I just had a two night stay at Bodysgallen with my family. The house and gardens are truly special and we ate some fantastic food. However, there are issues that I feel need to be addressed if Bodysgallen wishes to maintain the standard that it has (somehow!) managed to gain on this website. I feel it necessary to add some of my comments so that people are not misled by the abundance of positive comments here.

On the whole, staff were very courteous but there is an atmosphere created by the management that I can only describe as slightly stuffy. We lost count of the notices telling you not to do things. In addition I felt that there were times when i was being a little ripped off. I can hand on heart say this is the first hotel I have ever stayed in that did not have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Should you wish to have a cup of tea or coffee bought to your room you were expected to pay £5.50!!! Is it really just me that finds this unacceptable in a hotel of this standard? Even Travelodge give you a range of teas and a biscuit! Wireless was £5 for 24 hours but failed to work well, if at all. Toiletries were not replaced on the second day. It's the little touches such as complimentary refreshments, free wireless, attention to detail that really make stays special.

During our two night stay we were sat in the dining table at the same table for our breakfasts and evening meals, as were other guests. I personally find this an odd arrangement - if you happen not to like the table designated to you; tough! On our first evening meal we were the first to arrive at seven and were faced with several waiting staff stood around the room staring in our direction; unnerving! The lack of ambient music or lighting in the room was very noticable, there seemed to be a lack of privacy somehow and we ended up talking in hushed tones akin to dining in a library. I cannot fault the food though, it was really very good.

I write this because I want the management to see it and step up the mark in some areas because at these prices and with that reputation I expected just a little more than I got. Bodysgallen really is a treat in many ways but don't expect to feel like you've been spoilt.

Just come back from a faulous weekend here!. On the first night we were in a standard deluxe room which was nice and comfortable - the restaurant served an excellent menu and everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The wine menu was also extensive and reasonably priced.
The staff were so attentive, professional and courteous and very pleasant. Certainly a big asset to the hotel!
On the 2nd night we moved to a suite in the main house (the Conwy suit) - very charming, very quiet and nicely deorated - all in perfect order and everything looked pristine.

The Gardens and grounds are absolutely stunning - by far the best hotel grounds I have seen!

Overall a beautifully presented country house hotel which makes (and suceeds!) in making you feel special and well looked after.
The only suggestion I would make is that there were no safes in the rooms and no tea/coffe making facilities - although complimentary tea/coffee was offered in your room in the morning.

Definately one to consider for a luxury break!

What a lovely hotel!

We stayed in Box Cottage, which is located near the hotel spa. Very private and beautiful accomodation. The suite consisted a sitting room, king sized bedroom, bathroom and small 'kitchen' with sink and full size fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. Great attention to detail - pint of fresh milk in the fridge and freshly laundered tea towel provided. Country-house furnishings, comfortable sofa and chairs, two televisions, large bathroom with robes, plenty of towels, toiletries.

The main hotel building is very old and interesting with lots of original portraits, lovely log fire. Staff were friendly but discreet. Grounds are beautiful, even on a very gloomy day.

We had dinner in the restaurant, which was excellent, and we felt good value for the quality of the food. Had coffee by a roaring fire in the sitting area afterwards.

We used the swimming pool and the gym, over in the spa, and again the staff were very friendy and helpful.

All areas of the hotel were clean and well maintained.

All in all a first class experience and we would certainly recommed the hotel for a special break.

“Fabulous place to step off the planet”

Bodysgallen Hall & Spa

2/3 found this review helpful

Stayed at Bodysgallen Hall over Easter 2008, Excellent service with hghly attentive staff. Very nice room, with excellent amenities. The place has wonderful charm and character with two large lounges and a library with crackling log fires and comfy sofas in each, plus other small nooks and crannies where you can sit with a good book and a pleasant drink.
Beautiful grounds in a lovely setting with a commanding views of the countryside
MAJOR plus points for us:

1: NOT suitable for children. This is a quiet, beautiful country hideaway suitable for SOPHISTICATED ADULTS who are wishing to get away from it all. Children under 6 are not welcome, and those between 6 and 16 can only use the spa facilities at specific times. These restrictions (plus the price) means that this is a major disincentive to people with young families as there's nothing for the kids. HOORAY!!!
2: NO background muzak anywhere HOORAY!!!!!
3: ZERO tolerance to mobile phone and laptop users. Although Wi-fi enabled, the use of either mobile phones or laptops is NOT allowed in ANY communal public areas., and there are discreet noices to this effect in the lounges, bars and restaurant. This policy is STRICTLY enforced HOORAY!!!!

One can, therefore be sure to have a relaxing and peaceful stay WITHOUT being forced to listen to one side of some self-important prat's inane phone conversations, or to the clickety-clack of his keyboard or the constant beeping of his texting while his unsupervised and ill-behaved kids run amok. BLISS!!!

Would go there again in a flash

Only MINUS point?

We went there in my saloon car. I WAS going to go there in a very low slung sports car we use for weekends away but I'm glad we didn't because there are several traffic calming ditches on the long entrance drive, and I'm pretty certain that I would have seriously damaged it. So if you are thinking of posing in your Ferrari, Lambo or similar car with little ground clearance , my advice would be don't, if you value the bodywork or exhaust that is.
That quibble notwithstanding, I could not fault this place
