Period and historic accommodation in South Wales. More to follow, please check back.


Barry

Egerton Grey. Built during the seventeenth century, the house was a rectory during the Victorian era. The hotel is said to be popular with members of the Royal family. Expedia


Caerleon


The Priory Hotel. Located just a few miles north of Newport in the historic town of Caerleon, The Priory Hotel offers guests the choice of three room types: traditional rooms within the original building, more contemporary rooms within a more recent annexe, or the four-poster Blue Room. This former Cistercian monastery and convent is said to date back as far as 1180, and many of the features from intervening centuries are still on display. LateRooms


Crickhowell ~ Blaenau Gwent


The Bear of Crickhowell. Accommodation is available throughout the main building (said to dat back in part to the early 1400‘s) and an adjacent courtyard LateRooms


Cowbridge


Bear Hotel, The. On the outskirts of Cardiff, The Bear Hotel is a well-known inn whose origins are thought to date back as far as the 12th century. LateRooms


Laugharne

Seaview. Arguably one of the finest exponents of the written word, Dylan Thomas made Seaview his home between 1938 and 1940 (during the early days of his marriage to Caitlin). As such, the property welcomed other notable literary figures of the period, including T S Eliot. Today, this mid nineteenth century house offers bed and breakfast accommodation. LateRooms

Llechrhyd - Carmarthenshire


Castell Malgwyn Hotel. Offering three star accommodation, this attractive Georgian mansion is located alongside the River Teifi. Well behaved dogs are most welcome. LateRooms


Macynlleth


Ynyshir Hall. It is thought that parts of the building may be 15th century, but its most historic claim-to-fame is that it was once the property of Queen Victoria. Expedia




Don’t forget... Nights In The Past now has a new group on Facebook devoted to the site and historic hotels, inns and other places to stay throughout the UK and Europe. All are welcome to join and share information.






We are extremely eager to improve the section on historic hotels in South Wales. Please let us know of any high quality period accommodation you might be aware of in and around Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, the Rhonnda Valley, Abergavenny, Fishguard, St. David’s, Carmarthen, or the Brecon Beacons. All types of hotels, inns and bed & breakfasts are eligible for inclusion, providing they have retained as much of the the character of their era as possible. Any associated with history’s ‘celebrities’ are particularly welcome. Thank you.
