Countryside Escapade In Beautiful North Wales

by | May 24, 2019 | Lux Stays

Luxurious blend of tradition and modern in this stunning mansion

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]There’s nothing more British than a hearty breakfast spread, best enjoyed in the comforts of a rustic, homely bed-and-breakfast. Caer Rhun Hall takes all of that and ups the luxury quotient in this quiet corner of the world.

Recently opened following a refurbishment, Caer Rhun Hall, part of Whisper Hotels, is a sprawling, three-storey late-Victorian mansion that’s set in the magnificent Welsh countryside. It’s the perfect base for a leisurely bike through the woods: additionally, the beautiful North Wales Coastline, with its sandy beaches and fringed mountains, are all within a 15-minute drive from the property.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Rooms are slick and modern, but replete with traditional touches, such as mahogany fireplaces and roll-top baths.

The centrepiece of the dining room is undoubtedly the length country table, which transforms each morning into a mouthwatering spread of local meats, cheeses, breads and other produce from the local farming community.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The atmosphere at Caer Rhun Hall is one of old luxury, combined with an unhurried atmosphere and a countryside setting, makings of a cosy, memorable stay. For the ideal long weekend, the best way to get there is to rent a car from London and drive northwest on the M1 towards North Wales coastline, passing near Oxford and Birmingham along the way.

What’s nearby: Snowdon – Wales’s highest mountain, Snowdonia National Park (take the Snowdon Mountain Railway for picturesque views of the countryside), Llandudno’s sculpture trail and the Victorian tramway up 1,500 m to Great Orme Country Park and Nature Reserve. whisperhotelscollection.com [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Subscribe to the latest edition now by clicking here.
