Room Overview
Branwen is a recently refurbished, bright and spacious bedroom, featuring an original antique fireplace with a Delft tile surround. There’s a cosy window seat offering views across the glorious historic formal gardens at the front of the house and the surrounding woodland. The generous bathroom includes a roll-top bath and a separate monsoon shower room.
This room is named after Branwen, a beautiful Welsh princess from one of the central legends of the Mabinogi, the medieval Welsh literary tales. Branwen translates to “blessed fair raven”, and her story tells of a marriage to the king of Ireland that began in hope but ended in a tragic, mutually destructive war. When Branwen was mistreated, her brother, the High King of Britain, sailed from his home in Harlech with his army to fight for her.
Accessibility: 1st floor, accessed via two flights of stairs.
