Clwyd Gate Manor is a substantial, design-led country house offering six-star accommodation for large groups seeking privacy, space and a genuinely high-end setting. Sleeping up to 30 guests across 11 double bedrooms, the property has been carefully reimagined following a comprehensive renovation completed in 2022, resulting in a house that feels polished, considered and quietly impressive rather than overtly showy. Leisure facilities are a defining feature, including a heated indoor swimming pool with adjoining children’s pool, sauna, hot tub, cave bar and multiple social spaces, allowing guests to spend time together without feeling confined. The house suits extended families, multi-generational gatherings, corporate retreats and wellness-focused stays, with several local pubs serving food within a short drive.
From the moment guests arrive, the scale and quality of the house are apparent. Interiors have been shaped by award-winning architects and designers, with careful attention given to light, flow and material choice. A contemporary entrance lounge sets the tone, combining soft seating, statement lighting and large windows that draw the surrounding landscape into the house. Bedrooms are arranged at ground level, each individually styled and many opening directly onto a long, panoramic veranda that runs the length of the property. Above, the first-floor dining room and main lounge offer elevated views across the Vale of Clwyd, with space for long meals, meetings or quiet evenings by the fire. The spa area forms a natural centrepiece, designed to feel calm and immersive, with controlled lighting, warm water temperatures and direct access to the outdoors.
The setting plays an equally important role. Clwyd Gate Manor occupies an elevated position within the Clwydian Range, with uninterrupted views across rolling countryside and distant hills. The market town of Ruthin lies close by for everyday shopping, cafés and restaurants, while Mold, Denbigh and Chester are all within easy reach. Further afield, the coastline of North Wales, historic towns such as Conwy and Llandudno, and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park offer day-trip options that suit a wide range of interests. This combination of seclusion, access and comfort makes Clwyd Gate Manor particularly well suited to longer stays and return visits, where the house itself is as much part of the experience as the surrounding area.
