Hotel Maes-y-Neuadd, Gwynedd, North Wales
Hotel Maes-y-Neuadd is a picturesque manor house dating back to the 14th century, overlooking some of the prettiest countryside in Wales, with some stunning views of Snowdonia. The exterior of this country hotel hides some dark secrets, however; ghosts reflected in mirrors and a phantom dog.
Description
Most haunted hotels are a little frightening. Not this one – Maes-y-Neuadd is home to a ghostly nursemaid, who often appears when guests at the hotel are unwell. Rather than being frightened in the presence of an apparition, many of the guests report feeling calm and content in her presence. A ghostly dog has also been spotted roaming around the garden by many of the guests.
Other phantom figures have also been spotted in the hotel – but only reflected in mirrors.
Brief History
Maes-y-Neuadd is an old country house that dates way back to the 14th century. The oldest part of the hotel was built just one century after Edward 1st’s castle was built at nearby Harlech. Additions were made to the property in the 16th, 18th and 20th centuries, making this hotel a wonderful mixture of different architectural styles. The Jackson and Payne families sympathetically refurbished the hotel, turning it into a cosy, comfortable hotel with bags of old-world charm and plenty of Welsh character.
About
The hotel boasts 15 en-suite bedrooms, all decorated in a different style to reflect the different periods in which the property was built. Some of the rooms have 16th century beams and there are even two rooms that date back to the 14th century. All of the rooms are furnished with soft and comfortable furniture and homely soft furnishings, making this a hotel that feels just like a home from home.
