Boutique Hotel and Restaurant Development

Set within the scenic surroundings of Pontneddfechan, this 32-week project involved the transformation of the Sgwd Gwladys site into a boutique hotel with an adjoining restaurant. The scheme was designed to enhance the visitor experience and support local tourism through high-quality, sympathetically designed accommodation and hospitality spaces.

Project Scope

• Renovation and extension of existing buildings to create boutique hotel accommodation
• Development of a stylish restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating areas
• Complete interior fit-out to luxury hospitality standards
• Installation of hotel amenities and services
• Kitchen and service area construction for the restaurant
• Landscaping to enhance the natural surroundings
• Creation of parking and outdoor recreational spaces
• Implementation of sustainable energy systems

Design Approach

The development required a sensitive approach to complement its natural setting:

• Local materials were incorporated to blend with the surroundings
• Design elements reflected the natural beauty of the Waterfall Country
• The building footprint was optimised to minimise environmental impact
• Views were maximised through thoughtful window placement
• Interior design featured locally-sourced elements and craftsmanship

The completed development has become a popular destination for visitors to the area, providing high-quality accommodation and refreshments in a stunning natural setting, and contributing significantly to the local tourism economy.
