In December 2023 Cwrt Bleddyn Hotel and Spa celebrated a five-hygiene rating after standards were found to be very good.

The manor house is located in a building dating back to 1610 and the hotel has even retained some of the vintage features in their 46 bedrooms with modern facilities.

Set amidst 50 acres of landscaped grounds guests can sit back and enjoy access to the gym, pool, sauna, jacuzzi and an ‘inclusive’ breakfast.
