Palé Hall Hotel

A fabulous stay, once again at the Palé Hotel. We decided to eat down at the Bryntyrion Inn, which is a ten minute walk away, we were served by a delightful waitress who also works at the Palé. The food was lovely. We returned to the Hotel with the violinist playing Ava Maria. Thank you to all the staff and a special thanks to making Cleo 🐶 feel special. Timothy-Carl and Joanne.

I just moved to the local area and driving around and stumbled upon Pale Hall. I drove up the drive and was immediately impressed by the stunning gardens and views and architecture in the gardens. Simply stunning entrance. A lovely staff member greeted me and explained the history of the hotel and so I asked if I could get a coffee and look round. Well as soon as I walked in I was blown away. The warm fireplace greeted me with come and sit by me as it was a cold 🥶 day! As I walked around each room is simply stunning! The design is outstanding! I can see myself buying this hotel (if it comes up for sale in the future) The flat white coffee was perfect 👌 I’ll definitely be back for more coffee ☕️ and will book a table and maybe a room for a stay over. Anyway, just come here it’s breathtaking. Staff are very friendly too

A very pleasant stay with lots of very good points and a few teething issues. First of all, we would definitely stay again and look forward to doing just that. The staff were amazing, including the welcome which was really refreshing. The food was fantastic, the 6 course tasting menu and wine pairing were very special, and the new somelier really went above and beyond to explain the pairings. The wine cellar is also a special place. The scenery and location is absolutely second to none and well worth the travel getting there! The building is almost magical! We stayed in a small Cottage called Hillside which was an upgrade and had a hot tub. Fantastic building, although fixtures and fittings no quite so regal or up to spec as the rest of the main house. Beautiful open real fires. Really created a fantastic ambience. Now for the points to work on. - Communication to hotel team from rooms is very difficult, tried calling several times to no answer. - room service non existent, especially after 9pm. Menu extremely limited in room. No mini bar with drinks/snacks apart from sparkling water. - turn down disappointing. No still water left by the bed, no petit fours etc - bed extremely hard, no soft topper etc. - no aircon - far too many cheap Halloween decorations, out of sync with the luxury hotel vibe. Bit disappointing. - hair dryers in room very old and no power, and dirty. Overall, a pleasant experience and its set to get better with the addition of another restaurant, a new Chef Partner and Spa, so very much look forward going back. Once the team address a few finer points, it will be amongst the best, most relaxing and romantic hotels in the UK, rivaling the best of city and countryside hotels. It was also refreshing to see the owners in and around the hotel, showing genuine care.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Pale Hall in Bala, North Wales, for their seasonal lunch menu, and it was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. Every single element was pure perfection. The moment we arrived, the welcome was warm and inviting. The staff in the restaurant provided some of the best service we have ever experienced, and that's saying a lot as we have dined in many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world. The team was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, enhancing our meal in a way that felt both professional and personal. The food itself was a culinary masterpiece. Each dish was a testament to the kitchen's skill and commitment to using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The flavours were perfectly balanced, the presentation was exquisite, and every bite was a delight. Adding to the magical atmosphere was a violinist who serenaded us throughout our lunch. The music was a beautiful, elegant touch that made the occasion feel incredibly special and romantic. The overall ambience of Pale Hall is simply stunning. The historic setting, combined with the impeccable food, flawless service, and wonderful music, made this a truly memorable lunch. It was the perfect way to cap off a wonderful week away, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

We visited for my mum’s 85th birthday.. 3 generations.. 1 twin & 1 king room. We had a fabulous stay. From the second we arrived we were treated like royalty visiting Downton Abbey!! Suitcases whisked away, car valet parked, my mum was upgraded as it was her 85th into a STUNNING bedroom suite, a Happy Birthday message, sweets & card & all our specific requests were met .. step in shower for her, twin beds for us. We were chauffeured free of charge in a Bentley to the hotel’s off site pub (we’d had a large lunch in Abersoch & didn’t want a big dinner) by the super friendly & helpful Gareth & enjoyed a delicious meal. Breakfast was fabulous & for the luxury, interior beauty & quality of staff & food Pale Hall is very good value for money. Old school excellence with style. Thank you.

From the moment we arrived, the whole team at Palé Hall made us feel so welcome and relaxed. Every detail of our stay was taken care of with genuine warmth and care. A special mention must go to Shaz in the restaurant – her joyful enthusiasm and incredible helpfulness truly elevated our experience. She made every meal feel special and added such a personal touch to our stay.||Palé Hall is a beautiful place, but it’s the people who make it truly unforgettable. We can’t wait to return!

We've stayed at Palé Hall for a weekend over Halloween and absolutely enjoyed everything about our stay! |From the moment we arrived, we were swept into a world of timeless elegance and serene luxury. This Victorian mansion that is located in the heart of the Welsh countryside, is more than a hotel—it's a sanctuary of refinement, warmth, and unforgettable experiences. |Dining at Palé Hall was impressive. The tasting menu was a symphony of flavors—locally sourced, artfully plated, and served with impeccable attention to detail.|Personally we want to thank the staff for making us feel so welcome, they have attention to detail and could not be any friendlier!

Really enjoyed the experience of Palé Hall. The building, the grounds the excellent staff. All very good. However the food was not great. Ate from The Huntsman menu and the starter of charcuterie wasn’t great and the homemade pickles were incredibly acidic. The burger was overcooked and dry. My husband enjoyed his meal, but we felt it overpriced for what we had. Breakfast was okay, but nothing special.|Sadly the quality of food was less than we had hoped for.

TL;DR - Sheer luxury in the Welsh countryside. We came here to celebrate my partner's recent birthday and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Palé Hall is a gorgeous old house which has been lovingly converted into a boutique hotel - as soon as you come down the drive you realise how unique this place is. Although it's a hotel you feel like you're a guest at a stately home... Mark kept saying he felt like he was starring in Gosford Park. We arrived on a cold day and were greeted on the door and welcome into the gorgeous wood panelled hall where a roaring fire was burning. Staff gave us two glasses of champagne whilst they took our bags up to our room. We were in one of the smaller "classic" rooms, but it was beautifully appointed and spacious - a huge bed, sofa, big wardrobe and a TV hidden inside a mirror! Water, tea, coffee and home made cookies were in the room - plus a bottle of mead! For dinner we ate in the Huntsman's bistro and everything was delicious - I had salmon followed by monkfish and dahl, Mark had chicken liver terrine followed by rare beef. We also had some amazing desserts, followed by coffee and petit fours. We rounded out the evening with a whiskey sat by the fire and it was wonderful. Next morning we had breakfast which was superb - there's lots to choose from but we went for muesli, orange juice and some pastries followed by the full Welsh breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage, mushroom, tomato, laverbread and black pudding. There were a couple of hiccups - our order of toast didn't appear for breakfast, and neither did our morning newspaper - but these were minor and didn't detract from the overall wonderful experience. Great food, amazing surroundings and excellent service.
