Delivers excellence on every level, amazing food, wonderful service, exquisite surroundings and décor. The quality of high end restaurants and hotels has thank fully improved immeasurably over the last decade. Tyddyn Llan takes things to another level. I have enjoyed experiences in hotels that have delivered on most levels, but invariably there is just that - "a but...". Could the service have been better? Was every course of the tasting menu up to scratch? Was it good value? I don't remember staying anywhere that has delivered 100% on absolutely everything in such a wonderfully balanced way and with such attention to detail. The approach to Tyddyn Llan Just outside Llandrillo is beautiful enough, and then you enter the immaculately kept driveway with ample parking outside the impressive hotel building. The gardens and pond are beautifully maintained and the outdoor seating area is wonderfully inviting. The range of tasting menus is crafted to suit a range of budgets and even the A la carte menu is extremely reasonable. The food itself is extraordinary and we continually found ourselves asking our wonderful restaurant team to convey to Gareth Stevenson, Head Chef and proprietor, how much we were enjoying the incredible dishes laid before us. Special thanks go out to Lili, Lacey, Freya and Maria who looked after us with such care and attention - every one of them would constantly sweep the restaurant as they walked back and forth making sure that everything was in order and we had everything we needed without at any point being intrusive. When we did engage in conversation with each of them it was a delight - they were always ready to take some time to discuss their backgrounds, where they lived and so on whilst always making sure they had time for other guests. Rob was an amazing sommelier, and Darrell was the star of the show at breakfast time. The restaurant itself is beautifully and tastefully decorated, and we felt privileged to dine un such opulent surroundings. I would recommend anyone who enjoys amazing food and service in luxurious surroundings to visit as soon as you can – we will be returning very soon! - 14/08/26 

Nyetimber event We attended Tyddyn Llan for their Nyetimber wine dinner event. We were not disappointed. The restaurant has a delightful ambiance. The food was exeptional and the wine paired perfectly. A real gem of a place. - 10/08/26 

A delightful stay I was disappointed to read a review from a member of a large group eating dinner at the same time as ourselves. Their raucous behaviour was an embarrassment and clearly they had no respect for the staff or other diners. Their review should be ignored. We found the service was efficient and friendly. The food was good on both days of our stay. The bedroom was well appointed and comfortable. The area is beautiful with many walks . We thoroughly recommend this delightful restaurant with rooms. - 03/08/26 

Dissapointing Very dissapointed. We have dined in Tyddyn Llan under the previous management on many occassions and have always had fantastic meals. Myself and 11 friends were looking forward to a special night celebrating a 50th birthday last night, however our experience this time was such a contrast. No experienced front of house, we were looked after by a young waitress who was lovely and tried her best, but was out of her depth. Wine selection and provision very poor.
Starters -terrine -disgusting.
Prawns -2 friends had very undercooked prawns -still blue!
Main meal steak -not pleasent. Very grizzly and extremely salty. Feedback was given to young waitress, however no apology or further discussion was offered with higher management.
Triffle -very basic!
This restaurant still charge high end prices for very poor food and basic service. - 02/08/26 

Extremely Enjoyable experience Peaceful location, stayed in suite which had disabled facilities bathroom has walk in shower, close parking to the room, wheelchair suitable. Friendly relaxed atmosphere. We had set meal which was delicious, excellent service. - 19/07/26 

The Voice Of Reason Tyddyn Llan is one of our favourite places to stay and eat and I feel some of the latest reviews have been a little harsh. We had a couple of stays in June, firstly for a Nyetimber dinner (wonderful food and wine, and informative) and the following weekend to try the fantastic new menu.
During the June heatwave weekend, management had done their best to obtain fans for each bedroom and in the restaurants, but the lounges were lovely and cool. I very much doubt many 300 year old listed buildings have air conditioning and it must have been almost unbearable for the staff working in the kitchen!
Many of the bedrooms still have metal bedsteads and so I'm rather glad of the extra cushions for watching television or reading in bed. It's no hardship to put them on a chair before going to sleep.
Housekeeping is always on top of the game and the freshly made biscuits and selection of teas and coffee are most welcome. It's quite unusual to be able to have both decaffeinated tea and coffee in your room. It's always a pleasure to spend some time relaxing in the garden and enjoying the delights of such a rural location. We will no doubt be returning before the summer is out. - 08/07/26 

Unacceptable Facilities. Visited recently one night/dinner during recent heatwave. Food was OK but not cheap for tasting menu. No A/c anywhere within building resulting in sweltering bedroom and restaurant area. Charging well above 600.00 for this is unacceptable and excessive. Would not stay again. - 01/07/26 

Front of House The food was lovely in Tyddyn Llan, but we weren’t impressed with the front of house service, they really need somebody in charge.
When the order was taken we had to put our hands up for our choice of food, I have never come across that in a high standard restaurant before.
I asked about the petite fours with the coffee as they didn’t arrive, if we had to pay for them. Was told if they are on the menu you pay, but luckily we were not charged.
Lovely venue, but let down by front of house. - 30/06/26 

Well up to standard! We have visited 3 times before, under previous management. This time was equally enjoyable.

There is no value to a report unless it is honest and acknowledges defects. In our room, the only electrical socket we could find was on an extension cable tucked away behind a small table: not ideal, but not insurmountable. Also, we will enthusiastically endorse any management which recognises that heaps of unnecessary cushions piled on top of the beds in a small hotel room may look pretty, but are pretty inconvenient when you want to get into bed!

THE MEAL: Exquisite! Lobster with pasta and its own bisque was to die for, and the beef fillet with broccoli succulent and generous. Only minor issue: it’s not ideal to be asked to order the dessert course before the meal. By the time we got to that stage, i wished i had chosen something else!

But overall we enjoyed our brief stay enormously, we give it five stars, and although we live 100 miles away, we will come again. - 28/06/26 

First visit under new ownership - 5 Stars !! My OH and I booked a 2 night stay over the weekend to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. This was out first visit to Tyddyn Llan since Brian and Susan Webb retired. Under its new ownership, it has improved on all fronts. Although I could find nothing to complain about before, there has obviously been a lot of investment in the bedrooms and the dining areas, with everything brought up to date; our 'Master' bedroom was terrific. (NB. The pictures on the Trip Advisor page are out of date and don't do the Tyddyn Llan any favours and ought to be replaced).

We opted for the 10-course tasting menu and the a la carte for our evening meals. The food was exceptional on both occasions; well worthy of their entry in the Michelin Guide and I'd say not far short of a star. Of particular note the fish courses (scallops, crab and turbot) were super fresh and the beef fillet and lamb melted in the mouth. Personally the little surprise was the Tete de Moine cheese which was rich and creamy and something I'll have to buy when I get home!! Service from Maria, Freya and Lacey (and the guy whose name I didn't get) was perfect; just enough chat without the unnecessary and sleep inducing descriptors we had at an over-priced Welsh restaurant not too far away. Breakfast was really good too.

We'll definitely return sometime soon. - 22/06/26
