Best gastro pubs with rooms in Wales
Wales has a flourishing tradition of inns that combine the warmth of a proper local pub with ambitious, produce-led cooking and bedrooms worth travelling for — often in spectacular settings beneath castle walls or beside fast-running rivers. The Good Hotel Guide's Welsh selection ranges from the Brecon Beacons to the Llŷn Peninsula, recommending only those pubs where food, welcome and accommodation all reach the same high standard.

The Bell at Skenfrith
Monmouthshire
Huddled below wooded hills, beside a stone bridge over the River Monnow, this whitewashed former 17th-century coaching inn serves delicious food and has great walks from the door to help you justify eating it.
Ty Gwyn Hotel
Betws-Y-Coed, Wales / Conwy
Abounding in old-fashioned charm, this 16th-century coaching inn with woodland behind and the river across the road has an interesting selection of quirky bedrooms, an atmospheric bar and good cooking in the restaurant.
Llanthony Priory Hotel
Abergavenny, Monmouthshire
New owners Annabel and Jamie Windsor-Medley have refreshed the simple but historic bedrooms at this unlikely pub, which occupies the original prior's quarters for a 12th-century Augustinian Priory, serving meals in the Cellar Bar, and making plans for dark-sky events and theatre in the grounds against the backdrop of evocative ruins and the Black Mountains.
Castle Cottage Inn
Harlech, Gwynedd
Two 16th-century buildings above Edward I's formidable castle with views of sea and Snowdonia comprise this inn with seven well-presented bedrooms, an aviation-themed bar, and a restaurant serving modern British cooking with a Thai twist.
