I was bought up very close by to the Fairy Glenn and decided to visit for old times sake I walked up the rough road (no changes) and noticed that the old entrance had been blocked off by a wall the original entrance was directly opposite a stone built shed on the left. I retraced my steps and walked back... more

I decided to call in at this place because I thought I it might be interesting to photograph. There's an honesty box at the entrance and I put my 50p in and set off up the path. I could hear shouting behind me and saw the owner running after me so I walked back to where he was. I hadn't... more

The hotel is in a lovely location, the owner and his wife are very friendly and the food is excellent. Rooms are comfortable and contrary to an earlier review the "attic " is just another floor higher up, the rooms are pleasant and we stay there all the time. It strikes me that an earlier reviewer's attitude may have had... more

The drive to the carpark at Fairy Glen was more scenic than Fairy Glen itself. (if you follow the back roads as recommended by the Tourist Information Officer). The walk itself is only 20 min. but you can stretch it to 30 min. if you take the River walk on the way back. To make it worth while, make sure... more

Fairy Glen is a secluded gorge and beauty spot on the Conwy River. It's just off the A470, near the intersection with the A5 - there is a small car park nearby - turn left just after the Fairy Glen Hotel (but not into the hotel car park!), and it's reached down a small track. You then have to walk... more

Having visited this location recently all i can say is WHAT A WASTE OF ADMISSION FEE!!!!! The surrounding area is far more scenic AND FREE. Don't waste your time as there is nothing to see that you won't see elsewhere. more
