North Wales in Summer: Why Palé Hall Is the Place to Base Yourself This School Holiday
Mountains, lakes, coast and a Michelin-pedigreed kitchen to come back to - the Dee Valley in summer is worth the journey, and summer dates fill quickly.
The Dee Valley is at its best right now - the estate is in full colour, the kitchen is drawing on the peak of the season, and Snowdonia is on the doorstep.
The estate is at its most alive in summer. Luke Selby's kitchen is working with the best of what the Welsh landscape produces at this point in the year, the grounds are in full colour, and Snowdonia sits on the doorstep for anyone who wants to make use of it. We have shaped our current offerings around every kind of stay - from a single evening built around a tasting menu to a week in the hills with the family. Here is what is available.
The Art of Fine Dining
Bed, breakfast and a tasting menu for two. Available Sunday to Thursday, this is an evening designed to be unhurried - working through the very best of Welsh produce course by course, with Luke Selby's kitchen at its most considered. Stay the night, wake to breakfast, and take advantage of complimentary late check-out.
A Night On Us
Three nights from £700 per room, bed and breakfast - with the third night on the house. Available Monday to Wednesday. The estate is quieter midweek, the days are yours to spend however you choose, and the kitchen is waiting each evening. No crowds, no rush, no reason to be anywhere else.
Estate Indulgence
Bed, breakfast, early check-in, a two-course lunch and late check-out - all included. Available Monday to Thursday. Arrive early, settle into the house, and take lunch in the dining room before the afternoon opens up entirely. Two courses from Luke Selby's seasonal menu, no clock to watch, and nowhere you need to be.
Adventure Eryri
15% off stays of three to seven nights throughout the summer school holidays, from £350 per room per night, bed and breakfast. Snowdonia is on the doorstep and the summer holidays pass quickly. Use Palé Hall as your base - spend the days on the trails, beside the lakes and in the mountains, and come back each evening to soft beds and a kitchen that makes every adventure worth the return.
A Seat at Luke Selby's Table
£340 per person. Limited spaces remain. Six courses rooted in the estate and the producers Luke works with, each paired by the sommelier team, served in The Hearth - the original Victorian kitchen at the heart of the house. This is as close to the centre of what we do as it gets. Final seats are available now.
