Description
Step into a fairy tale at Hen Wrych Hall Tower, a unique and romantic hideaway just a five-minute stroll from the sweeping coastline of North Wales. This Grade II* listed castellated gate tower is nestled within the original curtain wall of the Grade I listed Gwrych Castle and overlooks the 500-year-old Hen Wrych Hall—once home to poet Felicia Hemans, known for her famous verse The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck.
The tower is perfectly located for exploring the region, with local pubs, restaurants, and shops just a mile away. Scenic woodland and hillside walks are easily accessible, and nearby attractions include golf courses, the spectacular Bodnant Gardens, historic Conwy, several impressive castles, and the Victorian seaside charm of Llandudno—all within a short drive.
Inside, Hen Wrych Hall Tower offers a blend of historical charm and comfort. The cosy ground floor living area is the perfect spot to unwind, complete with a large stone fireplace with a wood burning stove for colder evenings (in addition to full central heating). A hand-carved mahogany staircase leads to the first-floor Victorian-style bathroom, featuring a luxuriously deep slipper bath and an original Thomas Crapper toilet cistern—testament to the tower’s attention to period detail.
On the second floor, the bedroom is a true showpiece, with a grand Elizabethan-style, king-size four-poster bed, richly carved and full of character—an ideal setting for a romantic retreat.
Built around 1822, the tower and its associated features were designed by Lord and Lady Bamford Hesketh alongside renowned architect and theorist Thomas Rickman. The ground floor still showcases one of Rickman’s original gothic cast iron windows, while the original wooden front door bears faint carvings of historic sailing ships—possibly etched by Napoleonic prisoners of war.
Painstakingly restored by the current owners in collaboration with Conwy’s conservation team, the tower retains rare architectural elements including a camber-headed doorway and an original bread oven. A custom metal window was also commissioned to complement Rickman’s original design.
Hen Wrych Hall Tower is a one-of-a-kind period property, rich in history and full of charm—an unforgettable romantic escape by the sea.

The tower was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the weather let us down to explore Abergele, but we had no issue spending most of our time cosy in the tower. The bed was extremely comfy and the bath was amazing. Tesco is just around the corner to gsee more
The tower was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the weather let us down to explore Abergele, but we had no issue spending most of our time cosy in the tower. The bed was extremely comfy and the bath was amazing. Tesco is just around the corner to grab any additional bits and there’s plenty of pubs for some “pub grub”. The hosts were extremely welcoming and we felt like we had lots of privacy. My only regret is that I didn’t book a longer stay. I would recommend Hen Wrych Hall Tower to anyone who loves a unique and cosy stay. Thank you guys!
