THE HISTORY OF THE HOTEL
Llechwen Hall is a 17th Century Welsh Longhouse set on a hilltop in 6 acres of surrounding countryside. This historic building has had many different uses before establishing itself as a hotel in 1990, which is what you would expect from a hotel steeped with charm and character.
A Home, School, Court Room, Pub...
Our earliest records date back to 1720 where the hall was first purchased by the Thomas family and used as a private mansion. After passing on ownership generation after generation the Thomas family used Llechwen Hall as their home right up until 1938. During this time the out-building to the hall, now named "the jailhouse" was also reputed to be used as a stopover prison by local magistrates.
During the Second World War, the many invasions from the east coast of England led to a school in Kent being evacuated to South Wales, choosing their new residence at Llechwen Hall. The building was used as a successful school for many years as even after the war ended, the school never went back!
Uses also included a pub and nightclub where the local Banger Racing Club used the surrounding fields as their place to race their cars and then retreat to the inviting pub after a good days racing.
Llechwen Hall Becomes a Hotel
Soon enough the Llechwen Hall pub became run down and almost derelict until 1988 when the Huber family and their partners bought Llechwen Hall with the view to restore the hall back to its' former glory and open it as a hotel, which they did after two years in 1990.
The Llechwen Hall Country House Hotel opened with 12 individually designed bedrooms and an exquisite French restaurant, with Mr Huber as the hotel's head chef. Mr Huber trained in Switzerland working in Zurich and brought his style of cuisine to Llechwen Hall, where you could enjoy dishes such as Oven-baked Snails as well as a traditional Welsh Menu.
By 1998 the Huber family had just finished building an extension to the hotel, named "The Coach House". The extension added 8 large bedroom suites making the Llechwen Hall a twenty bedroom hotel, which it still is today.
In 2001 the hotel changed hands to the Ryder family who ran the hotel successfully until the current owners took over in 2008. Since then, Llechwen Hall has been transforming into a luxurious Country House Hotel. With the addition of our magnificent Garden Marquee overlooking the Welsh Valleys below and an AA Rosette awarded restaurant, the hotel is slowly becoming the biggest secret in the heart of the Cynon Valley.
