Riversdale House, Llangollen

Set on Abbey Road directly opposite Llangollen’s steam railway station, Riversdale House is an elegant Victorian townhouse turned boutique bed and breakfast in the heart of one of North Wales’s prettiest towns. With the River Dee a short stroll away and the hills of the Dee Valley rising beyond, it is an adults-only retreat that pairs period character with genuine comfort — and it has the accolades to match, as a North Wales Tourism Awards winner and a member of the hand-picked Rarebits collection.

An award-winning B&B in the heart of Llangollen

Riversdale has been lovingly brought back to life, keeping the features that give it its character — original fireplaces, restored sash windows and a striking Minton-tiled hallway — while adding the modern touches that make a stay easy. There are three individually styled en-suite bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom and walk-in shower, an original fireplace, a comfortable bed dressed in quality linen, a flat-screen TV, a writing desk and tea and coffee-making facilities, with bathrobes and toiletries provided. Several rooms look out over the town, the river or the surrounding hills. Breakfast is a highlight — a hamper brought to your door each morning with pastries, fruit, granola and juice, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options on request.

Period character and a peaceful, grown-up stay

With three stylish en-suite rooms, an in-room breakfast and an adults-only welcome, Riversdale House is a calm, characterful base in the heart of Llangollen.
