C1 Hotels & HostelsBodysgallen Hall Hotel originally won a Civic Trust Award in 1984. This is an original Elizabethan house which was the home of the Mostyn family. It has been sensitively brought back to life as a hotel and spa. The present owners have respected the age and fabric of the building and the scheme comprised restoration, new building and reconstruction as well as preservation of some original features. Much care has been taken to preserve the relationship of the building to its formal and informal garden landscapes; the formal gardens have been reformed to match the original designs.
