Fodor's Expert Review Bodysgallen Hall

Tasteful antiques, polished wood, and comfortable chairs by cheery fires distinguish one of Wales's most luxurious country-house hotels. The part-17th-, part-18th-century building is set in walled gardens 2 miles out of town. Bedrooms in the house combine elegance and practicality; seekers of privacy may prefer the cottage suites scattered around the estate. The outstanding restaurant makes good use of local ingredients and, pleasingly, there are separate vegetarian and vegan menus.
