The hotel was originally a small hunting lodge built in 1787 by Thomas Johnes, the then squire of The Hafod Mansion Estate, and it was enlarged and converted into a Swiss style chateau in 1839 by the third Duke of Newcastle, and Sir Henry Houghton. It attracted numerous visitors and inspired the Wordsworth poem "To the torrent at Devil's Bridge".
