Fodor's Expert Review Penally Abbey

Built on the site of a 6th-century abbey in 5 acres of lush forest overlooking Camarthen Bay, this dignified 18th-century house is awash with period details. Bedrooms in the main house are furnished with antiques and four-poster beds, while those in the Coach House are simpler; all are decorated in white with splashes of color and have a chic beach house vibe. Excellent suppers made with local produce are available each evening in the top-notch restaurant, Rhosyn.
