SPECIAL SUMMER 2015 BREAK
Tyddyn Llan is the place for a break in the beautiful country side of Wales, on the edge of Snowdonia with lots of interesting places to visit, good honest cooking and fine wines.
Summer is here, and so is lots of new season produce… asparagus, peas, broad beans and lovely fresh morels. Sewin and wild salmon from the rivers of south Wales are starting to arrive. And amazing crabs and lobsters from the south coast which come live and kicking! Plus strawberries and all the other fruits. Sample the fantastic produce we are offering, as part of a six-course tasting menu.
Six-course tasting menu with an overnight stay in one of our comfortable rooms and a full breakfast the next morning. £200 in a standard room, £230 in a large room and £260 in one of our best rooms. Sunday through to Thursday.
We also offer a tasting of five wines by the glass (125ml) available at £25 per person to accompany your tasting menu. And if one night is not enough, stay a second night from only £95 per couple for bed and breakfast and choose from our full dinner menu, from £47.

WALKING PACKAGE
Stay with us for a ‘get away from it all’ break and enjoy walking the beautiful mountain range of the Berwyns.

A two-day break in a standard room is £260; a large room £290, and in a best room £320, seven days a week. Rates are per person, two sharing.
2015 SPECIAL WINE DINNERS
We currently have five wine dinners planned. Full details with wines and menus here soon, but for now, here are the dates for your diary…
Wednesday September 5th will be an evening with the legendary Australian wine maker John Duval, who as Chief Winemaker at Penfold’s oversaw one of the most dynamic periods of change in the Australian wine industry. He started his own wine label in 2003 and the dinner will feature some of John’s stunning wines.
On Friday October 9th we will have our popular dinner featuring two of my favourite dishes: lobster and grouse. This will be hosted and have wines chosen by Simon Awdry of Bibendum wines.
On Sunday October 25th there will be a charity dinner with all proceeds going to Carers UK. My hero, friend and Radio 2 DJ Johnnie Walker, who with his wife Tiggy are joint patrons of the charity, will host this special event.
Sunday November 1st is going to be our annual Champagne dinner hosted by Guy Cliffe of Louis Roederer.
Sunday November 15th brings a double anniversary wine dinner to celebrate our 14 years at Tyddyn Llan and Bentley’s wine merchants of Ludlow, 10 year anniversary. Bentley’s supply us with most of our top-end wines. Will Bentley will host the dinner and has promised to make this evening very special for all lovers of fine wines.
Dinner includes all wines. Each dinner is priced individually, starting from £69.00 per person. So that you can enjoy the wines and not have to drive I am offering a reduced bed and breakfast rate of £120 for a standard, £150 for a large room and £180 for the best rooms; Garden Suite: £200. If you fancy a second night on the Saturday I am offering rooms with dinner and breakfast from £250 per couple. Or if work does not get in the way, stay the night before on Thursday from £200.
