This is one of the most charming hotels and pubs in town. You could ask Theodore Roosevelt, if he were still around. Much has changed since the American president stayed here in the late 1800s, but much is still the same as well. Laden with carved beams and local artifacts, Ty Gwyn is low slung, sitting on the opposite side of Waterloo Bridge from the rest of town. Inside it's a world of old prints and chintz, time-darkened beams, and copper pans. Originally it was a coaching inn from the 16th century, drawing horsemen traveling between London and the ferryboats to Ireland. The rooms, often small, are still comfortably furnished, often with a four-poster or a half-tester bed (ca. 1800). The best unit has a "health spa" tub, small lounge, and private balcony. There are four rooms without private bathrooms.
The restaurant's menu features local Welsh dishes as well as more exotic fare from Thailand and elsewhere. There is always a homemade soup of the day and a wide selection of vegetarian dishes.
