Feeling lucky? You could win an overnight stay at Bodysgallen to include afternoon tea, dinner and breakfast the next day and use of the spa facilities.
Bodysgallen Hall is situated south of the town of Llandudno in North Wales, on the west of Pydew mountain. The word “bodysgallen” has been interpreted as “house among the thistles”. Bodysgallen Hall is a Grade I 17th Century house that has gradually evolved over the centuries from modest hamlet to a large and comfortable country house, with restored and converted outbuildings, surrounded by one of the finest Arts and Crafts gardens in Wales.

This early-17th-century block has five storeys, including attics and cellar, and its austere detailing and mullioned windows set the pattern for all future work at the house. Its two main storeys comprise a large low hall entered at terrace level from the west, and an equally large chamber above, which became the drawing room.
Both rooms open in one corner into a curious little bay, with windows on two sides and a fireplace on the third; and both have heraldic overmantels. The hall is carved, with the arms of Gruffydd ap Cynan, Wynn and Colwyn.
The long connection between the house and the Mostyn family started in the sixteenth century, late in the Elizabethan era, when it was owned by Richard Mostyn, who served as High Sheriff of Caernarfonshire, that it became a residential house.
Today, Bodysgallen Hall is an award-winning hotel home to one of North Wales’ finest restaurants awarded 3 AA Rosettes serving traditional Welsh cuisine. The hotel is also home to a spa with an indoor swimming pool. The hotel offers 31 spacious bedrooms, a combination of rooms in the main house and cottages within the grounds. The gardens are a true highlight here and have been featured on the BBC show ‘Glorious Gardens from Above’ with several themed garden tours available throughout the year, hosted by the head gardener.
