Castell Deudraeth, Grade II listed castle and hotel in Penrhyndeudraeth, Great Britain.
Castell Deudraeth is a country house with castle-like features in Penrhyndeudraeth, Wales, built from local slate and now operating as a hotel. The building has a three-storey central block with adjoining sections of varying height, combining its historic structure with modern guest rooms.
The building was originally called Bron Eryn and was erected in the 18th century before being bought by David Williams in 1841, who had it substantially redesigned. That work gave the house its current castle-like appearance and the name Castell Deudraeth.
The rooms display works by Sir Kyffin Williams and Marc Chagall prints, while restored oak paneling and stone fireplaces mark the interior spaces. These artworks connect the building to both local Welsh culture and international artistic traditions.
The hotel sits at the edge of Penrhyndeudraeth, within easy walking distance of the village center. Guests can head out on foot to explore the surrounding hills and coast without needing a car for short trips.
The interior still has restored oak paneling and stone fireplaces from the Victorian renovation, which survived the conversion to a hotel. Works by Sir Kyffin Williams and prints by Marc Chagall hang in the rooms, which is an unexpected combination for a small country hotel.
