The hotel is close to Lake Padarn although the lake is not in view from the hotel, the grounds are extensive and wooded and bordering the wood is this castle. It is very significant in Welsh history as it is where Prince Llewelyn imprisoned his elder brother Owen to ensure he was not able to make claim the title bestowed upon his younger brother by his grandfather Llewelyn Fawr. Owen was eventually released and, along with the other brother, Dafydd, became a thorn in Llewelyn's side right to the end in 1282.
