The building

12 rooms

Each individually crafted room has the essence of the captain’s cabin: reclaimed wood lined walls, floors made from 150 years old oak, king-size beds, custom-made furniture and hand-picked reclaimed fixtures, Welsh wool blankets and textiles woven to traditional designs.

All rooms are en-suite and include Aesop soaps, breakfast, resident lounge and reservations at the bar.

History

Legacy

On April 11th 1819 the brig Albion set out from Cardigan, a ship carrying 27 families from the local area to a new life in New Brunswick, Canada. Approximately 150 persons proceeded to Fredericton, where they took up tickets-of-location for forest land between Madam Keswick and Nashwaak, founding almost certainly the first Welsh settlement in Canada, at Cardigan.

Restaurant

Yr Odyn

Yr Odyn, meaning The Kiln, takes its name from the remains of the 18th century lime kilns which formed part of the historic network of wharfside warehouses where the Albion is located. The name also embodies our love of cooking with fire and smoke.
