The Tal-Y-Cafn, Tal-Y-Cafn, Colwyn Bay, LL28 5RR

Dating back to 1438, Tal y Cafn is a historic coaching inn that has been transformed into a contemporary, multi award-winning gastropub with luxury accommodation. The current building, approximately 200 years old, has undergone extensive refurbishment and now features a high-spec fit-out that blends traditional character with modern operational efficiency.

Tal y Cafn is located in the picturesque Conwy Valley, North Wales, just minutes from the historic town of Conwy. Set against the backdrop of Snowdonia National Park and overlooking the River Conwy, the property enjoys a tranquil setting with excellent transport links, including proximity to the A470 and Colwyn Bay train station. Nearby attractions include Bodnant Garden, Surf Snowdonia, and Zip World, making it a prime destination for tourists and locals alike.

The property features a large restaurant with 125 covers, spread across several distinct dining areas including a bar/lounge, snug, and gallery space. The layout offers flexibility for private events and parties, with capacity for groups ranging from 20 to 150 guests. The building is equipped with modern systems including CCTV, fire and intruder alarms, and a fully fitted commercial kitchen.

We have been advised that the majority of the fixtures and fittings are owned outright and will be included in the sale, subject to an inventory.

Tal y Cafn offers three luxury guest rooms: two en-suite double rooms and the Snowdon Suite—a self-contained apartment with a kitchen, dining area, living room, private balcony, and hot tub. These rooms have consistently high occupancy rates and attract repeat guests, contributing to the property's strong hospitality offering.

Set within approximately one acre, the site includes 60 car parking spaces and extensive outdoor areas with over 200 covers. The grounds feature a BBQ station, dedicated outdoor bar, and foundations for a marquee, making it ideal for weddings and summer events with capacity for up to 350 guests.

The sale of Tal y Cafn presents a rare chance to acquire a landmark hospitality business in one of the UK’s most scenic and high-footfall regions. With its award-winning gastropub, luxury accommodation, and scope for further development—including potential involvement with a nearby luxury lodge project—the property offers incoming operators a turnkey business with significant growth potential.
