Long as your blood be ours alone, we'll see you ever from below."

"Llangoed Hall, Bronllys (Grade II*) (7484)". "A glorious stroll along the Wye's remote pools and rapids". It won the Best Restaurant in Wales award in its first year. Bedrooms are individually designed and decorated with furnishings from Laura Ashley and Sir Bernard's venture company Elanbach, which he created in 2000 and is based in the hotel's grounds. The hotel also has an art collection with pieces by Whistler, Augustus John, Walter Sickert, Andrew Melville, John Duncan Fergusson and Albert Lynch. Sir Bernard Ashley's intention was to recreate Llangoed Hall as an Edwardian house, replete with high-society Edwardian customs, period furnishings and antique fittings. The property was put up for sale again in February 2012 after Von Essen went into administration in April 2011. The Ashley family sold the hall to Von Essen Hotels in November 2010 for an undisclosed sum. Sir Bernard Ashley bought Llangoed Hall in 1987 and opened it as a hotel in 1990. After the First World War, Clough Williams-Ellis re-designed it as a country house, retaining the surviving Jacobean porch as part of the south wing but creating several Arts and Crafts additions. It was in the possession of the Macnamara family for two generations until 1847, but changed hands to settle a gambling debt. It may have also been the site of the legendary White Palace, home of the first Welsh parliament. The Hall, originally known as Llangoed Castle, was donated to the church in 560 by Prince Iddon in expiation of his sins. It is a Grade II* listed building, and its gardens and park are listed at Grade II on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. It is known for its decoration in Laura Ashley fabrics and styles, and was owned by Sir Bernard Ashley, the widower of the designer. Llangoed Hall is a country house hotel, near the village of Llyswen, in Powys, Mid Wales.
