Elen's Castle

Who was Elen, and what was she doing in a castle? Answers to these questions can only be found at Elen’s Castle, a stunning little hotel found on the outskirts of Betws-y-Coed, although Betws is so small that the ‘outskirts’ are basically a five minute walk away at all times. The ‘Elen’ in question is actually the daughter of Llywelyn the Great, the most famous medieval Welsh ruler of them all, born not too far from this very spot. You’ll feel reborn after a night’s sleep and a heart meal at the castle, we guarantee it.
