What is recorded here

Hawarden Castle Hotel stands on Station Road in Queensferry, Flintshire, recorded as a Post Medieval inn. It is the kind of place where travellers dropped weary horses and heard other travellers repeat the same road stories. The castle name suggests pride, but the hotel function suggests service: heat, food, beds and a chamber pot emptied at dawn. Whatever grandeur once surrounded it, the inn measured greatness in miles walked and ale drunk.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Hawarden Castle Hotel, Station Road, Queensferry as Inn from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Hawarden Castle Hotel, originally built in the 19th century, was established as an inn and is remembered for its historical role in serving travelers along the Chester to Holyhead coaching route. Its location in Queensferry, near the Menai Strait, made it a notable stop for those using the Britannia Bridge.
