Written by Rachel Wallace

This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday, so why not make a whole weekend of it in beautiful North Wales? With breathtaking scenery, endless outdoor activities and of course, a fantastic selection of Robinsons pubs, it’s the perfect place to escape, unwind and spend some quality time together.

The Goat Inn, Glandwyfach

The Goat Inn near Porthmadog truly captures everything you want from a classic country pub. Think stone walls, wooden beams, a traditional bar and roaring fires, it truly is the ideal place to warm up after a walk or a day of exploring. The food is not to be missed either, with locally sourced ingredients, hearty pub classics and perfectly poured beers to finish it all off.

With Criccieth Beach just 3.7 miles away, Criccieth Castle close by and plenty of attractions nearby, The Goat Inn is perfectly positioned for exploring the area. It’s also close to a range of places to stay, making it a brilliant pit stop on your North Wales adventure.

St Tudwals Inn, Abersoch

Our Pub Partners at The Goat also run the St Tudwals Inn in Abersoch, another standout destination set in one of North Wales’ most idyllic coastal locations. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Abersoch, the St Tuds sits at the centre of this much-loved seaside hotspot, known for its beaches, harbour and vibrant water-sports scene.

Whether you’re planning a romantic Valentine’s escape or a relaxed coastal break for the weekend, a visit to the St Tudwals Inn is a must. Be sure to book a table and enjoy a menu celebrating fresh, locally sourced ingredients, with an excellent selection of seafood that showcases the very best of the Welsh coast.

Tanronnen Inn, Beddgelert

If you haven’t visited Beddgelert yet, take this as your sign. Popular with walkers, hikers and cyclists, it’s easy to see why. This picturesque Snowdonia village is full of charming stone buildings and has views of stunning mountain range. The Tanronnen Inn sits right in the heart of the village, next to the iconic stone bridge, and even offers accommodation, making it a strong starting point for exploring the best of Snowdonia. Our Pub Partners also run the Prince Llewelyn just across the bridge, which is another fantastic option for food, drinks and accommodation.

George III, Penmaenpool

Set in one of the most peaceful locations on the North Wales coast, the George III is perfect for a truly relaxing weekend away. Located right on the estuary, you can open your window to stunning views and fall asleep to nothing but the sounds of nature. The pub serves delicious food and great ales, so everything you need is right there. Activity-wise, the George III sits on the Mawddach Trail - a beautiful, fully accessible walking and cycling route. Our team will even help organise local bike hire, just ask! Situated between Dolgellau and Barmouth, it’s an ideal base for a weekend full of exploring.

Bridge End Hotel, Llangollen

For a getaway with a bit of everything, Llangollen ticks all the boxes. The Bridge End Hotel is located right on Llangollen’s high street. The town has plenty to offer for a day or two, from independent shops to kayaking and white-water rafting or exploring the local heritage, it has something for everyone, whether you’re after something relaxed or a bit more adventurous.

The peaceful sound of the River Dee alone is reason enough to visit, but there’s more to explore, including the Llangollen Railway with its heritage trains and the popular Llangollen Canal. A walk across the iconic Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a must, and for those feeling energetic, a hike up to Castell Dinas Brân rewards you with stunning views across Denbighshire. Just a 40-minute drive from Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) and easily accessible from Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham, the Bridge End Hotel is ideal for a Welsh getaway or even a spontaneous day trip on Valentine’s Day.
