Egerton Grey Country House Hotel is an AA four star listed hotel located near the Bristol Channel in Porthkerry Park, Barry in the Vale of Glamorgan, south Wales. It is located near the viaduct and Cardiff International Airport, hidden away from the main park area. The house was originally built in the 17th century[1] and functioned a rectory for some time. It opened as a luxury hotel in 1988 and retained its Edwardian bathrooms, open fireplaces, and antique furnishings including paintings and porcelain,[1] with its original brasswork, mahogany and oak panelling.[2] The hotel has 10 ensuite rooms, with many of the rooms containing their Victorian or Edwardian appearances with four-poster posters etc.[3] Past owners include Anthony and Magda Pitkin, and latterly Richard Morgan-Price and Huw Thomas from 2002. The 3.5 acre garden contain croquet. Prince Charles of Wales and the Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall stayed at the hotel in June 2007 and the 14th Dalai Lama has also stayed at the hotel.[2][4] The hotel is currently closed for business.
