We’re delighted to celebrate a successful evening for Seren Collection at the 2026 AA Hospitality Awards, with recognition for both Penmaenuchaf and Grove of Narberth, as well as an individual accolade for Grove’s Head Sommelier, Cathryn Bell.
Penmaenuchaf was awarded Four AA Red Stars, recognising the hotel’s quality and continued progress following the completion of its refurbishment this year.
The award marks an exciting new chapter for Penmaenuchaf, as the house enters the next stage of its story while retaining the character, warmth and sense of welcome that have always been at its heart.
Over at Grove of Narberth, the hotel retained its Five AA Red Stars and Four AA Rosettes, recognising the continued standards across the hotel and its restaurant.
The evening also saw Cathryn Bell recognised for her AA Sommelier of the Year award, which she was awarded earlier this year. Her knowledge, passion and approach to wine have become an important part of the experience at Grove, and we’re delighted to see her achievement celebrated once again.
The AA Hospitality Awards draw on the knowledge and expertise of the AA’s inspection team, recognising excellence across hotels, restaurants and hospitality professionals throughout the UK.
We’re incredibly proud of all our teams and the people behind these achievements. From the bedrooms and restaurants to the wine cellar and everything in between, these awards are a reflection of the care, knowledge and dedication that go into creating the Seren experience every day.
Congratulations to everyone involved.
