Penmaenuchaf Hotel & Gardens

About

Perched high above the Mawddach estuary at the foot of the rugged Cadair Idris, you’ll find the stone fronted Penmaenuchaf. Inspired by the dramatic ancient landscape of Snowdonia National Park this grand old house has its own beautiful history and each room with unique and characterful appeal. Adventure abounds in this land of longing, rich in stories of Welsh myth and legend as fantastical as the scenery in front of you. Escape to our mountain hideaway and leave the everyday behind to relax in extraordinary North Wales. You'll be welcomed with warm smiles as you step into our country house overlooking the stunning Mawddach Estuary. Embrace the tranquility of this most scenic location and experience our unbuttoned approach to exceptional hospitality. Our Head Chef, Owen Vaughan, and his talented kitchen brigade are focused on creating menus with high-quality, delicious ingredients, that are as local as possible. Join us in our restaurant for lunch and dinner daily, and enjoy great British cooking with an true emphasis on big flavours. Our beautiful garden room restaurant has been named 'Llugad yr Haul' which is Welsh for 'eye of the sun'. Owners Zoe & Neil Kedward and their Seren family of Welsh hospitality businesses which includes the renowned 5 star Grove of Narberth Hotel and Michelin starred Beach House Restaurant in Oxwich, purchased Penmaenuchaf Hotel in June 2022. A new story for this old house has now began and we're now on a journey to continue to restore, rejuvenate and evolve every aspect at this beautiful house. We'd love for you to join us on this adventure. Our bedroom, restaurant, bar and lounge spaces will all gently evolve over the years to come and we're looking forward to sharing those changes with you. You can be rest assured that we will be retaining all the beautiful historic character of the property inside and out whilst building on its sense of place in this remarkable Snowdonia mountain landscape.
