The Inn Collection is offering festive Christmas breaks at two North Wales pubs, providing a base for exploring the coast, castles and mountains of Eryri. The three-night stays, from December 24-27, include breakfast each morning, dinner for two on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day lunch and an evening buffet for two, and dinner for two on Boxing Day.
Guests can enjoy a full breakfast each morning, with festive feasting continuing through the holiday period. The packages are designed to offer a relaxed break without the usual pressure of hosting Christmas at home.
Festive stays in Beaumaris and Betws-y-Coed
The Bull's Head Inn in Beaumaris is set in the heart of the town, close to its historic castle. The traditional pub and hotel offers cosy interiors, welcoming spaces and old-world charm, with guests able to explore the streets, beach and boat trips to Puffin Island. The inn was voted 'one of the best' by the National Pub & Bar Awards.
The Swallow Falls Inn in Betws-y-Coed is a traditional coaching inn combining historic charm with modern comforts. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring the village and the Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, with woodland paths and a storybook feel. The inn is situated just across the road from Swallow Falls.

The room was tastefully decorated with a nice bathroom. Great service and the food was excellent!"
