Best afternoon tea that we’ve had on our trip! Tea itself is delicious and served with plenty of extra hot water. Cakes are outstanding - especially the carrot cake, which is perfectly balanced by the sour cream topping. Staff are incredibly friendly. We had a lovely walk in the extensive gardens afterwards.

Excellent little place! What a gem with fantastic wonderful staff who were so friendly. Ploughman’s lunch was a large portion with fresh crusty bread, ham, Welsh Cheddar, salad and chutney. Sausage sandwich was also tasty served with a large side salad, Home made cakes both lemon and chocolate cakes were delicious. Highly recommended for lunch.

Lovely friendly staff service, enormous cake portions that was moist and delicious. I had lemon cake and my wife had chocolate orange and neither wanted to share ( hehe ) . This is somewhere you pass but once you stop you aim for again. As mentioned before tea comes in a pot with extra hot water and is plenty for the cake portions, I enjoyed my coffee black no sugar so I know it is good coffee. Do stop and enjoy the nice warm fire and friendly service!

We've been twice in 2 days!! First visit, yesterday was for tea and cake. The carrot cake was 10/10 and the tea is plentiful - 4, maybe 5 cups from the teapot! Today we had lunch. Beef chilli for me and Homemade scotch egg for my husband. The meals both came with salad, coleslaw, potato salad and bread. Huge portions... its rare to level a restaurant feeling like you can't eat another morsel - I love my food and this was absolutely delicious, and excellent value. A perfect stop off after a day exploring.

This was just such a lovely experience. I am surprised to see some negative reviews, I can only comment on our own experience. What a lovely place! My wife and I were in Wales for the week, we loved it so much we made a return visit at the end of the week. The staff were all very welcoming, friendly and chatty; the food was all home made and delicious; an amazing selection of freshly made cakes and an impressive selection of vegan dishes for such a small place!! The fire just added to the ambience. We visit this area of Wales every November so look forward to our return visit and sampling more of the menu choices!

We visited while we were on holiday last month and what a wonderful experience. The two ladies who have taken over were so friendly and welcoming, sorry I can’t remember their names but I do know one of them was from Huddersfield. The food is home cooked on the premises and so tasty. We laughed so much with them and enjoyed every minute of our visit. Highly recommend in every respect. Will certainly return.

Thought it looked quaint so we decided to stop for lunch. So glad we did. The young man who attended to us and served our lunch was very friendly and efficient. Food was delicious . I had a ham sandwich (home baked ham and bread was fab) with home-made coleslaw, potato salad and chutney plus a salad. Hubby had Welsh rarebit plus the same accompaniments as me. It was so so good. Will definitely go again.

Turned up on spec with my other half last Saturday, wanting lunch. Amazing location and stunning building (definitely haunted, ace) and the staff were just wonderful. I am veggie and gluten free, so whilst options were limited, they couldn't do enough for me. I ordered a cheese sandwich and they came back and asked if I wanted a toastie, and it was stunning. Fresh ingredients, good gluten free bread (rare to find) and a nice fresh salad. The lady who was cooking was so attentive and aware of the whole allergen risk thing, even in a small kitchen. Plus both myself and my girlfriend commented at how bubbly and lovely the waitress was! Makes such a difference and really made the experience of just stopping for lunch a great one, enough to write a review. Will definitely be back as we only live on Anglesey.

We made a beeline for the Ugly House at the far end of our round walk to and from Betws y Coed via Swallow falls. I have wanted to visit for ages but never had the time or chance. We were not disappointed! The staff were so incredibly friendly, couldn't do enough for you. Very warm and personable. The oat milk flat white was top notch, tea lovely, cakes delicious but the best bit was the rarebit - my goodness, I don't think I have every had a better rarebit. Perfectly cooked with a lovely salad, chutney, slaw etc. It was heaven! We took home a jar of the honey too which I can confirm is delicious! The grounds are absolutely lovely - eco friendly, composting toilet. Absolutely set up for the future. Well done team Ugly House, we'll be back and can't wait!

After a long riverside walk from Betws y coed to the ugly house in 27 degrees C we were gasping for a cold drink The house is lovely lots of character and loved the information on the walls well worth a visit BUT …… Ugly price for small can of Fanta £3.20 each !!! So £6.40 to quench our thirst Did challenge the staff who said they have commented to the owner whose response was “They are paying for the ugly house experience “ Not a great way to keep people returning

I visited this cafe with my parents and the drains are blocked causing terrible sewage smells and a closed disabled toilet right behind the kitchen areaThe waitress was very unsympathetic and rudeWe eventually moved table to eatLast night both my mother and I were vomiting all night and are very unwell I suggest giving this a miss until the drains are sorted The afternoon teas have always been splendid here so a great shame as I am someone who goes regularly with visitors

Such a sweet little place and a little unplanned stop but couldn't resist. Lovely cup of real tea with tea strainer and tea pot and a jug of hot water to refill. Friendly staff and a delicious slice of victoria sponge cake. Table by the window, all so very sweet. To top it all, a little Robin comes in to visit! They call him Bob... will always remember this day

To those who have slated this place due to pricing, nobody forces you to eat there. The prices are clearly displayed as you enter. Yes it is expensive (£8+) for scrambled eggs! Yet homemade cakes only 3.50. It is a choice and I don't feel fair to review badly if you make thst choice. We had a scone, lemon cake, and gluten free chocolate orange cake. All were delicious and good portions. The tea was loose leaf and one pot enough for 2.To those critising the toilet situation. Yes it is a compostable toilet, yes it smells, but it is far away from the cafe. The whole place is 'eco type' and I think many are missing the point of the venue. The walks around the woodland our daughter loved along with a dip in the river opposite. The service although friendly was very slow initially but that was the only minor fault.

Average score for at best an average all day breakfast.Sausage - vile. The lowest meat content - all pink and fake looking inside. Bacon - fine. Beans and black pudding - also fine. Egg - not sure how to describe it but looked quite normal but the yolk was solid and the white pure rubber. I’d say avoid but the server told us the cafe was due to close within a week. Probably explains the breakfast. Oh, didn’t enjoy Radio 1 at loud volume either.
