Summary of reviews related to the 'Historic' category

Elen's Castle Bed, Breakfast and Bar is a destination that offers guests a charming glimpse into history. Occupying a really old building, it stands as a beautiful historic property with a great old-fashioned atmosphere permeating throughout the place. Despite some guests mentioning that the decor could be seen as rather tatty, the inn's old coaching heritage and character provide a quaint and endearing experience. The property presents a lovely opportunity to step back in time, with its unique charm and historic importance shining through. Situated at a location perfect for great walks right on your doorstep, Elen's Castle Bed, Breakfast and Bar is a picturesque escape reminiscent of a bygone era, capturing the essence of an old-fashioned inn in a delightfully positive way.

Year erected:1770

What is the history of the property?Once the home of Baron Gwydir, Earl of Ancaster, Elen's Castle formed part of his Welsh Estate. Named after the daughter of Llywelyn the Great who was born in the castle here in the village of Dolwyddelan. The holtel was sold to the Baron's gamekeeper when it became a hotel which specialised in hunting parties. We have a roman well on the property purported to have healing properties.

What was the era and/or the architectural style in which the property was built?We are not sure of the date but we are told it is over 300 years old. It is built of solid slate as are the coach houses. The bar is set in the original kitchen with a large fireplace with a pot bellied log stove
