Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hillcrest Guest House is frequently praised for its location, a short walk from the centre of Llangollen and attractions like Plas Newydd. Guests often mention the spacious rooms and comfy beds, with some noting the ongoing work in the hall and stairs gives a slightly unfinished appearance. A highlight for many is the excellent breakfast, often including Welsh cakes, cooked fresh to order with veggie options and gorgeous jams, complemented by ample parking at the rear of the property.

Satisfactory Stay

breakfast choicetown centreparking spaceuncut grassold tabledog waste
The breakfast provided a good start to the day. There were many options. The location of the house is near the town centre. This made getting around easy. The car park had sufficient space for vehicles.
The garden was not maintained. The grass was uncut. There were a few old tables. Dog waste bins are missing.

The free parking behind the guesthouse was so convenient. Breakfast was delicious with extra toast. The location is very close to town, and I took a short walk along the canal.
The stairs looks a little messy as work on them is unfinished.
