This spectacularly located hotel is Wales's answer to a baronial retreat in the Scottish Highlands. It stands in splendid isolation on a forested hillside overlooking the dramatic, mountain-ringed waters of Lake Vyrnwy. It's worth staying here for the views alone. But when you add the hotel's other assets &endash; its supreme country house comfort, excellent food, impeccable service and exceptional range of sporting and country pursuits &endash; you'll understand why Lake Vyrnwy has such a faithful following. There's an air of grandeur &endash; not to mention a rare appreciation of traditional values &endash; at this spacious, dignified hotel, with its pitch pine, deep leather chairs, soft furnishings, log fires and wealth of antiques. The bedrooms are individually decorated, and many have special features such as lake views, private balconies, four-posters, suites and Jacuzzis.  The food complements the surroundings, with seasonally changing menus making the very best of local produce and game from the estate. Tear yourself away from this cosseting hotel and you'll find yourself in the midst of a 24,000-acre estate, renowned for its natural beauty and rich wildlife. The hotel makes the most of its location, offering everything from birdwatching to clay shooting. Guests may also enjoy classic fly fishing on Lake Vyrnwy and there are miles of tracks and paths to explore. Some guests, though, are content simply to sit and soak up the fairytale view &endash; to complete the picture there's even a gothic water tower straight out of Sleeping Beauty.
