Our Inspector's view

Bodysgallen is a supremely elegant Stuart mansion in 200 acres of parkland. Inside, the sober oak panelling is softened by garden views through mullioned windows and by sympathetic, personable service. Balancing traditional and modern British modes has become an essential skill of today's aspirant chefs, and Abdalla El Shershaby possesses it in abundance. Perhaps start with Bodygallen’s white onion velouté, pommes Anna and poached duck egg yolk, before enjoying slow-cooked saddle of rabbit wrapped in smoked bacon with king oyster mushrooms, roasted onion, salsify, herb gnocchi and mustard cream sauce. You might draw things to a conclusion with a rich dark chocolate mousse, garden fruit, milk sorbet and honeycomb.

About the area

Discover Conwy

The majority of the population of Conwy lives along its picturesque coastline, while a third of the county falls within jaw-dropping landscape of the Snowdonia National Park. The town of Conwy, which takes its name from the county (which in turn was named after the river that runs through it), is undoubtedly one of the great treasures of Wales.

Three fine bridges – Thomas Telford’s magnificent suspension bridge of 1822, Robert Stephenson’s tubular railway bridge, and a newer crossing – all stretch over the estuary beneath the castle, allowing both road and the railway into this medieval World Heritage Site. Pride of place goes to the castle, dating back to 1287.

Conwy is the most complete walled town in Britain, with walls measuring an impressive six feet in thickness and 35 feet in height. The walkway along the top offers splendid over-the-rooftop views of the castle, the estuary and the rocky knolls of nearby village of Deganwy. At the wall’s end, steps descend to the quayside where fishermen sort their nets and squawking seagulls steal scraps.
