Ty Hyll - Ugly House
About
The Ty Hyll Tearoom, affectionately known as the Ugly House, is a beloved Welsh hospitality gem tucked into the idyllic village of Capel Curig. Renowned for its warm, down‑to‑earth charm, the tearoom offers a comforting menu of homemade teas, savoury Welsh favourites, and a sumptuous array of cakes and scones made with locally sourced ingredients. Visitors to the tearoom receive a personal touch from the friendly staff, as well as a selection of Welsh‑established specialties such as the “secret‑recipe” Welsh Rarebit, Scotch Eggs, and traditional Bara Brith. Whether you’re stopping by for an early‑morning coffee, a leisurely afternoon tea, or a hearty lunch, the tearoom’s relaxed atmosphere and cozy setting in the heart of the Conwy valley make it a must‑stop for both locals and sightseers alike. Beyond the food, the tearoom’s picturesque location along Betws Road provides a quiet retreat from the bustle of nearby towns, while its very own car park allows easy access for visitors by car. The tearoom embraces a strong emphasis on sustainable food sourcing, with a selection of cheeses, meats, and fresh produce grown in the surrounding countryside. Best season Late spring and early autumn bring mild temperatures and open countryside, making the tearoom’s garden seating a delightful experience away from the summer rush. The cosy indoor setting, however, remains a welcome haven at any time of year.
