Second stay, just as enjoyable as the first. Staff are friendly, rooms are a good size though it can be a bit of a walk from reception and a little maze like. Nice location although the building itself is showing signs of its age. Spa downstairs is well equipped and there are lots of peacocks wandering around the grounds. Area is very nice, close to Snowdon, not too far from Chester or the coast.

The room was very very tired , chipped bath, windows that don’t fully close, tea and coffee facilities closed in a filthy dingy cupboard, booked a double room for our wedding anniversary and we were given a room with two single beds pushed together. Would not return and would not recommend really disappointing stay
