Bodelwyddan Castle set for 37-room upgrade
Bodelwyddan Castle is set to be upgraded with 37 new guest rooms. Warner Leisure Hotels has applied to Denbighshire County Council’s planning department, seeking planning permission for a change of use and listed consent.
If granted, the grade-two listed building’s former museum will also be converted into a hotel. The plans include ancillary guest facilities and internal alterations, the installation of a lift shaft, the erection of a single-storey extension to the cabaret venue, a two-storey extension to the Llewellyn building, and a glazed walkway and canopy.
If agreed, there will also be a two-storey extension to the spa building with alterations to the doors and fenestrations with a partial demolition of the existing building. A letter supporting the application reads, “Warner is seeking to upgrade the facilities at the existing hotel and deliver a comprehensive programme of investment, which will take the form of both refurbishments and extension works.
