| Llandudno (quoted from the Mostyn Estates website)
"For the past five hundred years the history of the Mostyn family has been closely
intertwined with the development of Llandudno. The majority of the town as we know it today was laid out in 1849 by the Mostyn
family, who leased most of the plots for development and influenced the building design and uses of land. Generations of the
Mostyn family have been instrumental in preserving the rich heritage of Llandudno and promoting the development and economic
prosperity of the area."
The Hotel
This imposing property was commissioned in
1860 by Thomas Edward Mostyn (1830 ~ 1861) as a luxury home for his daughter. Thomas, who was a wealthy landowner, could afford
the best. He chose a beautiful location at the base of the Great Orme in what is now known as the old town. It was built from
welsh stone to the highest specifications by the best tradesmen. Nearly all the masonry & woodwork is original, a living
testament to quality craftsmanship and materials used. With a total of 25 rooms the house was and still is the epitome of
Victorian elegance. With high ceilings, ornately decorated and amply sized rooms, it was one of the best properties in the
town.
In 1945 the house was converted it into an hotel by a new owner. The sympathetic conversion preserves the original
features such as the grand entrance. With the downstairs rooms furnished in Victorian style the house retains the luxury feeling
of days long gone.
2002 saw the Hotel acquired by the McNamara's. Both vastly experienced in the leisure industry,
Andy & Debbie are improving the Hotel gradually, incorporating modern technology, such as discreet CCTV security, wireless
Broadband and computerised administration.
This unique property is maintained to the highest standards. A home from home,
the clientele is varied with many returning year on year. You will not be disappointed....... |
