The Kinmel & Kinspa – Brasserie 1786

Overview

Set within rolling parkland just outside the North Wales market town of Abergele, The Kinmel & Kinspa combines country hotel comfort with contemporary wellness facilities and fine dining at its acclaimed Brasserie 1786.

With easy access from the A55 and only a few miles from the seafront, The Kinmel & Kinspa promises a restful yet interesting escape.

Eat

Brasserie 1786 is the culinary heart of The Kinmel & Kinspa, offering a menu rooted in Modern British dishes with well-judged international influences. Two AA Rosettes attest to the skill and consistency of the kitchen, which focuses on local, seasonal produce across a tempting à la carte selection. Expect smart, uncluttered plates—think Welsh lamb, market fish, and robust yet balanced vegetarian mains—served in an elegant dining room that blends period features with contemporary touches. The wine list is thoughtfully curated and service is attentive yet relaxed, enhancing the overall experience. Lighter bites and traditional afternoon tea are also available in the Oak Lounge and Terrace restaurant, making dining here as flexible as it is refined.

Sleep

The hotel’s bedrooms offer a blend of understated luxury and homely comfort, from classic doubles to more spacious junior suites. Soft greys and muted tones predominate, offset by plush fabrics and crisp linens. Many rooms overlook the grounds, and all are equipped for modern needs, with walk-in showers or larger bathrooms inviting a post-spa unwind. Guests who appreciate peaceful nights, generous breakfasts, and the convenience of having spa and dining on the doorstep will find The Kinmel a welcoming base.

Retreat

With its sizeable Kinspa complex, guests can focus on relaxation—hydrotherapy pool, aromatherapy steam room, experience showers, and a tranquil relaxation suite offer a true spa break, while expert therapists deliver a range of treatments. Afternoon strolls in the gardens or heritage woodland trail invite a breath of fresh air, and the traditional seaside resorts of Colwyn Bay and Llandudno are each less than half an hour’s drive away. The charming Conwy Valley, historic castles, and the open landscapes of Snowdonia are within reach for day trips. Trains from Chester to Abergele & Pensarn take about an hour, with the hotel a short taxi ride from the station. Whether you’re looking to unwind, indulge in excellent food, or explore coastal North Wales, The Kinmel & Kinspa provides a well-placed and stylish retreat.
