Tyddyn Llan - Where Friday night is Gourmet Night
Tyddyn Llan, a gastronomic bolthole owned by Michelin-starred chef Bryan Webb and wife Susan, located on the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, has introduced Friday Night Gourmet Nights – the perfect start to the weekend.
The evening commences with canapés and a glass of Louis Roederer Champagne, followed by Bryan’s six-course tasting menu featuring seasonal ingredients (local wherever possible) and rounded off with exquisite petits fours and coffee.
Following dinner, guests might choose to enjoy a night cap in Tyddyn Llan’s cosy bar or head straight to bed in one of the 12 individually designed bedrooms.
The following morning Bryan will be up early to prepare breakfast (how many Michelin starred chefs do that?), all of which is cooked to order.
Tyddyn Llan overlooks the Berwyns Mountains and the hotel provides a choice of 6 maps for self-guided walks (moderate & strenuous), including one to the renowned Stone Circle.
Transport can be arranged for more adventurous walkers to Pistyll Rhaeadr waterfalls, from where you can make take on the 8-mile walk over the top of the Berwyn Mountain back to Tyddyn Llan for a well-earned lunch or dinner.
