Inspector comments
"First class service and friendly staff in a fine country house hotel."
Overview
Set on the edge of Snowdonia National Park overlooking the River Dee, Palé Hall was originally built in 1871 by industrialist Henry Robertson with the instruction that ‘no expense should be spared’. The result was a grand Victorian mansion that has played host to many important figures including Churchill and Queen Victoria; the bath and bed used by Victoria are still in place today. Richly decorated lounges, open fires and elegant public rooms create an atmosphere of traditional country house comfort, while attentive service adds to the sense of relaxed indulgence. Bedrooms and suites are individually styled, many with far-reaching views across the Dee Valley and surrounding countryside, blending classic character with modern luxury. Dining is central to the experience, with refined seasonal cooking showcased in the restaurant under the direction of acclaimed chef Luke Selby. Together with welcoming hospitality and a tranquil rural setting, Pale Hall offers a polished and relaxing base for exploring the landscapes of North Wales.

About the area
The county of Gwynedd is home to most of the Snowdonia National Park – including the wettest spot in Britain, an arête running up to Snowdon’s summit that receives an average annual rainfall of 4,473mm. With its mighty peaks, rivers and strong Welsh heritage (it has the highest proportion of Welsh-speakers in all of Wales), it’s always been an extremely popular place to visit and live.
