More About West Arms Hotel
West Arms first opened its doors, so it is today - full of character and 17th century charm.
Situated in a quiet village at the foothills of the spectacular Berwyn Mountains, the West Arms oozes with warmth and comfort, from the ancient timberwork, low ceilings and vine-covered walls to the period furniture and blazing log fires. Its light, spacious bedrooms and suites keep to this homely, cosy feel while offering all the modern facilities of the 21st century.
While the hotel no longer has to cater to hungry cattle herders, its food is still as much a part of its fibre as it was more than 300 years ago. Its award-winning head chef Grant Williams has worked in kitchens around the world, has appeared on several TV cookery programmes and has even cooked for the Prince of Wales. The menu offers a blend of traditional Welsh fare and a touch of modern fine dining, all prepared with fresh local ingredients.
The West Arms is a perfect base to see the natural and historical beauty of North Wales - the stunning hills and valleys, the majestic Rhaeadr Waterfall, enchanted castles and quaint villages.
