Leisure Breaks
The original house was built in 1750 by James Boydell, later to become the Lord Mayor of London, but the then sheriff to the local Harwarden estate, better known under the family name of Gladstone (as in Prime Minister) . The original house is a fine example of the period's Georgian architecture. A grade two listed building the house boasts a fine cantilever staircase built of sandstone which was designed by a Flemish architect captured during the Napoleonic war.

A small footnote of local fable is that Lord Nelson courted Emma Hamilton at Rossett Hall when visiting Harwarden, but perhaps not unsurprisingly, this is not documented anywhere. Today, the property has been sympathetically extended into one of the leading Hotels in the area combining the very best of the old with the new. We are proud of our reputation as a venue for hosting many important events ranging from Prime ministerial visits to celebratory weddings.

The location of Rossett Hall makes for an ideal leisure break. Situated in the quaint village of Rossett (with two working water mills) the hotel is just a ten minute drive from the historic walled city of Chester, the same distance from the market town of Wrexham and at the gateway to the wonderful North Wales Borderlands.

So take the opportunity to pamper yourself in this most friendly of hotels where you will find delightful, spotlessly clean bedrooms, tasty and imaginative food served in Oscars bar and restaurant, the favourite restaurant in the area.
