Site Inspection: Palé Hall, Wales

Dating back to the 1800s, this historic gem has been lovingly restored to its former glory, making each stay feel like a step back in time with all the modern comforts you could wish for. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in luxury, with individually decorated rooms that feel like they were designed just for you.

One of the things that makes Palé Hall truly special is its commitment to sustainability. They bottle their own water and even produce their electricity — it's a luxury with a conscience, and that's something we can all get behind.

And let's talk about the food — oh, the food! Their Michelin Green Star restaurant is a culinary delight, serving up dishes made from the freshest local ingredients. And if you have any dietary restrictions, don't worry — they've got you covered and are happy to accommodate.

But my favorite part of staying at Palé Hall is the little touches that make you feel truly pampered. From Welsh toiletries to fluffy robes and slippers, every detail has been carefully curated to make sure your stay is nothing short of magical. There is even a custom “Palé Times” newspaper created for each guest, awaiting upon check-in.

And if you're just passing through and fancy a bite to eat, why not arrive in style? Pale Hall boasts not one, but two helicopter pads, making it easier than ever to drop in for a delicious lunch or afternoon tea.

So whether you're seeking a romantic getaway, a family adventure, or just a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Palé Hall Hotel is the perfect escape.
