“A truly worthwhile stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 September 2011

The Courthouse is a great stay inside a quiet lovely little town.Claire (sorry, I forgot the name of the male host...) were fantastic hosts. The room was well put together and all the rooms were nicely themed and decorated with quite some taste! The breakfast was just lovely. We only stayed for one night but certainly wished that we had stayed longer. It was nice to see the resident cat and dog living in harmony, with the little intelligent dog quite protective of the cat. There's much to wander around the surrounding, from the quiet meadows with sheep, to the gardens that surround the meandering river, to the little shops, all a stone's throw away. Parking is free and with ample parking space in a fenced off area. Overall, its a great place to be in.

“Brilliant!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

The Courthouse is an amazing place to stay! A B&B without fault and great history! Parents stayed here at the beginning of September with an elderly lady. They tried to re-book as it was soo great, but were disappointed when they just missed their chance! Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable hosts. They would also appreciate it if you passed on their thanks to becoming members of 'the club' across the road.

“yet another excellent stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

This is the fourth time we have stayed with Claire and John at Henllys the courthouse.
We booked all rooms for the bank holiday weekend. John and Claire are excellent hosts. Food is excellent and the rooms are very comfortable. It is now like home from home. We look forward to staying again next year.

“Great base to explore Northern Wales.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 August 2011

We chose this accommodation for a couple of nights after internet research and TripAdvisor reviews when looking for accommodation in northern Wales. We like to find places with a little bit of character, and the Courthouse with its history certainly fitted the bill. We chose the handcuff room – go figure – perhaps the name conjured up certain images!
The building has a great deal of character (see the photographs) and the village and surrounds were picturesque. Betws-y-Coed was a good base to explore Snowdonia and the north of Wales, and the Courthouse had ample parking.
Ours was a pretty room, with ensuite, TV, tea & coffee facilities and wi-fi.
John and Claire (yes, she does have an “enigmatic 'Zoe Wanamaker' type smile”) were wonderful hosts, and I also had a long chat with their friendly neighbour, Dil, who gave us a tip about where to eat in the village on the first night. Breakfasts were fabulous in the sunny breakfast room, and John was only too willing to share tips on where to go and how to get there (both driving and walking).
We wanted for nothing here, and would gladly return.

“Very welcoming and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

We stayed at The Courthouse for 3 nights after finding it on an internet search. We were very impressed with the accomodation, food and friendliness of Claire and John. Nothing was too much trouble and after a very wet walk on one of the days, they hung all our wet clothes up in the kitchen to dry. We would definitely stay there again.
