Plas Tan-yr-allt

Plas Tan-yr-allt won a coveted Cesar Award from the Good Hotel Guide being named the Welsh Country House of the Year 2008. This award led to an invitation for Michael Bewick and Nick Golding to meet HM The Queen earlier this year at a reception attended by the luminaries of the hospitality industry.

“This Grade II listed Regency style property is an ideal place to relax and abandon your worries … it makes a stylish and convenient base if you want to leave the comfort of the grounds and explore further afield.”

Observer, October 2005


“Plas Tan-yr-allt’s doors were opened earlier this year to reveal a vibrant place to stay … Percy the parrot calls out gruff hellos of welcome from his cage in the hall as my husband and I arrive and Nick resplendent in apron (he cooks fantastic dinners) greets us.”

Daily Express, August 2005


“… a six room bolthole that exemplifies contemporary country-house style.”
