Plas Bodegroes, Grade II* listed building in Llannor, United Kingdom
Plas Bodegroes is a two-story Georgian country house with a white-rendered exterior, distinguished by a long rear veranda supported by iron pillars. The building sits within private grounds accessed via a private driveway from nearby Bodegroes Lodge off the Pwllheli road.
The house was built in 1780 for William Griffith by architect Joseph Bromfield, who employed Georgian design principles in its construction. Its transformation into a restaurant property during the 20th century marked a significant shift in its purpose.
The property was once celebrated as a dining destination when it housed a Michelin-starred restaurant with guest rooms, a distinction that set it apart in Wales. This culinary legacy still shapes how visitors experience the place today.
As a vacation rental, the property provides private spaces and walking paths through surrounding gardens with designated historic importance. Visitors should note that access is via a private driveway and the grounds themselves remain private.
An avenue of beech trees leads to the house, creating a distinctive approach, while the gardens themselves are registered as parks of special historic interest. This combination of landscape and building protection makes the site noteworthy.
