The Swallow Falls Inn in North Wales has undergone an extensive transformation
A landmark pub surrounded by scenic views is due to reopen next year following a multi-million pound redevelopment. The Swallow Falls Inn sits near to Eryri National Park, Snowdonia, close to the waterfalls it is named after.
The property was bought in 2021 by the Inn Collection Group who began a major renovation project this year after securing planning permission. Bookings have now opened for the Betws-y-Coed pub with rooms – with the first guests due to stay on February 28.
The pub has undergone an extensive list of renovations, including the forming of brand-new bedrooms in the main building, old Youth Hostel Association building and the former Tavern. State of the art kitchen facilities are being created whilst slate roofs have been renewed, along with the installation of new utilities including a water treatment plant and electrical sub-stations, North Wales Live reports.

As the refurbishment project continues to progress, fitting out of bedrooms, and the renovation of the bar and restaurant area will be the key areas of focus ahead of the inn reopening. Once completed it will offer 38 bedrooms.
It will also will retain its campsite with 30 pitches allowing those who prefer to spend the night under canvas to enjoy the tranquillity of the area. Three renovated camping “pods” will provide a further choice of accommodation type whilst facilities provided will include male and female showers, complete with vanity units and toilets.
Transformed, the new-look inn will boast 146 internal covers, with the outdoor terrace providing a further 56. The group also runs the Bull’s Head in Beaumaris and is redeveloping the St Kilda hotel in Llandudno.
Rooms director Kate Bentley said: “We are hugely excited to see The Swallow Falls Inn refurbishment progressing and are delighted to have opened bookings for our newest inn. We know that there is a lot of interest in The Swallow Falls Inn and people are eager to see it reopen, so we’re delighted to have opened bookings for its first stays.
“The renovation is creating a gorgeous venue in one of the most beautiful parts of Wales and we can’t wait to welcome our first guests in time for spring and offer our award-winning style of hospitality in Eryri National Park. With our location next to Swallow Falls, we are ideally sited whether you plan to stay over or just refresh after enjoying the majesty of the falls or Gwydir forest.
“There is still work to do before we can start showing off the individual charm and character of The Swallow Falls Inn, but we’re sure our look and style are going to be enjoyed by customers in a new area of operation for us. We’re also looking forward to introducing the splendour of the area to a new audience too and welcoming our loyal customers to our newest property where you’ll fit right inn.”
