Boutique country house hotel, Grove of Narberth in Pembrokeshire, and Penmaenuchaf Hotel in Dolgellau, part of the Seren Collection, are delighted to have been awarded One Michelin Key each in the Michelin Key Awards.
Launching for the first time this year, this new award recognises the most outstanding hotels in the UK and Ireland. The Michelin Key is the hotel equivalent of the Michelin Star, and while the star recognises the most outstanding restaurants in the world, the Michelin Key does the same for hotels.
A substantial evaluation process is carried out by the Michelin Guide’s hotel experts to identify the hotels that significantly add to travellers’ experience. Hotels are judged across five key categories including architecture and interior design; quality and consistency of service; overall personality and character; value for the price; and a significant contribution to the guest experience in a particular setting.
Only 123 hotels were awarded with Michelin Keys, to which just three hotels were located in Wales.
Grove of Narberth is an idyllic country house hotel in Wales, nestled in the picturesque Pembrokeshire countryside, offering an enchanting rural retreat. Once a derelict country house, Grove of Narberth is now a lovingly restored, independent country house hotel, inviting guests to indulge in all that this picturesque corner of the country has to offer; from long coastal walks, to cosy meals in its two award-winning restaurants, to long soaks in the in-suite bathtubs after a day out in the crisp, Welsh air.
Nestled within the most picturesque corner of Wales sits Penmaenuchaf, an idyllic retreat. This elegant country house is steeped in history and boasts stunning views of the surrounding mountains and gardens. With its blend of traditional charm and contemporary luxury, the hotel provides a perfect sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. North Wales is a region of awe-inspiring landscapes, ancient castles and charming coastal towns. Eryri National Park, with its majestic peaks and sparkling lakes, is the jewel of the region and full to the brim of some of the country’s very best walking routes. Escape the hustle and bustle of popular tourist spots and be immersed in the raw beauty of the surrounding nature. From towering Yr Wyddfa (Mount Snowdon) to the enchanting Swallow Falls, there’s no shortage of breathtaking walking trails to explore.
