MYSTIC MEETINGS AT YNYS HIR HALL
Posted on 25/02/2009

Innovative packages to encourage clear thinking in today’s gloomy economic times

Today’s tough economic times inevitably means tough decisions and for those important decisions, you need a clear head; you need time and space to look at things from a new perspective. Time away from the intrusions and constant interruptions of modern life.

Escape to Ynys Hir Hall, translated as Long Island, a hidden gem, tucked away in the Welsh Mountains. Last year Ynys Hir Hall was named as the best country house hotel in the UK and Ireland and it is easy to see why – it is a charming small hotel hidden away in 14 acres of glorious gardens and protected by a Biosphere reserve.

Ynys Hir has seen a rise in the number of exclusive bookings rise in the past twelve months; they have found their clients are looking for the real luxury of personal attention and privacy. With just nine bedrooms, Ynys Hir is the perfect exclusive use venue for top level board meetings – you are assured of complete confidentiality and a bespoke service that is tailored to your exact requirements.

Whilst just being in the silence and clean air seems like therapy, Ynys Hir also has a range of activities to enhance the clear-minded thinking needed by todays pressured business executives. Tai Chi on the lawn, yoga sessions or guided walks through the hills and along deserted beaches by their ‘mystic guide’ Phil Bracchi of Instant Calmer. They also have personal coaches and counselors available should you wish to add this to your programme. They even offer star gazing if the skies are clear!

You will not only leave Ynys Hir with a clear mind but a clear conscience, the sublime award-winning food is all sourced from within a few miles of the kitchen from local farmers and fishermen or gathered from the wild!

This can all be at your fingers trips and it’s not a million miles away. Just 2 hours from Chester, 2.5 hours from Manchester , Cardiff or Birmingham, 4.5 hours from London.
The hotel is used to catering for VIP guests, numbering royalty, film stars and politicians amongst their regular clientele. Like their business clients, many return time and again for their dose of ‘Ynys Hir magic’.

Exclusive Use Packages start from £6,500 per day, low season, including dinner, bed and breakfast (no alcohol). All exclusive use packages are costed individually.

All von Essen hotels can be hired exclusively – whether it is a Chateau in France, a castle in Scotland or a country house near Bath, all offer hotels in the collection offer you the privacy you require with the additional benefits associated with the hotels.
