Gwern Borter Manor Cottages

A grand manor house with hot tubs above the Conwy Valley

Gwern Borter Manor is a spacious country manor house set in its own grounds above the beautiful Conwy Valley, in the foothills of Eryri (Snowdonia). Sleeping up to twenty across nine bedrooms, with two hot tubs and a barrel sauna, it is a superb choice for a big family gathering, celebration or group holiday — a peaceful, characterful base with the world-famous Bodnant Garden, the walled town of Conwy and the mountains all close by. Guests rate it 4.8 out of 5.

The manor house

The manor has nine bedrooms across three floors, with seven bathrooms, comfortably sleeping up to twenty — plenty of room for a large group to come together while still having space to themselves. The well-equipped kitchen (with an electric oven, gas hob, microwave and dishwasher), a washing machine and central heating make catering for a crowd straightforward, and fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included. A private chef and catering can even be arranged on request for special occasions.

Hot tubs, sauna and grounds

Outside, the highlights are two hot tubs and a barrel sauna — wonderful for relaxing after a day in the hills — along with a barbecue and the manor’s own private grounds. There is off-road parking, and the peaceful, elevated setting above the Conwy Valley gives lovely views and a real sense of escape. Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome, so the family pet can join the gathering.

The Conwy Valley

The manor sits above the beautiful Conwy Valley in the Snowdonia foothills, a green and scenic spot that is wonderfully placed for both the coast and the mountains. The world-famous Bodnant Garden is close by, as is the walled town of Conwy with its mighty UNESCO castle, harbour and characterful streets (about four miles away), while the resort of Llandudno is around five miles off and the high peaks of Snowdonia rise to the south.

Good to know

A large manor house that sleeps twenty is ideal for the kind of holiday where several families or a big group come together — a milestone birthday, a family reunion or a special celebration — with everyone under one roof yet plenty of space, plus hot tubs and a sauna to share. The included extras (fuel, power, linen) and the option of a private chef make catering for a crowd much easier. The Conwy Valley is glorious year-round, and large group properties like this are in high demand for holidays and celebration weekends, so booking well ahead is strongly recommended.
