Dating back to the early part of the 18th century, with later additions, Ffarm House is a Grade II listed property which was extensively refurbished in 2006 and 2007, to provide comfortable modern living. The house has been both a private property and a boutique hotel, and the flexible accommodation suits both.
The stone façade is elegant and castellated with mullioned windows, while the grand staircase and extremely high ceiling distinguish the hall, which is warmed by a large stove in the fireplace. The ground floor has two kitchens, while one reception room is currently used as a bedroom. Stairs lead up to the ballroom, which has its own bathroom and bedroom. This floor also boasts a dining room, drawing room, a morning room and there are cellars in the lower ground floor.

Outside the gardens lie mainly to the front and sides of the property; the orchard has been recently planted with an assortment of 50 trees - the land comes to around two acres.
Ffarm House is located on the edge of Betws-yn-Rhos, five miles from the north coast in Wales, and on the north-eastern edge of Snowdonia National Park. The station at nearby Colwyn Bay has trains to London, Manchester and Birmingham.
