Faenol Fawr, Tudor country house hotel in Bodelwyddan, Wales.

This Elizabethan mansion features an H-shaped layout with crow-stepped gables, Tudor fireplaces, and original staircases throughout the structure.

Built in 1595 by John Lloyd, the Registrar of St Asaph during Queen Elizabeth's reign, the mansion underwent substantial modifications around 1725.

The building reflects Welsh architectural traditions through its name, where Faenol translates to Manor and Fawr means big in the Welsh language.

The hotel offers continental breakfast, function rooms for events accommodating up to 140 guests, and self-catering cottages with access to leisure facilities.

A fire in 1980 led to extensive restoration work, transforming this Grade II listed building from a private residence into a country house hotel.
