The Man Who Took on a Mansion

The story of one man who risked it all on the dream of returning a magnificent Grade I listed mansion in north Wales to its former glory.

Plas Glynllifon is a spectacular Grade I listed mansion on the outskirts of Caernarfon, north Wales. Built in the 1830s, it has an incredible history, including hosting Prince Charles鈥檚 investiture ball. Its story took a new twist in 2017, when after years of languishing on the market and falling into serious disrepair, Plas Glynllifon finally found a new owner. Paul Williams fell instantly in love with the place and after buying it, he began a quest to return it to its former glory.

For over four years, we follow the multimillion-pound renovation as Paul sets out to transform the mansion from dilapidated state to 5-star hotel. But it all costs, and with time and finances running out fast, Paul finds himself in a race to complete Glynllifon鈥檚 transformation before the dream is lost.
