Llandrinio Hall (manor house)

Home description

Llandrinio Hall was built in 1678 during the reign of Charles II near the site of a former hall that can be traced back to 1589. It has a well-documented history as an important Montgomeryshire house that was the centre of a large estate throughout the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. During that time its owndership passed through just three families, but they boasted amongst their numbers the nephew of the Bishop of St Asaph, four high sheriffs of Montgomery and various relatives of the great parliamentarian Sir Robert Peel.

The hall is approached via an impressive avenue of lime trees and stands against the backdrop of the Breidden Hills. Many of its original features have been retained, including two oak Carolean (ie dating from the reign of Charles ll) staircases at either end of the house and a wealth of oak timbers and polished oak floors. Having been recently (2007) fully renovated, nowadays the spacious rooms strike a balance between their fine original features and more modern style details: a Steinway baby grand piano in the Drawing Room; Snooker/Games Room with a full-sized snooker table and darts board; Cinema Room with 64" HD plasma television and Bose home theatre surround sound system; an impressive walk-in Shower Room/Wet Room; gym equipment. There are open fires in the Snooker/Games Room and Cinema Room and a solid fuel stove in the Drawing Room. The state-of-the-art sound system enables fingertip music/radio control throughout the house, and into the garden. Together with its fully equipped kitchen, its romantic vined conservatory and spacious dining areas, Llandrinio Hall is an impressive and atmospheric setting for relaxing and entertaining guests in style.

You will find this charming, welcoming, warm, comfortable and atmospheric property to be aesthetically appealing and tastefully decorated and furnished. The whole place has been engineered for comfort and pleasure. The hall is equally suited as a place to relax in peace and tranquility, or to party and have a great deal of fun; or both.

It is also an exceptionally child-friendly place. Obviously the Cinema Room is an attraction (with its comprehensive DVD collection of over 300 titles), as are the grounds, complete with a massive trampoline and purpose-built tree-house, and an acre of orchard to the side in which to roam and play. There is also a separate Morning Room/Play Room with a host of children's toys, games, puzzles, a DVD with wide-screen TV, a large collection of children's DVDs (Simpsons, Futurama etc), table football, table tennis.

The property is fully-equipped throughout, including high-speed broadband wifi internet, HP Photosmart C4180 colour printer/copier/scanner (with program disks), Freeview TV channels, a full burglar and fire alarm system, comprehensive kitchen facilities, comfortable beds, a library of books, a library of children's books, 3 showers and 2 baths. Altogether, it's a very beautiful and idyllic, peaceful and tranquil home, or home-from-home.

Outside catering for parties can be arranged (please enquire).

The Powys / Brecon Beacons / Powys region

Llandrinio Hall is the perfect base for exploring the varied delights of both Shropshire (to the east) and mid-Wales (to the west). It is located directly on the English/Welsh border.

Shropshire has been surprising visitors ever since the Romans first settled here. It has some 32 castles and stately homes, the best of which can be found at Ludlow, Stokesay and Attingham Park in Shrewsbury. There’s even a Roman city at Wroxeter. Shropshire also boasts many national horticulture collections and speciality gardens, like Wollerton Old Hall and Stapley Water Gardens.

Mid-Wales has just as much to offer visitors, too. The unique Powis Castle near Welshpool is built from red gritstone and was bequeathed to the National Trust in 1952 by the 4th Earl of Powis. It features magnificent gardens complete with rambling Italianate terraces. Beyond Welshpool are the Elan Valley reservoirs, the Centre for Alternative Technology at Machynlleth, the Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons National Parks and the beautiful west Wales coastline, many stretches of which fly the much-coveted Blue Flag award.

Llandrinio area

The towns of Oswestry (10.3 miles) and Welshpool (8 miles) both have extensive shopping facilities and regular farmers' markets. The historic Georgian county town of Shrewsbury, birthplace of Charles Darwin, is just a little further afield at 13 miles and has some excellent independent shops, stylish restaurants and leisure facilities.

There are many superb walks close to Llandrinio Hall, including the Severn Way and world famous Offa's Dyke trail. During your stay you might also want to try the impressive hour-long climb to Rodney's Pillar, visible from the rear of the house on the Breidden Hills. Other local activities include cycling, riding, golf, fishing, hot-air ballooning, paintballing, hovercrafts, shooting and go-karting. Historic Llangollen (15 miles) also offers some of the UK's finest and memorable stretches of canal.

Slightly further afield (30 miles) is the World Heritage Site of Ironbridge, birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Also 30 miles away is Ludlow, Shropshire’s food and drink capital and home of the Ludlow Food Festival and a number of Michelin starred restaurants. Other local attractions worth visiting include the 18th century gardens and grottos of Hawkstone Park Follies, the RAF museum at Cosford, the Severn Valley Railway and Stokesay Court, where the Oscar winning-yet-tedious movie "Atonement" was filmed.

How to get there

Llandrinio Hall is located in the centre of Llandrinio village. It is on the B4393, between the bridge over the river Severn and the Punchbowl public house. The lime tree-lined drive to the house is name-plated and heads south off this road in the direction of the Breidden Hills.

FROM SHREWSBURY:

Take the A458 signposted to Welshpool. After the village of Ford, take the B4393 to the right, signposted to Four Crosses and Lake Vyrnwy. Pass through Alberbury and Crew Green. 3/4 mile after reaching the sign for Llandrinio and having crossed the bridge over the river Severn, the tree-lined driveway to Llandrinio Hall can be seen on the left.

FROM OSWESTRY:

From the Mile End roundabout take the A483 signposted to Welshpool. Continue through Pant and Llanymynech and at the Four Crosses crossroad take the B4393 signposted to Llandrinio. After reaching the sign for Llandrinio, continue past the Texaco garage and the Punchbowl public house on your left and the tree-lined driveway to Llandrinio Hall is located approximately 400 metres on your right.

GUEST COMMENTS:

Hi Jonathan and Polly,

We really enjoyed our stay at Llandrinio Hall. It was an excellent venue for the family celebration of my husband's 60th birthday. The garden was a superb size for children and adults to play a variety of games. The adults enjoyed watching the highlights of the Olympics on the large screen during the first week. The kitchen was a great size to work in and have everyone sitting round the table for a meal. And the pianists amongst us played a few duets, so something for everyone. There was just the right amount of space for people to join in or do their own thing. In fact, apart from taking the dog for walks in and around the village, we were happy to spend our time at the Hall. We also had a few family table tennis tournaments, raising the competitive spirit.

Kind regards, Paula Crosbie & Family, Aug 9th-16th 2008

Dear Jonathan and Polly,

It was truly a wonderful experience staying at Llandrinio Hall, for all of us (10), over the bank holiday weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was immaculately tidy and we were proud to be part of the historical mansion. Honestly, 4 nights was simply not be enough; we would have loved to stay longer than that. I take pleasure on behalf of my family and my friends, in conveying our happiness and thanks for the nice way we were treated at the Hall. Special thanks to Alec and Veronica for their help. We would highly recommend that others experience the amazing place, providing entertainment to all ages from 6 to 60. All-in-all, it was a fabulous place to spend the holiday period. We liked the whole house, including the entertainment for adults and kids in the form of snooker, table tennis and the trampoline, plus the sports gear, the amazing Bose sound system, the sprawling kitchen and dining facilities, TV lounge and music room, the shower room and the king size bedrooms.

Warm regards, Ramesh Ramaraju & Family, Aug 21st to 25th 2008

Hi Jonathan & Polly,

Llandrinio Hall is a beautiful place with fantastic facilities. We had no problems finding something to keep everyone amused and the whole family enjoyed their stay. A truly wonderful experience, from the first sight of the Hall approaching up the driveway, to saying goodbye. Totally unique. The photographs on the internet don't do this place justice at all; no fault of the photographer, it just has to be seen to be believed. Oh and the most important part: loads of dishes if you are planning to cook Tapas! I enjoyed the weekend so much, I've already booked for the whole family for next spring, and I'll come back with this mob again also.

Thanks again, Darren Hunt & Family, Aug 29th to Sept 1st 2008

Hi Jonathan & Polly,

We had a wonderful time last weekend at your house - such a beautiful place to stay. It was a perfect place for such a large group, and we really appreciated all the facilities (and enjoyed piping through odd music to people halfway through their showers - rather childish, but we never seemed to grow tired of it). We can highly recommend the area for an activity weekend - great mountain biking at Coed Llangdella and an enjoyable afternoon karting at the circuit near Chester. Alec was more than helpful with the handover of keys, and great at filling in on the history of the house, too. A handy tip it might be worth passing on - Tesco will do an evening home delivery of shopping to the house for future guests - we had a van turn up with all our provisions about 10 mins after we arrived on the Thursday night, which then means you're free to enjoy the weekend without worrying about heading out for drinks/food first thing after arriving or having to stop and do a shop on the way. I hope I manage to find another excuse to book again in the future - one of our party's wife has already booked in November for a weekend (Shona Hares), and I expect you'll find a few of us will be in contact again in the next couple of years. Thanks once again for a great weekend.

Regards, Tim Watsham & Guests, Oct 2nd to 6th 2008

Hi Jonathan & Polly,

We had a fantastic time in your lovely home. It was even better than advertised on your website.

I can't tell you how fun it was to help one of our older guests onto the trampoline. She and I laughed like hyenas as I tried to gently guide her to bounce up and down. The bedrooms were great, the bathrooms very nice, the kitchen so spacious - we were able to fit 16 people for Sunday lunch. We were really pleasantly surprised at the huge number of plates, glasses & cutlery. Absolutely brilliant! Also, lots of pots, pans, and casserole dishes. We've stayed at several villas in France, Italy & Spain and you've definitely offered the best kitchen for entertaining. We had a singalong on Saturday night, so thanks so much for the piano. And we had a nice cozy couple of nights with open fires. Needless to say, the cinema room was a huge hit with the under 19-year-olds and the sound system was just as popular with the rest of the party. The trampoline as I say above, was hugely popular. We all couldn't stop laughing and it will certainly go down in history as the best way to get grumpies to smile!

Really, it was a total pleasure from start to finish. Many thanks again to you, and Alec (for all his support & assistance) for a fantastic stay at Llandrinio Hall.

Best wishes, Linda & Geraint Ditchburn, Cardiff, Wales (Party of 16 people ranging in age from 16 to 78 - 16th-20th Oct 2008)

Hi Jonathan,

We had a fantastic weekend at Llandrinio Hall, thanks. It's an incredible house! We definitely hope to return in the near future. We frequently stay in large country houses and this is the best one yet; the house has it all!

Thanks a lot.

Susan Ryan, Nov 14th to 17th 2008

Hello Jonathan & Polly,

Just a quick message to say how much we enjoyed our stay at Llandrinio Hall over Christmas. It is a fabulous house and will be remembered by all for a very long time. The children (and a few of the adults) enjoyed the trampoline, and we had a great game of hide and seek at night in the garden. The cinema room was a huge hit. All in all, we thought it great value for money, and hope to book again for the future!

Kind Regards, Fiona Stephenson & Family, Christmas 2008

Dear Jonathan & Polly,

We had a truly memorable stay at Llandrinio Hall over New Year. We are all still suffering from withdrawal symptoms. The house was amazing - beautiful, spacious, kid-friendly. We loved the wet room, the cinema room, the table tennis, the trampoline, the billiard room, the piano etc etc. So nice to be in a house where there was no shortage of crockery, pans, cutlery etc. We had a fantastic week, many thanks.

Frances Rivers and Family, New Year 2008

We’ve enjoyed a fantastic weekend. Everyone loved the place and all the activities, both in the house and locally. The house provides a beautiful setting, and, although grand in stature, has a very homely feel. I couldn't imagine a better location for a gathering of friends and family.

Paul Morris & Sarah Milne, January 2009

We had an amazing (albeit far too short!) weekend at Llandrinio Hall. The house is perfect for gatherings of family or friends. There is so much to do to keep everyone occupied. The kitchen is absolutely perfect for cooking/eating/socialising (and comfortably sat 16). The snooker, darts and table tennis kept the males occupied and the television/games room is ideal for taking time out and relaxing. The photos do not do it justice - it is much bigger & more impressive 'in the flesh'. The wet room was the talking point of the weekend & the garden is truly magnificent. We hope to re-book in the near future.

Rhian Wooley, February 2009

16 of us stayed for a long weekend in Llandrinio Hall in March and one of my children actually burst into tears when it was time to leave - we'd had such a wonderful time, she couldn't bear the thought of driving away. To be honest, I felt the same way! The house is beautiful - I especially loved the huge old windows and the wide wooden staircases - and the children had great fun with the treehouse and trampoline in the garden. What made Llandrinio Hall such a special place to stay was that it felt as if we were staying in a friend's house - there were so many books and games and lovely pictures around the place, that it was like a home, not just an impersonal building. The weather was great but even if it had poured down solidly the whole weekend, nobody would have minded - the house was so comfortable and well-equipped with its snooker room, cinema room and games room, that there was something to keep everybody entertained. We have already booked to come back again next year - I can't wait!

Thanks again, and all the best, Sue Mongredien, March 2009

Just a quick note to let you know that we all had a brilliant time at Llandrinio Hall and very much appreciated the obvious care and attention to detail that you have lavished on the house and grounds. A highly satisfactory weekend and everyone agreed that it is the nicest house we have stayed in so far (this is the fourth time we have gone away together for the May bank holiday).

Many thanks, Graham and Liz Sturgess, April 2009

We had a fantastic time at Llandrinio Hall. It was everything we had hoped for. The house is amazing and in a beautiful setting, with the most of the beautiful garden with a fantastic view; it was idyllic. The views are amazing. We were there for the village carnival on the Saturday and there was a fete on the common, which was nice. The pub was a good stopping place for a drink on the walk back to the Hall.

The children enjoyed sleeping in the rooms in the eves and exploring the garden, playing rounders and making friends with the cows in the neighbouring field. All the bedrooms on the first floor were of equal size and were all very nice. This meant all couples were happy in their room, which we allocated by picking room numbers from a hat.

The kitchen was fantastic and well equipped, with plenty of everything you could possibly need and room for everybody to help without it being a case of ‘too many cooks’.

My favourite room was the drawing room, in which some of us relaxed with a wine after dinner, whilst others watched DVD’s in the cinema room. Some of us even had a play on the piano.

We had such a perfect weekend that nobody in our party wanted to go home. We even bought a syndicate lottery ticket on the Saturday night and planned to buy the house if we won!

Kind Regards, Linda Hynan, June 2009

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at your beautiful hall and we have all fallen in love with it. It was a great place to hold a large party, as there was something for everyone and we could have stayed for weeks. Our group included people from 4-83 and we all had something to entertain us. The area is beautiful, the garden a dream and every room was beautiful. We are all planning when we can stay again.

Thank you so much, Suzanne Al Kaddah, July 2009

We had a great week and the weather was very kind to us. The house and gardens are lovely. We hadn't realised how old the house was, and gives the place a lot of character. Our daughter especially loved the attic room with the curtains across the entrance. The cinema room was a big hit, and 4-player Mario Kart on the big screen was lots of fun! Trampoline - brilliant! It was great to be able to sit 10 around the table in the sun room, and around the kitchen table very comfortably. The bread maker and the blender were also used quite a bit (good bread) - thanks for those! All the rooms were great, fantastic views from all windows, and very spacious. The walk up to Rodney's Pillar is very rewarding and I would recommend that to the next visitors. The housekeepers are very friendly and helpful. Shrewsbury is really nice and good for shopping. The piano is great and wonderful to have this in the house. Walk-in shower room amazing!

Thanks again. We will certainly return next time we all want to meet up for a holiday. Jenny Jones, August 2009

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at Llandrinio Hall. We booked it as somewhere for the whole family to get together, to celebrate my Mum's 60th birthday. She arrived at the Hall thinking my Dad had taken her to stay at a country hotel, only to be met by all her family! Mum, like the rest of us, was blown away by the Hall. Not only was it able to accommodate the whole family, 14 in total, it is a beautiful setting; a real home from home. We loved the grandeur and history of the property, which made us feel extremely special. But more so we enjoyed the personal touches around the house, and the attention to detail, which meant there was something for everyone and there was never a quiet moment. It was constant activity, and we all developed a competitive edge: table tennis, snooker, darts, even the trampoline got the most inactive of us out of our seats; even my Nana got involved and was playing the XBox at one point! The weather was gorgeous, and in all honesty, whilst we did venture out, we were all keen to get back to the Hall and enjoy some time sat in the garden with a glass of wine, admiring the splendid setting and scenery.

Everything was fantastic. We even thought about how we could all pool our financial resources so we could make an offer on the place if you ever sell up!

Kind regards, Jessica Nash, September 09

Hi Jonathan,

Have just got back from Llandrinio Hall, which is a very impressive
building and has very well kept grounds. It is beautifully furnished and full of very interesting artifacts (stuffed piranhas, a turtle on one
wall, beautiful carpets). In our group were 5 teenagers/young adults
and there was so much for them to do - the biggest snooker table I
have ever seen, table tennis, darts, Xbox with huge screen,
trampoline). The property had fantastic views and there was a great
walk nearby. I have to say it is a great place for a family get-together. We found the local pub very friendly, too.
