Our very own Torrent Walk
Our newly extended trail is the perfect post-luncheon amble.
It's on a slightly smaller scale than Dolgellau's famous Torrent Walk,
but our newly extended trail is the perfect post-luncheon amble. Take a
serendipitous stroll around the lake. Enjoy the local flora and fauna
and relaxing babble of the streams. The additional loop means you can
meander through the woods and across the streams enjoying those
magnificent views on your way.

Come and See Our Bee Delights
The Penmaenuchaf bee hives
When you next visit Penmaenuchaf Hall take a stroll in the grounds and see our busy bees flying in and out of their hives.
Then test the tasty honey produced from our very own hives.
It's delicious, it’s totally natural and it’s available to buy along with other beeswax products in our bar shop.

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.

Our grand oak
panelled drawing room is now complete for our guests to

stone arched fireplaces and enjoy those stunning mountain

sipping an aperatif and musing over the dinner menu and wine
list. Then... step into our recently opened garden

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.
