Plas Tan-Yr-Allt
Tremadog, Gwynedd
Good Hotel Guide Review
Surrounded by gardens and ancient woodland, with views over the Glaslyn estuary to the Rhinog mountains, this late Georgian villa-turned-B&B revels in its rich history. Bedrooms are named after notable past residents – William Madocks, who built the house; Percy Bysshe Shelley, who spent a year here completing Queen Mab; and Mary Hilda, who was born at the Plas, and whose nephew Clough Williams-Ellis was responsible for a mural, ‘The Triumph of Neptune’. Luxuries include an Italian espresso machine, a mini-fridge, fresh flowers, and a bathroom with heated slate floor. You can lie in a four-poster in dual-aspect Madocks Room and hear the steam trains on the Ffestiniog railway chuffing across the sea wall that was also his creation. A cream tea is served in the drawing room, with ‘sumptuous furnishings’, a baby grand and drinks globe, or on the veranda. Breakfast, cooked by owners Howard Mattingley and Mark White, brings ‘a nice selection of cereals and juices followed by a choice of items freshly cooked to order’. Readers are full of praise for the ‘excellent accommodation with convivial hosts’. (Ian Morgan, Andrew Billingsley, and others)
