The Bedrooms

Madocks

Madocks is named after William Alexander Madocks who built the main part of Tanny in 1800 and also built The Cob and Tremadog village. Historically the principal bedroom of the house it is situated above the Drawing Room so is not ideal if you are early to bed people. Madocks is a large, spacious, airy room with a neutral and modern feel. It has two windows to the south with long range views over the Traeth, Cob and sea to the Rhinog mountains beyond with glimpses of Harlech Castle in the distance and a window to the east overlooking the Library Lawn. There is a 5’ wide metal bedstead, pure cotton sheets, feather pillows and duvet (please let us know if you’re allergic to feathers), two seat sofa, tea & coffee making facilities and a ‘Hidden’ Bathroom which has a slate floor with underfloor heating and towel warmer.

Miss Hilda

Miss Hilda is named after a maiden aunt of Clough Williams-Ellis, the creator of Portmeirion, who lived at Tanny most of her life. Miss Hilda is a pretty room with spectacular views to the south. It also has an intriguing fireplace with a window above it which actually worked although history doesn’t relate how much smoke ended up in the room! This window overlooks Parry’s Lawn to the east. There is a spacious bathroom also with wonderful southerly views as well as underfloor heating and towel warmer. Slightly smaller than Madocks and having a 4’6” bed with a Corona it has the great advantage that you can lie in the bed or the bath and see the view.

Shelley's Theatre

Shelley’s Theatre is a room full of history. Part of the early pre-1800 house which was here when William Madocks arrived this large, beamed room was once part of a double height room where the poet Shelley is reputed to have given readings of his radical ideas and poetry. In the 20th century it was the Nursery with a row of little beds for children and Nanny’s area curtained off in one corner. Now it is one of our most magnificent bedrooms and certainly our most romantic with its beautiful 5’ four poster bed and crewelwork hangings, a two-seat sofa and window seat overlooking the library lawn and magnificent two hundred year old beech trees. The large, striking bathroom is painted Bible Black and has an antique marble basin surround.

Benson

Benson is named after E. F. Benson the author who stayed with friends at Tanny in the early 20th century. A pretty twin room that can also be made up as a King Size double, the room is completely decorated in lavender Toile de Jouy with a large bathroom which is blessed with underfloor heating for its eccentrically sloping floor. The views from this room are to the cliffs at the back of the house and since we cleared the top of the cliffs you can now watch rabbits and birds darting around in your eye line.

Peacock

Peacock is named for Thomas Love Peacock a contemporary of Madocks and Shelley who stayed at Tanny in the early 19th century and married the daughter of a nearby Vicar. It is a small but cosy room with a 4’6” cream four-poster bed and wonderful views to the south from both the bedroom and the bathroom.

Billington

Billington is named after Elizabeth Billington a famous early 19th century opera star and visitor to Tanny. It is a large, dramatic room painted in an historic red colour and has two windows with great views to the south from the bedroom. It has a 5’ wide metal bedstead, big leather armchair and footstool as well as a pretty dressing table with flamboyant William IV toilet mirror. The room has the largest and most glamorous bathroom in the house with a roll top bath and a separate walk-in shower as well as windows to the rear and west.

Parry

Parry is named after Miss Parry who came to Tan-yr-allt as a girl and stayed here as housekeeper until 1984 thereby celebrating its origins as the Victorian kitchen and pantries. It is now transformed into our largest suite with an enormous bedroom with a contemporary 6’ four-poster bed, two leather armchairs, window seats and views to the South from two windows. It has a charming little TV room to the rear of the house where you can relax in your own private lounge and a modern bathroom in slate with a walk-in shower and underfloor heating. This suite has its own entrance from the drive with a hall, a kitchenette and it’s own glazed door out into the garden and a private verandah. Please note you do have to go outside to access the main house.
