour. Everyone provided outstanding service, and the lovely bedroom had every amenity. Highly recommended. - 01/05/23
