Ynyshir Hall Country House Hotel  

Solitude is precious and readily available at Ynyshir Hall once owned by Queen Victoria and set amongst breathtaking scenery in the secret heart of Wales. Cradled in 14 acres of glorious gardens this luxury hotel in Wales sits midst the splendour of the Dyfi Estuary surrounded by mountains that were once the refuge of the Celtic princes and has been cherished by a succession of eminent owners.This luxury country house hotel in Wales has the good fortune to share its Dovey estuary location with one of Britain's finest bird reserves the RSPB Ynys-hir Nature Reserve. The walk to the estuary from the hotel is a magical ramble. The Dovey estuary is also the only Welsh Biosphere Reserve. Ynyshir Hall hotel is a place so quiet that birdsong is almost an intrusion so dark that the Milky Way shines like a diamond bracelet with air so pure you relish every breath. Here in the heart of a country steeped in myth and magic still mercifully undiscovered by the masses you can walk over wild open mountains through valleys cut by tumbling crystal waters across wide sandy beaches.
