Until the 1980s this large
17th-century house belonged to Lord Snowdon's family; his wife, Princess Margaret, of-
ten stayed here. Despite the ancestral photos in the hallway and the grand drawing room,
the overall impression is surprisingly homey. The nine bedrooms are filled with antiques
and thoughtful touches (Moulton Brown toiletries, fluffy bathrobes). It's set amid extens-
ive grounds off the A487, 2 miles south of Caernarfon.
