An Grade II listed landmark near Betws-y-Coed – T? Hyll (The Ugly House) – which has just been named the Best Traditional Tea Room 2026 in Conwy County, has failed to sell at auction reports North Wales Pioneer.
North Wales Pioneer writes:
T? Hyll (The Ugly House), a traditional Welsh tea room, garden and woodland… went under the hammer on September 23…
… However, the reserve price was not met and the property did not sell at auction
Cymdeithas Eryri, which has owned the property since 1988, listed the historic house, tea room and woodland for sale after a decision was made to redirect resources elsewhere…
…
The sale of the property devastated the current occupant, who said they had offered to buy the property but this was turned down by the society. A petition to save T? Hyll has now attracted more than 1,200 signatures…
