The house was constructed between 1910 and 1920 and retains many of the original period features. The classic Art Nouveau "Tulip", "Whiplash" and "Rose" styles are repeated throughout the house, evoking that 'Belle Epoque' period where design flair, style and colour eclipsed the dark and sombre Victorian era.

The fittings, the furniture, the wall coverings and the fabrics used in the refurbishment of Ardwyn House have all, where possible, been selected to complement the restoration project as a whole.

Concessions to modern living have been made with the total re-wiring,
re-plumbing and central heating of the house, along with smoke and fire alarms throughout for your comfort and safety. Much attention has been given to supplying ample hot water and a comfortably warm environment. Modern mattresses adorn the oak or brass beds, and even the lighting is
in keeping with the period.

The bedrooms are all equipped with comfortable mattresses.
Extra blankets and covers are supplied should you feel the need. The heating in each room is individually thermostatically controlled. The bed linen and the towels are of the finest quality Egyptian cotton. Each bedroom has the benefit of it's own en-suite bath or shower room, each one differing from the rest. These large bathrooms house a roll-top bath or a huge shower.

The rooms have a remote colour TV/VHS player, with a selection of films available from reception. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided along with some biscuits.
