Ashley Houses
Sir Bernard Ashley bought Llangoed Hall, seeing it as the place where he could fulfill his ambition to recreate the atmosphere of an Edwardian house party. He later replicated this in other locations, but sold the two American properties in 1999 to Orient-Express Hotels.
- Keswick Hall — in Charlottesville, Virginia — sold in 1999 to Orient-Express Hotels.
- Llangoed Hall — near Brecon, Powys. Purchased 1987, now a hotel and the base for Elanbach.
- Inn At Perry Cabin hotel, in Talbot County, Maryland — sold in 1999 to Orient-Express Hotels.

Famous quotes containing the word houses:
“Hast ever ben in Omaha
Where rolls the dark Missouri down,
Where four strong horses scarce can draw
An empty wagon through the town?
Where sand is blown from every mound
To fill your eyes and ears and throat;
Where all the steamboats are aground,
And all the houses are afloat?...
If not, take heed to what I say,
You’ll find it just as I have found it;
And if it lies upon your way
For God’s sake, reader, go around it!”
—For the State of Nebraska, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
