A regular entry in the Good Beer Guide for over 30 years, this 16th-century inn situated in the hills above Old Colwyn, next to St Elian's Church, greets you with a warm welcome. Gracing the entrance are two stone white lions, leading into the bar area with its slate-flagged flooring and large comfortable chairs around the log fires. Decorative stained glass is mounted above the bar in the tiny snug situated to the right of the front door. A spacious restaurant serves home-cooked food with a wide menu choice. Jazz night is Tuesday and quiz night Thursday.

Historic Interest

CADW Grade 2 listed since July 1998 for "its special interest as a first-half C19 inn with earlier core in a prominent village centre location and group value with St Elian's Church."

Information for this venue is provided by the Abercolwyn Branch of CAMRA
