A fine Arts & Crafts country house set on a hillside garden terraced with excellent views of the Ceiriog Valley at Pontfadog near Llangollen North Wales, 4 miles from Llangollen or Chirk. A charity owned retreat and study centre with rooms sometimes available for self-catering stays. N.B. Our House Rules are set by our charity Trustees. Please read them and enquire before booking as we are STRICTLY VEGETARIAN & for health & safety reasons we do not HOST CHILDREN UNDER 7 or guest pet dogs. The space This is a grade II listed Arts and Craft building surrounded by a lawned terrace and set in 10 acres of wooded hillside in the Ceiriog valley. The building has a fascinating history connected to the White Rajas of Sarawak in Borneo. This, along with our core function as a retreat and study centre, makes Tan-y-Garth Hall Retreat an unusual, interesting and peaceful place to stay at affordable cost. However because of this, it is not a suitable building for younger children under the age of seven. Otherwise it is an ideal place for family, friends or colleagues, to get together in a beautiful location. Would best suit those seeking a peaceful environment to explore the area around Llangollen, Chirk and the uncrowded Berwyn Mountains to which the Ceiriog valley forms the gateway. Also suitable for outdoor pursuits groups, or as an alternative, cost- effective base, for day trips to Snowdonia and the North Wales coast. We offer simple, clean, comfortable rooms and superb views. If you think of us as a peaceful, upmarket hostel rather than a down market hotel, you are not likely to be disappointed! Please note this is a large country house. You are renting a large part, but not all of the building. This listing includes exclusive use of :- 3 bedrooms, 2 with seating areas (total 9 single beds), large well equipped kitchen, dining room (seats up to 12), large library/sitting room (seats up to 13) and 2 bathrooms.

Please also note that we are an all VEGETARIAN establishment, with no meat or fish cooking or consumption on the premises. Eggs and dairy are fine, as is modest consumption of alcohol e.g. with meals or for a celebration. However, we can highly recommend the nearby Swan Inn, a five minute walk down a quite lane to Pontfadog village, which offers good gastro pub meals for meat eaters and vegetarians, plus a good range of beers, wines and spirits. N.B. Whilst our normal events focus on and the study of yoga, philosophy, arts, science and religion, we welcome people of all faiths or none as our quests at all times. Guest access There are two of us living in the house to look after it, but we have our own separate rooms from your rooms.
