Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A couple of drinks in the garden, soaking up the sun and listening to the river and the birds, I could have stayed here all day. Very welcoming staff and dog friendly. Unfortunately we found this place on a day when they were not doing...food, which was a shame, just bad timing. These are the sort of pubs that need to be protected. If you are in the area, definitely pay it a visit.More

Me and my partner camped here for the night not expecting much for £10 but it turned out to be one of the best camping trips we’ve been on! We were welcomed and instantly felt comfortable in the pub, we were then showed to our...pitch that was the perfect size for 2 of us. We both had a meal each and it was good authentic pub grub, we loved it! Socialising with the locals and other campers in the evening topped out experiencing off, it’s the most fun we’ve had in a long time. Thank you guys for acing us we can’t wait to return:)More

A real treasure of a traditional ‘olde-world’ pub with accommodation facilities, in a truly beautiful setting on the Afon (river) Alwen. Family run place with great home cooked food. Very friendly locals. Rented cabins and camping site right alongside the tranquil shallow river in lovely...gardens with woodland surroundings . And with a pen of amazing alpacas all with names and personal photo bios! So cute. Free ample car parking. The proprietors Richard and Caroline are just genuinely lovely people and great hosts. Enjoy!!More

We stayed here for only one night but wish it was more. My self and my daughter stayed, she's aged 13 and we had a tent in the alpaca area. Upon arrival the owners could not have been any more welcoming. I've stayed at many...a camp sites and no owner has ever been that polite and professional to ensure we knew everything. We had a great time in the alpaca area and even got to help feeding them, as well as the cheeky little goats who were so funny. The alpaca area is a fantastic experience and something different but really enjoyable. We had a walk around the place and checked out the peaceful surroundings. Later in the day we went for food in the pub, I had seen a previous review stating the food was not up too much. Well that was all lies. My daughter being a typical fussy teenager got a chicken burger and chips. She ate the lot and I had the pie and chips. Both meals were fantastic. The service was spot on and the locals in the pub were very friendly and welcoming. We finnished off with a fire at our tent next to the river. Very relaxing and peaceful. Then off to sleep on a mattress with a duvet in the tent. Luxury and comfort. Will we return? 100% we will and hopefully it keeps going for many more years to come. All I can say is go there you won't regret it.More

Six of us stayed here for two nights. We could not recommend enough! From the amazing hosts Caroline and Rich to the stunning setting, we where blown away. All information was provided on arrival and they where more than happy to answer any questions we...had throughout our stay. We ate in the pub a few times and the food was perfect not one complaint from even the fussy eaters. As it was raining we had drinks there and a few games of pool. The staff and locals where so welcoming and we left feeling like we had been coming here for years. Thanks you Caroline and Rich, you are doing an amazing job!More

This campsite was beautiful. But even more amazing were how kind, friendly and accommodating the staff were. Firstly we arrived and had forgotten our covers the lovely couple gave us their own personal sleeping bags. Then following a very wet and soggy down pour one...of our campers tent leaked and all their covers were drenched in which again the amazing women dried all of his things. They have alpacas and goats on site and the children were able to feed them and walk them. Despite the weather being awful we still had an amazing time and would definitely visit this site again (hopefully weather nicer) so can enjoy the river even more.More

Me and my partner decided on a last minute camping trip for bank holiday. We came across the crown inn on pitch up and after seeing an available bell tent in the alpaca area we decided to book in. We are soo glad we did,...the bell tent was beautiful and the location was perfect. Richard and Caroline were both so helpful and welcoming, as was the bar maid (sorry I can’t remember her name). We had our tea in the pub, we both had a lovely meal and I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of vegetarian options available. Neither of us have any complaints, we could not of been happier, I think the only downside was that we only booked the one night! We will be back soon that’s for sure!More

Yes easily, there was a BMW M4 there when we last visited which made it in with no issues which is at least as low as a gti if not lower.
