The Good Hotel Guide has revealed its annual list of 12 César winners with Penally Abbey in Tenby taking home the award for the Best Hotel in Wales. The awards are given to hotels, inns and B&Bs considered outstanding in their particular category.
Not in its 46th edition, it claims to be the only truly independent hotel guide in the UK. Named after a famous Swiss hotelier, César Ritz, the guide has given out 10 awards each year since 1984. They are given to hotels, inns and B&Bs which are outstanding in their particular category. Previous Welsh winners have included The Bell at Skenfrith, Monmouthshire, and Porth Tocyn Hotel in Abersoch.
Of Penally Abbey, they say: "Owner and interior designer Melanie Boissevain has created stylish, relaxing rooms filled with antiques, French market finds, blowsy wallpapers and Persian rugs in this Strawberry Hill Gothic house on the coast a five-minute drive from Tenby."
