Wales' highest rated country house hotel is a distinguished 17th century hall, set in 200 acres of parkland, with spectacular views of Snowdonia and Conwy Castle.
Bodysgallen Hall and Spa has been restored and refurbished by Historic House Hotels Ltd in a traditional, elegant country house style with antique furniture, fine artworks and precious collectables, the hotel has the atmosphere of a private home. Buildings such as the farm, cottages, stables and coach house have been sympathetically modified to accommodate the spa, meeting rooms, guest accommodation and the recently opened restaurant, 1620.
