A hotel next to a "famous" North Wales landmark has gone on the market.
Llangollen's Chainbridge Hotel was built in 1827 and became a popular venue partly thanks to its fantastic location adjacent to the famous chain bridge over the River Dee.
Seamus O'Keeffe bought the site nearly 10 years ago. Since then has invested heavily in building up the business over the last decade.
While it has proved hugely successful he has decided it is time for a change - although it will be business as usual until a new buyer takes over.
The 33 bedroom hotel with a bar and popular restaurant is on the market with Fleurets for £1.8m.
Mr O'Keeffe said: "We’re under no pressure to move on, and whenever we do it will be with a heavy heart.
"It’s a magical place but we think it’s the right time to give somebody else a crack of the whip!
"It’s an absolutely fantastic business, obviously an incredible, unique location, and we’ve had a lot of fun and success building up the hotel over the 10 years we’ve been here.

"We have some other interests we want to try and pursue so it seems the right time for a change.
"Despite the challenges of this last year we’ve actually been blown away with how popular the hotel was, and bookings for this year are looking great."
Fleurets said: "The Chainbridge Hotel was built in 1827 and became a popular venue due to its location adjacent to the famous chain bridge over the River Dee.
"The hotel has a strong reputation for quality and service, resulting in significant repeat trade."
