Penally Abbey, old rectory hotel in Pembrokeshire, Wales
Penally Abbey is an 18th-century building functioning as a small country house hotel in a village in Pembrokeshire, with views over Carmarthen Bay and Caldey Island. The property has twelve bedrooms, restored gardens spanning five acres of land, and a restaurant serving local ingredients.
The building was constructed in the 18th century as a residence for clergy and later adapted for different uses. In 2014, the Boissevain family purchased the building and transformed it into a small hotel while preserving many original architectural features.
The name reflects the building's past as a residence for clergy and reflects the religious history of the area. Today, visitors can experience this connection to the past as they walk through rooms that retain original architectural details from that period.
The hotel is straightforward to reach and sits near the town of Tenby with shops, beaches, and historical sites, making it a good base for exploring the area. Pets and children are welcome, and the accommodation offers modern amenities with easy navigation throughout.
The hotel's restaurant, called Rhosyn, opened in 2019 and has earned recognition from the Michelin Guide, highlighting the quality of its food and service. This is noteworthy for a small village hotel focused on local ingredients and relaxed dining culture.
