Hafod Elwy Hall



Review


'Far from anywhere', on a working farm on 'the bare mountains of Denbighshire', stands Roger and Wendy Charles-Warner's 'characterful house with an Edwardian feel'; 'a great place'. 'The welcome is personal, natural, unforced.' The 'very green' owners have won awards for sustainability. There are wood-burning stoves in the bay-windowed lounge and the red-walled dining room. 'Lots of odd knick-knackery.' Original features include slate floors, bread oven, archways, old wells. Two bedrooms have a four-poster (one has a big cast iron bath and a thunderbox loo in its bathroom). One room is let with an adjacent small single room. All lamb, pork and beef comes from the farm; 'eggs from our own hens, nothing bought in'. Vegetables and fruit are organically grown. 'The cooking is country style, authentic. Delicious sucking pig.' No liquor licence; bring your own. 'Stylish bedrooms with everything one could wish for.' Normally up to six people are catered for, but there is 'scope for flexibility'. 'Very isolated; should be a magnet for those tired of city life, who want lovely home-grown, home-cooked food, peace and quiet, nice hosts.' A non-refundable deposit of 20% is required to ensure a booking. Not easy to find: 'Not on most satnavs.' (JR)
