White Horse Inn, Llanrwst

The White Horse is at the centre of Capel Garmon village, but is somewhere you wouldn't find in passing. We'd seen from a couple of Google reviews that the pub had been trading in the height of last summer, but we couldn't find any social media presence or even a working telephone number. As such, we weren't expecting to find it open when we arrived on the car park at midday on a Sunday. However lo and behold, there were another couple sat in a car waiting for the pub to open and it opened a few minutes later. New owners said they had re-opened it fairly recently. It has a fairly basic interior, circling around a central bar. From our table we could see the cellar through the floorboards. The other couple had arrived for lunch, but we were there just for a drink. There was even a cask ale on the bar from a brewery we had passed on our way west along the A5 - Cwrw Nant Aur Y Felin, a golden beer. The young landlady was very chatty and welcoming. I really hope they can make a good go of this pub, as it's a charming place in a secluded village.
