Our gardens enjoy an incredible location with extraordinary unlocked potential. Set in 26 acres the gardens at Penmaenuchaf are registered with CADW for their historic interest as a well-preserved 19th century terraced garden. Beyond the sunken ornamental garden and its lavender beds, the site enjoys a hidden network of time worn paths through our ancient woodland, manicured lawns, streams, ponds, wildflower meadows and mature trees. Our terrace and lawns overlook the iconic Mawddach estuary with the dramatic mountain vistas of Snowdonia as its backdrop.
Today, Penmaenuchaf is an exemplary small luxury hotel, acquired by Seren in 2022, a unique collection of high-quality hospitality venues in Wales. The hotel is highly regarded as one of the finest privately-owned country house hotels in North Wales. At the foot of Cadair Idris in the heart of the national park, the 14-bedroom hotel holds a coveted ‘Michelin Key’ and also home to an excellent restaurant, renowned for a wonderful wine list.
We are now looking for a hugely talented and experienced Head Gardener to help design and deliver a vision for the gardens so that our guests are inspired to visit the hotel to enjoy your endeavour as much as our fabulous rooms, food and service.
