Bedrooms
Cartrefle’s bedrooms have been designed with style, comfort, and relaxation in mind. Each room has been thoughtfully created to reflect Cartrefle’s immediate location, the seasonal colours of the beautiful grounds, the history of the house, some key aspects of the Isle of Anglesey and the wider National Park of Yr Eryri/Snowdonia which are particularly special to us and we are sure guests would also want to enjoy. The two downstairs bedrooms en suite are also accessible for wheelchair users and those with mobility issues.
The rooms are arranged over two floors.
Sir Isham
This spacious Superking bedroom is tastefully decorated to hark back to the days when Sir Charles Edmund Isham, 10th Baronet & Lady Emily Isham built Cartrefle as their Welsh Retreat in1876.
“Sir Isham” was their Master Bedroom, overlooking the garden planted by Sir Isham, a keen horticulturalist, credited with having invented the term arboretum for a garden of trees and also introducing garden gnomes into the UK from Germany.
