Stokyn Hall Country
House
is a large Edwardian house set in several acres
of grassland, with far
reaching 'Dee Estuary' views, on the edge of the historic town Holywell, Flintshire in North Wales. Centrally
located for the city of Chester and the towns of
Wrexham and Llandudno.
Llinos and James are delighted to welcome you to
Stokyn Hall Country House Bed and Breakfast. The
house has been in Llinos's family for nearly a
hundred years and has been recently renovated and
tastefully redecorated to suit the
different periods within the house.
Stokyn is a Grade 2* listed building because
of its original interiors and was originally
designed by Waring and Gillows
at the turn of the century.
Accommodation.
The White Bedroom has all the original furniture
and features designed by Warring and Gillows at
the turn of the century, and has been carefully
restored to its original colours.
The Middle Bedroom offers views over the Dee
Estuary and has been decorated in keeping with the
period of the house with Sanderson wallpaper in a
rich tangerine and pale yellow.
We only cater for bed and breakfast in two rooms,
one of which is about 22ft square and can be
used as a family room; it includes a small sofa
bed which is big enough for one or two children
under 10 years old.
Guest rooms are all self-contained on the first
floor and are all
non smoking,
include remote colour
TV, hostess tray, shaver adapter and radio/alarm
clock 'Wireless Internet' access is also

House and Gardens.
Stokyn
Hall is one of the most original Edwardian Houses
in North Wales with far reaching Dee Estuary
views.
The
house dates back to about 1650 and is mentioned in
the Thomas Pennant books 'Tours of Wales' .
During the early nineteenth century significant
changes were carried out by the Roskell family
whose personal wealth came from lead smelting
works. George Roskell's political and social
status was also rising in the community at this
time; he became the first Lord Mayor' of Flint.
The entrance hall
is based on a 'Tudor style' of dark brown
panelling and heavily carved fireplace, with the
'Gothic' porch outside. The
original Victorian kitchen still has the servants
bells(!) and two house maids cupboards; the table
here is so big that when we were renovating the
house, it was one of the only pieces of furniture
we couldn't move because it was too wide to go
through the doors!
