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:
“To me heaven would be a big bull ring with me holding two barrera seats and a trout stream outside that no one else was allowed to fish in and two lovely houses in the town; one where I would have my wife and children and be monogamous and love them truly and well and the other where I would have my nine beautiful mistresses on nine different floors.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
