Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Cottage Loaf
The Cottage Loaf is tucked away behind Llandudno's branch of Wetherspoon's. There is a small bar area as you enter, with a raised dining area off to the right and a further dining area to the rear. It is fairly dark inside the two front rooms, but quite cosy. A patio at the front also has plenty of seating. With the pub being well hidden, it is a reasonably tranquil setting.
Conwy Welsh Pride & Timothy Taylor Landlord are the regular ales. They also generally have something from Purple Moose. This was Elderflower Ale on our first visit, but was later replaced by High Hops. Other ales on were Strawberry Fields Kaleidoscope & Big Bog Padi. Padi was replaced by another of their beers (Spring Bog) on a subsequent visit. The real cider was Gwynt y Ddraig Black Dragon and there was also a perry from Dudda's Tun.
Food appears to be the main draw here, but drinkers are welcome and tables are kept reserved for drinkers. We decided to eat here on our final night, only to be told that the dining area was fully booked. However, if a table in the bar became available, we could take that and place an order, as long as it was before 7:30pm. It was just our bad luck that the first table became free at 7:31pm, but others were already being turned away. The stupid thing was that the restaurant areas had loads of empty tables. So what difference did it make where we sat?! A strange policy indeed and they lost any further business from us.

Upmarket rustic backstreet pub/diner which seems a lot older than many of the surrounding buildings. Previously a bakery, hence the name, converted in the 1980’s. Larger inside than you'd think; wood beamed ceiling, wood planks and an impressive inglenook with a stove. Large flagged front area with tidy raised sections to the side and rear as well as nice outside seating areas at the front and rear. Ale-wise it was Conwy Welsh Pride (NBSS 4) alongside Courage Directors, TTL, Big Bog and Weetwood – not bad, if a bit samey. Ate here and it was nice food, worth the ticket price. A nice comfy middle class place, though getting a seat just for drinking at peak times might well be a struggle.

Hidden in a backstreet, this place looks a bit like a restaurant, and indeed much of it is, however the middle part round the bar is very pubby, with stone floors and beams. Draught ales included Landlord, Directors, Conwy Welsh Pride and something I wrote down as Marston's Citra, although that could have been a mistake.
