“This historic Victorian manor house situated next to Snowdonia National Park, makes you feel like royalty in traditional, elegant rooms and suites. The cosy library is a perfect spot for curling up with a good book after a day out trekking. Divine cuisine, gorgeous surroundings - a perfect retreat”

Hotel review

Remote, rural, and with a royal connection, this former family home once saw Queen Victoria take a ten day stay in one of its bedrooms, now the Victoria Room. With crackling open fires to welcome you as you return from a hike in the hills, and afternoon tea served in the snug library, this traditional and historic hotel is an arcadian retreat with four poster beds and roll top tubs in its country house style suites and rooms. A fine dining menu featuring Welsh specialities with locally sourced ingredients, is served in the Henry Robertson restaurant, while next door in the cosy bar cocktails are shaken and Welsh wines are poured, both overlooking the grounds where sheep roam and highland cattle huddle. Take a turn around the garden and discover the sculpture park, then relax by the fire with a good book, or settle into your room, enjoying the complimentary honey mead.

Palé Hall

"The hotel offers a combination of grand bedrooms, exquisite food and old-world charm."

Originally published by The Telegraph

Stepping back in time at this remarkable Victorian

"They don’t make hotels like Palé Hall any more; it’s like stepping back in time, though not on the culinary front. In a brilliant move, Michael Caines has been retained as the executive chef and his signature dishes are being realised by one of his former head chefs, Gareth Stevenson"

Snowdonia Hotels

"it has 18 guest rooms and suites, each individually decorated with William Morris prints and luxurious fabrics. Although, to really feel like royalty check in to the Victoria Suite to lie in the original bed the Queen once slept in"
