An architecturally intriguing country house, here you can relax amid beautiful lounges and thoughtfully furnished rooms. Throughout the hotel you will be surrounded by fine antiques, paintings and sumptuous furnishings. Take a traditional Welsh tea in the drawing room, beside an inviting log fire; or, in the summer, let it be brought out to the garden, beneath the chestnut tree. Later, enjoy a candlelit meal in the award-winning restaurant, complemented by a wine list to rival any in Wales.
To aid your relaxation further, the on site Kingfisher Spa offers a peaceful 15 metre swimming pool, supplemented by a sauna, gym and an outdoor balcony hot-tub. A range of health and beauty treatments allow body and mind to truly unwind.
The house is an architectural mix, having been built in 1840 and remodelled in 1900. Mock-Tudor timber are contrasted by Colonial style verandas and French windows. Built as a hunting and fishing lodge, the hotel has a rich history; from the turn of the 20th century until World War II, it was the only barium spa resort outside of Germany.
Back in 1912 Germany's Wilhelm II left his homeland and made the long journey to this secluded hideaway in Mid-wales, into order to take in the legendary barium spa waters and to sample the much-fabled Welsh hospitality.
More than 90 years on, an air of elegance and calm informality pervades this exquisitely furnished Welsh country house. Standing serenely in its own 50 acres of parkland, with sweeping lawns, rhododendron lined pathways and riverside walks, this magnificent retreat is comfort epitomised.
In its award-winning restaurant, fresh local ingredients and creative thought combine to create a modern Celtic style of cuisine. Dishes are freshly prepared using the finest produce, including herbs from its on garden. Served with sparkling crystal amid a soft, candlelit atmosphere, you’ll also have a superb choice of over 300 wines.
