Plas Y Coed - Gaiman

We thought here was the Welsh afternoon tea. It was delicious and good value at just £10 per person. Bread and butter, scones, warm skorone with cheese, two types of cake, lemon tart, apple cake, cream flan, completely made with house jam and a huge pot of tea. Apart from the beautiful aromas (and the better that everything made at home), the owner spent a lot of time telling us about the history of the Welsh settlement in Patagonia and their own family history. Then she showed us around the garden, where many of the tea ingredients came from. Of course we couldn't eat anything, but no problem, dog bags are present. Very recommended.

A beautiful old-fashioned hotel with excellent breakfast. The owners showed us all kindness and made sure we had additional food to make lunch packages on our travel days

The tea, the cakes and the Scones were amazing to name some, we had Welsh cakes, black Welsh cakes, Bara bread, something Victoria, etc. The owner, whose great grandmother started the house, served us and was very friendly and spoke English. Unfortunately, when we went to pay, we had a bad experience with one of the staff who could not speak English and did not run our credit card correctly. We asked to speak with someone in English because we were unable to understand the problem and showed the employee this request by a translation app with text in Spanish. She refused, said there was no one who could help, and it was just an unpleasant one. We were grateful for cash and used it as soon as possible. It was a really bad end, which was really an amazing experience. Delicious tea and food, but a bad taste was left for us!

Our guide recommended the other teahouse “Ty Gwyn”, we followed the council and were completely disappointed as we wanted to have cream tea (with Scones, many Scones not high tea (with sandwiches and other things... , they didn’t just want to give us scones so that we went and went to Plas y Coed. It is a beautiful place filled with walisic quirkiness and they make proper cream tea, the lady is friendly and friendly.

Plas y coed is a wonderful tea room, set back off the road, with a beautiful surrounding garden. Upon entering, you’re reminded of chintzy little places up and down wales... mixed with your nan’s kitchen. Decorating the walls are posters and tea towels full of either welsh language lessons, or little life lessons (my favourite; a cup of tea solves everything). We sat down on a table at the back, by the window and were greeted with the menu. This contains only one thing which is the ‘tê Cymraeg’ or welsh tea. I was dubious at first, as we weren’t that hungry, but I’m glad we didn’t leave! Almost instantly after confirming our order, we were presented with a savoury plate (hot cheese scones, little plain scones and bread and butter), and a sweet plate. The latter is something to be celebrated! Full of welsh fair; welsh cakes, bara brith, Apple slice and even a custard slice, this was a feast for the eyes as well as the belly! The portions are just right for two greedy tourists to eat it all (albeit, we did leave the bread and butter). The tea is served in a tea cosy, and you can purchase similar ones from the onsite shop. Here you can also buy cute little magnets, tea and some ‘torta galles’; a darker version of the typical bara brith. A lovely experience, and very surreal to be drinking tea and eating welsh cakes, 7000 miles from home. Worth a visit!
