Penally Abbey Hotel in Pembrokeshire has been brought to market for an undisclosed sum.
Located on the edge of Tenby, the Grade II listed property has been owned by Melanie and Lucas Boissevain for the past 11 years.
During that time the couple restored the 12-bedroom hotel and established Rhosyn, its two AA Rosette restaurants.
The hotel, which features sea views, landscaped gardens and period interiors, was named Best Hotel in Wales 2024 at the AA Awards.
Announcing the sale, Melanie Boissevain, said: “Penally Abbey has been such a special part of our lives for over a decade. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved here and of the wonderful team who have helped us create a hotel with real soul.
“With our family getting bigger and grandchildren now in our lives, the time feels right to hand it over to new custodians who can take it into its next prosperous chapter.”
Lucas Boissevain added: “This is a very personal decision for our family. Penally Abbey will always have a place in our hearts, but as we start to plan for retirement, we believe the hotel is ready for new owners to continue building on its success.”
The hotel is being marketed as a going concern. Sam Roberts, senior agent at Christie and Co, said: “This is an outstanding opportunity to acquire Penally Abbey Hotel, set in one of Pembrokeshire’s most desirable coastal locations. With charming interiors, versatile accommodation and a strong trading history, the hotel offers a ready-made business with scope to enhance revenue further.”
