Plas Tan-Yr-Allt
You can lie in an antique four-poster in the William Madocks room at this singular B&B with views over the Glaslyn estuary to the Rhinog mountains, and listen to steam trains puffing along the sea wall. More
Good Hotel Guide Review
'A bit of luxury in Snowdonia', this B&B has 'breathtaking views' over the Glaslyn estuary to the Rhinog mountains. A 'beautiful historic country house', its bedrooms are named after former famous residents. Shelley’s Theatre recalls the poet Percy B, who wrote Queen Mab here before doing a flit, claiming someone had tried to assassinate him. Miss Hilda’s room with a half tester honours Hilda Greaves, born at the Plas in 1855, aunt of Clough Williams-Ellis (see Hotel Portmeirion, Portmeirion). The William Madocks room, with an antique four-poster, is named after the man who built both the sea wall (the ‘Cob’) and Tremadog itself, incorporating a small house on the hillside above town into the late Georgian villa of today. All rooms have a coffee machine, mini-fridge, Welsh toiletries. It feels 'quiet and secluded – another world'. Howard Mattingley and Mark White are 'warm and friendly' hosts. ‘On arrival we were met by Mark, who settled us in and arranged a lovely tea in the drawing room.’ In the morning, guests are served an 'excellent breakfast'.
