Situated at the end of a tree lined drive of one of oldest roads (A5), the hotel occupies it's own land in the magnificent Vale of Llangollen in North Wales with spectacular scenery, mountains, waterfalls, canals, steam railways and historic buildings. The markey towns of Oswestry and Wrexham are a little over 10 minutes drive away and historic Chester just 25 minutes. With it's superb views of the ruins of Dinas Bran Castle, you can really take in the panoramic scenery from the windows of the Cedar Tree Restaurant. The awarding winning restaurant- traditional in style - uses fresh, daily delivered local produce to create a unique and classical menu. The bar follows the same trends with it's ornate ceiling, leather chairs and historic fireplace. The original Country House was built in the late 19th Century durign the reign of Queen Victoria and has now been sympathetically developed whilst retaining the original features and ambience. The lobby is of a good size, more modern in contrast to the other rooms in the hotel with plenty of beige couches providing ample amounts of seating.
