The Drawing Room

In the two tiny sage-green front rooms of The Drawing Room hotel, a crackling fire, traditional antiques and porcelain trinkets lend an elegant French atmosphere to this Welsh gem. A brass bedpan stuffed with new slippers suggests this is a place intended to relax. And the food is out of this world at this husband-and-wife-run establishment:she makes the pastries, breads and starters; he tends to the main courses. The bedrooms are très Elle Deco: Venetian glass, stylish fabrics, contemporary chintz wallpaper, roll-top baths.
