The nearby Manor House is the perfect complement to the new hotel; since the early 1980s it has been recognised as one of Wales’ finest places to stay, and was awarded Egon Ronay’s top prize for five consecutive years. The 70 guest rooms and suites have retained the character of the 19th century property itself, which sits amidst beautifully manicured gardens. Inside the Manor, guests can choose to drink or dine in The Patio Restaurant, the Cellar Bar or Hedley’s, the Manor Bar.
