Award-winning landscape photographer Claire Carter at Penmaenuchaf Hall
Lynnau Cregennen - Morning Drama by Claire Carter.
Starting off simply as a convenient way to capture fleeting scenes for her
paintings,
Claire Carter's photographs soon became an artistic phenomenon in
their own right. During the last ten years her photography has been widely
published, exhibited and acknowledged in international competitions.
Claire said recently: "Photography is a wonderful excuse just to be in
breathtaking places. Standing for hours watching the effect of light on a
scene, can be like watching a drama unfold."
Penmaenuchaf Hall Hotel is delighted to be exhibiting her photographic work in
the hotel. Many of the pictures were taken not far from the hotel featuring
some of the most beautiful scenes in Snowdonia. Customers and the public can
buy mounted prints from the reception or order framed images to be delivered to
their home.

Ring in the Changes
Our grand oak
panelled drawing room is now complete for our guests to
enjoy. This stylish room has a truly romantic, warm and convivial
ambience. Fall into the comfy leather sofas in front of the
stone arched fireplaces and enjoy those stunning mountain
views. Or perhaps be entertained on the fine grand piano whilst
sipping an aperatif and musing over the dinner menu and wine
list. Then... step into our recently opened garden
room restaurant, Llygad yr haul, it has a contemporary
feel, with a stunning Welsh slate floor, oak panelling, gothic
windows and yet again, those wonderful views. We are sure
you will be delighted with the changes.

Bring in the New
We are delighted to introduce two of our recently extended
and refurbished rooms. The Watson Fielding room with its huge new picture
window complete with window seat and views across the Mawddach
estuary to the Rhinog mountains. This is undoubtedly the largest
room in the hotel with a king size bed, spacious lounge area
and roomy bathroom. The Reynolds Williams room has the addition
of French doors leading on to a large balcony again with wonderful
views across the Estuary to the mountains in the background.
We are positive our guests will enjoy these new deluxe bedrooms.
