Lisa and Colin are wonderful hosts and made our stay at Borthwen really enjoyable. Breakfast was lovely and had something for everyone. Would highly recommend this property if you are fortunate enough to be visiting the beautiful North Wales area.
Another superb nights stay.
Parking is off-road and right outside the property.
The room was plenty big enough, very clean and it a great condition. The bathroom is a good size with an excellent shower.
Breakfast was top notch and a quick service.
The owners were very friendly and helpful.
I'd be more than happy to stay there again.
Great hosts, great location, and fantastic breakfast. Truly a gem. Stay here.

Borthwen B&B is a fabulously run B&B. Colin and Lisa are great and make sure their guests are happy and looked after. The location is very good as it’s a couple minutes walk into the main town. I would definitely recommend it.
Lovely friendly B&B. Had the place to ourselves and the view was amazing and the town was beautiful. Had a great breakfast the next morning too watching the birds and having a good chat with the owners.
Just enjoyed our 2nd stay at Borthwen. Undoubtedly the best B&B we have ever stayed in. Amazing views of the beautiful scenery, our room very comfortable with everything you need, great breakfasts and fabulous hosts. We’ll be booking again as soon as can.
A single night here stayed in, nice gentlemen owner, super helpful, lovely breakfast, nice, fresh modern room.
Certainly happy to return here.
Chose as i needed off road parking= plenty.
Fantastic location, can’t wait to rebook to return with my friend.
Great hosts and shower fab.
Just some curtains in room 1 as light could be seen and I love a dark room.
If you want to relax browsing the local shops or eateries, maybe just sit on the patio enjoying the birds, view and peace, or take a country walk, it’s all here, superb
Amazing short break at Borthwen B&B. Beautiful big room with lots of little finishing touches. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts Colin and Lisa. Fabulous freshly prepared cooked breakfast to start the day off. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a base for a weekend (or longer) in wales.
