About the award 

This is the AA’s ultimate accolade for hotels in Wales. It is awarded to hotels that are recognised as being outstanding examples in their particular market.

Porth Tocyn Hotel, Pwllheli

Porth Tocyn is a truly authentic, familyrun hotel with deep-rooted character, immaculate standards and a real sense of place. This is definitely not a formula or a heavily engineered luxury product. Instead, it delivers those qualities that the best hotels possess: warmth, personality and an emotional connection to its clientele. Its setting means sweeping views across Cardigan Bay to Snowdonia, and the small scale of the operation allows for the kind of personal care that larger hotels may struggle to sustain. There is a sense of continuity here too, as Henry and Kelly Fletcher-Brewer take the hotel forward and build on years of family stewardship. Porth Tocyn has a slightly magical recipe: a hotel with charm to spare, a disregard for passing fashion, a wellkept feel throughout, excellent food and genuine hospitality.
