It’s described as one of Pembrokeshire’s best kept secrets, but it won’t be for much longer.
For the Lamphey Court Hotel has secured an entry in the AA book of Britain’s Best Hotels.
The stunning Georgian parkland mansion is one of only two hotels in Pembrokeshire to make it into print in the AA book.
“We are, of course, delighted to be featured,” said the hotel’s manager, Phil Thomas.
Mr Thomas, 44, has recently arrived at Lamphey Court with an extensive CV working at leading hotels throughout the UK.
He is one of a number of new faces eager to put the Lamphey Court Hotel firmly on the map for destination hotels.
Tom Mansfield, 31, has also recently started work as the new Head Chef, following a career which took in the 5 star St David’s Hotel, Cardiff Bay, the Newbridge Inn owned by TV and radio star Chris Evans and the 3 AA Rosette La Grousse D’ail Restaurant in Oxford.
Mr Thomas added:
“We have an exciting team building here at Lamphey Court Hotel and we aim to be one of the premier hotels in Wales. The welcome mat is out and perhaps now, by being featured in the AA book, the secret is out and Lamphey Court is no longer one of Pembrokeshire’s best kept secrets!”
The AA book says about the Lamphey Court Hotel –
‘It is one of Pembrokeshire’s best kept secrets, a stunning hotel set in beautiful grounds. The facilities include 39 bedrooms, a beautiful Georgian restaurant and a wonderful conservatory restaurant, bar lounge, plus function and conference facilities.
‘The hotel has its own spa with gym, spa bath, sauna, treatment rooms for massage, reflexology, hot rock therapy, hair and beauty treatment and much more.
‘There are also two floodlit tennis courts and under construction is a new state-of-the-art spa with infinity pool, due to open in summer 2011.’
The hotel is next door a fine historic attraction, Lamphey’s Bishop’s Palace. It is close to the Pembrokeshire coast, Tenby and Saundersfoot.
