Trefeddian Hotel

Aberdovey

Treffedian Hotel has closed, but hopes to reopen in February 2021. It may have a four-star rating, but there is nothing too swanky about this child-friendly, dog-friendly hotel overlooking Cardigan Bay, across the road from dunes, golf links and white-sand beach.

‘How could a simple family home on a narrow, bustling high street possibly work as a popular guest house? Step inside Cnapan and you quickly find out.

Plas Bodegroes, Pwllheli

On the remote Llyn peninsula, Gunna and Chris Chown’s Georgian country house, in a magical woodland setting, is run as a much-loved restaurant-with-rooms, offering ‘good food, a relaxed atmosphere, peace and quiet, and a beautifully maintained garden in an area of outstanding natural beauty’.

Y Goeden Eirin, Caernarfon

Up narrow Love Lane in a town under Cader Idris, this dark-stone Victorian rectory-turned-hotel makes a stylish base for a trip to Snowdonia.

Dolffanog Fawr, Tywyn

Few guest houses have as magnificent a mise en scène as this one in Snowdonia, set among pretty lawned gardens, with views across sheep-filled pastures to Tal-y-llyn lake and Cader Idris.

The Falcondale, Lampeter

Sweeping views across the Teifi valley are just one reason why this Grade II listed Italianate villa is a popular choice for weddings.

St Brides Spa Hotel, Saundersfoot

The panoramic views of Saundersfoot harbour and the coastline from this modern hotel above Carmarthen Bay are ‘exceptional’ – and the inward calm that washes over guests in the award-winning spa isn’t bad, either.

Nanteos Mansion, Aberystwyth

Sheep-spotted hills stretch away from this Grade I listed manor house, which stands in tranquil seclusion in its own wooded grounds.
