Penmaenuchaf Goes for
Gold
The hotel is delighted to have gained a Gold Award from Visit
Wales and takes pride in the fact that the hotel is in the
top 2% of all Visit Wales graded accommodation. The award
list consists of 12 Hotels (of which we are one) and 25 other
guest accommodations. The businesses were not able to apply
to be on the list and all businesses graded by Visit Wales
were considered. Those who achieved a sufficiently high quality
score at their most recent grading assessment were selected
for a mystery shopper testing - we obviously passed the mystery
shopper test with flying colours! www.visitwales.co.uk |

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 mountian
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, gothin
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 house 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. |

AA Notable Wine List
Certificate
The hotel wine list has recently received an accolade
from the AA. Our wine list reached the final round of the
AA Wine Award selected from over one thousand wine lists based
on the overall quality of its wine selection and presentation.
Our Notable Wine List certificate will be prominently displayed
and our entry in the Restaurant Guide will also feature a
"Notable Wine List Symbol". We, particularly Mark,
are all delighted. |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Computer access
We have recently installed a computer at the hotel especially
for our guests' use. It is located in the library where peace and
tranquillity prevail, the perfect spot for checking or sending e-mails
or even researching on the Internet. Reception will log on for anyone
wanting to use the computer and for those not interest in today's
technologies, it's so unobtrusive you wouldn't even realise it was
there!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recent Installation
After much deliberation, "should we or shouldn't we",
we decided to have a satellite dish installed at the hotel and can
now receive ten television channels including channel five, BBC
News, ITV2, S4C, channel four and a non stop music channel. Apart
from the extra choice of channels the quality of the picture is
superb. We are sure our guests will be pleased with this additional
facility. For those not partial to the silver screen the off button
still works extremely well!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mountain Bike Guiding Service
We have privilege to introduce fully qualified mountain
bike guides to take our guests around the Dolgellau area of the
Snowdonia National Park including the Coed y Brenin cycle centre.
A variety of mountain bike trips and courses to cater for all abilities
from beginner to expert are on offer. Rides start from the Hotel
and can be tailored to individual or group specifications. One or
two day courses typically include "A ride with guide" and "MTB Training".

Charity Bike Ride - We did it!
 |
And how ... Yet another hugely
successful Cape Argus Pick'n'Pay cycle ride in South Africa.
Conditions couldn't have been better, no wind, no rain and
a little cloud cover to stop the intense sun from scorching
down on us, the Gods were certainly looking after us all.
Of the 37,000 entrants only 28,726 completed
the course in the seven-hour time limit. No major accidents
this year and no fatalities, only one pile up involving 20
cyclists, which appropriately happened on Hospital Hill, and
several other minor incidents along the way. |
It was a record ride for both Mark and Lorraine.
Mark improving his time by 21 minutes and finishing the race in
3hrs 33mins, coming in at position 6,824. Lorraine improving her
time by 18 minutes, a race time of 4hrs 22mins and coming in at
position 16,498 (as a matter of interest there were only 5,480 female
entrants). For full information on the race including photographs
of both Mark and Lorraine visit www.cycletour.co.za - Mark's race number 13,265,
Lorraine's race number 22,223.
Mark and Lorraine sincerely thank all their supporters
and are pleased to confirm they raised £893.00. Monies will
go equally between the AIR AMBULANCE, WALES and the SOS CHILDREN'S
CHARITY (SA).
