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.
