B&B named the best in Wales for its 'sumptuous' charm and 'thoughtful extras'

One B&B in Llandudno has been named the best B&B in Wales for its "friendly welcome" and "thoughtful extras" in the AA B&B Awards 2024. Bryn Derwen is located in the north of Llandudno and is within easy walking distance of fine restaurants, bars, beaches, shops and theatre or to the Great Orme where you will see the famous cashmere goats.

The B&B has been named best in Wales for 2024 at the AA B&B Awards. Giving it five stars, an AA inspector said: "A friendly welcome is assured at this impressive Victorian house, which retains many original features such as tiled floors and fine stained-glass windows. Décor and furnishings highlight the historic charm of the property, which is most apparent in the sumptuous lounges and attractive dining room. A choice of individually styled bedrooms is offered, and all are equipped with many thoughtful extras."

Mark Rogers, owner of Bryn Derwen said: "We are honoured to think that all our hard work has been recognised and appreciated by the AA, and by our wonderful guests that we have had over the years." The B&B boasts nine individually designed plush rooms including king rooms, premier king rooms and twin rooms.

The reviews on the B&B's website are glowing. Pauline Boyle wrote: "Lyn and Mark were wonderful hosts, we had a couple of requests which they sorted without question, hubby had a safe place to leave his push bike. You can tell they are experienced hosts they think of everything to make your stay the best. Lovely breakfast. 10/10."

Bev and Rob Marsden wrote: "Had a wonderful stay for our Ruby wedding anniversary. The owners Mark and Lynn are lovely friendly people and even had an anniversary card on our table for us when we went for breakfast. On arrival we were given a cup of coffee and welsh cakes, also Belgian chocolates in our room each day. We will definitely be going back."
