About BPH (The History)
Originally the land that the hotel stands on was farmland belonging to a local farmer and the farmhouse attached to the land still stands opposite the hotel.
Wat's Dyke runs through the hotel grounds, the dyke runs from Basingwerk on the Dee Estuary to just outside Oswestry. The name Wat was a personal name during the Anglo-Saxon period. There is no reference to the dyke being called Wat's Dyke before the fourteenth century and the word could mean "wet" or " rough".
The first building was completed in 1982 when the Arches Inn and Hotel opened. In 1987 the hotel was extended and opened by The Duke of Westminster and the name of the hotel changed to Arches Hotel. In 1988 the hotel was bought by the Beaufort Group and the name changed to The Beaufort Palace Hotel. In 1994 the name was changed to The Beaufort Park Hotel when it was acquired by the present owner and over the last 12 years has become one of Wales' most successful independent hotels.
