Plas Tan-Yr-Allt
Tremadog, Gwynedd
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘A bit of luxury in the middle of Snowdonia’, with views over the Glaslyn estuary, this B&B in a late Georgian villa comes with an interesting history, told through its bedroom names. Beamed Shelley’s Theatre recalls the year that the budding romantic poet lived here and completed his utopian epic Queen Mab. It has a four-poster, antiques, night-time views of ‘studded heaven’s dark blue vault’. William Madocks, with sea and mountain views, celebrates a former owner who oversaw the construction of Porthmadog’s sea wall, which ushered in the development of the Ffestiniog Railway that runs nearby. The third, with half-tester bed, recalls Hilda Greaves, born here in 1855, who engaged nephew Clough Williams-Ellis to restore the ‘Triumph of Neptune’ mural. Each has a coffee machine, fresh milk, a mini-fridge, cut flowers, a heated bathroom floor, luxury toiletries. Howard Mattingley and Mark White are ‘great hosts’ and serve afternoon tea in the drawing room. ‘Breakfast is plentiful and cooked to order.’ ‘A beautiful hotel in a beautiful location with great service’ runs a typical report.
