HENLLYS, BEAUMARIS

Stephenson Halliday, working with JMP Architects of Lancaster, prepared design and construction drawings for the redevelopment of Henllys Hall, a Victorian hotel near Beaumaris for the Holiday Property Bond. The site, which overlooks the Menai Straits and the mountains of the Snowdonia National Park, now provides apartments and cottages for Bondholders, as well as a leisure club and golf course.

The immediate surroundings of the refurbished Hall and newly built cottages provide private and communal gardens, car parking areas and spaces for outdoor games. The planting styles of the gardens reflect the context of the buildings; formal, traditional planting with pyramid yews, roses and lavender hedges to the entrance forecourt of the Victorian Hall and looser, informal perennials with grasses to the frontages of the newly built cottages.

A network of walks has been developed through the woodlands which surround the Hall, with the management plan for these important semi-natural woods prepared by Stephenson Halliday and ongoing management carried out by the Bond’s own staff.
