Palé Hall Estate has officially launched The Bryntirion Inn gastropub with rooms following a £1m refurbishment, which aims to expand the estate’s presence and “deliver something distinctly local” for both guests and the community.
Located at the gates of the five-star Palé Hall Hotel in Bala, North Wales, The Bryntirion combines the character of a classic village pub with “thoughtful” dining to welcome locals, travellers, and road-trippers.
The Bryntirion dates back to 1695, and has been restored in such a way as to preserve its history as a village pub while reimagining it as a place to eat well, drink locally, and stay in comfort.
Chef Tristan Fitt has also been appointed to head up the inn’s kitchen, having previously worked at Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, Lords of the Manor Hotel in the Cotswolds, Wheeler’s Oyster Bar in Whitstable and The Westbury, Mayfair.
The Bryntirion offers six individually-styled bedrooms, each named after a Welsh mountain and displaying “striking” landscape photography of its namesake in each room. All rooms are equipped with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee-making facilities, and Penhaligon’s toiletries. They also include breakfast served as a continental-style hamper delivered to the room each morning.
In addition, family-friendly options include a dedicated children’s menu and a spacious family bedroom. Dogs are welcomed in the restaurant and bar areas, as well as in the bedrooms.
Anthony Cooper-Barney, owner of Palé Hall Estate, said: “We are thrilled to introduce The Bryntirion Inn as the latest part of the Palé Hall Estate. This project is especially close to my heart – it has given me the perfect place to share my classic car collection, while creating a true village pub where locals can feel at home.
“With Tristan leading the kitchen, we are proud to offer a food and drink experience rooted in local produce and quality. The Bryntirion is about genuine hospitality, great food, and celebrating everything that makes this part of Wales so special.”
